AMUSE

I like the mood in this. Fashion films are always at risk to come across moronic, if we want to be honest. It's clever to focus on a nice mood instead of a mindless plot. Still think spraying on garbage in a bin appears to be slightly retarded.

THE KINKINESS IS GONE

"It was confessional, yet dishonest. Jane pretends to be horrified by the sexuality that she in fact fetishizes. She subsumes herself to the myth of black male potency, but then doesn't follow through. She thinks she 'respects Afro-Americans,' she thinks they're 'cool,' 'exotic,' what a notch he 'd make in her belt, but, of course, it all comes down to mandingo cliché, and he calls her on it. In classic racist tradition she demonizes, then runs for cover. But then, how could she behave otherwise? She's just a spoiled suburban white girl with a Benneton rainbow complex. It's just my opinion, and what do I know... but I think it's a callow piece of writing. "

LAURA

Hi, it's 2012 and this is my first post, showing the result of the shoot with beautiful Laura. It was a pretty spontaneous venture and I am highly pleased with the outcome.

2011 was a great year for me. It was a year of enormous changes but rather mentally than physically. So, the simple plan for 2012 is: GET SHIT DONE.

In case you were wondering what I've been up to: I was intensely thinking about the question, if should get my head shaved.

Okay - that was a quite dramatic introduction and it's also not exactly the truth. I'm pretty positive about the fact, that I will most likely never shave my head. At least not completely. But I have been missing my boy-looking half of a head. I adore short hair on women and moreover, I LOVE the way it feels. This might sound weird but when I had a sidecut, I really enjoyed stroking the bristly hair or more easily letting it get touched by the boyfriend.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to solve this sidecut-situation in consideration of the current dustmob-situation that is going on on my head.

Apart from this aka what I've been really up to: I had an amazing shoot this Monday. Hope to share the result within the next few days. Pre-Christmas madness has taken over and I'm lagging with editing.

Cathy Cooper

People, this lady makes my hippie heart beat faster. Cathy Cooper is her name and she is fabulous. Also, she is the proof that tattoos are awesome, no matter what age you are. Read the Closet Visit interview and check out the polaroid series by Jeana Sohn.

Exhibition: 27 fotografische Positionen

Photography exhibition "27 fotografische Positionen" opened at Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz yesterday and it was a truly delightful evening.
To be perfectly honest: I didn't actually care about the exhibition. I came for Paris Suit Yourself. I expected a lot but in the end they BLEW ME AWAY. I shouldn't even try to put into words what I felt but I can't resist: I felt like I was fucked for the first time. Fucked with all of the energy, existing on this planet. I was close to tears.

The exhibition itself shows a refreshing mix of mainly analogue photographs. Colorful, black & white, motifs at ease, well worth seeing. Go see.

The Hat

Hat Hurley; Sweater Topshop; Coat Cheap Monday; Shorts H&M; Shoes Topshop; Bag Vintage;

Let me tell you something, you probably didn't know: I love hats, I love them bad. No matter if on a men's or women's head. A hat on a head automatically creates a really chic - but edgy - mood and that's what I love about it. This is by far not the first attempt of actually (that means for more than 5 minutes) wearing a hat. I own quite a few but somehow I never really became friends with the idea of carrying such a huge and uncontrollable something on my head. It just didn't feel right and I have to admit, it still feels pretty weird nowadays. The worst part about trying out something new are the staring people. If you don't feel confident, they will smell your fear and stare you into the ground.

Anyway. What do you think? Looking right or wrong?
