Leibvoitz for Vanity

Comedy's New Legends

Saw that Image again and still like it. There is so much Humor and I like the Fact that Leibovitz shot the original as well as the "Reinterpretation" for Vanity Fair. Another good one is "Frida Karlo"....

Very nice Florist's in Sydney.

I expected the usual Shop where you get your Flowers:
Pretty packed and rather semi-chic, with a nice old pudgy Lady.

But I found myself in a really beautiful, small Florist's. 
As I was/am still feeling out-of-the-aircraft and
just wanted to buy some Flowers and Food 
I felt quiet comfortable being dressed functional but nice
with the usual Shopping Bag in Black, Diana Mini,
red Shades and a messy Bun on top...

I don't expect the staff in a Florist's or a Supermarket dressed
exceptional well. So I felt a little bit shabby,
when I had to learn that at least one Florist in Sydney is 
dresses very well, standing in a enlegant Shop, selling 
beautiful Flowers.  On top I realized that I wasn't that sure
what a Bunch of flowers is called...

But he was nice though an now
I sit next to beautiful Bouquet on my bed though.

Munich is the one with the best Quality of Live.

Apparently I should give the city a real chance to dazzle me...

Cool Name, Dutchwoman, Wobbly Walk

The Presentation, the Scarf, I don't know... 
It kind of reminds me on Final Fantasy or asian Role Play Games in general. 
But thats not the Reason why I like it, not at all.

Love the Colours and the Patterns. Suits his Type. Androgynous. And no nerdy Glasses..

Found it already Saturday night,managed to have a look on Sunday
 and write about it on Monday...:D

So what you have to know about it? Real Grovey may not look
that terrific from the outside but inside you can 
find heaps of old and new stuff in several smaller shops: 

old super cheap and new LPs and CDs, all kind of books,
posters, comics, insane vintage tees, other vintage 
clothes, new clothes, shoes, DVDs...

I think you can even buy tickets for several events there...

Found him yesterday... don't know exactly what made me liking it... maybe the sandals or the whole atmosphere... It's quiet nice although is sitting there in, what I call "Kackposition".

Vielleicht sind es auch die kleinen Missklänge in der Zusammenstellung, die hier aber so sympathisch und vor allem unaufgeregt präsentiert werden.

It's raining...

So much to write so less time(and shitty internet...)

Arrived on Friday. Although quiet rainy, it seems to be a nice city.

Hope a résumé of Melbourne and some more stuff 
from Auckland will come soon or later...
Until than some basic stuff and less illustrations 
(but maybe some crappy photos?)

A blog by eva.lu about fashion and bicycles. 
Nice idea, beautiful creamy colours and loads of bicycles.





T I M // exhibition







Tim Burton in Melbourne. Finally went to the exhibition yesterday.

It was interesting to see the really old stuff (older than a lot of the visitors!.
Like drawings and sketches when he was a teenager and the early movies. - interesting for creative people in particular. 


There are also some dresses and requisites
of his movies (all the actors seem to be quiet short...)and many sculptures (in German there is a difference between Skulptur and Plastik, but I just found this translation...) although I am not sure wether the news ones (for movies like "Nightmare before Christmas") are all done by Tim 
himself.


Favorites:

woman with the fur coat out of living dogs (drawing)

Vincent - great animated movie with a fantastic narrator


the clock from the insane movie Hansel and Gretel 
(Es heißt Hänsel und Gretel!)
the style is more Alice and Charlie 
than his creepy creatures


Found not even one photo of the clock :(


Oh, and you can draw your own Tim Burton character
and pin it on a wall.


And no photos :(


More about the exhibition here...




Oh, and I forgot:
I met Tim at the opening party. The Asian girl in front
of me went crazy for no reason... than I realized Tim Burton
was standing next to me, like 40 cm away. He always looks like
somebody dragged him on the red carpet and really relaxed and a little bit confused. Love the fact, that everything was so unagitated. The band (really good) was playing. He came walked around a little bit and left again. Thats it.


You never no how a celebrity is like, but he seems to be a nice guy...

While thinking about the water problems in Australia
and how some people here
waste it, I was reminded on the virtual water theory.

Of course a theory is never perfect. 
But I think it is a really good way to show dependences.
Germany for example basically "steals" a lot of water 
from poor countries in the world by importing a lot of products.

Should write a little bit more about this, but no time...

But here at least some links:

vimeo.com (german)






And I really need a scanner here or at least a good camera...

C H A R L I E // face of the day

Charlie for Cheap Monday

Unfortunately I found no good Polaroid of Charlie Westerberg - what would have made sense as it is face of the day and not photo of the day. The earring seems to be kin of his signature feature...

More about Charlie on Fashionisto here...

Well, read the tagline... oh and it's just about menswear (but there is counterpart Fashion Gone RougeMore about and from The Fashionisto here...

"Them-And-Us is an initiative aimed at bringing together 20 European and 20 African visual artists, designers, illustrators and photographers. The project aims to explore the similarities and differences between first and third world views and aesthetics by pairing up artists from Europe with their African counterparts..."

I love the design of the publication.
