weekly glee # 8 2009.

woot, time for interesting things again!
it's lovely weather outside and i'm craving to go swimming! so let's start!

1. desertions.


ship abandonment / les baux de palm springs

# the ship by mysicant - wonderful and dangerous shoots of an abandoned ship. this must be a thrilling site!
# les baux de palm springs on luxist.com - well, this house isn't exactly abandoned, but on sale! and what a wonderful villa this is! situated on a hill with a lot of stones around and very natural and beautiful. and the furniture is fantastically old-styled!

2. photogenius.


redheads overload.

# gisele bündchen by phil poynter - transformation from young to old. great!
# lara stone & baptiste giabiconi by karl lagerfeld for harper's bazaar 2009 - very mundane venice and canale grande photoshoot. karl lagerfeld is a very fantastic photographer and i love his points of view on fashion topics. he can be pretty self-ironic, which is something i really like about him.
# mona johannesson by marcus ohlsson - this photoshoot is absolutely devine! i have a thing for red-haired people and this is the most wonderful red i have seen on somebody! but it's not just this, the clothes are very extravagant ( but still somehow simple ) and it rounds up the overall view perfectly!
# olga sherer by elisabeth toll - these could be easily used for a 40ies gangster movie. again, a redhead is the protagonist, and it's a very classy one! the mood in these is incredible.

3. diversity.


lady gaga / wooden chair

# lady gaga - the illuminati puppet : this is the best conspiracy theory i have heard recently: lady gaga has been mind-blown in an illuminati project. now you think it's funny, but no-no, these people are very serious about it! they researched very deep on the informations and they really believe it! 'the vigilant citizen' is a very interesting site, although it leads to extreme paranoia by some people. so don't believe all that is written here! even though it seems very plausible at times.
# the perforated house by kavellaris urban design - this house is crazy! the transparence, the open upper floor, the strange terrace, everything's strange here! but still, the rooms themselves are pretty!
# reclaimed wood furniture by gursan ergil - these chairs and benches are truly amazing. they're made of very old wood and have a very nostalgic feeling. i'd definitely put a bench on my balcony and the little chair in my living room, haha!

and some videos!

marilyn monroe - my heart belongs to daddy



i love the performance a lot and it's good to see that you don't have to be sexed up when giving a show, haha :D well, it's the monroe anyway, she ALWAYS looked gorgeous.

in memoration of les paul ( famous guitarist who was greatly involved in advancing the e-guitars ) , who died a few days ago aged 94:

les paul & mary ford - how high the moon

may '20: seeking modernism.

super pink rhododendron buds emerging! i start off this post with some flower images to appreciate and praise the time of spring, especially the month of may, which is the most abundant spring month to me personally. all the blossoms, all the fresh greens amass during may, and my heart and mind are hardly ever able to not frolick & gush about it all! for this post i am returning to one walk i did with the sole purpose to find a special mid-century villa in königstein ( which would ultimately prove to be a failure - i did find it, but i couldn't approach it properly to have a good look at it and only ever saw a tiny bit of the garden/forest side ). the whole walk was not a letdown, though, as i did find some other mid-century & brutalism gems and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the old spa town in the taunus mountains. rhododendron shrubs yield all kinds of different blossoms in myriad colours, they are easy to breed, therefore a wide variety can be found all over the wor...

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

november: thuringian forest.

the day we visited the thuringian forest near luisenthal we would also receive the death notice of my cousin. while the day in luisenthal was pretty magic - i even found a goat skull to take home for my not so fast growing skull collection - the time we got home and received the phone call of my grandmother, everything went dull. we always had hoped for him to recover - over the course of his sickness there were multiple times we'd thought he was on his way up, but that also counted for the times it was clear that the cancer was severe and probably not defeatable. in the end he fought four years, but he couldn't conquer. his constant optimism & general good will wasn't enough as his body decided to give up on him. i'm still thinking a lot about him, he was such a good natured guy, always seeing the good in everything and everyone. it's so strange to know that he's never going to be on any future family party gathering again. we discussed so many things whe...
