weekly glee # 11 2009.

hello from autumny wiesbaden!
the weather is pretty chilly right now and i think i feel the melancholy crawling into my life.
but i have a huge stack of wonderful links coming, so maybe it'll help me through surviving this issue.

1. desertions.

murmansk desertion

# murmansk marine biological institute by victorprofessor - this definitely does not look like some institutional building, so it's all the way more interesting! i love the vacation residence feeling about these buildings. it must have been wonderful to work here! all the stacks of books and sheets, it's amazing what you can find there!

2. photogenius.

warrior from outerspace / bunny woman
( notice the resemblance? tim walker week :D )

# bruna tenorio by geoff barrenger - this arabian-styled photoshoot is just too beautiful!
# the lady who fell to earth by tim walker for vogue uk october 09 - actually, i'm a bit of a phobian when it comes to everything out of space, but these pictures let me hope that there can be beautifulness out there as well :P
# make me a monster by daniel jackson for dazed & confused october 2009 - first off: not safe for work! second: oh my god, how awesome is this? these pictures are jaw dropping! and at the same time you can't help but think how magnificiently beautiful they are. in their very own way.
# ash stymest & anna selzneva by karmi sadli for system F/W 2009 - all i can say about these is: hot! especially ash stymest.
# valentina zelyaeva by richard bush for elle usa september 09 - i love the wind blown clothes and the hair and the overall very november like feeling. i like that the model is not sad nor melancholic but very excited :P
#tim burton's tricks & treats by tim walker - i bet this week's most loved photographer is tim walker, haha :D well, but how can you not love his photography when looking at oversized bones, edward scissorhands, red haired bunny women and tim burton characters all the way through?

3. architecture & design.

# tiramolla loft bedrooms by tumidei - RAD! oh how practical and the best of all: visually stimulating to the eye! i don't think kids should own that all alone. i'd have a great interest in these, too!

4. diversity.

yummy pie / not so yummy monsters

# nubby twiglet introduced dean & de luca - a food store - to her readers and my eyes popped out as i saw the delicious cakes and fruits and the wonderful presentation of the goods! i'm a retail saleswoman and i find it very interesting to see other food trader's concepts. yum!

#alexdoomer2009 has posted some eye catching moscow pictures on his livejournal. check out!
# wanna see some epic hair? check out 'don't judge my hair' and discover the world of bad hair do! like the dog poo hair!
# yummy! watermelon pie! check out! try out!
# artist and photographer mark powell sends us right to hell with his monster modellizations. i found this on my darling's livejournal - usotsuki! check out her icon makery here: live = evil.

5. video time.

bob dylan and patti smith singing dark eyes

there is something so intense and personal between those two. very wonderful to watch this video, i love it lots! here's some more information about bob dylan/patti smith relations.

george harrison and the pirate song.

on september 19th there was the international 'speak like a pirate' day and coilhouse has posted a very funny article about that. i love george harrisson's 'the pirate song' :D

and now i leave with some serious eyecandy. this enchanting young men with autumn leaf hair! quite handsome he is!

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...

autumn impressions.

a selected assortment of autumn related things. ( or things that don't fit into a 'bigger picture' ) i will get around to posting my autumn vacation photos as well. my parents and me visited france a second time and i think it was almost as wonderful as the first time. but i'll get to that soon. moth in front of a vinyl shop window. i bet you know who's smile it is that strikes at you from the record. elvis! i went mushroom hunting again, this time with jasmin, the best mushroom finder i have :) but we didn't have a lot of time together this past autumn, i am very sad to admit this. she's one of our apprentices in the serving area in our market, but recently she's on exchange in a different outlet until january. but soon we'll have her back and our sporadic meetings will stop being sporadic. i think times like these make me realize that there's something worth living for. mostly my life is very grey and i'm so thankful to s...

of dragons & critters and yin & yang kittens.

my cat shadow is a very prolific cat and gives birth to baby sweethearts annually. we always let them grow up until they're old enough to be given away. growing up in a huge garden where they can roam around freely - isn't that the best way to grow up? it's always a joy to visit my parents and my cat in that time of the year. i have also included some pictures of a little rhine trip i made in the middle of may. and the occasional random ones that didn't fit somewhere. rhine wood dragon. sitting on the rhine beach enjoying the beautiful day. my stone collection of the day. ( i seriously have a lot of stones in my home. i love to collect them! ) the river rhine near eltville. random skull assortment ( shot this at the naxoshalle in frankfurt - i was there for a japanese movie festival ) rosey roses. they also smelled heavenly. raindrops on my window. chameleon tail. i adore spirals. baby kittens drinking momma m...
