weekly glee #12 2009.

the elections are over, frau merkel 'reigns' over us for another 4 years. i'm really curious how the new coalition will lead us through these years.
but for now i have some really delightful things to show!

1. desertions.

old barn / decayed paint

# a 1919 carriage house by realbruts - these little houses were meant to be garages and carriage houses. what i don't understand: how can you use these as such? i imagine myself living in them, instead of storeing cars and stuff in it. someone should remodel this as some kind of appartements or a restaurant. too beautiful to be abandoned!
# an old, decayed court by alexdoomer2009 - this courtyard is again one of the beauties that russia has in store. the country must be overflown with old buildings and abandoned places.

2. photogenius.

tavi gevinson / lady gaga bunny pose

# vendula hilkova by irina lis for pink september 2009 - one thing which caught my eyes in this set is the punk styled body. the other thing was the form of vendula's eyebrows, haha. i love them! other than that: there are some nice pieces of clothing in these pictures.
# tavi gevinson by jamie morgan for pop fall/winter - it's incredible how well known this 13-year-old blogger is already! her style is pretty diversified and she mixes some styles that other people would never wear! i like that she's not giving a damn about recent 'in' styles and even wears old-fashioned pieces together with extreme modern ones. for a 13-year-old this means pretty good self confidence! i haven't seen same aged girls yet, most of them wear the regular bullshit that everyone wears. she's such an exception!
# 'monokel diele' : freja beha erichsen, heidi mount, baptiste giabiconi by karl lagerfeld for vogue germany october 2009 - okay, karl lagerfeld has been following me lately. i don't know, i was always that kind of girl that made fun of him, but recently he climbed up on my list of likeable people. it has to do with his photographing skills. and all in all, he really knows what good styling should look like. in this set he plays around with androgynity and it's absolutely fantastic!
# lady gaga by josh olins for vogue uk october 2009 - yeah, despite being an enfant terrible of the music industry, we all must admit that she's got huge style. i don't care if she's crazy, all i know is, that she's revolutionizing fashion world. see also: ellen von unwerth shoot for out magazine!

3. diversity.

occult ritual? / perfect day for bananafish

# the vigilant citizen has put up another awesome conspiracy theory of the VMAs being a massive mega-ritual. so eye-opening! but still, be careful, you should be critical with these stories, it's conspiracy after all.
# bob hates andy. so did bob dylan hate andy warhol? rumour says, he got a painting of elvis from andy warhol and then traded it for a couch. and everyone thought he did that because he doesn't like warhol. this little site is about 'bob hating andy' and the comics are truly exquisite :D

4. video time.

meet a cute french bulldog rolling around on the floor :D

i nearly pissed myself watching this video. it's hilarious! dating shows in the 80ies were fun :P

and on it goes with famous pairings. last time it was bob dylan and patti smith, this time it's nick cave and pj harvey. don't you love these wonderful moments of love?

this week's discovery: electronic pop duo la roux!
unfortunately i can't embed the video to 'bulletproof' here, but i insist you visit laroux's youtube site and watch it there! first, i was pretty unsure what to think of this music, but now i'm so in love! and singer elly jackson reminds me of the actress tilda swinton! do i have to tell you that i love tilda swinton? :P

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...
