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

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems.  our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

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 ...
