weekly glee # 9 2009

i'm back with a lot of pretty, beautiful and interesting things i discovered the last two weeks. sorry, for the massive overload, heh.

lately i seem to find a lot of great architectural designs and i thought i'd open up a new section: architecture & design. hope you like this :D

okay, let's begin!

1. desertions.



book desk in a hospital /piano in pioneer camp

# old houses in the uk by zafania - i swear, the united kingdom must have the most romantic and beautiful little cottages in the whole wide world. this series is about houses which have been shops in former times. i could easily imagine these as some art studio-like complex with flats on the upper floors! i'd move in there immediately :P
# abandoned manor of a merchant by alexdoomer2009 - okay, i admit it, i love alexdoomer2009's excursions to russian abandonments. i'm secretly in love with russia, did you know that? this manor is beyond awesome! & click onto more castles here & here. he also shot an abandoned glass, very edgy!
# abandoned pioneer camp by iso_27002 - another russian themed set! i love the many details of these pictures, the fallen leaves, the crumbling paint. i'm also very smitten with another set from this photographer: the abandoned hospital.
# highgate cemetary by moscowlondon - many ol' graves of long gone celebrities ( karl marx, hello! )
# bobcat high 1949 - 2009 by thehoodwatch - a very interesting insight of a school abandoned very recently. thehoodwatch is pretty much the raddest photographer ever! he finds ways into old and lost building you would never imagine! take a look at megatron power for example!

2. photogenius.



milla jovovich / at the lake

# caroline trentini, heather marks, jennifer pugh, lisa cant by paolo roversi for vogue italia 2005 - paolo roversi is the only photographer who always amazes me with his pictures! his work is so moody and full of secrets and hidden details and just really fantastic. i have never NOT liked a photo set by him, he's an outstanding photographer. this set is another hommage to old times, which he seems to like quite a lot. parisian chic from renaissance/baroque times! here's one of his newest sets found on haute macabre! i'm craving for the bigger scans!
# an unpleasant wedding night by liselotte eriksson - this is by far one of my favourite recent photography set! it's disturbing and beautiful at the same time! liselotte eriksson is a very talented artist, doing exceptional photographs & drawings with so much creativity!
# milla jovovich by igor vishnyakov for harper's bazaar russia 2009 - for me, milla jovovich is the epitome of a russian woman and her beauty is not from this world. i always loved her striking eyes, so intense! in this shot she wears a fair amount of clothes all extraordinaire and she wears them well!

3. architecture & design.


vulcanized fibre stool / brickstoned house

# hechima 5 by ryuji nakamura - this sitting construct would do good for picknicks and evenings outside. but i'd also very much like it in my living room instead of the gym ball i have as supporting help for my little diseased rump.
# the mews house by TAKA architects - i love the brickwork on this house, it's literally outstanding! i guess this is one of the most natural appearing houses i've seen lately, i'm in love with the interiors ( wooden floors, brickstone walls, huge windows and doors ). well. all i can say is that this is my recent dream house!
# deco sofa by autoban - this sofa looks so comfortable! it also looks like you can divide it into a chair, which is really cool!

4. diversity.


tom felton.
i'm sorry to appear as a fangirl, but oh em gee, is that guy hot on his latest pictures?
oh and he's a twitterer so that's why i found out about these pictures. and now i shush up about it.


panda bread for real!
this is the cutest idea ever! well, someday, i will try it out.

5. recent viewing.


gossip . heavy cross
i came onto this band via my mom, which is funny, because i always was the one who recommended music to HER. i have heard of beth ditto before, newest muse of karl lagerfeld, but i didn't care for the music until now. i find it very great that she gives a shit about her big body and wears beautiful wardrobe nonetheless. and she looks great! but that's not important here, i found her voice to be extraordinairy great and the music stays in your ears for a while! listen! goosebump feeling!


lady gaga . paparazzi
lady gaga's new song 'paparazzi' is not new for me anymore, but i still like it! especially the video! the crazy amount of eye-blowing outfits kills me almost everytime. and the best: minnie mouse'ed clothes!

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...
