time for champions

 

The passed weeks were so full of excitement! 

It started with the first game of our German soccer team in Brazil. 

I baked this 10 inch high chocolate-marzipan-cake, what a yummy monster. 

Then it was time for the Geschwister Pfister and their 50s-based drag show. 

The aftershow party happend in a gay bar which looked very much like my own home.

Three days later, my beloved Dolly Parton was in town!

 I was so happy that I got one of the rare tickets as a christmas present and I was very excited to see her live.

dress: years ago from a professional dancer's shop

cowboy boots: Buffalo

handbag: 50s vintage, my grannies

Dolly sang all her great emotional songs and I cried a river. Let´s say two. 

And afterwards - great time with drags again. I especially loved their hair and boobs, but Dolly's were bigger. 

Larger then life!

Next on the scedule: Berlin fashion week and the Vintage circus. 

Just another wandrobe experience and I went there to buy... nothing. 

Read the hole story about it in her great blog.

Isn´t she beautiful?

I wore:

dress: 60 vintage, vintage shop

headpiece: 50s vintage, ebay

bag: 50s vintage, vintage shop

But we made the best out of it and I even got the perfect Pin-up body for a minute:

And how this exciting time ended? I think everyone out there already knows.

I put my patriotic eye make up with soccer lashes on and...

We won! World champion feeling all over!

pictoplasma

Because of the nasty weather we had on sunday we decided to visit the Pictoplasma exhibition in the great Jahn Kaufhaus. I loved all the sweet or spooky little creatures there and wished they could be my pets. Especially the one above.

 

dress: 60s vintage, vintageshop Madrid

velvet hairbow: DIY

plastic jewelery: 60s vintage, fleamarkets

tights: present from my mom

bag: 60s vintage, fleamarket

 The color of the walls fitted my outfit so well - blue on blue with blue. 

Have a closer look at the fabric of the dress, I really like the watercolour design.

The Jahn Kaufhaus is an old empty lost building which was re-opened just for that one event. 

We loved the architecture and the light installation.

 There are even installations to interact with. 

So go and check it out, when you love comics and digital cuteness and you are in Berlin right now.

 Leave you with some impressions:

 

 

 

all things yellow

 

Today my favourite month started and my beloved alley is so beautiful right now, with sunny islands full of daffodils. That inspired me to wear more yellow - what an incredible colour! All things yellow make me happy.

Of course I visited the fleamarket today - it´s a tradition - and wore the yellow skirt again. 

I found this sweet 50s wall mask. I fell in love immediatly because it has my signature hairstyle.

bag: hookahey, present from a friend

sunglasses: six

daisy set: 60s vintage, ebay

plastic pearls and bangle: 50s vintage, ebay

 But what else I found? 

Vintage lilies and bamboo... so 50s and it´s even Coro signed!

Do you like it? 

Hope you all had a great holiday!

bittersweet symphony

 

 
The year started with a concert of honeys band and it nearly ended with one. In January I was so weak because of a massive mononucleosis infection that I could just sit in a corner for a while, but this time it was such a blast: I did a Glam Rock make up for the boys, danced my ass off and chanted loud and proud with the audience. But I had some silent moments too, thinking of this bittersweet year.

I have fighted daily with the aftereffects from the infection and found some great alternative medicine for it, lost very old friends and discovered new ones, lost my photo-project and started a new art-venture and drawing lessons, lost my job and found a new one... the big lessons I have learned is: health is the most important and everything can change in a blink of an eye, so better LIVE FOR THE MOMENT!


So I did last night. Honey made some pictures in the backstage room early in the morning:

crepe de chine blouse: 40s vintage, fleamarket find

Square dance skirt: Partners Please by Malco Modes 

(worn without the matching petticoat), 60s vintage, etsy

leopard boots: Miss L fire

pink lipstick and nail polish: YSL

Have a closer look to the sweet 50s jewelery set, found on ebay.com 

and I really love the lace bordered collar of the sheer blouse...

Enjoy the Advent season with your loved ones!

a head of roses

    

This week was full of excitement: the concert of Eddie Spagetti, followed by the B52´s.  

What a great fun, I was dancing all night long! 

I had to wear a propper 60s outfit, with a beehive, graphic eye make up and plastic jewelery.

The other night, I teamed my LBD with my hair ribbon full of roses for a late summer evening out.

While another, more formal birthday party was on the list, it was time for the first appearance of my Californian rose. I wore no other jewels or fancy make up, because this darling stands on its own. It is a real pink 1940s silk rose for the hair with two cute soft velvet leaves. I always dreamed of buying authentic hair flowers and my dream came true in Moro Bay. I have to show you all about that incredible shop I found in my next blogpost...

dazzeling heaven

 

Months ago, I bought this 60s style summer dress on ebay.uk with nice shades of blue and turquoise. 

On our roadtrip trough California, honey made me a special present: the matching 

40s blue galalith swirl bangle and 60s lily shaped enamel clip ons.

I love their brightness and the wonderful memories they bring, because the place we found them was very special: the DAZZLES in Palm Springs. OMG, when I entered the shop - I felt like in heaven! A shop full of handpicked mid-century jewelery, masks, chalkware, glassware... an unbelieveble collection! But see by yourself:

 

 

 I still dream of the great spagetti poodles, I have to go back one day...

make sure to visit this place, when you are in Palm Springs.

the absence of elegance

 

Timeout. 

I take my time to read and enjoy the garden. Currently I'm reading the book you see above. 

I learned from it that "comfort is the enemy of elegance". 

Okay, than I´m totaly inelegant in my trashy strech look... YEAH!

high wait capris: Deadly Dames

t shirt: souvenir from NYC 

 wedges: fleamarket

take a closer look at my wedges too: the sole has great flower details

And so much time to eat strawberries in the sun.

And for a little shopping walk I allow myself some more trashy strech...
