Longing for autumn in Paris

2010-07-04T09:08:00.001-07:00

saw these winklepickers in Hamburg and was head over heels at once

2009-11-08T07:20:00.000-08:00

I held them in my hands, and they are perfect in every detail

One day I'll have to get those leos, too.

I want this gorgeous everything... The scarification AND the panty. Well, I'm gonna help myself the panty via DIY. But the scars... ewww... the fact that the idea is not mine is even worse than my imagination of the pain it would probably cause. No no, stop thinking about that, mate.

This one looks wonderfully soft and unobstrusive. Running fingers across it must be soooooo delightful

haha, lovely lovely, indeed

Hair should never be longer than hip long, otherwise it will look ridiculous and inappropriate with any clothes except for film costumes.
Well, SHE made me change my opinion towards that (Maybe she is an exception. We'll see). Ruslana Korshunova, model from Kazakhstan, unfortuantely dead by suicide since June 2008.

This is a part of the H&M Fall/Winter campaign

Is this really COCO ROCHA? I wouldn't have recognized her at all.
Anyway, her hair colour is incredibly stunning. And the combination of the colour of the clothing and the hair looks GORGEOUS!
This is what appeals most to me, acutally, talking of red hair. The matching of certain colours with it, especially colours like old rose, brown, greys, olive greens and many pastels.

Btw, I definitely feel well and comfortable with my red hair, and I honestly think about keeping it for a long time. I don't care about en-vogue anyways.
The red could be more intensive and fiery, of course, but hey, who bleached her hair three times in the past and then dyed it brown? Me :/
So I'll have to be patient and grow out all the chemistry, and then I'll go for real Henna. Henna creates the brightest and most blazing yeat natural-looking shades of permanent red you can ever have, and it is so wonderfully healthy for the hair.

This is current Me

Good Lord, that's so fckn' cool!
But it would be my, let me think..., 12th (?) late spring/early autumn jacket.
And I can't afford to buy it anyways.

I could use some winter jacket/coat instead. Really warm and petrol green. But where am I to find such a thing.

I have decided to go for a red hair colour, like the one in the pic, but maybe get a little more orange into it.

I've already got pink ones, but I'd resell them for those...

Nico - Icon

2009-07-27T06:47:00.000-07:00

This morning I received the DVD "Nico - Icon" and watched it at once.

I had loved Nico before, but that documentary really touched me.

Her view of life and society and her way of dealing with people, her fear of affection, hardly being interested in anything at all, acting carelessly, feeling lost, wanting to be surrounded only by people with the same darkness in their souls,...

all these aspects are so familiar to me and made me feel so close to her, which is not an entirely good thing, I daresay.

"No-one loved Nico. And Nico loved no-one."

du sitzt mir gegenüber
und schaust an mir vorbei

und manchmal auch um drei
du bist mir mal sympathisch
und manchmal eine Qual
aber meistens egal, total egal

du sitzt mir jede Woche
'ne Stunde vis-a-vis
mit unbewegter Miene
und wackelst mit dem Knie
wer weiß wo du beschäftigt bist

mir isses egal, total egal

du bist'n Stückchen U-bahn, du bist mir scheiß egal
und bleibst du einmal weg, ich glaub ich merk's nicht mal

I found it here on nightcat's blog.
I am quite much into room design, and I usually dislike any kind of interior that makes a room appear smaller by looking too florid, but this wallpaper is just too bautiful.
The lighting effects are incredibly well arranged, creating this vivid sunshiny look.
Aww! Inspirational, inspirational.

of creating an outfit for a goth party, woohoo.
Looks rather anti.
Dressing goth has become quite difficult to me, as I hardly ever feel like it any more.

Sry for the quality. I was at a friend's and hadn't brought my camera.

Shoes: old worn out Dr. Marten's
Lace Leggings and Paris print vest: Topshop
Jacket: ? (around 7 years old I guess)
Shorts: ""
Legwarmers

I wish there were much more lace available. I'd like to wear lace bras under lace bodies under lace leggings and lace dresses and... Well, I'm too much into lace.

Btw, I'm going to travel to Paris at the end of August yeaaaah.

Yes, I DO love that Heroin Chic thing. I've loved it from the very first time I saw it on TV and in magazines back the 90's. And to me, no photographer expresses it as enthrallingly and intensively as Chadwick Tyler does. There is also even a lovely dark whiff of 20's atmosphere in his work.

This song reminds me of various bands of the Glamrock era. Could almost be part of the "Velvet Goldmine" Soundtrack.

is a lot less fun when your favourite shoes have been perforated with several huge holes due to seven years of every-day wearout. My second pair of Doc Marten's have been damaged beyond tolerance.
So I'd like to get myself a new pair. Well, that is rather a question of needing than of wanting.

There are so many new lovely colours I can hardly resist, but the good old classic black 8-eyes and me, that's a special romance which will probably last till the day I die.
Breaking them in will cause lots of pain, but one knows what for, right? :)
There is also this x-ray boyfriends jersey blazer at Topshop's.... *bites lip*

I can't help imagining these two with black or grey drainpipe jeans and a tight white longshirt and then going for a ride on the skateboard. Yeah.
Hell yes, I need that one, too.
No way out.
Haha, I know summer has not even truly arrived yet, but I can't wait for autumn to come *cheers*
I wish the world could just leave out summer and winter. I can't make any use of temperatures under 5 ° and over 15 ° C.

I received my 3 DVD Collector's Edition of "Killing Zoe" this morning.
I've already watched the interviews, featurettes and the making of (I had watched the film itself about 20 times before), and I can't say anything but that it blew me out of my mind. The members of the cast and crew are so nice and lovely and funny. I adore Roger Avary's work, and I adore the fabulous Jean-Hugues Anglade as Eric, this nihilistic insane junkie bank robber.
He leads exactly the fast and intensive kind of life I would die for. (What a pun, haha^^)

This film is a piece of art, and even the package of the dvd is so lovingly designed.
The movie is full of violence, insanity, drugs, treason and other things one should never do as a well-behaved citzen (who wants to be a well-behaved citizen, though?), but the design of the digipack is a downright declaration of love to just all of that.

These are two photographs I took of the precious treasure. I'd like to have them printed on large paper size.

Hello Darkness my old friend.... (Or: Goodbye blonde)

Before:

I feel so much better with the brown.
It gives my face a certain depth and creates a darker self to me, which somehow feels like coming home and being reborn at the same time.
I used to wear my hair all black for at least 10 years, and I can't imagine ever dyeing it black again as I am so sick of hair colours that look unnatural, but maybe I'll go for a darker shade of brown in a couple of months.

I can't believe I've really got this movie...

2009-05-29T07:48:00.001-07:00

.
This is such a gorgeous and touching film, I felt it from the very first minute.
And there is even the luxury of English subtitles. Incredible.

Having this piece of art makes me cry with gratitude. Thank you so much, Mark...

My passion for boys' shoes

I got myself these great brogues by Loake on ebay.uk, for around 10 pounds, which is a laugh!
They look all too lovely with blue or grey drainpipes (I'll show you later).
Size 6.5 fits perfectly but these shoes are a cruel misstress. I wore them on my day out in Berlin last Saturday and got some HUGE blisters on my heels, so my friend gave me a spray to soften the leather, which worked wonders. Now I own the world's most comfortable brogues :)

I think I also need a black pair of them. It seems I like them even better than winklepickers.

Yes, and because sometimes all you need in life is Velvet Underground...

I didn't like her face and hair in the past, just couldn't understand what people love about her. Sort of a pigface I thought, and she doesn't really look good with blond hair, imho.
But... yesterday I saw a reportage about her on TV, and well, now I can't help loving her look.
And, of course, I want her hair.

...

I can't wait to have my hair dyed in summer. I wonder if I'll be able to bear all the waiting. My hair is definitely not long enough.
I can't bear staying blond either.

Btw.... I will have to wait a few months longer as my hair is not long enough to look good in a different colour, but my decision is set.
I'm going to dye my hair a not too dark reddish brown as soon as possible and cut a straight fringe again.
I want it to look like that:
