First outdoor photos 2012

Hello everyone,

this is not my first outdoor shooting (you will see photos of that later on -we shot at the harbor of Düsseldorf), but the first outdoor photos I can show you.

At first we shot at an abandoned butcher and later in a park in Aachen because it was a sunny day.


The hat in Pic 1 is by Frollein von Sofa and the flower in my hair on the second picture is actually a real one (in oposite to my hair which is my red clip in extensions. I need to cut my real hair again though because it is getting so long it won´t hold curls anymore. it´s about the same lenght of my extensions, minus the curls. blaaaaahhhh). We made pictures with orchids in my hair as well, but well.... I will post those later. Photos were taken by Abramis Photo

Happy Easter,
Sari

A beautifull photo and a serious topic: Fans.

Hello everyone,

let´s start with the photo for those that don´t like serious topics :-)

Acessoires by AbARTig












Serious Topic: Today I had to block someone off Facebook who repeatedly send me offending messages. One time, ok, that can be a misunderstanding. Several times? No. What did I take offense off? Wether I just have a fan page so I can feel important or just to share my love for myself? (There was more, but this was the core message). If that would have been the first offense from this person I just would have ignored it, but it was just the bottom of a long line. Iam a very patient person.

So today I write about a topic VERY close to my heart. Fans. 

It is my own surprise that I have people that like and follow what I do. Seriously. I was never a pretty or popular girl in my teenage years, so from the beginning of my modelling this was something extremely strange to me. I just thought I´d do it for fun and would go completely unnoticed like most girls that do a bit of hobby modelling. I never considered myself better or prettier or whatever than any of the other hobby models. I do what I enjoy, what I find artistically and visually challenging and pleasing. This is pretty much it.

I was more familiar with beeing a fan, than having something like that myself. Happily my own idols were more than great to me, so one can say I observed and learned from the kindest, most patient and sweetest  people on this planet. Later on I saw very bad examples, too and I learned from it as well.

So there I was, a young twenty-something making her first steps into modelling and suddenly I found myself having fans. "Damn, what am I to do now???" I thought to myself. What sort of person do I want to be for them? My own idols (and friends) came to my mind. My first resolution was that I do not want to be some distant far off person to them. So I started to blog. And I started having a myspace account (which I don´t use anymore). And some years back I started to use Facebook, made a fan page there and made a twitter account (actually only to read the tweets of Dita von Teese and Amanda Palmer. oh well :-D) so whoever is interested in what I do, what I like and whatever can access to me, can contact me, can please take a seat and feel right home.

If I would not model I probably would not have a Facebook account, a twitter account and Iam not sure whether I would blog - however blogging is the most likely thing I would do cause I love writing. I do what I do mostly for those that are interested in what I do, to keep up with those that Iam interested in, whether it is by bounds of friendship, the wish to work with them some time or something else. I made a fan page because I figured some people would rather read about my modelling, not how many cappuchinos I drank that day which makes sense, huh? ;-) Not because I think Iam that great and notorious. Cause no, Iam not that great and notorious.

What do my fans mean to me? The World! Cause I never thought I´d have any! My strength. Because they make me go on when I think about quitting. My true love. Because they are awesome and beautifull.

I know some models sadly get more hate via Facebook and by mail and possibly think I shouldn´t take something like this so seriously. Among the people that like you there will allways be an occassionally odd one, but this hit me on my most sensitive spot. Iam not sensitive when someone attacks me for my looks and I can take criticism for whatever, but when someone attacks me about the thing that really matters MY FANS Iam not taking the piss for that! Especially not from someone that never even met me. And I tried to be kind to her because she pretended to be a fan!

The Ukulele arrived!!!

Hello everyone,

it took almost 2 weeks, but my Ukulele arrived! After some first difficulties ("I think you have to hold it in the other hand!") and so far fruitless atempts of playing "Frere Jaques" which is recommended as the first song to learn on many websites, I figured I make a quick photoshooting with my self timer because I got a lovely blue 50s laundry box the same day and it all goes nicely with my walls!



 And while I was at it I figured I take some "naughty" ones. Well, naughty for me anyway. Those nudies are so implied, you can barely call them nudies!

As it got dark outside the second picture didn´t turn out, but because of the unsharpness due to slight movement it looks like Iam rocking hard, so let´s just pretend I intended it to be this way and it is art...


Trivia... Last week I reposted an oooold photo from one of my self timer shootings and ended up having like 130 Likes on my own site and one that shared it. If you don´t follow me on Facebook and now wonder what marvelos photo this must be.... It´s actually just my butt :-D Go figure!

Must go practice my ukulele now....

Strip Poker with Miss Mel (you can find more of her own modelling photos here: http://www.model-kartei.de/sedcard/modell/121437/) You can tell that we prepared for this game with additional pairs of undies and bras :-D

Thank god I allways have some Besamé cosmetic articles in my kit. I like that brand and their things are allways welcome acessoires, too.

My beloved pink nylon stockings!

Swingtime!

Things so beautifull that I want to buy them, marry them and get their babies Part 1

Hello everyone,

all the shops release their spring things now and OH MY GOD! It is too many beautifull things to bear!!! So I will do a little blog series. I can´t buy it all. Actually I can´t buy anything right now. I´m budgetting and my monthly budget already went over board for...









the Harlow Set AND Laura Top






I would need 10 months worth of budget for the following things and wouldn´t be allowed to buy anything else, however here they are. OLD faves and NEW ones by www.whatkatiedid.com

NEW:

Oh Morticia corset! I love you in any variation there can be. Your nipped in waist would look so, so, SO fantastic on me. Someday I will own you. Yes I swear. If I happen to become rich and famous I will even take one of each. You´d be so pretty as outerwear or under any dress with a defined waist. We´d wiggle down the street together and everyone would know: We are destined to be together!



French Knickers and strapless Glamour Bra. French Knickers who wouldn´t want to lounge around in those? Quiet realistic in my eyes, however the strapless Glamour Bra is a rather cruel temptress to me as it just won´t be made in my size. No 36E or 38D! I will weep my lonely tears and hope it will change some day.



Glamour Corselette Panty. I already love the original Pull on Glamour Corselette, so naturally it´s little sister is attracting me as well. If you´d ask me to decide I wouldn´t know what to do! (Probably the Pull on Corselette first, later the Panty version! After all the pull on was there first;-)

Those are just a few of the new additions, however my favourite ones. you can see all of them here:


OLD Loves that did not give in to my begging for stepping into my closet.... YET.

Total.... coldness


Hello everyone,

it is damn cold and the trains in Germany are on strike. So I thought I go by tram. Ha, ha. Three of them were CANCELLED. I was not amused. However things brightened up quickly because I found this little gem by Hans DuEngel Art in my mailbox....

And another amazing one by Der Sand, that won´t keep you cold for long :-)


And after work I decided to go shopping and found two pretty pairs of shoes at Deichmann


My day is saved in my book!

Time to play

Another one by Der Sand, boy, that man is FAST when it comes to editing!!!! Everything, exept the shoes is available on http://www.gothesque.de/


And a thought I had later that day: Love is war against yourself. But war itself is no love. Think about that one!

Just one more week working and I will have a few days off. I have no idea what I will do home alone, but it´ll be nice to sleep longer and do whatever I want all day long. John will be working so I have a complete choice on how to spend my day without taking anyone else into consideration :-) And this Friday I go to Cologne to see the Petit Four Burlesque Show. It´ll be a blast!

Between Saloon and chicken soup

Hi everyone,

it was very very exiting to be part of an actual music video shooting. That´s very very different than an tv interview for sure. I´m playing a waitress in a saloon where the brothers Brad and Chazz are about to perform. And I have a short speaking role. And as I´m only used to pose for photos I needed a few minutes to switch into a "less posing" mode in the beginning. But once the first scene was done it wasn´t a problem anymore.

So what´s that like? Well, I assumed that filming a scene takes a little longer than I might think. I did not consider that a scene has to be filmed from different views as well to make it more interesting. That´s why it took several hours to film a sequence that will be like 10 seconds long :-D And that was just the intro before the actual song began... We filmed until about 2 in the morning.

It was a very nice team and I was glad to meet again some of the girls that I already met and liked at the casting and some made photos so I guess there´ll be some behind the scenes photos that I´ll possibly share with you :-) The video is due to release in a month or so, so get ready for the cheesiest country music video you ever saw - and Iam just quoting the producers. ;-)

The downside is that while I was already having a cold it got remarkedly WORSE as I was not a good girl and stayed in bed all day. I just wanted to do this video so really really bad! So now I´m really miserable laying in my bed all day acompanied by chicken soup and a sexy nurse :-D

Here´s a little inofficial making off video that I did. It is scary how well "The Man with the Harmonica" goes with it :D



The music video itself is in post-production now and it´ll take a few weeks till it is done! :-)

Sexkitten

Hi everyone,

here´s the last photo from my session with Hans DuEngel. He really outdid himself adding this damn cute kitten wallpaper! This gives the expression "sexkitten" a whole new meaning. In fact I like the photo so much, that I put in on my website frontpage straight away... I guess that´ll puzzle my future website visitors a bit, but I feel it just fits in :-D


Oh and note how "trendy" Iam using the underwear as outerwear-trend ;-)
