Wochenende und Sonnenschein

It is weekend and thanks to the lovely Tanja at IP Interactive I already got a copy of RTL Punkt 12 (she is obviously a ex co-worker of mine, living in my naighborhood and sometimes we even take the same train - however we didn´t got to know until 2 days ago). Usually it takes weeks to get a copy so I guess it´s destiny that we live practically next to each other and met through this :-)

Es ist Wochenede und dank der Tanja einer wunderbaren Mitarbeiterin von IP Interactive habe ich jetzt schon eine Kopie von RTL Punkt 12 (streng genommen ist sie eine Ex-Arbeitskollegin die in meiner NAchbarschaft wohnt und manchmal fahren wir morgens mit demselben Zug - nichtsdestotrotz kannten wir einander bis vor 2 Tagen garnicht). Ich hab gehört normalerweise dauert es Wochen bis man eine Kopie bekommt, also nehm ich an es ist Schicksal das wir praktisch nebeneinander wohnen uns uns auf diese Weise getroffen haben :-)


So today I was shooting for a national campaign that will get public in October... And it´s a damn cool one. Tons of nice photos and all... And the guys of Black Raven are in the boat, too I heard :-) http://www.blackraven.de/
Next weekend  I´ll be travelling to Switzerland to shoot for Zoe Scarletts Animal Rescue Calendar.

Heute habe ich für eine deutschlandweite Kampagne geshootet die im Oktober veröffentlicht wird. Und es ist eine verdammt coole mit vielen schönen Fotos. Und ich hab gehört die Herren von Black Raven sind auch dabei :-)  http://www.blackraven.de/
Nächstes Wochenende fahre ich in die Schweiz um für Zoe Scarletts Tier-Kalender zu shooten.

The weekend

Hi everyone!

My latest info is that the docu about me and the pin up course wil be released somewhen between next Wednesday and the coming week. For all those that won´t be able to catch it: I try to record it with one of those modern Online-Recorder thingies and I hope I can cut the two hours of the programm so I can put our part up on youtube very quick ;-) Since I´m working and so are unable to watch RTL Punkt 12 at lunch-time I hope my Mom will tell me when she did some Sari-spotting as she follows that programm anyway,

The weekend: As I mentioned I went to a concert with my friend Anni. Finaly a concert in my town so I was able to pick up the connection to the loaction easily and we got there in time for Soundcheck. Actually we were earlier than the band, but that´s no news for us ;-)

So who have we been visiting anyway? Does anyone remember the song "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex that was a huuuge worldwide hit in the 90s? If you do, you either love of hate it. I know Mary Joe, that´s the pretty blonde lady singing it, since 1996 when me and Anni were taking care of her fanclub. Since that time we allways get free access to concerts, tv-shows, festivals and backstage-areas they are playing at. Yay! They´ve been doing a lot of stuff in Sweden, Romania and all over the world lately so we didn´t see for a while now, but it´s allways nice to meet and talk about the good ol´times. Plus both Anni and Mary Joe are mothers now so the kids can play together in the spare-time. You can bet we never dreamt of bringing our kids to Rednex-concerts when we were admiring teenage-girls. I´m actually waiting for the group-pic we did with Annis camera and maybe I´ll post it if we don´t look too horrid. It was shot at about 1 in the morning so I can´t garanty for anything... I hope it won´t take another year to see again.

So how did it go?

I´m sure you wonder how it was with the tv-team ;-)

It started off at my home with tons of lightning (and that was damn hot). Now what looks natural and normal in the video has to be repeated many many times. Plus: Never stare in the camera. Which was the hardest part for me. However I worked with a very nice team eventhough they were very strict with what to do so it was ok :-)

Waaaay later than planned we arrived at the workshop and they off course filmed preparations, the girls during shooting, me styling them etc. And than came the big surprise for the girls: We went outdoor with our outfits to snap some pics there - in a shopping street while the tv-team caught impressions ot the people around which went from "Freaks" to "oh I remember that´s how people walked around after war" and "they look fab, but I wouldn´t dare to walk around like that".

After 10,5 hours of massive filming and styling I fell into my bed and in a deep sleep shortly...

Thanks to the amazing and talented ladies, off course to Jean for taking fab pics, our wonderfull sponsors providing us with make up, t-shirts, stockings and vouchers and our strict but very nice TV-team taking care of us! You all were great!

The report will be broadcasted in 10-12 days as a part of RTL Punkt 12. Try to catch it if you can (And can someone please record it for little me??? It takes a few weeks until the tv-channel can make a copy for us!!!)
