And I have nothing to wear! Ich hab nichts anzuziehen!

Hello everyone,

I will be filming again in January and I need a nice dress! It´s a bit hard this time!

1. It has to be from Europe or Iam afraid it won´t reach me on time!
2. Must be a day dress. Nobody will believe that I walk around all day in a sparkly little silk number.
3. No summer dress as I could possibly freeze :-D It will be goddamn January after all!!!
4. It has to look damn good on me. It will be a  one week long mini-series in a news magazine so there will be constant flashbacks of me wearing the dress. Like 4 times a week. And possible sell like sliced bread.

So you are a designer or retailer and have a dress perfect for me? Or you have an idea were I can find something great? Get in touch for some extreme promo treatment :-)
***********************
Hallo an alle,

Ich filme im Januar wieder und brauche ein schönes Kleidchen! Diesmal ist das nicht so einfach!

1. Es sollte aus Europa kommen, damit ich es auch noch pünktlich zum drehen da habe!
2. Ich brauche ein Tageskleid. Keiner nimmt mir ab das ich den ganzen Tag in einem glitzernden Seidenkleid rummlaufe.
3. Kein Sommerkleid, sonst erfriere ich womöglich :-D Es ist ja im Januar!!!
4. Es muss an mir verdammt gut aussehen, da es sich um eine 1 wöchige Miniserie handelt, also gibt es dann ständig Flashbacks von mir in diesem Kleid. So etwa 4 Mal die Woche. Und sich möglicherweise wie geschnitten Brot verkaufen.

Ihr seid ein Designer oder ein Shop der das perfekte Kleid dafür habt? Oder ihr habt ne Idee wo ich schauen könnte? Meldet euch für eine extrem-Promo Aktion :-)

To wear nothing is not an option.......
Garnichts anzuziehen ist keine Option......

Weiberheld!

We are decorating one of our Tiki Room Walls with heads.... The Robin Hood/Errol Flynn one in the middle is sort of an insider joke and as he was a ladies man in real life, too I like to think he´d be thrilled beeing surrounded by those ladies....

Eine unserer Wände im Tiki Zimmer dekorieren wir mit Wandköpfen. Der Robin Hood/Eroll Flynn Kof in der Mitte ist eine Art Insiderwitz und da er im wahren Leben ein Weiberheld war, stelle ich mir vor, das er es toll finden würde von diesen Damen umgeben zu werden...

Do I love novelties? Liebe ich Kuriositäten?

Hello everyone,

my page views in Germany went UP to an enormous degree so at lease short postings will be bi-lingual now :-)

As you all know Iam rather a novelty myself so of course I love unusual stuff. And stuff whose existence was forgotten in the first place....

Wie alle von euch wissen bin ich selber eine ziemliche Kuriosität, also liebe ich natürlich ungewöhnliche Sachen. Und Sachen von denen wir vergessen haben, das es sie überhaupt gibt...

What is this? just a decoration piece?
Was ist das denn? Nur Deko?
A further look at the matter reveals the purpose...
Ein zweiter Blick zeigt den Zweck....
Which may looks like something stolen from an extra mad scientis is actually a mini-vase for daisies...
Was aussieht als wäre es einem besonders verrücktem Professor geklaut worden ist eigentlich eine kleine Vase für Gänseblümchen....

And what looks like made to put on a bracelet is actually....
Und was so aussieht als würde es an ein Bettelarmband gehören ist eigentlich....
...meant to be put on you cocktail glas to mark that this is yours! (and the spears... well, we still use spears for cocktails and little snacks)
....dafür da um an dein Cocktailglas gehängt zu werden damit du weisst, das es deins ist (und die dazugehörigen Spiesschen benutzt man ja immernoch für cocktails und kleine Snacks)

Here we see a bottle and a tiki-mug with a extra nice handle...
Hier sehen wir eine Flasche und einen Tiki-Becher mit extra tollem Griff!
I love the love for details!
Ich liebe die Liebe zum Detail!
Who would actually look BEHIND a vase?
Wer würde denn schon HINTER eine Vase schauen?

Iam a novelty that loves novelties!
Ich bin halt eine Kuriosität die Kuriositäten liebt!

Pulling some strings

Hello everyone,

I made a super-duper ebay bargain! String shelves!!!!!!! Altogether 12,78 € including shipping!!!!!! Those usually go for waaaaaay more. Like.... hundred
s of Euros.

A sample picture of the same one that I found on www

.lafabrika.be My boards are wider though.


The string shelf was invented in 1949 by Swedishman Nisse Strinning. He won a designer competition with it and it went into mass production in the 50s and is still sold TODAY! The design remained the same, however they expanded the colour range. There are LOADS of different ones on ebay because it was a system that you could expand with more shelves, tables, cupboards.... Endless possibilities.

My wall next to my dinner table was empty and I figured it would be great to have some shelves where I can store some of my knicknacks and stuff that I ocassionally need at the diner table such as...
...those babies!!!!

Anyway... I intend to do a homeshooting soon and than you´ll see.... :-)
