Sleep cheap hostel Berlin S-Bahn Westend

No guarentee on this one! 
It looks pretty good if you consider the prices.
Just 2 minuts from the SBahn stopp Westend. Which might seem far out but is actually not because with the Ringbahn you can reach pretty much any part of Berlin – so if you are on a budget you might wanna check it out! Sleepcheaphostel.com

Bye Bye Snowwoman

Backstage at Becks Fashion Experience

After the Becks show – on the way to the bathroom – we had a little look into the Models area and had some green healthy soup with some of the models and of course champagne ;) Eating that soup made me not wanna be a model thinking about having to eat this all the time. The soup was nice no doubt about that but always?

Fashion Week Bag

If you ever wonder what is in those bags these Fashion People carry around … have close look. Actually Peek & Cloppenburg had the best things a Moleskin notebook and a little roller to get these things away from your black dress other than that … well … it`s a nice bag for girls ;) 

 

Lac et Mel Bag

You gotta love the towel!

Behind the scenes.

 

Asia. Finally. We did a shooting for BERLIN LOVES YOU in HONG KONG. On january first we had the chance to take Violet the model Harry C and his assistant + Crew through Hong Kong and take a great couple of shots. Harry C is one of the upcoming chinese photographers who – amongst Berlin Loves You shoots for interntaional brands or international celebrities like Kate Moss and lots of Asian celebrities. Harry, thanks again for your time and the great pictures – which will be published on the Berlin Loves You Webpage in a bit. Hong Kong is a crazy city and I loved being there and doing a shoot for Berlin Loves You. 

Dinner "Rice in a Pot" after the shoot with the crew.

“Der Himmel muss warten” Photo Exhibition in Kreuzberg

Yesterday  we went to the opening of “Heaven must wait”. The exhibition shows result of a documentary of Berlin performance art subculture. And subculture it was! The audience went from punks to young and old people. Dogs with jackets and I am not really sure if I saw a cat or not. Beer and red vine out of plastic cups was served. Smoking only outside. When an opening is good you can`t see it from the outside because the windows are clouded. Fridays and Saturdays are a heaven for art lovers in Berlin. Especially in Mitte around Aguststr. you can literally fall from one opening into  the other. This one was in Kreuzberg and very interesting because it had this nice but also bizarre performance included. 

Seeing all these characters inspired my friend Christoph to tell me about his plans to make a TV Series set in Berlin including many different characters whos lifes change in one drastic moment. More to come once he has the rights secured ;) 

Anyways, go and check these things out even if you think that it might not be your cup of tea – it might very well be your bottle of beer though! This is Berlin.

Dürüm Bockwurst?!

OK I don`t know what this is and how it tastes but I don`t think I want to try it! It`s german food/ culture literally clashing with turkish food/ culture. Just imagine these two mixed. Bon Appetite!
