christa peters' swinging sixties

christa peters was one of germany's best (fashion) photographers of the sixties, but sadly, she was almost forgotten. that is, until some executor of a fashion company found a huge collection of her pictures. here are some of them. to see more, click here.

there was disco

yes, i have a thing for trash!
and i'm not ashamed of it. and you may not know this, but the italians invented trash. no wonder i feel so connected. after all it's my culture. so, to get you in the perfect mood i've found some hidden treasures.

i can't help it

i'm still stuck in the 80s.
i like oversized shirts, flowy materials, leather jackets,
flood-watch trousers and transparency. i'm also thinking about shoulder pads.

i guess tina is right



You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract

It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that

[Chorus]
Oh whats love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If i tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be

There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me

[Chorus]

I've been taking on a new direction
But i have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

kiss & tell

i have the urge to kiss.
i love the soft touch of another's lips, especially in this magic and perfect moment. actually we all should lip-lock more often. it feels warm, soft and exciting at the same time, but of course you all know that. i love all those mixed feelings. it's chemistry.
maybe it's the sun, but i really want to kiss soft lips right now.

fashion is back on tv!, part 2

apart from the glorious return of project runway, there is another little show to consider when you're fashion obsessed and a fan of entertaining tv: 'the rachel zoe project'. surprisingly, we really loved the first season, so we are happy that season two starts tonight. to get you in the mood (or: to convince you to watch), i give you a selection of brad's best outfits. in season one, he joined rachel's team as her assistant and is now an integral part of 'team zoe'. oh, and he is cute as hell. enjoy!

fashion is back on tv!

they made it work! co-blogger and i barely survived on a diet of project runway canada and project runway australia (season two is currently airing!), but we are thrilled that the real deal is finally back! it's project runway's sixth season! to kick things off, lifetime aired an 'allstar special'.

after that, we got to enjoy the first episode and the new show 'models of the runway'. hooray for summer tv.

love boat

my dear friend f. and i did a 2 hours "kaffeefahrt" on a boat. hilarious, especially when you wear a slim jean and a tie-dye tank-top.

sunday

if you want to make me happy invite me to a picnic. of course you need to be shirtless and wear suspenders. we would also go boating and i would maybe wear a flower in my hair. oh that's such a nice idea!
