summer strolling

last week, cologne got wild during the c/o pop festival (more about that to come soon). although this year, the festival took place in june instead of august, the weather was a knock-out. it was sweaty fun. here are some outfits i wore.

you might already have noticed: we have a huge crush on hbo's show true blood. however, we are not alone with our admiration and love for the wonderful, naive and very hot waitress sookie stackhouse. his shizzleness snoop dogg has been more than open about his passion for true blood. last october, he even said he wanted to be on the show as a vampire. now he wrote this song to tell us whom he really wants: sookie stackhouse. and, well: tara thornton.

in a completely sick way i always liked kylie minouge. however, her new song "all the lovers" is totally boring. thank god for the scissor sisters who cover kylie's new single. the american band and the pop princess mixed together make my queer brain jump with joy. the scissor sisters do the song in a country way. it reminds me of dolly parton, goddess of camp.

for his spring/summer 2011 collection, the german-turkish designer umit benan made clothes that look like they would fit in perfectly at some turkish bazar. umit benan was born in stuttgart, germany and moved to istanbul when he was two years old. the name of his collection is "home sweet home" and it's of course a hommage to the turkish way of life.

Loose and comfortable, but with elements of elegance, Umit Benan have adjusted a national sartorial heritage to the rest of the world – dazed digital

i really have a major crush on his clothes. turkish-inspired fashion never looked that cool.
fashion can be a part of understanding different cultures and make us accept other ways of living. i don't know whether umit benan really tried to make integration a subject of discussion or not. in the end, the turkish-german designer makes fabulous and thrilling clothes. via

i am kele

i am kele

yes, it's no big news. bloc party's singer (or: ex-singer?) kele okereke has his first solo record out. it's called "the boxer" and shows a surprising mixture of more or less bloc-party-like songs and experimental electro tracks - even if kele's voice still has its very characteristical timbre. as the music moves away from the old sound, so does kele's look: he's now wearing baggy pants and basketball shirts combined with corn rows.

tenderoni is the first single and strongly reminds me of 90's-dance - in a good way.

kele's crush on electronic music can also be seen on his blog. this song is called "on the lam." it's my favorite because of the keyboards. unfortunately only available in a live version:

the most surprising thing about "the boxer" is that even kele himself does not know if his record is a side project or more - i. e. if bloc party still exists or not. "we decided to have a year off", he said in an interview, "and when we meet again at the end of the year we will have to figure out if we're on the same page or not." even if they decided to split up - we should not be too sad about it because kele shows he can make really good, rather experimental, surprising and dance-able records on his own.

five reasons why you need to watch true blood, of course there are plenty others.
the hbo tv show has a really high standard, especially when it comes to story-telling. it has the best cliffhangers ever, the hottest cast ever and is absolutely addictive.

pam. witty. sarcastic. lesbian.

jessica. naive. repressed. lovable.

lafayette. flamboyant. eye shadow. sassy.

sookie. waitress. simple. telepath.

eric. fuckable. cold. sherrif of area 5.

bite us!

bite us!

we can't wait any longer. we need our true blood. we need our vilfs. we need bon temps. we need more of eric northman. we are desperate. for us the hbo show is like a drug. it's a religion and entertainment at its best. june 13, come and deliver us from sin.

caribou

caribou

what can i say, caribou is really a sensation. the canadian electronic musician made an amazing second album, called "swim". it's a masterpiece. it's fresh, innovative and thus, totally hyped. well deserved, because in my opinion, daniel snaith (the man behind caribou) made one of the best albums of 2010, so far. "swim" tastes like summer and mint ice cream.

director rainer werner fassbinder is a genius. you can't argue with that. however, his last movie "querelle" split his fanbase. it's pure kitsch, pure beauty and pure porn. "querelle" is a classic and you need to see it, at least twice.

apparently there are 90 types of bitches. if you're honest with yourself you're one of them. of course it’s possible to be multiple types of bitch at once. i'm a combination of 12+15+21+24+34 and 59. the legend says that this explosive piece of poetry was found at a charter school in washington, d.c., on the floor of a 3rd grade classroom. not sure if i can believe that. unfortunately there is a page missing and therefore 16 types of bitches are lacking.
however, mr. colby keller, foxy pornstar, cute artist and a bitch, recites in a video this famous list.
