About Me

Niente d'interessante......

Ostern ist zwar schön vorbei, aber die beiden Bilderfunktionieren möglicherweise auch als Identittsentwürfe. Was warst du lieber: Hase oder Pacman?
ho un predelizione per rossetto rossissimo....
Feel free to rant in this box here. I need inspiration for my writing.

Omnia apud me ars fiunt.
Bad day, great hair
Basically what you see is not what you get. Other people work harder than I do to keep the wheels of fashion turning.
In fact, I can't remember what 'work' is, since I never had to do the finger down the throat thing,
although granted, I am sure that's tough. Really.
If I had to watch what I ate I'd switch profession.
If you pay attention backstage at a show/shoot, all the models look really glum. Terminably bored. There are the odd chipper American girls who are 14 and really excited and half falling over themselves, but for the most part models are underfed and way underpaid. Especially the eastern european girls. They look like they are ready to start a coup to overthrow the government. They probably would, if it meant a cover. I can see it now, Lithuanians storming Condé Nast. NOOO, We want cor-verr, plehlse. I hearve only one week learft on viza. I go to Latvia, not famous. Where I come from we hearve only 2 thing, bucket and cellphone. PLEHSE! Okay, then I cut you. Take theeaaht beetch.
Still, there are worse things to do with your time. This myspace lark, for instance....
C'era una volta.....tanti anni fa, una ragazza aveva capelli splendidi,
ma ci metteva cinque'ore per farli belli...
Cirque de la Mode
I just love doing shows at 2am.

I look scary. BOO!
Job Description: Walk down, turn, walk back, change very quickly, repeat....

My Interests

Bananaramadan is my favourite time of year. Devout followers all get together and listen to only eighties music for an entire month.

Art DJ Valentin

Possibly my favourite painting, Magritte's Empire of light, it's at the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice..... I was reminded of Magritte when I saw this, by Kris Baum

I'm really into Oksana Badrak right now. I like to call her style digital surrealism....how art-wank, I know.

Or how about...

...binary anime?

Banksy is my (anti)hero.
I have an art collective that I am very proud of.

I'd like to meet:

The Feebles
James Spader.

Music:

I like to move it, move it.
(with the) North Shore Pony Club.
I know too many bands/djs and will not play favourites by listing only a few, however that Tony McGuinness , he's clever, he is.
I adore Astor Piazzola, especially that played by Gidon Kremer. I have a life-long love of most genres of electronica but lately I've been indulging my love of show tunes and listening to Miles Davis at his most pensive.

In my head
at the moment: Stevie Wonder.

Movies:

Death in Venice, Amarcord, Zoolander
Travolti da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto (vabbé, mi piace solo il titolo....)
Bladerunner

Television:

I do wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence. There's a knob called "brightness," but that doesn't work.

Books:

A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, Marcel Proust
Orlando Furioso, Ludovico Ariosto
Il libro del Cortiere, Baldesar Castiglione
If On a Winter's Night a Traveller, Italo Calvino
Where the Wild Things Are, Maurice Sendak
The Arabian Nights

Heroes:

Tacitus, Torquato Tasso, Michelangelo Merisi, Marie Curie, Aleister Crowley
Philosophy Yeah, nah....

Ye Olde Engrish....  This is so very wrong. I could espouse the reasons why at length, but I will just laugh and share it with you, if only to get me out of the Seicento where I have...

A Canny Museum and a Hurricane

The Ngatea Water Gardens are a Vintage Machinery-loving Ornithologist's wet dream (excuse the pun). Whilst water wheels and Shishi-Odoshi are not at all uncommon in gardens, I can't say I've ever s...

Insomnia

When I was very, very little I used to stay up to watch the sunrise and then go off to school. Sometimes I'd be tired by afternoon but more often than not I could do it again. I had more time to read ...

Everybody was kung-fu fightin'....

No, not really. It wasn't like that at all. Time has come for me to set the record straight. No, I was not in a brawl. No, I was not hospitalised. I am referring to a minor incident that hap...

Dubai and the triumph of fake vs. real

Dubai is hot. It's so hot that even standing still and breathing is laborious. And full of cranes. And full of people that look like Denny Crane, but with a better tan and tea-towels wrapped...

Big Apples have Big Worms, but skinny sybarites might eat them anyway......

Deus mos iuguolo mihi pro stilus is! I just received this, though not new, it's funny enough to brighten my overcast morning. I don't normally pass on pearly gate jokes, as they are totally lame, wit...

memoirs of a maiko
