Projekt Tanzfestival: "638kg Tanz"

I really needed that Paris trip to take one last breath before the final preparations of that amazing contemporary dance festival in Essen (remember Essen? That cool city was "Kulturhauptstadt 2010" eng. Cultural Capital of Europe in 2010).

By chance I got the position of an assistant in that festival "638 Kilo Tanz und weitere Delikatessen", which is presented by the amazing choreographers Sabina Stücker and Jelena Ivanovic for the seventh time in a row.

It was the first time for me to look behind the preparations of festival organization - and it was simply amazing on how many things you work.

The festival will take place in Essen from 7.11-10.11.2013 in three different locations. If you are in the neighborhood and interested in experimental, contemporary dance - make sure to come by!

It started on Monday: 4/11

Indeed, I met women of presence. Stayed with their usual sangfroid and guided the preparations with compulsion, whether it was about light, music and sound or the artistic performance atmosphere.

Feeling and breathing the performances of contemporary dance today, resembled what is an emanation of its time and place. The controversy we face in this age illuminated in flesh and bone. Quite sophisticated, don’t you think?

Projekt P: #3 day

The last day started brightly, sunny and with a welcoming blue sky. Checking out after a rather French than continental breakfast I discovered the cemetery "père lanchaise". 

Later I would notice the graves of e.g. Jim Morris and Oscar Wilde. Still - a beautiful, marked by time and the passed periods cemetery with giant "sépultures" and almost withered stones. 

It was a great place to enjoy sun and silence before I met my French friend Alexandre at the Bastille for a coffee before I headed back home. I was told, that this is quite a student hotspot for evening activities and vintage clothes. Next time I want to spend more time over there!

I choose definitely train or airplane for my next visit. The traffic jams near the Belgium boarder made me crazy..

Anyway looking forward for my next Paris trip. Hopefully soon.

XX from Bochum,

Projekt P: #2 day

It started as it ended the day before. My Benetton coat is still not fully dry yet but with my wanderlust packed in mind, the first real day in Paris began. 

One highlight was the sudden musical performance of four kitchen cooks and waiters in the "parc du Luxembourg". 

Enjoying some quick lunch on a bench, people started crowding around that little, green metal pavilion in which instrumental brass music was performed. 

Another highlight and recommendation for good modern cuisine was Tholoze in Monmatre. An enormous choice of wine and delicious, regional meals are for you waiting. 

Check that out next time you are in Paris!

Hey everybody - what does your weather look like ?



Fall finally made his entrance and I kissed my light, summer clothes good bye for the upcoming time. I can't remember when I wore my jeans the last time...





But - lucky me - my Barbara Bui boots from last, last FW collection fit perfectly fine into this season color's code.... look at this color:

Colour me ORANGE

Colour me ORANGE

Color me GREEN

Oh my lord. That was so much fun. I simple adore colours. And above all, I adore green.

Though truth is, I kinda felt like Green Lantern, one of the several comic action heroes of DC Comics. He was definitely not my favourite one in childhood days. 

My heart beat other than well-known DC Comics hero Batman, for Marvel Comics, "Silver Surfer" (kind of an Anti-Hero tough) and "Iron Man". 




It surprisingly made me pretty happy seeing my favorite childhood heroes on screen nowadays.

See below for the color flash!

What shall I do?

Sometimes I hate choice.

Choice is not only about freedom. 
But choice is as well about making a decision.
About sticking to something you decided for your future, for a part of you and your surrounding you don't know yet. 

It can be banal things, like this post aim: what kind of Outfit do I choose to welcome my boyfriend here in.

And in the end, the accumulation of all these choices we made, the choices we regretted, the choices we did not make - all of them makes who we are, who we were and sets the frame of who we are going to be.

Tough, isn't it?

Winter-Spring-Gap part 1

Oh spring, why do you take so long?

With temperatures around 6 degrees, snowy rain or rainy snow - however one may call that - I decided to be covered in the warmest clothes I have here (one of the simplest as well):


Boyfriend coat (thanks to my best friend who forgot that at my apartment)
Grey loop Scarf (self-knitted, handmade)
Black knit beanie from Bonaparte
Boss Orange blue/white/black checked long shirt
Black MOP Skirt
Buffalo Suede Wedges
Mango Necklace


Still... I am in Tokyo which is why I decided for heating tights to wear pumps with that.
