I just discovered the Berlin lingerie brand Dorotea Time and instantly loved the brand based on this playful photo shoot.
Dorothee Erle is the creative mind behind the colorful delicates – and the artist behind the imaginative backdrop on the photos. I just mailed her to find out where to see the whole collection.
The model is Miss Julietta La Doll, a Berlin based burlesque performer. She can actually be seen live tonight along with other burlesque performers at La Fete Fatale. I’m tempted. Imagine the photos one could take.
I still haven’t made it to see this spectacular building in real life. For me, it’s one of those “creations” you can neither categorise as beautiful nor hideous. It’s somehow just entitled to exist.
Since April 1st and until May 15th four international artists work on the tower: Flying Förtress, Honet, Sozyone and Craig ‚KR‘ Costello. Inside the tower nine other artists exhibit and Berlin street artists will work around the tower – in the streets and subway.
I wish I could go! Love sketching but do it far too selten. Tomorrow is the 6th round of Dr Sketchy’s Anti Art School Berlin!
As White Trash describe it: Two bright stars from Berlin’s Burlesque sky will shine ever so delightfully on their little life-drawing session!

Join a Life Drawing Extravaganza with the two extraordinary models, music, drinks, a drawing competition.
March 20th from 14:30 to 17:30 p.m. (doors open at 14:00)
I was invited to the opening of MADE on Saturday. A space where creatives can come together to exchange work and ideas.
I had a bad flashback to Copenhagen nightclub NASA when we arrived: Everything was kept in white. I don’t like. I understand how a white space is like a white piece of paper – “start doodling!”. I guess that was the idea behind it? Too sterile for me.
BUT once the first artists started their performance, moving around and inbetween the audience creating interaction and involvement they won me over.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay untill the end so didn’t see the last shows. Have to stop by one of the next days. As far as I understand it’s open to the public from now on(?) Check their website for more information!
On Friday we popped in at the TOY made ONE event at UNDPLUS on our way to the concert with Florence and the Machine at Astra. Amazing voice she has btw. That Florence Welch.
If you can’t make people talk about your collection, you can make them talk about your show. Like the strategy!
Use a couple of Body Builders instead of just regular models. Have a guy guy with a sack barrow drive them onto the catwalk. Let one carry a glass box with snails. Show a bit of skin. Spice it all up with tight techno.
It worked for Patrick Mohr when he presented his jeans collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week under the title “Are we shaved?”. Rumour has it he had some even freakier things in mind but Benz wouldn’t allow it.
Rocky the Mohawk. You know him? I recognised the album cover as I stumpled upon it when surfing around for design inspiration yesterday.
Below is a summary of his interesting story. I have my information from various sites so I can’t say if it’s all true.
Gerhard Bauer (Rocky) was born in Berlin on Nov. 26. 1926. An only child in a Potzdam soldier family living in red part of Berlin, Wedding. His father was a member of the NSDAP and was shot when the Russians entered Berlin in 1945.
After WW2 Rocky worked for the French. Espionage. He was disclosed and sent to prison at “Bautzen” in South East GDR where the conditions where so bad that ten inmates or more died every day. Rocky got his first tattoos during his eight years in prison.
After prison time Rocky moved to St Pauli, Hamburg and joined a biker gang. He met Udo Lindenberg, one of Germany’s biggest rock stars, who made him part of the Panikorchester, a Sideshow-like group of freaks, that appeared with him on stage from 1975 to 1984.
Rocky died on 04.01.1987. The photos inspire me. I don’t know about you.
Udo meets Rocky: “Ich such n’ Job” (I’m looking for a job)
Well, not literally but the street has really changed in the last year or two. One gallery /showroom / concept store after another has popped up, mingling with the old kiosks, wash salons and “imbisses”.
Torstraße has definately become a go see. Whether during the day for a bit of shopping, in the late afternoon for a vernissage, in the evening for dinner or at night for a vodka/tonic at Muschi Obermaier – or really late at night for a beer at Kaffee Burger.
More details on stores, galleries, restaurants etc will follow in the near future. I mentioned vietnamese restaurant DUDU already. Speaking of which, happy birthday Nam!!
Start your route at the Schönhauser Allee intersection and walk all the way to Friedrichstraße. Or the other way of course….as you like.
The special opening also features live performances, Vj’s, Dj’s and an award show where the three winners of the Phototography Contest “Gib uns dein Wort” (Give us your word) will be announced.
