EVILYN FRANTIC Nightly Fire Performance

STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 5 - Gardens of Desire

Berlin Fashion Week, 12th of July 2014 @ Panke Club Yard, Berlin-Wedding

[English below]
Direkt nach dem Konzert von THE WINGS OF DESIRE betraten EVILYN FRANTIC und ich zu Streichen aufgelegt die Bühne, um gemeinsam Evilyns nun folgende nächtliche Feuer-Performance anzukündigen. Wir baten unser gewohnt und erfreulich mobiles Publikum, uns nach draußen in den vorderen Innenhof des Panke-Clubs zu folgen... Kurz darauf schaute mich unser DJ STEVE MORELL (bereits an den Tellern für sein erstes Set bereitstehend) etwas unsicher an und fragte, ob er trotzdem schon im Konzert- und Party-Raum beginnen - oder lieber warten solle, bis wir wieder rein kommen? Selbst etwas irritiert von seiner naheliegenden Frage sagte ich mit lachender Geste: "Nein, nein, fang auf jeden Fall schon an! Das ist STYLE! IT! TAKES! - alles passiert gleichzeitig!" (^.^) Kopfhörer auf, ein Schmunzeln - und los ging's... :-)

Natürlich folgte uns trotzdem ein Großteil des Publikums zunächst in den Hof, denn nach der wunderschönen, aber sehr melancholischen Performance von EN FINSTERNIS (in einem schwarzen Kleid von V I A N Fashion) mit einer brennenden Kerze brauchten wir ja wie am Ende des letzten Artikels erwähnt definitiv noch mehr Feuer... (^.^) ... Und das bekamen wir auch... erst draußen von einer bezaubernden und nun ganz in weiß gekleideten EVILYN FRANTIC, nach Rückkehr dann auch musikalisch von STEVE MORELL... beides zusammen ein großartiger Startschuss für die Party-Time (es war mittlerweile etwas nach 23 h, die Nacht war also noch jung)!!! ♥♥♥

She looked so beautiful: EVILYN FRANTIC enters the yard to start her nightly fire performance ♥

@ STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 5 - Gardens of Desire

Berlin Fashion Week, 12th of July 2014 @ Panke Club Yard, Berlin-Wedding

Directly after the concert of THE WINGS OF DESIRE EVILYN FRANTIC and me prankishly entered the stage to announce Evilyn's now following nightly fire performance together. We asked our accustomed and pleasantly mobile audience to follow us outside into the front inner yard of the Panke club... Shortly after, our DJ STEVE MORELL (standing already at the turntables prepared for his first set) looked at me a bit insecurely and asked, if nevertheless he should start already in the concert- and party room - or if he better should wait till we come in again? A bit irritated myself from his obvious question I said with a laughing gesture: "No, no, just start in any case! That's STYLE! IT! TAKES! - everything happens at the same time!" (^.^) Headphones put on, a grin - and let's get started... :-)

Naturally, the majority of our audience nevertheless first followed us into the yard for the moment, since after the gorgeous, but very melancholic performance of EN FINSTERNIS (in a black dress by V I A N Fashion) with a burning candle, like mentioned at the end of the last article, we definitely needed even more fire ... (^.^) ... And that's what we got of course... first outside by a charming EVILYN FRANTIC now entirely dressed in white, after our return then also musically by STEVE MORELL... both together a great starting shot for the party time (in the meantime it was shortly after 23 h, so the night was still young)!!! ♥♥♥

Das bezaubernde Outfit der Feuergöttin EVILYN FRANTIC

The enchanting outfit of fire goddess EVILYN FRANTIC

Wie schon in meinem Artikel zur ersten Performance von EVILYN FRANTIC bei STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 5, der Ponygirl-Show, erwähnt, ist Evilyn unglaublich geschickt. So kann sie nicht nur in recht absurden Schuhen laufen beziehungsweise galoppieren (siehe den anderen Post) oder mit Feuer umgehen (um nur ein paar Skills zu erwähnen), sondern auch mit Schmucksteinchen, Perlen, Schere, Nadel und Faden. Die gelernte Schneiderin hat sich ihr komplettes Outfit selbst erstellt, vom wunderschönen Kopfschmuck mit zu unserem Gärten-Motto passenden großen weißen Blüten und flauschigen weißen Federn über den dazu passenden neckischen Brustschmuck, der die Brüste nicht verhüllt, sondern betont und mit weißen Blumen-Pasties kombiniert wurde bis zum (sehr kurzen) Rock. Wunderschön und extrem sexy - sie sah wirklich aus wie eine verführerische Feuergöttin! ♥♥♥

Like already mentioned in my article about the first performance of EVILYN FRANTIC at STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 5, the ponygirl show, Evilyn is incredibly skilful. So she can not only walk or, better to say, gallop in quite absurd shoes (see the other post) or handle with fire (to mention only a few skills), but also with little gems, pearls, scissors, needle and thread. The trained dressmaker has made her complete outfit all by herself, from the gorgeous headpiece with - suiting to our gardens motto - huge white blossoms and fluffy white feathers to the matching saucy chest adornment, which does not cover the breasts, but emphasizes them and has been combined with white flower pasties to the (very short) skirt. Wonderfully beautiful and extremely sexy - she really looked like a seductive fire goddess! ♥♥♥

♥ Such a beautiful outfit: fire goddess EVILYN FRANTIC in seductive nightly action ♥

EVILYN FRANTIC setzt mit ihrem Outfit die schöne Tradition wundervoller DIY-Designs fort, die in all unseren fünf Veranstaltungen eine Rolle spielten... ♥

With her outfit, EVILYN FRANTIC carries on the beautiful tradition of wonderful DIY designs which played a role in all our five events... ♥

Feuer essen / Eating fire

 

Wow, Evilyn, was für eine Show!!! Du bist der Hammer!!! ♥♥♥

Wow, Evilyn, what a show!!! You are a ripsnorter!!! ♥♥♥

Mit dieser entzückenden Performance haben wir im Laufe der Veranstaltung wirklich das ganze, große Areal der PANKE 'bespielt' - vom Garten über Bar und Club-Räume bis zum Innenhof... Und EVILYN FRANTIC hat die Treuen unserer Gäste nun schon als Wassernixe (bei STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 3 letztes Jahr im Sommer), als Ponygirl und als Feuergöttin verzaubert!!! ♥♥♥ Und wer so großartig ist, mit dem arbeiten wir auch gerne immer wieder zusammen! Evilyn, Du bist so wunderbar!!! Umarmungen und 1000 Küsse! ♥♥♥

Und nun aber zurückspaziert in den Club - STEVE MORELL wartet auf Euch!!! Er ist übrigens - weil wir die Abwechslung lieben, nicht weil wir mit unserer großartigen DJ-Auswahl unzufrieden waren - der erste DJ, der zum zweiten Mal bei uns aufgelegt hat (nach STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4)... und auch hier gilt: gerne wieder!!! ♥♥♥

Ein besonderer Dank geht an unseren offiziellen Photographen Benjamin Lippke von House of Rough Arts für diese bombastischen Bilder!!! ♥♥♥

With this enchanting performance we really have 'played on' the whole, huge area of PANKE in the course of the event - from the garden to the bar and club rooms to the inner yard... And EVILYN FRANTIC has enchanted the faithful of our guests now already as a mermaid (at STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 3 last year in summer), as ponygirl and as fire goddess!!! ♥♥♥ And if someone is that magnificent, it's a pleasure to work together time and again! Evilyn, you are so wonderful!!! Hugs and 1000 Kisses! ♥♥♥

But now come on and wander back into the club - STEVE MORELL waits for you!!! He is (after STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4) incidentally the first DJ playing already the second time at our events (because we love the variety, not because we have been unsatisfied with our great selection of DJs...)... and also here it goes: with pleasure again!!! ♥♥♥

A special thanks goes to our official photographer Benjamin Lippke of House of Rough Arts for these bombastic pictures!!! ♥♥♥

@ STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 5 - Gärten der Lüste / Gardens of Desire

Berlin Fashion Week 12. Juli 2014 @ PANKE Club & Garden

[English text below]

Es war so bei unserem Event letztes Wochenende und hier ist's auch so - mensch könnte sagen: Und jetzt zu etwas völlig anderem...!!! (^.^) Nach der wunderschönen, eher romantischen, träumerischen und zauberhaften "Blume"-Show von VILORIJA war es Zeit für etwas Wildes, Furioses - und Lustiges. Zeit für die Ponygirl-Show von Model und Burlesque Performerin EVILYN FRANTIC und ihrer feschen MISTRESS WANDA!!!

Ich hatte schon länger nach einem Ponygirl für unsere Sommer-Veranstaltung gesucht und irgendwann stellte sich heraus, dass die in vielen Dingen sehr geschickte EVILYN FRANTIC seit einiger Zeit dabei war, sich ein Outfit für eine solche Show zu basteln... Ein Kopfgeschirr, Pferdeohren und Hufen aus schwarzem Latex - alles selbstgemacht von Evilyn! Dazu unterstützte uns das Berliner Avantgarde Fashion Label DEGENEROTIKA mit einem ihrer schwarzen, robusten, verstellbaren und vielseitig tragbaren Geschirre aus feinstem Pferdeleder. Fehlte nur noch die Mistress - und auch diese Suche verlief erfolgreich und war eine gute Wahl, wie die Bilder zeigen...

♥

It has been like that at our event last weekend and it's the same here - best would be to say: And now for something completely different...!!! (^.^) After the wonderful, rather romantic, dreamy and enchanting "Blume" show of VILORIJA it was time for something wild, furious - and funny. Time for the ponygirl show by model and Burlesque performer EVILYN FRANTIC and her posh MISTRESS WANDA!!!

I've been looking for a ponygirl for our summer event already since some time and one day it turned out that EVILYN FRANTIC, who's very skilled in many things, has been active since some time in creating an outfit for just such a show... A head harness, horse ears and hooves made out of black latex - everything done herself by Evilyn! In addition, Berlin Avantgarde Fashion Label DEGENEROTIKA supported and provided us with one of their black, sturdy, adjustable and versatile wearable harnesses made out of finest horse leather. Only the mistress was missing - and also this search proceeded fruitful and was a good choice, like the pictures show...

♥

Auch wenn es immer so lieb drein guckte, war das Ponygirl von Anfang an rotzfrech und ungehorsam... ;-)

Even if the ponygirl always looked so gently, it has been snotty and disobedient from the beginning... ;-)

... wofür es dann auch einen Klaps auf den Hintern gab, was das Pony freilich noch ungehorsamer machte...
... wherefore it got a slap across the backside - something which made the pony even more insubordinate of course...

... nachdem sich das Ponygirl auch noch von ihren Vorderhufen und dem die Schultern bedeckenden Tuch befreit hatte und einfach davon lief, gab es kein Halten mehr...
... after the ponygirl even freed herself of her front hooves and the scarf covering her shoulders and simply run away, there was no holding back...

... woraufhin sich die schöne, aber doch etwas strenge Mistress Wanda zu einer noch härteren Gangart entschloss... und einen Tacker (!) aus dem Frack holte
... whereupon the beautiful, but nevertheless a bit rigorous Mistress Wanda decided to increase the pace even more... and fetched a stapler (!) out of her tailcoat

Tacker-Detail * Stapler detail

... und damit verschiedene Karten auf dem Po des armen Ponygirls festtackerte...

*Autsch!!!*

... and stapled various cards on the bottom of the poor ponygirl...

*Ouch!!!*

... was gemischte Reaktionen in den Gesichtern hervorrief

(hinten rechts unsere grinsende DJ Frau Rica)...

... what caused mixed reactions in the faces

(behind to the right our grinning DJ Frau Rica)

Und, ehrlich gesagt, nein, das war kein 'Zaubertrick', wie Mistress Wanda dem staunenden Publikum auch ganz genüßlich demonstrierte, indem sie die Karten wieder abriss (!) und den teils etwas irritierten Gästen mitsamt der darin steckenden Tacker-Nadeln in die Hände reichte... uff!!!

And, to be honest, no, that wasn't a 'legerdemain' (magic trick), what Mistress Wanda exposed with relish to the wide-eyed audience by tearing off (!) the cards again and handing them over along with the therin stuck staples into the hands of the partly a bit irritated guests... uff!!!

Das ging zu weit - auch das Ponygirl rebellierte! Ab auf die Pferdekoppel!!!
That went too far - the ponygirl rebelled, too! Ahead onto the paddock!!!

 ... und nun musste auch Mistress Wanda etwas mehr Haut zeigen...
... and now also Mistress Wanda had to show a bit more of her skin...

Doch nicht nur das: die Rache des Ponys war bitterlich... ;-)
But not only that: the revenge of the pony has been bitterly... ;-)

Aber wie das auch in 'fetischistischen' oder BDSM-Kreisen meistens ist: das schöne Paar schaute danach recht glücklich drein... (^.^) ...und so endete auch die zweite Show mit händchenhaltenden Frauen ♥
But as it is in 'fetishistic' or BDSM circles mostly, too: the beautiful pair looked quite happy after... (^.^) ...and so also the second show ended with girls holding hands ♥

Wie ein Großteil unseres netten Publikums habe ich - begleitet von glucksenden 'Autsch'-Gefühlen - schon lange nicht mehr bei einer Burlesque-Show so gelacht - und lautstarker Beifall war den beiden gewiss...

Like most of our nice audience - accompanied with chuckling 'Ouch' feelings - I hadn't such a big laugh at a Burlesque show since a very long time - and tremendous applause and big cheers for the performers has been assured...

...und es war noch nicht das Ende, da Evilyn Frantic und ihre Mistress Wanda noch nicht genug von ihrem 'Pet Play' hatten und das Ganze passend zu unserem Veranstaltungskonzept als 'Walking Act' mit offenem Ende betrachteten. Und so grasten die beiden das ganze Areal ab, vom Hinterhof über den Barraum des Clubs in den Innenhof der Panke und spielten ihr erotisches Spielchen einfach weiter... ♥

...and it wasn't the end, since Evilyn Frantic and her Mistress Wanda hadn't enough already from their 'pet play' and considered their performance suiting to our event concept as a 'walking act' with open end. And so both of them grazed the whole area, from the backyard through the bar room of the club into the inner yard of Panke and just continued to play their erotic game... ♥

... und so gab's dann doch noch eine kleine Extra-Belohnung! (^.^) ♥

... and so there has been a little extra reward after all! (^.^) ♥

Ich küsse Euch, Evilyn Frantic & Mistress Wanda und bedanke mich auch herzlichst bei meinem Berliner Lieblings-Fashion Label Degenerotika für die Unterstützung der Show.

Ihr wart alle klasse!!!

♥

I kiss you, Evilyn Frantic & Mistress Wanda and also whole-heartedly say thanx to my favourite Berlin fashion label Degenerotika for their support of the show.

You all were so great!!!

CLEA CUTTHROAT undresses LILY CUT

Sometimes, Burlesque is cruel. For example, for the last and late-night fashion performance at STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4, CLEA CUTTHROAT came on stage with a beautiful white lace babydoll dress made by fashion & costume designer Anna from LILY CUT (Berlin). But, as things are supposed to be, the lovely LILY CUT dress has been on her body only for a little while - before being stripped off and thrown into the (not so) 'next corner'... Burlesque-style cruelties to the fashion world... So see - before it's too late - how beautiful Anna's dress is:

CLEA CUTTHROAT WEARS LILY CUT

Late-night performance by CLEA CUTTHROAT @ STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4

Berlin Fashion Week - 17th of January 2014

  

Clea entered stage with a cigarette and highlighted her gorgeous LILY CUT dress

CLEA CUTTHROAT in her white lace babydoll by LILY CUT with a cluster of grapes.

So we were warned from the beginnings about her Dionysian ways to come... (^.^)

(Dionysus has been the ancient Greek god of wine, happiness, grapes, of fertility and ecstasy)

Take a close look at the beauty of the LILY CUT dress before it's too late!!! ♥

 ... ooops... not so bad either... (^.^)

Take(s) care of the dress, CLEA CUTTHROAT! ...since the stage is so wet and dirty after the ecstatic punk & trash & electro porn show of NÄD MIKA and her dancer ANITA (with special guest KURT VON BLEY) directly before... on the bottom right the black dressing gown already taken off by CLEA.

Having undressed and thrown aside safely LILY CUT's babydoll (precise as a star basketballer to the one and only clean place on stage!!!) - there was nothing to hold her back...

THE CREAM

Beautiful punk priestess CLEA CUTTHROAT tastes the sweet life

... and what Näd & Anita hadn't already trashed before... CLEA CUTTHROAT finished it professionally, messed it up finally and left no doubt that there is nothing more to come on stage this night...

Self-censorship? Cream ecstasy!!!

THE BLOOD

Slippery and gluey: Watch the front of the stage!!! (^.^)

Tons of champagne, puffed rice, beer, sweat, ashes, grapes, cream & blood...

 

Blood runs down CLEA's body... (sorry for the censorship-stars!)

THE ECSTASY

CLEA CUTTHROAT's grande finale of an endlessly beautiful STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4

Love & Kisses to CLEA CUTTHROAT & Anna from LILY CUT!!!

And thanx so much to Benjamin for these gorgeous photos!!!

Glamour takes time. A video portrait of the beautiful Marlene von Steenvag

While preparations for STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4 at Berlin Fashion Week in January 2014 are running already, more and more reviews of and links to our project are being published. Last January film director Arthur Paul Heisler accompanied our dancer MARLENE VON STEENVAG at STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 2 with his camera, from her flat and her journey to the venue to beautiful scenes in the small backstage-room to her gorgeous performances on our stage at Grüner Salon der Volksbühne at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, where our event happened that time. Out of these wonderful scenes and with music of the R & B act BEΛR//FVCE from Northern Ireland Arthur has created a video, which is just as glamorous as that evening and the artist herself. In the backstage-room you can also see our artist Nora Below, fashion designer Gregor Marvel and Tommy Dollar (Thomas Dellert Dellacroix) for a very short time. What an amazingly beautiful video!!! ♥

Während bereits die Vorbereitungen für STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4 zur Berlin Fashion Week im Januar 2014 laufen, erscheinen immer wieder neue Rückblicke und Verweise auf unser Projekt. Der Filmer Arthur Paul Heisler hat unsere Tänzerin MARLENE VON STEENVAG vergangenen Januar bei STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 2 mit seiner Kamera begleitet, von ihrer Wohnung über die Anfahrt bis hin zu schönen Szenen im kleinen Backstage-Raum und ihren großartigen Auftritten auf unserer Bühne im Grünen Salon der Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, wo die Veranstaltung damals stattfand. Aus diesen wunderschönen Aufnahmen hat Arthur zu Musik des nordirischen R & B-Acts BEΛR//FVCE ein Video zusammengestellt, welches genauso glamourös ist wie der damalige Abend und die Künsterin selbst. Im Backstage-Raum sind auch kurz unsere Künstlerin Nora Below, der Mode-Designer Gregor Marvel und Tommy Dollar (Thomas Dellert Dellacroix) zu sehen. Was für ein wunderschönes Video!!! ♥

CONFLICT! CRASH! STRIKE! FIRE!

 "It's ooops so quiet... so let's start a riot!!!"

CLEA CUTTHROAT performing BLACK BOULEVARD lingerie (photo: E. Tanev)

CONFLICT!

Every second of this evening of STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 3 in the beautiful garden of Chalet Club has been absolutely perfect: from the beginnings in the afternoon with lovely lilies by JARKA SNAJBERK and our super nice LITTLE MARKET through the breathtakingly wonderful performances by MARIA KALEDENKOVA and LILIYA CHIKOVA doing rhythmic gymnastics, EVILYN FRANTIC being our sweet mermaid, NAMJIRA the geisha dancing Asia Fusion and CLEA CUTTHROAT performing Alice in the earlier evening to the fantastic live concerts of NORA BELOW and VELVET CONDOM during dusk and into the night. Between the shows we had a perfect DJ with MARIE GERMINAL / NUIT NOIRE and we had such lovely and sexy guests, too...

Only one thing has been a bit strange in the background the whole day... part of the nice and competent staff of Chalet Club have not been in that good mood of our lovely and wonderful event... Why? We got to know that most of our partners we were working with that day and evening were kicked out by a new club management! STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 3 has been their last working day before being thrown out, ironically exactly before the club's 'birthday celebrations' of 'One year Chalet Club' starting right after our event at midnight. WTF!!! Though we never like managements kicking out their employees, you still could say, it's not our business or problem... but unfortunately things took a different turn!!!

 VELVET CONDOM performing KNOTH KOUTURE (photo: Jarka Snajberk)

CRASH!

Seconds after 10pm - the agreed time for the end of the live concerts - the new boss arrived at the DJ desk, shouted at the Chalet technician to immediately stop the live concert of VELVET CONDOM just at it's height, during the last or penultimate song of their amazing performance... and then he tried to pull out the cables in a both very aggressive and ridiculously stupid manner (DJ headphones included!!! *lol*), but no way...

... after pulling out every cable existing, live music stopped and there was a horrifying silence in 'our' garden for minutes... a shocked technician, a shocked light guy, a shocked me, a shocked band and a shocked audience... no sound at all, not even a microphone left for me for communication, nothing...

Originally, right after the concert, CLEA CUTTHOAT should have been the next and final performer in a wonderful white dress by fashion designer LILY CUT, doing a very bloody Grande Finale zombie show. This should lead over to a nightly DJ MARIE GERMINAL party and dance set inside the pavilion, celebrating our glorious evening right before Berlin would sink into chaos at last... (^.^)

STRIKE!

STYLE! IT! TAKES! was born out of experiences of alienated wage labour.
STYLE! IT! TAKES! started after deciding to never work again.

(from our Manifesto, chapter Birth)

CLEA CUTTHROAT performing Alice earlier that evening (photo: E. Tanev)

Waiting just around the corner for her cue, CLEA CUTTHROAT directly has been watching that disgusting situation - opening eyes about the sometimes fucked up arrogant Berlin art and club situation and maybe (this has been stated as the official 'reason') some ridiculous neighbours calling the police because of something different happening on a noisy Saturday night in Kreuzberg... (we are not sure if we should believe this and even if, we are talking about some minutes live program left and the club DJs were going on all night anyway without any police arriving...)

Both the Chalet club's sound guy and I had been fighting against this attack on Berlin underground culture, but no chance...

...and then our wonderful friend CLEA looked at me and said:

"Kersten, you are such a lovely person and this is such a great event, I appreciate what you are doing so much, but I will NEVER perform for such douche-bags treating artists like shit!!!"

So CLEA CUTTHROAT went on the first STYLE! IT! TAKES! strike - and I strongly felt that this was the very right decision and absolutely coherent spirit!!! ♥

Not knowing who was comforting whom, that must have been the moment when CLEA and I fell into each other's arms for quite a long time...

XXX, ♥♥♥ 

FIRE!

So I think we both missed this... EVILYN FRANTIC took over spontaneously in this situation without music (at least: not our music!), getting naked and playing with fire... ♥♥♥

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

"So when the hurting starts / And when the nightmares begin / remember you can fill up the sky /

You don't have to give in / You don't have to give in / Never give in"

(The Cure - Fight, 1987)

While I was wandering around trying to personally inform as many people as possible about what happened here in the background, suddenly our music started again. :-) It came out that our fantastic DJ MARIE GERMINAL / NUIT NOIRE reinstalled the DJ desk shortly after being cut off and fought back her place together with the dismissed Chalet technician (thank you, this was super nice and you did such a great sound and mixing job the whole evening - hope you find a new place to work, you deserve it!!! Everyone knowing something about mixing was very satisfied and impressed by your sound...) for another round of her great DJ sets!!!

This courageous intervention has been another situation showing how great our artists have been throughout this amazing evening... thank you so much, NUIT NOIRE!!! ♥♥♥

  

DJ Marie Germinal / Nuit Noire earlier that evening (pictures by me)

So even this disgusting situation was turned by everyone involved into something amazing:

a strike keeping head-held-high against disrespectful treatment of artists in Berlin club culture,

a fantastic spontaneous sexy fire show in the garden which helped over the sudden silence and our DJ fighting successfully with solidarity by kicked out technicians to get back her place and finish what was promised to her by us and by the club!!!

I'm deeply impressed by all of you and your amazing actions: thanx so much, Clea Cutthroat, Evilyn Frantic and Marie Germinal!!! Thanx so much, too, to Velvet Condom who showed great style in getting disrupted and to our great audience, who had so much understanding and showed such a great solidarity!!!

We love you all!!!

XXX, ♥♥♥, yours truly, 18th of August 2013

Kersten aka Magenta for Style! It! Takes!

p. s.: I want to say loud and clear that ALL of Chalet club's old personnel has been absolutely nice, helpful and competent during the whole evening: starting from the cleaning people in the afternoon fulfilling all our (partly complicated and stressy) wishes to all of the bartenders, the super nice barbecue man to the great sound and light technicians and many others. Also, the former boss was pissed off and sorry for the unneccessary and aggressive break-up only some minutes before the end of the concert. So no complaints, everyone working for this club till that night did a fabulous job!!!

p. p. s.: Still, we feel very sorry for Velvet Condom not being able to finish their great live set, for Clea Cutthroat being unable to perform her and our planned 'Grande Finale' in an acceptable way, for fashion designer Lily Cut since Clea Cutthroat has been wearing a wonderful white dress by her for her blood show and for Marie Germinal who has still been cut off of one hour party time (orginal schedule had been till midnight, but she had to stop at 23 h). Also we feel sorry for our later guests, partly not knowing what had been happening at all... but having that great evening in mind, everyone felt happy in the end - no chance for the 'douche-bags'!!! (^.^) ...

We simply are larger than life!!! ♥

Please check out all of this amazing summer evening in pictures, videos and stories:
