"this place was a shelter.." (2014)
From the series 'In Bloom' by photographer Bella Kotak
Model: Lulu Lockhart
[English translation below]
Wie versprochen
geht es heute weiter mit unserem wunderschönen Regenbogen aus Bildern von 'Blumenmädchen' in floraler Mode, farbenfrohen Make-ups, blumigen Accessoires. Wir fahren dort fort, wo
wir aufgehört haben und suchen zunächst die blaue Blume. Dann kommen verschiedene Schattierungen von Violett & Lila sowie Rosa (als zweite, gegenüber dem klassischen Regenbogen hinzugefügte Extrafarbe nach Weiß im ersten Teil) und via Fuchsia / Magenta schließen wir den 'Blumenkreis' zurück zu Rot. Nachdem der erste Teil ein so großer Erfolg bei meinen lieben Leser*innen geworden ist, kann ich versprechen, dass es heute ebenso wunderbar wird wie beim letzten Mal! ♥
Dass es etwas länger gedauert hat, lag vor allem daran, dass ich neben der ohnehin schon schwierigen Auswahl der allerschönsten Photos im Kontext mit meinem (nicht nur Farb-) Konzept mal wieder endlos damit beschäftigt war, die Quellen von ohne jegliche Angaben in sozialen Netzwerken und Photoblogs kursierenden Arbeiten herauszufinden und die Photos in möglichst originalem Zustand (Ausschnitt, Auflösung & Schärfe, Farbgebung usw.) auszugraben, was eine ziemlich zeitraubende Arbeit ist. In unserem Qualitätsblog gibt es jetzt also (soweit verfügbar) neben Angaben zu den beteiligten Künstler*innen und Details zur Veröffentlichung auch photographisch wieder die 'Originale' in voller Blütenpracht!*
Ein besonderer Dank geht an meine Social Network-Freund*innen, die dabei mithelfen, dass ein solcher, mit viel Liebe und Arbeit erstellter Post auch im Netz gefunden wird und an unsere atemberaubenden (auch diesmal mehrheitlich weiblichen) Photograph*innen, Models, Make-up-Artists, Hair-Stylist*innen und – last but not least – Mode-Designer*innen. Ihr seid großartig! Dankeschön, und hier kommt der zweite Teil meines 'Potlatch'-Geschenkes an Euch:
Blumenliebe & Blumenküsse

unermüdliche Detektivin

* Ausnahmen bestätigen die Regel und es lässt sich leider auch nicht
alles herausfinden. Das gilt oft besonders für die Namen der Models und
anderer Beteiligter – diesbezüglich verhalten sich viele Photograph*innen nämlich leider oft nicht besser als die meisten Web-User*innen... :-(
As I have promised, today we continue with our beautiful rainbow composed of pictures of 'flower girls' in floral fashion, colorful make-ups, flowery accessories. We continue where we have stopped and first search for the blue flower. Then come various shades of violet & purple plus rose / pink (as – compared to the classical rainbow – second added extra color after white in the first part) and via fuchsia / magenta we close the 'flower circle' back to red.
After the first part has become such a big success among my dear readers, I can promise that it will be just as wonderful today as last time! ♥
That it took a bit longer was mainly caused by the fact that – beside the already difficult enough selection of the most beautiful photos in the context of my (not only color) concept – I have been endlessly busy once again with finding out the sources of works circulating without any credits in social networks and photo blogs and digging up the photos in the most available original condition (crop, resolution
& sharpness, coloration etc.) which is an extremely time-consuming work. So, in our quality blog now here are – beside, if available, informations about the participating artists and details about the release – also photographically the 'originals' in full bloom again!*
A special thanks to my social network friends who are helping to spread such a post (made with much love and work) in the web and to our breathtaking (also this time mostly female) photographers, models,
make-up artists, hair stylists and – last but not least – fashion designers. You are marvelous! Thanks a lot,
and here comes the second part of my 'potlatch' gift to you:
Flower Love & Flower Kisses
sends your
tireless detective

* Exceptions confirm the rule and unfortunately not everything can be found out. Often that goes especially for the names of the models
and
other participants – as on that score many photographers sadly behave often not better than most of the web users... :-(

Manchmal müssen wir also weit reisen, um die blauen Kornblumen zu finden. Dabei hätten wir auch in Berlin bleiben und einfach auf meinen Balkon gehen können... (^.^)
Aber immerhin habe ich so ein neues Lieblingsblumenmädchenphoto gefunden! ♥
So, sometimes we got to travel far to find the blue cornflowers. And yet, we could have just stay in Berlin and step on my balcony... (^.^)
But, anyway, I have found a new favourite flower girl photo this way! ♥

Of course, the flower love is not only celebrated in natural surroundings, but also in the interiors...

Though this beautiful picture is shared quite often on social media, fashion or corset pages,
it actually was one of the most difficult to find out more about it.
But 'detective Magenta' finally detected everything I wanted to know:

Wusstet Ihr, dass jede der Farben der unter anderem von der LGBTQ-Bewegung benutzten Regenbogenfahne eine Bedeutung hat? Bei der im Original von 1978 achtfarbigen LGBTQ-Fahne von Gilbert Baker steht Rot für „Leben“, Orange für „Gesundheit“, Gelb für „Sonnenlicht“, Grün für „Natur“, Türkis / Hellblau für „Kunst“, Indigo / Königsblau für „Harmonie“, Violett für „Geist“ und Fuchsia / Magenta für
„Sexualität“. Umso verwunderlicher, dass bis heute die ursprünglich aus sehr pragmatischen Gründen verschwundenen Farben Magenta (mangelnde Verfügbarkeit von bezahlbarem Stoff für die Massenproduktion, da Textilien in der Farbe Magenta / Hot Pink 1978/9 noch nicht industriell hergestellt wurden) und kurz darauf aus rein organisatorischen Gründen auch das Türkis (um wieder eine gerade Zahl zu erreichen) verschwunden sind... (im Detail).
In unserem 'Blumengirl-Regenbogen' sind – ganz im Sinne der Vielfalt und des 'Community'-Geistes – nun wieder alle vereint! ♥
Did you know that any of the colors of the rainbow flag used by the LGBTQ movement (beside others) has a meaning? In the original LGBTQ flag by Gilbert Baker from 1978, consisting of eight colors, red symbolizes „life“, orange stands for „health / healing“, yellow for „sunlight“, green for „nature“, turquoise/light blue for „art / magic“, indigo/blue for „serenity / harmony“, violet for „spirit“ and hot pink/fuchsia/magenta for
„sexuality“. Even more surprising that up to today the colors Magenta and Turquoise – which initially both have been removed only out of very pragmatical reasons – have disappeared: in the case of Magenta due to an unavailability of affordable hot-pink fabric for the mass production in 1978/9, and shortly afterwards also Turquoise disappeared because of purely organisatorial reasons in order to reach an even number again... (in detail). In the sense of diversity and the spirit of the community, in our 'flower girl rainbow' now all are united again! ♥

Nach mehr als 50 traumhaft schönen und atemberaubenden Photos von Künstler*innen, Photograph*innen & Models aus fünf Kontinenten haben wir unseren wunderschönen Blumenregenbogen hiermit dennoch nur scheinbar 'geschlossen' – es gibt auch kugelrunde Vollkreis-Regenbögen! Und da sich Regenbögen mit den Betrachter*innen mitbewegen, können wir ohnehin nie zum Ende des Regenbogens gelangen...
Hier geht's also wieder von vorne los: Blumenmädchen ⊰1⊱...
After more than 50 gorgeous & stunning photos by artists, photographers & models from five continents, still it only seems that we herewith have 'closed' our wonderful flower rainbow – there are spherical full-circle rainbows, too!

So here it starts again from the beginning: Flower Girls ⊰1⊱...
