EVILYN FRANTIC is our blue mermaid

One of the many nice things in our project are our surprise performers. Last time Kitty Wild came around and showed her amazing cat outfit. This time we had Evilyn Frantic, a lovely sideshow / burlesque performer, fetish, nudity, horror and alternative model from Finland, grown up in Sweden. She warmed our hearts and came as a mermaid!!! :-)

# 3 - Summer Evening of Fashion, Performances & Music (Berlin Fashion Week, 6th July 2013)

Evilyn Frantic is a bit crazy. I mean, for weeks I have been promoting the beautiful little pond in the garden of the Chalet Club and have been searching for a model doing something like a little 'nixie, water nymph or mermaid show' there. This great woman joined our project shortly before the event, planning a mermaid show since a longer time and decided - for the old bathtub!!! (^.^)

She made her mermaid outfit herself, but can't walk in it - she needed and found lovely help by Crudelia von Grimm... ♥

Thanx so much, Crudelia - not only in that situation you showed, you are a real gentleman! ♥

The day we fixed our mermaid plan, Evilyn wrote: "I found the perfect t-shirt today too, it said: 'Don't be such a mermaid!'" *lol* ... and: "Maybe for the afterparty" (^.^) ...

Evilyn's beautiful fish-like wriggling mermaid installation happened simultaneously to geisha Namjira riding a horse through the garden... What wonderful moments!!!

EVILYN changed her outfits several times that evening... every single one has been just perfect!!!

Here we see her drinking a wine with Emma after her performance...

Evilyn didn't wear so much, but unfortunately she lost a part of her outfit (the skirt which appears in the last pic)...

Later she saved our night spontaneously, spitting fire during an uncomfortable situation...

All this is exactly why we love her and why she is just perfect for our project... (^.^)

Thanx so much, Evilyn!!!

"Mermaids unite!!!"

p. p. s.:

a funny story from Evilyn:

when she and a friend walked through Christiania - a drunk/high guy said:

"Hey, you look like fish!"

My answer: "Yes! it's because we ARE fish! Blubb,blubb."

The guy: "...blubb,blubb" (and looked really confused)
and turned to his friend: "They were fish."

... in the summer garden of CHALET

Die Suche nach einer geeigneten Location für STYLE! IT! TAKES! gehört zu den schwierigsten, bisweilen aber auch interessantesten Aufgaben jeder Veranstaltung. Da es bei uns ja nie langweilig werden soll, habe ich mich - wie bereits am Ende unseres Manifestes angedeutet - für die Juli Fashion Week für ein sommerliches Setting entschieden und im zauberhaften Garten des CHALET Clubs in Kreuzberg einen beinahe magischen Ort für unsere Shows gefunden...

Dreaming of STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 3 at Chalet Club Garden (May 2013)

Finding a suitable location for STYLE! IT! TAKES! is one of the most difficult, but sometimes also most interesting tasks of every event. Since with us it should never get boring, for the July Berlin Fashion Week I decided on a very summerly setting - as intimated already at the end of our Manifesto - and found an almost magical place for our shows in the enchanting garden of the CHALET club in Kreuzberg...

Der Chalet Club von der Straße aus / The Chalet Club from the street

Letzten Sommer hat sich ein Teil der ehemaligen Bar25-Crew dem 1850 erbauten, denkmalgeschützten Sternenhaus vor dem Schlesischen Tor angenommen (früher war hier das "Heinz Minki") und es zu einer angesagten Kulturstätte umgewandelt.

Chalet is a club owned by former Bar25 crew members. It's housed in the center of Kreuzberg in a 150 year-old building, which "radiates the warm atmosphere of the 19th century."

Der Chalet Club hat sogar eine eigene Bushaltestelle / Chalet Club even got its own bus station (Bus 265 (N65) > S Schöneweide: Heckmannufer)

 It's also close both from U 1 Schlesisches Tor and S 41/42 Treptower Park (located in the middle of these stations)

... where we fell in love with this garden...

Everything fashion bloggers need... great music, tobacco, beer, a cigarette holder, whiskey, a diary, a camera and - a pond! (^.^)
