Wake the Bats vol. 2

From the first time I've met the designer of Mannequin Factory, I decided his work needs to be seen at a catwalk...and that I should be one of the models. This thought has been stuck in my head for some time until finally I got this idea: I will organize the fashion show as a part of my own event, Wake the Bats.

And that's what I am doing with the help of the club where it's taking place and a lovely creative team who is helping me with planning and organization. The party is scheduled on 26 April (Saturday) at 21.00. I want everyone to be there, this time not just because me and the guest dj L. T. Renfield will put on a selection of yummy deathrock, gothic rock, postpunk, darkwave and horrorpunk. This time I mainly want you to be there because of the fashion show and the designer who is incredibly talented artist!

We'd be happy if you share the fb event, invite friends and most of all, attend the party ;)
This is a first time for both of us - both me organizing a fashion show and Mannequin Factory doing a fashion show. Expect the unexpected!

It’s a pirate life, arr!

First things first, I did an interview with Petra Flurr, who is a very unique and inspiring artist.

If you haven’t read the interview yet, you can do so here:

I have something big coming as for events. Some of you might already know, some don’t , but I think I will write more about it in the next blog entry.

Enjoy a photo from my pirate Friday with a good friend of mine. ;)

Here's a few pics of the things I make when I have a bit of spare time :p

Going off to a party soon. Hope life's treating you well! :)

 

A new year - a fresh start

A bit too late for a Happy new year blog entry, isn't it? xD
Anyways, I have some ideas that I'd like to turn into reality this year, let's see how it works out.
I have started this year by cooperation with this awesome talented fashion designer and artist whose work you should check out unless you know him already ;)

Here is the first photo from our cooperation. I loved the dress he designed for this shoot!

more to be seen later on my fb modelling page

I have so many ideas for DIY stuff atm, but not much time to make anything. I have made a few patches recently though..and some more things, I just need to take photos of them :p

One more thing: a little flashback to 2011. I miss Drop Dead Festival so much. I need to go to some nice festival this year! I'd love to go to Gothic Pogo Party, but I don't know if it works out for me time-wise.

This is my Swedish friend Viktoria and me at Drop Dead Festival 2011.

Concerts make me happy ^-^

I’ve been to a few gigs lately and enjoyed them very much.

First of all, I have seen one of my favourite bands, Wednesday 13 live again. Their concerts always fill me with energy. Their support band was Sister from Sweden, who did a very good job, too. I didn’t know them previously, I first heard them at the gig, but I realized I like their music. After the concert we’ve hung out with them for the rest of the night and had a lot of fun drinking and discussing just about everything. xD It was an awesome night, indeed ;)

I’ve made a pvc garter with spikes to wear to the concert. It took me a couple of hours, but I guess like the outcome. :) Here’s a few pics from the concerts and “the afterparty“.

meeting W13 again <3

 

afterpartyin' with Sister :D

November started with guest  Djing at Le Paradis Noir, which was not only a very nice event, as each of its editions, but also featured a Hysteric Helen concert (yay!) since it was a Hysteric Helen CD promo party. ;) In my view, Hysteric Helen are certainly one of the best Slovak bands and I’ve enjoyed their concert a lot. It had put a smile on my face and made me dance.

A couple of weeks later, on my birthday,I attended another concert. The pioneers of deathrock in Slovakia, The Last Days of Jesus celebrated already their 20th (!) year in existence. I have seen them live several times and they never ever dissappoint me. In case you don’t know them, I can only recommend you to give them a listen. ;))

Just remembered now that it's about one year from 8 December 2012 when I’ve met my favourite artist all time and a very inspiring person to me – Marilyn Manson. Such great memories of that day! ^_^

One more thing I don’t want to forget to mention is that I’ve got some new modelling photos from the photographer Gerhard K., so I updated my fb modelling page a bit,  take a look if you’d like to. ;)

I have more fun and exciting stuff planned on, so expect a new journal entry sometime soon! ;D

Until then take care & have a great day!
