Black Spirit

I'm back from Berlin, it was an amazing journey :D

In Berlin, everybody had an amazing look. But there are so many tourists that I don't know if I can say that the Berliners are this amazing. But people looks great!

I went on the west and on the east side of Berlin and people are amazing in both of the two sides. People aren't afraid to be themselves. There are not afraid to look like goth, punk or whatever. Girls are not afraid to wear very short skirts.
In my country (Belgium), when you are different, or if you are wearing too short clothes, people are coming to talk to you, insulting you most of the time. In Berlin: no one cares about you. Maybe people talks, but not in front of you.
That's amazing.


If you understand french, here is a little reportage about fashion in Berlin: http://www.arte.tv/fr/europeens/Mode-a-Berlin/2712168.html

I also found that in Berlin, people are very cool with their clothes, they are very comfortable but they always are elegant, they always have some accessories who change it all... They mix comfort with elegance and that's great to see that you can be very feminine and elegant in this way.


And who says Berlin, says Nina Hagen! So here is a song for you. Enjoy!

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is one of my favourite book and one of my favourite old movie. Starring Angela Lansbury as Sibyl Vane (it was one of her first movies), Hurt Hatfield as Dorian Gray (he plays wonderfully well!), George Sanders as Lord Henry Wotton and Donna Reed as Gladys Hallward.
There are some differences between the movie and the novel but I found it very convincing and the actors play very well. It's a elegant movie which pay tribute to the original novel.

Some months ago, I've decided that a simple black outfit suit me much better than anything else. When I was a teenager, I've tried a lot of style of clothing and even if I like original stuffs a lot, simple stuffs suit me better. I've admitted it now. But I like to be original so much! T_T

So, for everyday, I like to have original and unique jewelery and for that, Etsy is the best!

Here is my favorite Etsy jewelery seller:

Here is an Etsy shop that I've just discovered some days ago.

I'm a big fan of music. I've tons of cd's, I love it! But it's pretty difficult to love clothing, books, movies AND music without being ruined ^_^. It's soooo expensive sometimes to be a music fan (17€ for 10 songs on a cd, are you kidding??? Ôo) that I have to be more careful and to find an alternative way to buy music - because I don't like buying files on Internet, it's as impersonal as to read a e-book...

I'm a metal and an electro fan. And I found this website which is totally amazing:

I'm a very big fan of B-movies. For me, a B-movie is a movie which can bring a lot to the beholder with a low cost of budget. Some people told me that movies like "Freddy VS Jason" are B-movies. I don't think so: I think it's just crap. I don't think that because you've failed a movie, it's a B-movie. For instance, there are good and bad B-movies (sure ^_^).

The actuals B-movies, I call it most of the time "funny B-movie", because I think that today, when someone want to make a B-movie, it's just for fun (like "hey we want to make a creepy horror movie with our best friends and some ketchup"). And it's really fun but it's not like the oldies.

I think that a B-movie can dare more than others, you have more possibilities. But I don't like the fact that a lot of B-movie makers think it's great to do some sort of porn movie. If you want to do porn, do it. But if you really need that to make your movie great, you're pitiful.

Here is some great sites about B-movie: http://www.bmoviecentral.com/bmc/ and http://www.badmovies.org/

It's all for this time, I will certainly speak about actors and movies I like later :).

Have a nice day!

I'm planning to go to Berlin with my boyfriend in two weeks :D That will be a lot of fun ^_^

Of course, I want to visit the usual Berlin (Mitte, Alexanderplatz...) and spend some money in some material stuff that I don't have in Belgium (X-tra-X for some shoes, Saturn for the music...) but I also want to visit the "underground" Berlin, too. My boyfriend is not... an "undergournd" person ^_^. So I hope I will be able to visit the places I want to see :).

"Underground" in French means something which is not "usual". For instance, listening to batcave music is "underground" when pop music is "mainstream". I don't know how to say that in English :/.

I would like to go to Friedrichshain and some squats, to know better another Berlin that the travel agency don't show us. I would like to go to Tacheles, Rauhaus too.
I found two website which are pretty interesting:

On Sunday, I would like to go to Mauerpark to see the secondhand trade which seems famous.

If you have some good addresses in Berlin (food, bar, expositions...) don't hesitate to tell me ;)
