Oooooh Oh Land
Nanna Oland Fabricius is "Oh Land" from Denmark. The daughter of an opera singer and a composer, she grew up in a small house outside of Copenhagen. At the age of ten she entered the Royal Ballet School and trained ballet and modern dance until a slipped disc in her back ended her dancing carrer at the age of 18. At that point she started doing her music more intensivly keeping it for herself as a kind of therapy. Her first album "Fauna" was released more quietly in 2008. For the new album "Oh Land" she went in a much more electronic direction. The absolutely catchy first single of this album "Sun Of A Gun" reached over eight million views on YouTube. Oh Land is touring Europe with her keyborder and drummer and just played a wonderful show in Hamburg. Her dancemoves are inspiring her voice is impressive and the show with all it's sparkling lights, balloons with illuminating faces of Nanna changing to wollfe shapes and snowflakes puts you in a nother dimension for the time beeing.
Thanks Boys!

Protect What You Love
„INTO THE WILD“ BY YOHAN COLIN. A photo exhibition which is happening at BRIGHT in Berlin, on January 20th to 22nd, 2011. Main focus of the exhibition is a Black & White photo series portraying the genesis of an Alaia, an ancient hawaiian surfboard made of Paulownia wood. The love for craftsmanship, attention to detail and puristic approach to surfing shown in the series are the same concepts inspiring the TWOTHIRDS Fall/Winter 2011 Collection.
Based in Biarritz and influenced by his surroundings, photographer Yohan Colin has been capturing the atmosphere of surfing and street culture with his silver camera. His work has been featured at galleries and fashion boutiques such as L‘Artnoa, O.K Daddy, Corezon and 90 Grados.
TWOTHIRDS was established in San Sebastian, heart of the Basque Country. Its founders started a surf-inspired street label to be set apart from others. A brand that stands for pure design, high quality sustainable fabrics and a deep connection to the ocean.
Two-thirds of our planet is covered by ocean. There is no doubt of it‘s influence on life in generall. twothirds aim to address like-minded people, who are awake and aware of the immense value of our oceans and are deeply connected to surfing but also have a thirst for style and substance. More than just another green brand they like to think of TWOTHIRDS as the blue company.
Leitmotif: Protect what you love.

Never Sorry
According to Chinese authorities, he is a dissident to be watched, one whose inflammatory blog needed to be silenced. To others, the Chinese conceptual artist, architect, photographer, and curator is loathed and loved for his human rights activism and is the courageous voice needed in today’s repressive China.

The Dog To Your Bone
Its cold.
The new year is here.
To quote a friend: "if someone could tell you what the new year will bring, would you wanna know?"
"never!"
I have been listening to a song over and over today - mindtravelling into summer, the smell of warm rain on green grass and festival sunsets. Orlando Higginbottom alias Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs short TEED, is supposably the son of an Oxford music professor. He makes his own musicvideos prefers to dress up somehow and i just fell in love with him for making me feel like summer in january.

Not All That Long Ago
70 years ago, today January 6th 1941 US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt proposed "The Four Freedoms" to Congress in his speech:
"In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression - everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way - everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want - which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants - everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear - which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor - anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conception - the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.
Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change - in a perpetual peaceful revolution - a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions - without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.
To that high concept there can be no end save victory."

Who Made Kate
Corinne Day, a british photographer, worked a lot and became close friends with Model Kate Moss. It was she who in 1990 shot the first published fashionspread with at the time 15 year old Kate, for the british magazine The Face. Kate's sincere expression, no make up, a mix of designer and second hand clothes made these pictures more of an anti-fashion style. A style that took hold in fashion-, music- and designimagery for several years of the 90's : artlessness became art - some called it "grunge".

She started to work as an Art Director at the magazine The Face shooting fashion spreads and covers and later for magazines like the British Vogue. That was when she searched through models polaroids of various agencies and found Kate Moss whom she likened to "the girl next door". They lived, worked and prosepered together for three years. "Corinne's pictures, you might say, made Kate, and Kate made Corinne's reputation." The Evening Standard said in 2007.
A lot of Corinne Day's work is clearly fashion but her aspiration was to document the lives of the people she knew best, and her "Diary", published in 2000 tells visual stories.

"I think fashion magazines are horrible. They're stale and they say the same thing year in and year out."
She said in an interview with the british newspaper The Observer in 1995
