QueerRiotClub vs. QueerBurlesqueFest @ Clash

Posted on March 25, 2013 by admin

I'm a certain portion Trash inclined towards positive and good music anyway. Thus, a store, which “The Clash” and calls on the walls of posters and flyers of bands louder and faster music hang won anyway.

If there then held another event, die sich vs QueerRiotClub. QueerBurlesqueFest nennt, so this is an urgent reason, to see the Clash times closer.

Before that, Janka picked up and taken their hairdressers services when. Voilà ich trage nun Pony… the me (and many other amazing) with my synthetic hair wig recently like it so much, I had to leave urgently style also one of my real hair wigs as. Vielen Dank an Janka.

So of course we got going again much later, as we wanted to, but that did not, because we actually got to the Clash perfectly correct…. Surprisingly, I noticed, I was there once before. To a punk concert minimum 3 Years ago. Was good back then – But this year also.

A part of the show made up the typical Teaserettes numbers, that this time, however, were enriched with some other numbers. I've never been the ladies on stage “Gaybar” see perform, but it fit so well with the audience.

And that was plenty. the – not just small – Store was really well filled with guests of all Coleur the Queer scene + Friends. Transsexuals, Women with beards, Queens, Gays, Lesbians, ordinary people, Goths and punk-influenced people… oh yeah, and certainly many more.

So confused as the audience but was also a life on the stage. As I said the Teaserettes, a Pirate Jenny, the recited a poem, Marcella with a drag performance, an electro-punk singer from Finland, a girl, the undressed with knives, a type, of a flashlight in a strange place was uswusf. Anything with a good deal of trash.. The audience – and it pleased me, but.

As well as the number of Hedoluxe and Sheila from the Wizard of Oz, with the heartless Tin Man and Dorothy. Alone the costume of Hedoluxe is so great, that would justify a separate defined contribution. But look for yourself. Divine, or?

Divine was also found us – So, strictly speaking, Janka and me… A painter told us in to see a worthwhile image, just because we rumsassen and passed the time waiting with. You definitely needed a picture of us, but managed somehow not really any other way, and was also fairly by the wind.

But she had a “Manager” there, which took in hand… came of it then but somehow nothing, no picture, painted by us, But somehow that was not to be expected.

Did not matter, for the evening and the numbers were still very nice and it was worth it, to visit the Clash.

Teddy Award 2013 – the best Teddy Award in recent years

Posted on February 17, 2013 by admin

Der Teddy Award, His character is the most important and largest queer film award is undoubtedly in its importance, especially when it comes to films from around the world, that achieved with such attention Award.

Unfortunately it was in the past often, Teddy had the ceremony length and often much “Jabbering”. This year was different. Der Teddy Award 2013 was different. Big emotions, Goose bumps and still important words.

It began with the Berlin music group Laing and the victory columns Else Award for a film, the film clip I have said little. As with a good show. A beginning, had the potential to increase. And it was increased.

Klaus Wowereit – Patron of the Teddy – was called to the stage and who was expecting a bored speech at any event Berlinale, was disabused. It was the best speech, I have heard of Mr. Wowereit yet. In addition to the self-evident truths to Teddy he spoke to the struggle, consisting still, He addressed, as countries in dealing with queer lifestyles setbacks make and addressed explicitly Russia and renamed it with the following words: “With the law be legally discriminated against homosexuals in Russia – That's a shame, you must appoint Sun”. He spoke to France, that have adopted same-sex marriage, mentioned the importance of teddy bears and other Gayprides. Man merkte, it is with your heart into. One can think about Klaus Wowereit, was man will, The speech was great.

For me the highlight was the cinematic Special Teddy Award, was mitvergeben of the HIV help Berlin and went to a great project in South Africa. “Steps for the Future”. about 50 short films about people living with HIV with and without AIDS, on their everyday, about their lives and their Lebensmus, The sink is not particularly. You are in South Africa brought in the most remote places and shown. No movie is needed. The technique is brought and the movies, and so also the discussion.

In the excerpt we saw a school class, the two people do not get AIDS, However, the HIV virus which contributed discussed and there certainly reached a lot of acceptance.. And if the reaction of a woman suffering from AIDS is, which is experiencing, that their baby is completely healthy, not close goes, which can have no heart. Poignant. This teddy is the project right. May he help him. Steps for the Future – a great project and great Annabelle Mandeng introduced.

And since we were in Africa the next Musikact fit perfectly. Imany. Completely unknown to me until now, The singer seduced me with her music and her singing completely. Now it may be a cliché, herauszukramen at an African singer immediately named Tracy Chapman. But I have many plates of you and I like them a lot – and “AND” Imany reminded me with her singing at the young Tracy Chapman. Only that Imany still has a better voice and it also looks insanely great. The feeling, if she is singing but the same touching. It comes soon on tour and I'll have to go.

A great speech, a great film project and a great singer. Here I would be able to walk home happy.

The films nominated in the category of feature film touched me, not all three, me during all three films in the category “Documentation” for more enthusiastic.

A lawyer, entering Cameroon for homosexuals, where even an SMS with a vow of love already be available for several years in jail.

Exposed, a documentary about the still living underground burlesque scene in New York with a lot of make-up, freaky people and obviously a lot of fun, of me a little bit of gender einnerte X but just as Burlesque. I absolutely must see the movie.. just how and where?

Simple is the winner Bambi!, is shown tomorrow at Kino International and the life of a French transsexual shows, went their way in a world long past. Great old recordings, apparently a great movie… I'll look tomorrow.

Although I would prefer to have seen a longer excerpt from Exposed, but I'm already out yet

For television, was then probably the biggest moment of the evening of the performance by Rufus Wainwright. The first song I've been thinking “Since I was more enchanted Imany” but as soon as he Hildegard Knef “For me heck rain Red roses” in German - tried to sing – and that should not be a satire of the song, I had to confess. Honestly intentioned applause and not only, because the singer was known. That was great cinema. At least half the room sang along softly to himself the song and felt. I have at least.

A fitting conclusion to the best Teddy Awards, Since I know the Teddy. And no matter, with whom I talked about it afterwards, All were inspired by this evening.

Leiser is kaputtgegagen me my camera – therefore I do not have a picture of the ceremony

Flamingo & Irrenhouse

Posted on December 1, 2012 by admin

A weekend in the winter. Time, from the first snow to the use of snowmelt. So keep that time in the Janka for common high-heeled winter sleep. Not only in this weekend.

After her company Christmas party she was actually styled and ready to stand in high heels with Sheila and me to board the Berlin nightlife. Ned long seen, the tall blonde.

Actually, the annual Christmas Irrenhouse was scheduled. To visit, whether the new place of Irrenhouse not perhaps so great is, that one would have to visit him frequently… But this is known to stop later brings fun, Therefore, we conducted the first station in the Flamingo Berlin, den Club, which sometimes makes the bouncer and Sheila decides, who as well purely and simply can not purely.

A cool little club with a really nice music, which reminded me of my disco beginnings. Smoother Hip hop und G-Funk. Chilled and danceable. I loved. This music I really Clubs, not really long one… Dem Cassis Drink, to me, the bartender recommended, However, I could not abgewinnen so really much.

But as the other guests there, because when we arrived, the store was actually empty. We three, Mrs. Pepper with two girlfriends, I did not expect and Jana, as her lover should hang there. 10 People in the store, 7 known, like a private party… It was then quickly filled, While the music was similarly well… However, we were on our way to the Comet to Irrenhouse.

Also during the second in new Irrenhouse I must say – really kicks me not the new place really. …But Irrenhouse is above all due to the drag show interesting – and that was in the wrong house christmas always extra special…

…This year, however,… Melli und Mataina… I had seen this before, Brigitte with a Pfeiffnumber, the sound kinda whacked – Nina said: Have you also thought: Hopefully they saved someone equal…. I for one thought it.

The haute “All I Want for Christmas” Mariah Carey not really out. But the song – and the accompanying confetti orgy're a fundamental part of every Christmas astray Houses. So to speak Berlin World Heritage Site.

I found interesting, I was raised the evening, Trance, big black hairy, which, with the words … “Hello Zoe”… in my view the questions then “You ask yourself probably just, who appeals to you so” – Es war Donna Cutie… A name, I determined since 6 Years know. His person, I have not been seen since… I then made known “Oh, You are really”… That was not nice. So sorry. Nevertheless, nice to meet you.

It was also interesting, To meet Kaye Katcher, Without long eyelashes, ohne Make Up, with stubble… Hard to see… This is probably useful for the time, until he and Voice of Germany are forgotten

Halloween Party Berlin – Halloween Masquerade

Posted on November 4, 2012 by admin

Halloween Masquerade 2012

The Halloween Party at the Silver Wings was already a very substantial Balloween Party, but as usual, the costumes by Bob Youngs Halloween Masquerade blew again all borders.

It's a little like a good fetish party. The music itself does not really matter, the party location can be important, but crucially, the guests and their costumes. They make the party a good or less good – and guests of the Halloween Masquerade they make the best Halloween party in Berlin. Itself, if the location was a little hooked.

Not really – because the location of the Halloween Masquerade was – As in Vorjaht the Old Mint in Berlin – but this has various rooms Gebäudekoplex – large, like last year, and more twisty, as this year. Not quite the right, for the amount and presentation of the incredible Halloween outfits of the guests. Damage.

The Great Halloween Costume Contest was therefore assessed this year even less viewers, namely one of which a) mitbekamen, that the best costume will be awarded and should b) of which, the front of the stairs, took place on the Contest, Court found. Too bad about the trouble the people.

Thus winning then also – While well-made half-dead face, However, that in my eyes was not so special, that it would necessarily have to win. It handed some well-placed friends in the sound meter to win this contest. Well, the way it is. For me it was as I said better costumes on Halloween Masquesrade.

And there was again a lot to see, typical dead and undead, strange creatures, cruel and more cruel forms, the entire Simpsons, and the motto “The Oceans Dead” a lot of dead pirates, and at least a hammerhead shark.
