Flower Power Cat

Here's the creative output of my weekend:

I made a cat!

Out of some vintage 70ies-fabric and little flowers I crocheted and a boa because every cat needs a little glamour, don't you think?

Art and Color, an Hommage to Andy Warhol

I am obsessed by colors, some colors can, just like music or a certain smell or taste, provoque emotions that are very strong. Memories of times long ago, very special moments, sometimes pure happiness.

The artist who has always impressed me most is Andy Warhol. He gave art a complete new face, litterally. 

I especially love his portraits and his flowers.

And I like his way of living art in different forms, paintings, prints, photographies, music, general lifestyle and his opinions.

The world fascinates me...

PS: my favourite living artist? Someone who uses color the way AW did. I really admire the artwork of

Viva la Diva

Always be yourself

Divas, they have style, they are eccentrics, they are not trying to look "young" but they still are amazing, maybe even more now, than when they were young. 

When you're a woman and you're young and beautiful, things are easy. People love beauty, everybody likes to look a you, everybody thinks you're a nice person because you look like a nice person. Sometimes you are in danger to lose your personality because of your beauty. When I was young, I looked like a porcelain-doll. I had white skin, a perfect complexion, long dark hair, dark blue eyes and I was slim. But very often, I had the impression, that people didn't look at me, they just saw the facade. 

Then came Punk and I cut my hair ultra short punk style. I wore DocMartens boots. I colored my hair in weird colors. My boss said I wouldn't look like a woman anymore. The other girls at the office thought it was great but said they would never have the courage, because their boyfriends wouldn't like it. Wow!

I style myself for myself and never ever to please a man! So that's another reason why I love the women in my Diva-list, and maybe you can imagine why some women are not on this list.

PS: there's a minus for Anna Piaggi because she wears real fur and a plus for Pamela Anderson because she supports PETA

PS2: I still have the dark blue eyes ;-)

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

about ageing

"I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you" -   --  Marilyn Monroe
