The organization of the GIF Exhibition has been pretty demanding these past days and I haven’t even had the chance to go through all the Blitz party photos from last Friday. I won’t be able to actually upload them until the end of the week. So until then I am at least giving you this glamourous little animated teaser!
This week have some more opportunities to get awesome Christmas gifts for you at various sales and art events. Musician Brian Ferry is having his first art exhibition in Berlin and the Blitz party is throwing a Christmas party in New Romantics style… This and much more in the event guide after the jump!

We have always been a very colorfull site. But we have to admit that in the last couple of weeks we turned into the crazy costume-party site number one. Where did all the minimal and understatement go? Well, obviously far away from here.
This week i had an interesting conversation about how parties are transforming into theater stages where people are portraying characters they would like to be instead of just being themselves. Are we loosing control of our self-image? Are we becoming the superheroes of our childhood with a secret identity that only shows on certain occasions and parties? If that’ the case then we might have to adapt to it. And fashion has to adapt to this need as well. What some years ago would have been tasteless is becoming mainstream this year. I am speaking about crazy colors and pattern mixes. (And I’m not only speaking about the gaudiness that is Versace collaborating with highstreet fashion giant H&M.)
Beautifully elaborate and interesting is the work of young fashion artist Tom Van der Borght from Belgium. We saw his collection in July at Berlin Fashion Wek and were really impressed. The editorial shoot that I discovered in Honk-Magazine is as amazing as the fashion pieces. But see it for yourself after the jump.
Has it already been one year? Wow, this one passed by in a flash, or better, a Blitz! On Friday the fabulous Blitz Party celebrated its first birthday at Berghain Kantine and it was one of the most fun editions of this party. Have a look at our impressions of the night after the jump on 3 pages including some fun animations!

The only advantage the time of darkness and cold holds in store is a good amount of parties and longer nights. Warm your ice cold hearts with music at the following parties, warmly recommended after the jump:

This week we have a couple of interesting readings (in German though), concerts by Digitalism and Heatstick, some promissing urban art exhibitions and the birthday Blitz party. This and much more after the jump.
Unlike the animated party photos this regular photo set of the recent Blitz Party will not give you an epileptic shock when looking at them in the wrong angle for too long 😉 Enjoy on two pages after the jump.
It took me almost a whole day to prepare and upload the latest Blitz party photos. But this is gonna be my favorite party photo set of all time with no doubt! Thanks to the party makers and of course the party people for such a fun night. We’ll start today with the first part of the photos: the animated photos! Have some fun after the jump, and come back tomorrow for the rest of the photos…

We are still in the middle of the Kunstherbst with more major art events going on. This week we have the big STROKE urban art fair, some knitting action, la grand dame Tori Amos live, la dame bizarre Planningtorock, another Blitz rival, a Weekday event, the big Kunstnacht party and much more… after the jump.
Here, finally, are some lovely impressions of the fourth edition of the glamorous Blitz party that took place on Friday at Horst. Enjoy it with a couple of animated photos spread over 2 pages after the jump! If you don’t want to miss the next one, join their Facebook group.
