das ist meine letzte woche in barcelona ohne es sein zu dürfen. ich muss noch soviel machen, soviel sehen. es zerrt im moment sehr an mir gehen zu müssen und so wirklich verstanden habe ich es noch nicht. mein leben hier ist fast perfekt, ausgenommen davon dass ich bettelarm bin. aber wen interessiert das bei tollen leuten, die ich nur in 5 monaten zu engen freunden gemacht hab, bei einer stadt in der alles schön sein kann trotz armer ecken, trotz gestank im sommer. eine großstadt in der es nicht schwer ist ruhige momente zu finden. ich kann es nicht realisieren, weil ich im moment sehr eingenommen bin. zum ersten mal verzichte ich sogar zu veranstaltungen zu gehen die mir gefallen, und trotzdem bin ich extrem müde. gestern hat die brandery angefagen. ohne viel aufwand haben wir uns ein hübsches eckchen eingerichtet in den fashionfreax farben. fashionfreax hat zum ersten mal einen stand und die brandery ist pompöser als je zuvor. riesenplakate die das mächtige messegebäude elitär wirken lassen. aber es ist ja nur die modeelite. auf so einem event muss man mindestens ein vintageteil anhaben. sieht aus wie von der omi, aber hat trotzdem ein vermögen gekostet. grad die reicheren trimmen sich auf superarm. jeder stil hat seine kosten. wir laufen rum und machen fotos von den "stylishsten". lustig, wenn sie sich dafür schämen dass ihr pulli ausm h&m ist. und grad die coolsten wollen ihr foto haben. narzissmus ist ne klasse marktstrategie, genauso wie leinentaschen, um die sich alle reissen.
so jetzt melden sich alle tollen menschen brav bei fashionfreax an und machens ganz groß!

dangerous
one would say..now stop posting a gazillion musicvideos and go back to work. seems like the old man on the swing was the last thing i´ve drawn. well no, but to be honest, the rest is crap. after receiving the invitation from berlin it would occur to everyone that it is getting serious now, but it is the opposite. i feel more or less paralyzed and do very little. welcome distraction...i know all the new scrubs episodes now. i was sceptical like everyone of course. but seeing it as another series and not as scrubs helps me finding it funny. atleast cox is there...
back to what actually this post is about. i´ve sown 3 dresses without finishing them. it´s too big of a deal for me to actually finish something. because seeing at the end that it´s not the way it´s supposed to be drives me insane. so i do it when i have to have it finished, when i´m stressed and don´t have the time for many attempts.
but today i have finished one that gives ana, who is going to wear it for my photo terrible nightmares. black fake leather, low cut-back, short, shoulderpads, needles stinging out of the shoulders, dangerously close to the face.
pictures soon!

trajes tradiconales
Además del enorme buffet que siempre hay en bodas afganas, el baile de attan siempre es el apogeo de la fiesta. Los jóvenes de la familia del novio y de la novia bailan con trajes tradicionales para llevar la henna festiva con velas y pintar las manos de los que no se han casado aun, dándoles suerte para que se casen pronto y tengan felicidad y fertilidad en su matrimonio.
Yo normalmente esquivo la tradición. Claro que los trajes son preciosos, pero da bastante pereza cambiarse, ponerse un montón de joyas y cargar con todo el peso, y como las bodas casi siempre son en verano, sudas la gota gorda. Además que te desmayas después de dar 1000 vueltas en el baile que cada vez se baila más rápido con una música más rápida, pero siempre se ha hecho igual. Prefiero verlo todo con mi cámara en las manos. Por eso todos mis fotos son viejas...

noah and the whale
always having been a fan of mystery jets (and i still believe their version of pioneers is better than the original) led me to the beautiful music of laura marling. here you´ve got the connection to noah and the whale which i found coincedentally looking through her music. before becoming popular as an solo artist she was a member of the band. i wish i had discovered noah and the whales music 2 years ago. but still does this beautiful, melancholic, sometimes absurd music meke me happy for half a year now. my friend who went to see phoenix in frankfurt 2 months ago was more delighted by them as the opening act as by the ones who she went there for. also was she worried why those sweet guys look so poor. the fan entries on their facebook page show how lovable they are. listening to their current album makes me waiting unpatiently for the first day of spring. hope you love the folky ukulele too!
utterly amazing!

some dresses i wore over the years
i´m starting to make some posts in english and spanish también... well as my afghan origin forces me i´ve got to go to a shitload of weddings. and of course, you don´t want to wear the same dress everytime, you don´t even dare. since they are about 300-400 persons at one wedding and the families are huge, there is always someone who has seen you in that dress. and afghan people tend to talk a looot because gossip is very popular. basically the content of every conversation of the women. i´m not critisizing...it´s a cultural aspect. but it´s fun to listen to it. "have you seen gulbuddins wife, omg is she pregnant again?"
afghan weddings have a lot of beautiful traditions, which i´ve seen too often to be wanting to talk about them now. but an important one is the attan dance in traditional dresses, which i´ll post sometime soon.
i mostly miss everything waiting desperately for the huge buffet, like everyone. we do have another perception of time.
those are some dresses i wore. i thought i had more pictures, but hardly any good ones unfortunately. almost every dress is sewn by me. the coral one is my prom dress. i´ll have to take better pictures in the future!

frohes neues jahr
wünsche ich allen. ich hoffe ihr habt alle im sekundentakt 12 trauben gegessen und hattet rote unterwäsche an. hier in spanien bedeutet das glück fürs ganze jahr. mein glück war es bisher den ganzen tag schlafen zu können bis 23 uhr. um ehrlich zu sein war das eher katastrophal und musste sein aufgrund von auslaugung und einem von blauen flecken übersähtem körper. erstes jahr ohne feuerwerk, 1000 mal besser und ruhiger. dachte ich zumindest. endete aber leider nicht so. das wars dazu. ich hoffe ihr habt alle euer jahr so begonnen wie ihr es wolltet.
