funny little berlin beg in my bunk bed

, fuck Alice, ...
This is a massive advertisment for a phone company, they did heaps anticipation campaigning,.. saying alice is coming alice is coming. with these massive pictures of her then, ´she`was just a phone company. so some wicked feminst activitist climbed the scaffolding a cut sexism out of the image.. yeah wuckin ha!

No NEED FOR A VICTOR MOWER
this is a small part of the Mauer Park, which most of the amazing landscape design features are brilliantly unoticable because of the graffiti! but this is a scene where, like every park in berlin the maintenance is very low. like tiergarten is more like a forest rather than a park. this is people hiding amongst the brushes chilling out getting a little bit a space.

east german kids fo sho

what is a better thing to do in what is the former site of the ´death strip´between the east west dividing walls... Its amazing the way that berlin and germany has taken responsiblitly for its past. Through design, arts, culture... in so many ways there is acknowledgment of what has happened on this land. if only Australia could fucking well do the same thing... Although this photo is of a purely recreational space there is an abundance of places that you are just unable to escape remembering. these i wont post on the blog...

Rot und Blau Thema Berlin ALTERNATIVE CSD

transgenialer CSD/AlternativePolitical Berlin Gay Pride

To prepare for the DykeTrans March 2007 the Collective had a spot at the Transgenialer CSD to do a promo. At first we thought to do a performance. So we worked on this fun show, but then time constraints and the never ending flow of discussion content we decided to do a speech instead. The speech was intentionally vague and we confused abot what we where talkign about an why. This was intended to be a tool to invite more people to come to the meetings and have discussion queer politics and about what it means to have a dyke trans march. it went well, except we where on really late and so instead of listening to a speech most people wanted performance or music, saun and i definately included!But since saun and i worked on that project we,ve become close mates... so good things come from not the most exciting projects!
Saun made a short doco of this speech and parade so ... if ya want it i can send it.
10 years ago they started charging a fee to have a van in the mainstream CSD demonstration. Of course this coincides with politics being droped from the agenda of the parade and comercialistion taking it over. But 10 years ago the alternative crew turned their van around and strated there own. Its great to be able to be a part of the `CSD`but also not have to be around all the mainstream pink dollar shit...

MOTHERS; CHURCHES; CASTLES; ROCKS AND ITALY
So mum popped over to europe for a quick cuppa. and i though hey lets go to italy and eat pasta and see the coast, enjoy the weather. Instead we spent 3 days in Rome seeing every old stone, church, buiilding statue, painting, tower, rock, cathedral, did i mention old stones, statues, museum, had a crayk at Opera, but bailed on that and went to back to the Vatican for the evening experience!
look it was all a bit much for me, but jee wizz can Mum look at stuff. after a while one Mchaelangelo painting looked like a carravaggio! nah.. it was great going to Rome with mum. i think if a hadn,t of gone with her i wouldn,t have been keen on doing a lot of things we did. But i guess thats what Rome is. This crazy hell old city, by the end of the trip i was proud to where my Michelangelo t-shirt!

other than that .... alls ist egal! neh nicht wahr!! du musst fragen!

The G8 and Political Performance

Demonstrations can be a place of hostility, aggression and anxiety. These are mostly valid emotions when up against a system and society that represses in so many ways. Performers at demonstrations are able to firstly interact with bystanders in a humourous and engaging way. Making the issues obvious and simplyfied and can potentially entice interest in the issues. and secondly performers can break the hostility between police and demonstrators in a smartarse, sarcastic kinda way. so calling calling... who wants to dress and go to the stress with me in Melbourne when i return?

Transgendered Film Fest Amsterdam

Trannies and queers from all over the world flocked to Amsterdam for a a wicked line up of transfilms and discussion panals. Trans parenting, trans porn, trans politics, trans performance, trans photography and trans (P?)queer experiences... I was amazed at the infrasturction and support for such an event, if only Australia could have been there. Maybe theres a way...

Warsaw CSD - Gay Pride

It was only 2 years ago that it became legal for the Gay pride March to be held in the capital of Poland Warsaw.I had been warned prior to going that there would be many nazi,s and opppositional demonstrators. Numerous poeple had retold the story of how last year a German person was imprisoned at the demonstration. But in my experience i wondered what could have happened to imprison someone because it felt so peace loving a rainbow flag happy! There where of course oppositional demonstrators that the police kept seperated. For met The demonstration felt a little a-political and now that the gay and lesbian comunity can be out and proud on one day of the year and the rest of the year earn the pink dollar they are happy But i,m sure for many Polish queeers they are enjoying every smll success against the heavily catholic and right wing nation... so i was totally happy to celebrate and support them... I guess this is an instance where the EU has been able to make countries accountable for discrimnation and prejudice(?)

Will and Marti together for Vonne

when i die, you must dance!

Hier steh ich schwankend auf dem Tisch.Was die Leute denken, interessiert mich nicht.
Und ich sing vom Leben. Sing vom Tod.Durch das Fenster schimmert das Abendrot.Heyo. Hey das Glas in der Hand.Zerspringen soll es gleich an der Wand.Was soll das Jammern. Mir ist nicht bang.Wenn der Sensemann bittet zum letzten Tanz.

Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.

Die Augen rollen und das Glas zerspringt.
Ich geniess es. Wie es in den Ohren klingt.
Verspotte das Leben. Verachte den Tod.Durch das Fenster schimmert das Abendrot.Ich will den Suff und die Liebe pur.Keine halben Sachen. Denn da läuft die Uhr.Heut soll keiner klagen. Lieber mal was wagen.
Bis der Sensemann bittet zum letzten Tanz.

Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.

Nochmal Wasser des Lebens an der Liebesbar.
Und schon war es das hier unten. Alles klar.Doch von da oben lässt es sich gut loben.Hallelulia. Alles wunderbar.Heyo. Hey die Zeit verrinnt.
Und ich geniess es. Wenn der Himmel swingt.Vergib dem Leben. Vergib dem Tod.Über den Wolken schimmert das Abendrot.


Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.

"kings queens and for all those in between!"

so performing with the Kings of Berlin, Spicey Tigers on Speed, singers, spoken word, monologues and other perfect pink fun things. i though oh no im not sure what... after having had such a long break from performance and inspiration was lost. i think now i am finding a place for something new and exciting. and whats more after seeing so much progressive and bizarre performance and arts i think i will soon find again my i would like to put myself on stage.

As i evolve from the 18 year old who first performed to Shannon Noll i think instead of rejecting (oder refusing) to peform anymore i am enjoying having the time and spce to re-think about why i want to put my body on stage. What do i want to get out of it and what do i want the audiance to see. After my show i was asked to perform at the Queers Against G8 benefit gig, and i thought cool i can bring the issues of globalisationa nd capiltalism into my drag and was totally excited and inspired to do so...(but i am going to Queer Pride in Poland that weekend) but atleast i am realising that the stage is a place where i can express myself and there will be mroe opportunties in the future.
