SUNDAY HAPPY SUNDAY

 

Another Sunday at sunrise I spent leisurely breakfasting at the prestigious Kranzler cafe. Herr Beolas and Herr Clarrington seem to have been busy last night putting up the Christmas decorations.

Unter den Linden "dressed up".

The UFA "dressed up".

The Opera House "dressed up". By the way, they are showing the Nutcracker ballet there tonight!!! there hasn't been a show in ages. Oh! and I caught the belly of the beast in the sky!!, hey Zeppe(lin)!!

My lovely rival, Gyna, came to share a quick coffee, very unexpectedly — she is quite the night bird.

I took to the Babylon to watch the latest matinee,  "UP THE LADDER". And yes, I am one of those annoying people who cannot watch a movie at the Odeon without planting a lot of pocorn on the carpets, not to talk of the soundtrack I end up adding to the movie! But I seriously cannot stay still in the theater if it's not with a bucket of the stuff, and a huge one at that. Apologies.

And back home (yes, my new home in the Tiergarten) with some time to read while Dimple prepares luncheon. 

Happy Sunday Berlin!! 

3 TIERGARTEN ZELTENALLEE

What a great way to end a busy day ; the keller of course. Alma? I am sure I've seen her somewhere...

And no other than our beautiful (and very literate) Zoe, who has been travelling through the UK and France accompanied by the best boy in town (a book ... or two, they are not jealous and the best company ever)

And the 1920s couple par excellence, Tequila and her moustached "Solstice" as lovely as ever (though how I love pulling his leng by God, nor that he doesn't enjoy it also...)

It's uncunny how I always lose, even when I play against myself <sighs> 

and why was I so busy today, you wonder... are you ready? ...

yep... another property!!! this time ...

this time, to celebrate the successful (at last) take off of my latest novel, (The Vicious Robot, you can't miss it, you'll find it at every book store in town, what are you waiting for??) I rented a huge plot in the Tiergarten (Zeltenallee, 3), it costs an arm an a leg, but I can at last live in the luxury I deserve (until I run out of juice, then I will have to rid of another hus... I'll have to sell some furniture and stick to the city) 

And this is the house, unusual, made just for me, isn't she something? there is even a hidden room in there where all sorts of naughtiness happens. 

Sleep tight my darlings, don't let RL kick your ass. It's all a dream, all of it, try and enjoy while you can and ride swiftly the rest. 

 

PS _ feel free to visit, whether I am there or not, my homes are always unlocked. Enjoy

xx 

Connie.
 

Beauty and The Poor.

 It all started very innocently this morning, sunrise drive to the Tiergarten to inspect my new land. The builders haven't arrived yet so it's just a lot of ... grass. While next door my most "hated" writing rival, Gyna, enjoys 2 plots exuding luxury. Then breakfast at the Kranzler while Berlin slept still. 

But on my way home, who turns up brandishing a sword? A commie of course! these bloody leftists know nothing of common curtsy. Her Cice's first visit to my imposing abode, and neighbourhood, and he points his thing at me. I didn't take it sitting down and drew my laser gun, zapping him into oblivion...I thought. Perhaps I should have taken it sitting down after all, or even lying face down on the floor, considering what Herr Cice pulled out next ...

Yes, it was indeed a bazooka he kindly shot at me, well, at my whole property. My Landlady is not going to be a happy bunny. 

The moral of the story is... move to a gated community. And if you can't, just praise the size of their metal and invite them to a cup of tea and a tour of your property. Don't go pointing any type of weapon at them!!

PS- My Gy... my "most hated" rival, Gyna also visited, but I was too busy squeezing her hand under the table to remember taking a photo of the three of us together.

CONNIE MAECENAS

 

Renate Bathing by K. Vogel

Splendid morning: 

- Halloween preparations in Space

- Coffee in the little secret cafe behind the grocery store with Mitch who is back in Berlin and soon painting too.

- And, talking of painting, visit to the Solo Club where I met the creations of a new artist, K. Vogel! in an overzealous Mecenas-impulse I had to buy them all. Unfortunately, German Marks I have, prims (does anyone actually know what prims are? like... for real??) I don't, according to my RL driver. And therefore I had to store a few very cherished pieces including Sonatta's photo, which has accompanied me for years since I moved into this house. I could store the car away, and then I would have plenty of prims to decorate the whole house, but the car outside is a mark of distinction! of class even! and I have to somehow compensate my poor diction and behavior with a sad materialistic piece of metal for now. 

- And to finish the "hyper-procastinativity" attack, a bit of piano playing, watched by the characters of those magical paintings. yeah yeah... I'll go upstairs to write in a minute. I have promised Herr Toe to turn the dream I had last night into a story for his magazine. There's no escape now. 

Bis später

Big Daddy is back for the winter, less speed but also... less casualties including streetlamps in Berlin.

Perfect spot, so we can keep an eye on Big Daddy.

Herr Toe, who kindly donated the walls of his Solo Club so the new artist K. Vogel can delight us all (all but our prim-thirsty drivers).

What can I say, what can I say, I still have it... the car that is <cough cough > 

They look good, eh? and what about my pipesmokingpianoplaying style? unique, I know, the melodies sound a bit flat with only one hand but who cares when one looks that good... 

Küsse!! 

LUNAPARK - FINAL WEEK !!

No time for comments as yet, they will follow, just a few photos. If you have time this week, rush to the Tiergarten before it disappears ! Well worth it. Poor Clarrington, all that work!! 

BEFORE I FORGET

 Oh yeah mon dieu !!! El Dorado again, after a looooong time. And Pauline graced me with a dance (first time ever). 

Our Dorita, in one of my favorite costumes of hers, introduced the drag party next week, which this time includes a couple's section. Just as I am single for the first time in my life(s), I better rush! I have six days, arrffff

Miss Kelly Callaghan making me miss the Deep South... ahem, she's gone a long way since the first time she set foot on that stage. Lovely performance, and lovely tunes by Herr Byron as always. I was too hypnotized to remember taking some naughty photos, sorry.

Cice minus Oda, poor thing. He is not quite the same when she is missing. And my lovely Pauline!!! aysss so many lovely ladies and so little time!

And the smoldering Herr Byron of course, with his impeccable taste in music, and, errr... well looks of course <blush>

And the deliciously and completely irreverent Maxyyyyy with his magic ... ahem... fingers... I am talking about the piano of course <cough cough>

One of my favorite couples in the whole wild world, and then some: Dorita and Leigsha. 

Magical Mystery Tour and Malli

Here Moi playing it cool in front of the new cigarette boy (Ibo Carpenter Huysmans) who kindly let me smoke his cigar <grins>. To my right Daphne Anka (I hope I got her name right, I haven't been formally introduced and the bubbly has made my eyes... lazy)

Night night "beautifuls", my driver works tomorrow (I need to find myself another driver, mine is too boring. Any takers??) Sweet and saucy dreams, Berlin!!
