…are celebrating their 25th birthday! And for this occasion Hasbro invited a few artists to customize their famous character:

Hm, I feel like gettin’ my ponies and going to a play-date now, anyone? ;-) …oh, yes: the green star actually blinks and the one on the far left (still) smells (actually like Guerlain’s Insolence Parfume) Kitsch rules!

Nantes – Beirut (The Flying Cup)

So, yesterday K and I checked out the Sky Kitchen.

Thumbs up:
+ still an awesome idea
+ cool, hip location
+ very good PR (when I left for the party there were almost 1000 attending guests on fb)
+ design. elevator looks like a storage cupboard (time: 23:55), cute design on toilet doors and the lighting is modern and imo very fitting. very, very well done.

Downsides:
- about a million people waiting in queue to get in (time: 22:15)
- never ever again will I wait for (ashamed to admit) over 90min in line to get it. Sorry, not worth it.
- you kinda feel like inbetween a huge load of young Viennese upper east siders (but: + I had fun listening to those high-heeled girly dolls who are stupid as…)
- no AC up there, plus I had the impression they could have fitted in even more people… Compared to teh queue there weren’t that many people inside.

Neutral points (not sure where to put them)
* split personality of the bouncer
* Wenzgasse School revival
* girls get to pee together – jep, 2 toilets in one cabin…

To sum it up: cool location, music and people, but definitly not worth getting in queue for longer than 10min.

Some impressions:

In Munich the Oktoberfest is about to start and here are a few updates on events in Vienna:

FOTOGRAFIS EXHIBITION

“The exhibition FOTOGRAFIS collection reloaded at the Kunstforum in Vienna aims to update positions in the history of photography: stylistic strategies of pictorialism and Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) of yore will be placed side by side with recent works, which will augment the exhibition as loans. Alfred Stieglitz for instance enters into dialogue with Andreas Gursky, Albert Renger-Patzsch with Candida Höfer and James Welling.” According to my mum this is very much worthwhile having a look at.

SKY KITCHEN 11.09.08 *new location*

Rumor has it there is a new location in Vienna. It’s an old cantine on the 7th floor that is now turned into a hip place for hip people to party. Interesting detail: the location has an expiry date: 6 months max, then the building will be torn down. We like idea and the website and not to forget: tonight is the Grand Opening. Btw. that’s what the ORF has to say about the location… LINK

Und, in der Josephstadt hängen Romy Schneider Plakate, leider aus keinem aktuellen Anlass wie ich feststellen musste. Dafür gibts bald coole Romy Shirts, gell Mekka?
