So i was invited to attend this years austrian Film Awards. Had no idea what would await me or how this "Gala" evening would turn out. my make-up and hair for the evening.  I used MAC cosmetics and Kèrsastase styling Products What should i say, with austrian Filmmakers its kinda like with austria its self. Very subtil and a fast "get it over with so that we can finally clear the bar" attitude ;) Ursular Strauss & Stefan Ruzowitzky gave a introduction and talked about the Budget shortening (of 50%) for austrian film as FATAL to the local film-industry. But this is not a bad thing as i see it. The Award show was hosted by  one of my favorite actors Karl Markovic - he did a really good job (quite the goat jokes next time, not so funny). One must say that most of the people present hat excellent taste in fashion especially Julia Cepp (she won best Costume with SHIRLEY, VISIONS OF REALITY) wore a lovely black fringe dres...

The night from the 29th on the 30th of september is to me what "new years eve" is for a lot of people. I normally go out and buy a bottle of wine before the shops close. Go home and get out my notepad and think about what happened the last year. What did i do wrong What did i do right What can i do different or better next year What should i do more often What was the best and worst thing in my last year Who of the people i surround myself with are good and who are bad. I find the idea quite nice of treating your birthday as the actual "new years eve" I would like to say that i am not really into birthdays - and i really tried every year so far to keep birthday events to a minimum - but this year i told myself: "You can not pretend as if you would only have 5 friends, be happy for the people who are dear to you and be thankful that their number is great and getting bigger every year" The clock hit 00:01 a.m. and i ha...

Listening to Portugal the man after a rather jading concert at viennas WUK yesterday shows that the track "Modern Jesus" really is good. Also i have to say that the religious views of the video and the lyrics are appealing to me. Anyhow.  I spent the night at my BFFs place and grand Video producer Anna Spanlang. We watched Aladin(yes the Disney movie) and had a blast. Best thing about it were the pancakes the next day ;) This was basically the whole concert for me, dark an sticky. They played one song after the other without a break and not once did they speak to their fans.  -Hey! don't through stones at me! just saying that i would do differently if my gig would be sold out AND NOW!!  THE EMMY AWARDS 2013 first of all i have to say that we had a lot of glamour on the red carpet this year! A lot of color a lot of Bling a lot of courage! -makes it even better for me do DISS Ya'll now! MUAHAHA Worst dressed: ...

I never mentioned who i was with at the festival :) My close friend and great actress Claudia Kainberger ( her Blog ) was so kind to let me and filmmaker Anna Spannlang  ( her Blog ) crash on her couch for the 3 days. Also in town was Bernd Oppl , he actually showed his short experimental Film "Hotel Room" Speaking of Anna and Bernd, we went out one night to the Papierfabrik in graz (hot new place to be we were told). It was more some older hippie guy playing his 60s records and Motown favorites. Which is not so bad but actually everyone just wanted to shake their booty to electronic music ;) Somehow we stayed until 4:30 though i think. On the way home Bernd had a great idea - due to the fact that i was thursday evening (WE KNOW! actually friday morning duh!)- he came out and told us that he was .... watching Germanys next Topmodel!! We were shocked! but decided to crash with him in his great "Hotel Room" - HA! The next morning we snuck into the lobby and had...
