The Sartorialist

Scott The Sartorialist Schuman is in Amsterdam.

Twiggy & Avedon

One more image, shot by Richard Avedon. Taken by me at Foam museum in Amsterdam. :)

I took this one when I visited the exposition for the second time...with Evelyn! And despite the very small print, this one of Twiggy & Richard Avedon together in a studio in Paris (shot in april 1967) definitely is one of my favorites!

If you're in Amsterdam...go to FOAM!

Gezichten op de eerste dag

- Faces on the first day -

These pics were taken on an event which took place about a week ago. In that week, The Netherlands (well...only Amsterdam) and NYC celebrated their 400th anniversary of friendship!

Lots of parties were organised, open days at museums, debates and...a sample sale(!) from 290 Square Meters.

- Partypeoples -


- DJ duo 'Karel & Sjaak' were playing (hiphop) tunes all evening. But also an old personal hero of mine DJ Evil Dee spun some old school hiphop recordsss...yeaah!! -


- Hat Man -


- Laughing man (hahaha!) and bar girl (hmmmmm...). Free drinks! -

Bezoeker

- visitor -

So, here's the reason why I haven't been bloggin' for a while...


- Taken in Begijnhof. It's a small and very quiet neighbourhood in the middle of the center (next to SPUI)! I've been here once before but didn't knew you could actually live here! -

As you can see, I had a visitor over from a country, far, far away from here. While I gave her a tour through the city, I discovered new streets, shops, shortcuts even a prostitute behind a window in a street where I thought there were no prostitutes at all!


- Damstraat. My visitor came to Amsterdam in the right period, because the sun was shining bright for daaays! The day I took this picture looked like a summer day...although it felt quite chilly sometimes. Brrrr! -

And now I have to get back on working on my thesis about...'weblog'. :)

Sample sales

Hm......don't you just love spontaneous moments?

When you wake up in the morning, most of the time you already know what you're gonna do the whole day.
But sometimes, you have to schedule unexpected invitations, unplanned dates, unplanned event visits, sample sales you didn't know of (just a few hours before it actually takes places)!


- Browsing through 15 euro Cheap Monday jeans -
Please help me out: I need to know the name of the first track of the fashion show, shown on the Cheap Monday website: 'Fashion Show Clip AW 09'

So, last friday, I had a tight schedule:

Me waking up at 7 am in the morning thinking: 'Where am I...? Oh right, I'm in 'E-town', at my parents' place...shit, I have to go to the dentist in 1.5 hour!'

After my dentist appointment, I had to go back to Amsterdam...with my dad being the driver of a rented van: I moved to a new place in Amsterdam. That's why I went back to E-Town to get the rest of my stuff. So right now, I don't live in the most coziest place of Amsterdam anymore (de Pijp). I moved to Amsterdam-East. For me, that's the same like going back to the ghet-towwwwww! The Big Boss is back in towwwwwn!!.

Yeah. Last friday. I went to an unplanned event (I had to take a break from packing out stuff and decorating my new room):

Streetlab organised a sample sale - fashion - music - drinks selling (ridiculously low priced!!!) cloths. I've seen a lot of Cheap Monday (Swedish brand!) stuff. I bought one black Cheap Monday t-shirt, because I am broke-as-a-joke. I will post a pic of myself wearing the tee...when it's hot, hot, hot, hot here in Amsterdam. :P


- DJ duo called 'HOMEWORK' -


- There was only one other photographer at the event-


- People were just taking their cloths off behind some clothing racks (fitting area?). I had a short but sweet meeting with these two lovely ladies in the back...........Mmm hm. -

More to come this week.
