My Moon My Man

Maybe a man can carry the world. But his knock-knees could become a problem to accomplish this mission.

Statuesque

Loving and/or riding statues in public is super hip! I once proved it and recently found some followers.

And the story continues...


Horst riding the bear in NY...


Horst doing a psycho girl in Brühl...


And finally Horst defeating a pliosaurus in Stockholm and flirting with a dwarf woman in Cologne.

Which animal memorial did you take? Send me your pictures for an adamant photo story! I count on you (especially on you, jamade)!!!

Starring: Fussbroichs

Thanks to my little sister I rediscovered the first German real life tv series. Impressively demonstrating German late 80s middle class kitsch bodybuilder ceramic cats lifestyle. Meet Annemie, Fred, Frank and his hair dresser girlfriend Pia!





Reminds me of Jeremy Scott's short film project Starring with Tori Spelling and Liz Goldwyn. Check it out!

Hackenbroich Architekten did a great job. I guess I need a new haircut! And I have to think about finally painting my bedroom wall dark grey...

Cologne Picks

Best Shop
Heimat
Mauritiuswall 76-78

Bruno Pieters, Veronique Branquinho, Hussein Chalayan. The owners of Heimat also created the fashion fanzine Mode Depesche winning the Lead-Award 2008 for best fashion photography.



Best Interior Design
COS
Ehrenstraße 33-35

The composition of furniture feels overly consequent, effortlessly merging decades and stylistics. Only beaten by the smell of freshly set wooden floor.





Best Selection
Gold
Antwerpenerstr. 13

Gold offers Scandinavian designer brands like S.N.S., Wood Wood, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Vibskov or Whyred. One of our favourites. Always synchronized with the contemporary zeitgeist.



Best Second Hand
Vintage & Rags
Hohenzollernring 47

Unfortunately California Vintage closed its doors, but second hand lovers can still discover nice pieces at Vintage & Rags where I lately found a nice blouson.




Best Cupcakes
Törtchen Törtchen
Alte Wallgasse 2a

For gourmets there's this little, tiny, pink patisserie that offers extremely sexy cakes in a dazzling array.






Best Ice Cream
Breda
Pfeilstr. 2

The most delicious ice cream is sold at this charming, authentically retro parlor near Rudolfplatz. Our recommendation and favourite flavour: coffee crunch.





Best Schnitzel
Oma Kleinmann
Zülpicher Str. 9

The best Schnitzel in town is served at Oma Kleinmann. A Lynn & Horst must. No further instructions needed.






Best Café
Café Wahlen
Hohenstaufenring

If you like to enjoy an afternoon tea in a truly old-fashioned and cozy interior, sitting in armchairs and watching senior citizens, the place to be is Café Wahlen. The retro inspired little coffee house Café Franck is also a must.

A Moment Like This

Once there was a granny. Relaxing and sunbathing in front of the window of a well-known design shop. Maybe she had a mental disorder. Maybe not. But one thing is for sure: she's a lady. A lady with style. A lady with manners. A lady with a smile on her face. No matter how hard life is. No matter how stupid people are starring at her. And last but not least: no matter how expensive the chair is she's sitting on. She's the next generation of a display dummy.
