a first boost of inspiration… minimal… trashy and real!
August 12, 2009
Dear friends…
this summer sucks…
breaking up if so painfull it feels like dieing! The pain is not fading!
August is a “good-bye” kind of month and it always brings out the nostalgy that will follow up till mid -end october, leaving space to a cold winter…
these days I am not on holidays anywhere… all my friends stood me up. Nobody gives a fuck or is too busy surviving. So now the time has come for me to do my shit regardless of the others and stop saying always yes! SO here I am saying NO to useless phone calls, silly requests, miserable date offers and boring conversations.
I will have my holidays and they will be spent in Berlin, at home, with the phone off the hook and no e-mails and work. No blood suckers around me any more. Just lazy sublime nothing. A soft summer breeze, a video camera, a photo camera, inspiration and me.
Here is a first boost of inspiration… minimal… trashy and real! after the jump you can see the other four parts of the video as well. enjoy.

Dear friends,
Day three begins… even though everything seems to be veeeeeery slow in Paris in August… Last night… well… actually very early this morning, we made a first shot for the video… on the balcony… eighth floor. The sunrise was beautifull. I will post some pictures soon.
Love,
Ivan
In Paris, just a quick movie away
August 4, 2008
Dear friends,
Here I am, in Paris. It’s holiday time mixed with some pleasure working too. I am here to chill and shoot my new video with my dear friend Olivier, aka: Pipi de freche. I will keep posting all the news in these hot Paris days. I landed at about 11 am and made my way through the city’s subway system all the way from Orly airport to the opposite extreme far end of the city, in the north. The weather here is great. I hope it stays that way for the external shots. We did some quick costume tests today and then I basically went to sleep for a couple of hours because I hadn’t slept much last night. Gotta be fresh for tomorrow
Love,
Ivan

It’s been a Courtney long time
July 30, 2008
Dear friends,
Here is the ultimate Courtney Love! I adore her attitude, her being so fucked up, wasted, consumed, strong, thin, blond, tall, with a big mouth, hungry, rockyness, voice, music, style… this is pretty much the only rock music I can listen to right now. Can’t wait for her new album to come out! It’s been a while and we are all waiting oh so long.
Love you Courtney,
Ivan
Cicciolina’s interview
July 27, 2008
Dear friends,
Cicciolina’s autobiography came out May 2007 and shortly after that she made this radio interview in Italy. It’s a three part interview… click in the post to see the other two parts. Enjoy.
She is really sweet. This interview is in Italian. Her English is not good. I’ve seen her try to speak in English and it didn’t really work great.
Love,
