The most horrible countries in the world
Favell Lee Mortimer (1802-1878) never left England and yet wrote a travel guide. Her book was titled ‘The most horrible countries in the world’ (1850) and she definitely did not want to spark interest in foreign countries. Her knowledge derived exclusively from books and as the pessimist she was, she was convinced that it is best to stay at home.

FLEX II
Entrance to the FLEX
The FLEX club was founded as an underground club, venue for punks and cultural centre in 1989/1990. Later it moved from the Arndtstraße to an abandoned underground shaft, where it is still located. The club became a big success which resulted in a debate about its increasing commercialization.

Pretty Flamingo
This photo reminded me so much of the song “Pretty Flamingo”. It was written by Mark Barkan and first performed by Manfred Mann in 1966. I can not listen to it any more since I was on hold for a very long time trying to reach a big company in Austria.

In case you did not know, on 29th May 1953 the top of the Mount Everest was reached for the first time.

Life Ball 2013
As tonight the Life Ball 2013 takes place here in Vienna, I want to pay homage to the people who fought the exclusion and stigmatization of individuals suffering from HIV or AIDS. This year’s fashion show is brought to you by Roberto Cavalli, who was among the first designers to show at the annual ball.
