Every time, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week comes to Berlin, which is two times a year, I start getting crazyâ€¦ I love to meet all these amazing people and get in touch with their own personal history. Yesterday there was an event, that was really worth coming â€“ The Fashion Rock Night 2012 at Kesselhaus / Kulturbrauerei was the final highlight of this springâ€™s fashion week. Why? Because it was not about posing elegant posing, it was not about just getting fashion runways photographed, it was not about shining in the paparazziâ€™s flashlights (well, a bit). It was about people. Again, I just love what I do. Because the mass of people I get to know by just looking the way I look give me such an amazing feeling â€“ I just feel like doing the right thing.
The evening already had a great beginningâ€¦ Instead of throwing ourselves into the people masses on the BBB, we enjoyed an amazing dinner with Phillippe and Micky at La Cocotte â€“ if you ask me, the most wonderful French Restaurant Berlin has to offer. After that we arrived at Fashion Rocknight 2012 â€“ way too early. Way too early meansâ€¦ nobody was there *looo* So who says drag queens are always too late?? So what do you do when you got lots of time? Of course: Hit the next spot and have a cocktail. So right now I have to mention a restaurant called â€œQueso y Jamonâ€, which offered us a warm place and some delicious free drinks. So even though it might look a bit strange showing up with a paper cup, we took our strawberry marguerita to go and finally hit the red carpet.
Rock Fashion Night is just an extraordinary event, far away from all neon lighted and perfect runways. It is about people like you and me. No matter if your whole body is tattooed way up to you chin, you like to appear all dressed in latex or all casual â€“ everything is possible. This is what makes this event so unique, the live concert just melts into the fashion presentation: You wonâ€™t get bored.
