<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br /><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dear readers,</span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">let me tell you a
story. Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved to paint her nails. She
enjoyed combining different polishes, making nail art, and buying new polish.
She even blogged about it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">But then one day
she realised she had used only two polishes for the last four months. She didn’t
have time for nail art anymore, and the sight of the polishes in her drawer now
filled her with anxiety, not pleasure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">With a heavy
heart, she decided to sell some of her polishes. She kept a few, but the others
she posted on her blog for sale so that others might give them a better home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Yes, I’m having a
blog sale. </b>Yes, there’s tons of awesome, <b>once-swatched indies</b> up for grabs (and even a few unopened ones).
There’s also some commercial<b> high-end and drugstore polishes</b>, and some polishes that have been used
more than a few times. These will be clearly marked and priced lower.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Buying more gets
you cheaper polishes:</b> Buy 5, get the 6th one (of equal or lower value) free,
buy 10 and you get 3 (of equal or lower value) free. If you’re buying more than
that, I’ll be sure to throw in some extras!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Prices are in
Euro, but since <b>payment is via Paypal,</b> you don’t have to worry about that – you
can set it to pay in € and it will apply its conversion rate and charge you in
your home currency.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Shipping </b>is from
Austria, so it’s a great opportunity for Europeans to get some of those indie
polishes without customs and with cheaper shipping. I’ll be in<b> Germany</b> in early
July and can post packages from there at domestic rates for Germans (and cheaper rates for others than from Austria), same with
the<b> UK </b>in late July. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Overseas shipping,
however, is pretty expensive, but might be worth it for out-of-stock polishes,
that’s up to you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">The first part of
the blog sale (indie polishes) will be going up today, the second part
(high-end commercial and drugstore polishes) probably tomorrow. You can reserve
items for 72 hours.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">But now let’s get
back to the story, because there is a happy end. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Our heroine
decided she’d just use the polishes left over for a while and see if she felt
like blogging. She wasn’t done with nail art completely, she felt, just waiting
for inspiration.</span></div>

Hey there, dear readers!<br />
<br />
It's been a while since I posted geeky nail art, so how about some River Song? <br />
<br />
I didn’t think I’d have that much to write about her but once I started, a whole post happened. Because she is wonderful and mad and at first I didn’t like her at all but it’s hard to resist the lure of someone so badass and resourceful. I confess, I was jealous of what she had with the Doctor, but now I’m rather more jealous of what the Doctor had with her. And I just know we’d be best buddies, because I’d ask something and she’d be all “Shh, spoilers!” and I’d be all “Thanks for the warning, never mind then – in fact, please don’t tell me, I hate spoilers!” and then she’d grin at me and snog me with her psychedelic lipstick and wait, what? Did I type that out loud?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Po7yYQpXeY8/UyRY8KKMaNI/AAAAAAAAB-0/4XA9CzqDXxE/s1600/P8036490+%28620x465%29.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Po7yYQpXeY8/UyRY8KKMaNI/AAAAAAAAB-0/4XA9CzqDXxE/s1600/P8036490+(620x465).jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Right, let’s get back to the lady herself. I have two wonderful polishes dedicated to her: <i>Melody Malone aka River Song</i> from LynBDesigns and <i>Hello, Sweetie </i>from Nail Pattern Boldness. (Well, actually I have three, but I'll have to feature LynBDesigns' <i>Bespoke Psychopath </i>some other time.) Interestingly, they’re all varying shades of purple. It’s not like she wears a lot of purple, but somehow the colour seems right for her.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s2iFEddv6hk/UyRY6tI_iFI/AAAAAAAAB-c/Wrd4FjyR140/s1600/P8036446+%28466x620%29.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s2iFEddv6hk/UyRY6tI_iFI/AAAAAAAAB-c/Wrd4FjyR140/s1600/P8036446+(466x620).jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
For nail art, I chose her alter ego Melody Malone as shown on the cover of the book the Doctor is reading in The Angels Take Manhattan <span style="font-size: x-small;">(then they take Berlin)</span>. Did you know that this story has actually been published as a book and, more importantly, as an audiobook read by River Song herself? I got it from Audiogo but you can also get it directly from the BBC store and other places. <br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WVV9zWCjehI/UyRY8QclfII/AAAAAAAAB-w/exlJgKIqVq4/s1600/P8036492+%28620x461%29.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PtbDmbs5xUQ/UyRY9tcVg5I/AAAAAAAAB_M/kBpNaExT7ys/s1600/P8036500+%28620x465%29.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GvTw000JxCw/UyRY6Nr8a8I/AAAAAAAAB-A/Wu-_3DnxASI/s1600/P8036431+%28620x383%29.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GvTw000JxCw/UyRY6Nr8a8I/AAAAAAAAB-A/Wu-_3DnxASI/s1600/P8036431+(620x383).jpg" height="246" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I think it looks better before the addition of the smoking gun, because that causes the lines to muddle up, but I thought it was a good look for <i>Hello, Sweetie</i> as well so I just added three coats of that on top of <i>Melody Malone aka River Song </i>for the second look.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PtbDmbs5xUQ/UyRY9tcVg5I/AAAAAAAAB_M/kBpNaExT7ys/s1600/P8036500+%28620x465%29.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PtbDmbs5xUQ/UyRY9tcVg5I/AAAAAAAAB_M/kBpNaExT7ys/s1600/P8036500+(620x465).jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a> </i></div>
<i><br /></i>
<i>Melody Malone aka River Song </i>spreads nicely and evenly like the other LynBDesigns shown in this post, though I did have some striping on the first layer. It’s a gorgeous lilac full of golden sparkles, pretty and still something you might be able to pull off at work. Like River, there are hidden depths to it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C7Ol7Z60rvs/UyRHk1RpDwI/AAAAAAAAB8M/wcLfsbTE_wc/s1600/P8036409+%2528620x437%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C7Ol7Z60rvs/UyRHk1RpDwI/AAAAAAAAB8M/wcLfsbTE_wc/s1600/P8036409+%2528620x437%2529.jpg" height="281" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<i>Hello, Sweetie </i>by Nail Pattern Boldness is simply glorious! The translucent reddish purple base is filled with gold, black and red glitter and spreads beautifully. Nail Pattern Boldness is one of my favourite indies – <i>Slow Invasion </i>blew my mind and this isn’t far behind.<br />
<br />

I'm not even going to get into the feels that I have about the last appearances of River Song. Nope. But the feels I have about these polishes are wonderful, so why don't we focus on that? (Feel free to let your feels run wild in the comments though.)<br />

Rock zu kurz. Draußen ist das Team verzweifelt – „Was the skirt too short that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> is wearing?“ Eine blonde Mitarbeiterin
(Stylistin?) fragt sarkastisch „In what country?“ Am Ende darf sie ihn trotz
anziehen. Gut sieht sie deshalb nicht aus – knallroter Minirock und übergroßer
Zebraprint-Pulli mit ein paar knallroten Streifen. Und schon wieder eine
Netzstrumpfhose. </span></div>

blaues Leinensakko. Ich versteh nicht, wie dieser Mann Modedesigner sein kann
wenn er immer daherkommt als hätt er sich sein Outfit gerade bei der Heilsarmee
zusammengestellt. Er redet schon wieder dauernd von sich, dass ihm mal die
Haare weißblond gebleicht wurden, „sah auch cool aus, wie Andy Warhol“. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Samantha</b><b>s</b> hellorange gefärbte Haare (okay,
sie sieht tatsächlich ein bisschen anders aus) sehen seiner Meinung nach
„giftig“ aus, was in seiner Welt offenbar was Gutes ist. „Ich find, dieser kleine giftige Ton
nimmt ihr irgendwie die kindliche Süße, macht sie so ein bisschen bittersüß, so
ein bisschen poisoned, nicht wahr. Und das ist irgendwie der Unterschied zwischen
den normalen Gangway-Models und den Fotomodels, dass sie alle ein bisschen
besonders aussehen. Ein bisschen aufregend und nicht nur erregend.“ Gott, der
Typ ist so grauslich. Und „Gangway-Models“ ist auch originell. </span></div>

statt braun, bei <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jana</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sainabou</b> sieht man kaum einen Unterschied. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b> kriegt ein ganz cooles braun, findet ihre Naturwelle aber
doof, „wie ein gerupftes Huhn“. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Samantha</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> darf dann gleich mal <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sedcard
fotografieren</b> gehen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
drückt ihr die Schultern runter. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>
schaut die ganze Zeit auf den Monitor statt in die Kamera und die Schüsse
werden alle nichts. „Warum is’n das so schwer? Guckst du dich so gern an?“
fragt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>. „Ja“, antwortet sie. „Schön,
dass sich das Mädchen so gut findet, für die Exercise, die wir grad machen,
eher blöd“, resümiert <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Lisa</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> möchte vor dem Haareschneiden erstmal noch mit ihrer Mutter telefonieren,
weil sie auch Heimweh hat und überlegt, ob sie nicht heimfahren soll. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> erzählt der Mama auch noch wie
gern sie sie dabei haben wollen und rückt ihr während des Telefonats nicht von
der Pelle. Ein bisschen Privatsphäre wär wohl zu viel verlangt... Im Endeffekt
entscheidet sie sich dafür. „Ich will meine Eltern nicht enttäuschen.“
Schlechter Grund, muss ich sagen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Später
führt sie dann noch aus, dass ihre Eltern gesagt hätten, sie wären enttäuscht,
wenn sie heimkommt. Hallo, geht’s noch? Die Frisur wird ok, jedenfalls um Ecken
besser als vorher. Asymmetrischer Pagenkopf, weißblond.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Joop</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> faselt endlos drüber wie hier aus Mädchen Skulpturen gemacht werden und
dass er sie ja auch als Künstler anschaut, weil er ja Malerei studiert hat,
später schwadroniert er irgendwas von Schmetterlingen, die aus den
Raupenpüppchen schlüpfen und die er einfangen will.</span></div>

lachen sich schief darüber. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b>
findet die Augenbrauen scheiße, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
hat null Verständnis. Beim Sedcard-Shooting kriegt sie nochmal einen Anschiss von
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>, weil sie sauer aussieht. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> wollen sie nach einer kurzen Pause nochmal probieren lassen, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> sagt nein. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b> macht es <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b>
und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> zum Vorwurf, die sehen
das nicht ein. Am Abend wird im Haus noch geheult bzw. verteidigt. Die beiden
können aber schon fest lästern, das macht mir <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> etwas unsympathisch.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Simona</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> ist von einer Durchschnittsbrünetten zu einem Durchschnittsblondchen
geworden. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Antonia</b> hat etwas hellere
Haare, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Betty</b><b>s</b> Locken kommen besser
zur Geltung, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Emma</b> hat auch einen
etwas helleren Braunton. Überhaupt scheinen die bei den meisten nur
nachgeschnitten, in ähnlicher Farbe gefärbt und ein paar Wellen reingemacht zu
haben.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Nächster Tag: Shooting.</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
rennt in Jogginghose und Leo-Stringtanga rum und zeigt uns das auch noch, dann
ist sie erstmal demonstrativ Currywurst. Es wird in der Höhe mit Ballons
fotografiert, die grade umgestylten Frisuren werden mit knallbunten Perücken
verdeckt. Fotograf ist <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Brian Bowen Smith</b>.
Inzwischen ist <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> in eine komische
Leder- oder Latex-Latzhose und Käppi gekleidet. Auch nicht besser.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Laura</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> ist als erste dran und wird mit einem Kran in die Luft gezogen. Sieht
wirklich aus als würd sie fliegen, aber die Fotos findet <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> nicht so toll, sie bietet ihr nicht genug Posen an. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> hingegen probiert alles mögliche
aus, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> ist begeistert und
schickt sie automatisch in die nächste Runde. Als Motivation für die anderen,
meint sie.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dann ist <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa</b> dran, die nach dem Umstyling-Debakel
zeigen möchte, dass sie’s wirklich will. Foto ist ok, von <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> gibt’s Lob für die Entschlossenheit. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stefanie</b> hat Höhenangst. „Die Arme, nä?“ meint <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>. Der Fotograf findet sie aber „beautiful“ und die Fotos macht
sie super. Und sie bedankt sich<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>brav nicht
nur beim Fotografen sondern auch bei den sonstigen Mitarbeitern/Roadies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dann zeigt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> wieder mal, dass in dieser
Staffel gegessen wird und holt sich Schokoeis und Cremeroulade vom Buffet. Döner,
Currywurst, cremige Nachspeisen – nur ganz normal essen geht nicht? Würd ja
schon reichen, dass sie ab und zu mal was isst bzw. die Mädchen normal und gesund
essen, muss ja nicht gleich Zeug sein, das ihr eh niemand glaubt. Oder wenn sie
ihnen einfach nicht sagt, dass sie zu dick sind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Als nächstes gibt’s eine
Montage von schreienden Mädchen in der Luft, die ich beim besten Willen nicht
identifizieren kann. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ivana</b> ist super,
Fotograf und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> sind begeistert
und sie darf auch automatisch in die nächste Runde weiter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Und dann <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b>. Sie redet davon wie Hammer das
wird und wie cool und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> schwärmt
von ihrer Einstellung, die Mädls sind sich auch schon sicher, dass sie gleich
in die nächste Runde kommt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ivana</b>
sieht sie sogar schon im Finale. Aber plötzlich kommt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> das Essen hoch, sie spuckt mal kurz aus der Luft und wird
dann runtergelassen zum Kotzen. Meint sie hat keine Höhenangst, es war nur,
weil sie grad vorher gegessen hat. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
meint, sie haben bestimmt ein Bild, aber <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b>
gibt sich damit nicht zufrieden und macht noch mal Fotos. Muss dann aber doch
wieder runter. Der Fotograf meint nun auch, er hat ein Foto, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> ist von ihrer Professionalität
beeindruckt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> ist aber sauer
auf sich und hat immer noch das Gefühl, aufgegeben zu haben. Die anderen
versuchen sie davon zu überzeugen, dass sie ja gekämpft hat, aber sie rennt
raus. Aber <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ivana</b> trösten sie.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Heidi</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> und der Fotograf schicken nach dem Shoot auch noch <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sainabou</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Antonia</b> weiter. Dann stopft <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> noch ein paar von den riesigen
Luftballons ins Auto, die „Oma“ fast zerquestschen und mault sie dann an, weil sie den Sicherheitsgurt nicht zumachen kann.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Abends in der
Modelvilla: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> macht
Bauchübungen und erzählt uns wieder, dass sie es am allermeisten will. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> erzählt derweil noch mal allen,
die es hören wollen, dass sie nur zu besonderen Anlässen kotzt. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Am nächsten Tag ist
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Catwalk-Training in der Bahnhofshalle</b>
angesagt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> sitzen inszeniert auf einer Bank
und lesen Zeitung. „Du, <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</span>“,
fängt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> an. „Bist du eigentlich
aufgeregt, ich meine, wenn dir Frauen kommen? Ich mein, du bist ja so ein
Sexbraten, als Sexbraten auch bekannt.“ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
schüttelt den Kopf, rollt mit den Augen und lacht genervt. Ob er "Wolle" immer noch so lustig findet? <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> beichtet: „Ich hab Lampenfieber, bevor es geschieht.“ Was
genau? Jedenfalls erfahren wir, dass <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
die beiden mit Waldorf und Statler aus der Muppetshow vergleicht, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> findet, sie sind wie
Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot („und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
ist der Prinz“) und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> meint,
sie sind wie Siegfried und Roy, weil sie die „kleinen Entlein in magische,
wunderschöne, grazile weiße Tiger“ umwandeln. Wer von den beiden ist Roy und
wird von einem Tiger gebissen? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Das Training ist eine
„Modenschau“ (auch wenn die Kleidung nicht besonders spektakulär ist), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> sagt ihnen, sie dürfen „keine
Scheu vor ‚ner Audience haben“. First face sollte eigentlich <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> sein, aber eine kleine alte
Dame drängt sich vor. Die Leute schauen natürlich alle und filmen mit, eine ältere
Frau bewundert die vielen langen Beine auf einem Haufen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b> schlenkert zu sehr mit den Armen, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa</b> geht total schief. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>
hält <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> eng umschlungen an der
Schulter (doch Siegfried und Roy?). Er hat offenbar das Memo mit „wir tun so,
als gäbe es diesmal in der Sendung keinen Essensstress“ nicht bekommen und
meint „so, und jetzt gibt’s für Models mal wieder nichts zu essen und dann bis
später“.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Am Nachmittag
wird mit Trainerin <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Macon</b> weitergeübt.
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ivana</b> ist schlecht, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> geht davon aus, dass sie krank
spielt. „Ich glaube, wär sie nicht gesaved, dann würd sie sich glaub ich nicht
einfach so auf den Stuhl sitzen.“ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b>
lästert, sie soll sich „schon die Pobacken kneifen und sagen ne ich mach das,
auch mit Schmerzen“. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b> lästert
überhaupt viel (oder wird viel beim Lästern gezeigt), einmal bremst sogar <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> sie ein bisschen ein.</span><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> Bei <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa</b> passt offenbar hinten und vorn
alles nicht – die Schritte sind nicht lang genug, die Zunge ist nicht an der
richtigen Stelle im Mund (hä?), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b>
muss auch x-Mal<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>laufen.</span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Am Abend müssen
sie dann noch mal Wolfgang und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
in Sponsorenschuhen was vorlaufen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ivana</b>
macht Pause, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> meint, sie war am
Bahnhof ja schon so gut. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stefanie</b>
meint, sie hätte es trotzdem gemacht. Sie sehen Verbesserungen. Nach dem Lauf
wird <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ivana</b> gefragt, wen sie davon
gebucht hätte und sie macht einen fatalen Fehler – nicht mit der Auswahl,
sondern mit dem Kommentar: „<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sainabou</b>.
Aber das wär auch die Einzige von heute.“ Ui, das wird noch Ärger geben. Sogar <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Macon</b> findet sie hart. Die größte
Verbesserung hat laut <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> die
gemacht, „die heute am schwächsten war natürlich, die <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa</b>. Also heute Mittag war sie so dass ich dachte das Schiff das
kentert gleich“.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Entscheidungstag</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
meckert, weil <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> verspätet ist.
Die Entscheidung ist im Frachthafen und die Mädls tragen punkrockige Kleidung
von <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Corey Parks</b>, die will, dass sie
aggressiv laufen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> betont noch
mal, dass sie ja nicht süß laufen sollen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Die Mädls, die
weitergekommen sind, gehen währenddessen an den Strand und spielen Volleyball
und lassen coole Sprüche ab. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b>
war noch nie am Meer. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> ist entgeistert.
Ich auch. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Meanwhile back at
the Entscheidung: </b>Im Hintergrund steht ein Lastwagen, dessen Breitseite ein Bildschirm
ist, auf dem der Walk und die Fotos gezeigt werden. Na gottseidank ist <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> schon weiter, sonst würd sie
beim Walk nur auf den LKW starren und es total verkacken. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Aminata</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> läuft gut und kriegt gleich ihr Foto. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
schwärmt von ihr. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stefanie</b> geht sehr
unsicher und wackelt erst mal. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa</b><b>s</b>
Frisur sieht zu ihrem Outfit gut aus, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
fragt, ob sie beim Gehen die Luft angehalten hat. Sie erklärt, das <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Macon</b> ihr gesagt hatte, sie soll die
Zunge am Gaumen festsaugen, damit der Mund lockerer aussieht. Die Jury hört von
der Methode offenbar zum ersten Mal. Ihre schiefe Haltung wird weiterhin
kritisiert. „Du bist eine der Mädchen, die in ihrem Körper noch nicht wohnt“,
erklärt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>. Für die Sedcard wird
sie gelobt und auch beim Ballonshoot hat sie eins der besten Fotos gehabt und
damit kommt sie auch gleich weiter. Sie glaubt es nicht so recht.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b></span><br />
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Laura</b> wird von <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> kritisiert, weil im Gesicht nix los ist, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> meckert über den Walk. Sie wird zurückgeschickt. Sie ist der
„umgekehrte Fall wie Kate Moss“, sagt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>.
Dann schwadroniert er über Kate Moss‘ Geschichte, sein Argument erschließt sich
mir aber nicht wirklich, außer er will sagen sie schaut aus wie ein Model, ist
dafür aber nicht zu gebrauchen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Samantha</b>
kriegt dafür für ihren Lauf gleich Lob und ist weiter. Weiter sind außerdem <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sarah</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jolina</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Betty</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b>. </span><br />
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Simona</b> wird gefragt, ob sie sich für ihre Zähne schämt, weil das
auf den Fotos komisch ausschaut, sie zeigt ihre Zähne etwas komisch und stiftet
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> damit zu einem Monolog über
deutsche Dialekte an. Gott, der geht mir so auf die Nerven. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jana</b><b>s</b> Foto sieht doof aus, deshalb wackelt
sie, für <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> ist sie nicht
unbedingt ein Topmodel aber sie sei gut gelaufen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b> läuft gut und kommt weiter. Sie reden dauernd von ihrer tollen
„Frisur“, dabei geht’s ja eigentlich nur um die Naomi Campbell-Perücke. Der Fotoshoot
war „ein bisschen einfallslos“ aber sie ist trotzdem weiter. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Emma</b> fehlt laut <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> der „Drive“, laut <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
der Kampfgeist. Auch Wackelkandidatin. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b>
gibt ihr backstage einen Peptalk. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dann <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">die endgültige Entscheidung</b>. „Es soll die Beste
gewinnen und ich bin echt nicht die Beste“, sieht es <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stefanie</b> realistisch, kommt aber als erste von den Wacklerinnen weiter.
Die anderen drei waren beim Shoot und beim Walk nicht toll. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jana</b> kommt aber weiter, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Emma</b> ebenso. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Laura</b> wird heimgeschickt. Allzu betroffen wirkt sie allerdings
nicht. „Die haben mir gesagt dass sie denken dass es mir nicht sooo viel Spaß
gemacht hat und vielleicht war’s im Endeffekt auch so.“</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

It's the final tri-polish Tuesday of February and after several uninspired weeks I've finally got some nail art I'm actually pleased with! I used the same grey and pink as for the other tri-polish manis this month and added a bit of glitter, which unfortunately doesn't show quite as well on the pictures as it did in person (and even then it was subtle). Huh, who knew subtle glitter was a thing?<br />

I made this a while ago for my niece's birthday - she loves elephants (and balloons!) and enjoyed looking at my nails. I really liked this mani and was sad when I had to take it off again for an appointment where it wouldn't have been appropriate. (It is a sad day when elephants are inappropriate.)<br />

I'm not sure what it is about them that makes them so endearing, but elephants are the best! Don't you agree?<br />
Check out the linky below for more grey, pink and brown! Next month's colours are green, blue and purple. Want to play?<br />

Hi there!
I know it's not Sunday, but quite honestly I was too lazy to edit pictures yesterday.<br />
<br />
Here's my contribution for last week's NAIL challenge theme, gradient. Like for the chevrons last week, I used some of my old duochromes, called <i>green changer </i>and <i>bronze changer</i>.<br />
<br />
Have a look at the others in the linkup below, they're all a lot more creative than mine :)<br />
<br />
Have a good start to your week!<br />

Well hello! After spending most of Wednesday thinking it was Thursday, I completely forgot to post my GOT challenge post yesterday, so here's a quick chevron post.<br />
<br />
I used two of my oldest polishes, nice drugstore duochromes that I really should use more often. (Which I immediately did for the LINK challenge mani that'll go up Sunday unless I forget what day it is.)<br />
<br />

<br />
Not much to say, freehand chevrons, everyone! Check out the others in the linky below.<br />
Now I'm off to a spontaneous concert at a pub (well, me going is spontaneous, I guess the concert was planned). Have a great weekend!<br />

It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for the Tri-polish challenge. The colours are pink, grey and brown, and this time I used all three plus white and glitter. The colours screamed cupcakes to me, so here's some delicious chocolate
cupcakes with white and pink toppings, sprinkles and a cherry on top
(glitter from Life is Short and You are Hot).<br />

This was going to be a post about how I don't actually like cupcakes, because the cream cheese frosting is weird and they're always way too sweet for my taste, but today I met a couple of friends for coffee at a tiny cupcake bakery and I'm willing to admit that I may have judged prematurely. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had a tiramisu cupcake, which was a perfectly soft and moist chocolate muffin with a just not too sweet tiramisu cream topping. It was divine. I even bought a chocolate-orange cupcake home as a treat for tomorrow (because you really can't eat more than one of those a day, and that was a bit of a struggle). So I change my opinion (because I'm mature enough to admit when I'm wrong): I don't like most cupcakes, but when they are just right, they are divine.</div>

which Heidi is sick, Joop is creepy, there are snakes in a dome
and surprise chickens in the fridge. Also, the girls get to model fashion
school pieces that look like Project Runway exploded.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Willkommen zur
zweiten Folge von GNTM. Die Mädchen sind weiterhin in Singapur. Im Modelhaus
wird geübt. „Alle Mädchen üben schon, ich denke, weil jede weiter will“, stellt
eine von ihnen ganz helle fest. Bücher fliegen von Köpfen auf den Boden. Alle
sind nervös, weil sie auf einer Fashionshow laufen dürfen. Zum Glück sind’s
„nur“ Studentenarbeiten (die armen Studis). Die Catwalktrainerin (Megan Reid?)
versucht, Ordnung in den Sauhaufen zu bringen. Zwischendurch starrt sie <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> im recht viel entblößenden hinterher
und sagt „Wow. Dinger!“ (so klingt es zumindest). <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b> findet es ganz toll, geschminkt zu werden.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dann zum Hauptevent
des Abends: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> im Krankenhaus.
Der Producer ist schockiert, denn <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
sei in 9 Jahren noch nie nicht zur Arbeit gegangen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> geht’s sauschlecht. Mein Mitleid hält sich trotzdem in
Grenzen. „I don’t want it, it burns!“ protestiert sie gegen den Tropf. In Red
wird sie für diese Selbstzurschaustellung auch noch gelobt, weil ungeschminkt
vor der Kamera und Schwäche zeigen und so. Klar.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Joop</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> erklärt, dass jedes Mädchen immer First und Last Face sein will, falls das
jemand noch nicht wusste. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>
wird von Megan mit Last Face belohnt, weil sie sich seit dem Vortag am meisten
verbessert habe. Die anderen sind neidisch. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jolina</b>, die wir nicht kennen und die recht auf Twiggi geschminkt
ist, ist First Face, alle applaudieren. Dann sehen wir, wie er <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jolina</b> in der Schule abholt und sie
erstmal Haute Couture buchstabieren muss. Wie wir jedes Jahr sehen, weiß eh die
Hälfte der Mädls nicht, was das ist, geschweige denn, wie man’s buchstabiert, also
ist sie schon mal recht vorn dabei. Sie scheint sehr beliebt zu sein. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b> erklärt, dass sie beim
Laufstegtraining für die anderen ein Vorbild ist und sie gibt ihnen Tipps und
ist ganz nett.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Die Show findet
in einem Gebäude statt, das aussieht wie ein riesiges aufgeklapptes Tee-Ei. Dort
erzählt ihnen <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>, dass <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> nicht kommt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> warnt das Publikum noch vor, dass das die erste Show der
Mädchen ist. Das Gute an Studentenarbeiten ist, dass die Kleidung extrem cool
und extravagant (wenn auch absolut untragbar) ist. Von Ritterrüstungsbody und
Superheldin bis Henker und Pharaonin ist alles dabei. Cooles Zeug. Insgesamt
läuft’s recht gut. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b> hat
schnell noch gebetet („ich bin ein bisschen gläubig“). <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jolina</b> stolpert in ihrem zweiten Outfit – Xenaoberteil mit Leintuch
unten rum – geht aber total cool weiter. Ist aber nicht die Einzige. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> kommentiert alles aus dem
Hintergrund. Und dann fällt der Monitor aus und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> zuckt aus. Und überhaupt Panik. „Wer macht den Schluss?“ –
„There! She’s naked.“ <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> wird
eilig ins Kostüm gezwängt und erklärt allen, wie entspannt sie ist. So, dann ist
alles vorbei und alle sind glücklich. Der Kameramensch scheint am „no
signal“-Text auf dem Monitor Gefallen gefunden zu haben und filmt es nochmal
zum Abschluss. Will er uns damit was sagen?</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dann ist das
erste echte Shooting dran, im „Cloud Forest“. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> demonstriert seine Deutschkenntnisse: „ein riesen dome mit
so nem tropical rain forest drin.“ Also ein Palmenhaus. Aber es schaut schon
cool aus... wie in der 1. Expansion von WoW – draußen stehen Gebäude, die
aussehen wie riesige rosane Schwammerl aus den Zangarmarschen, drin ist’s wie
in den Biokuppeln von Nethersturm. Sie sind in aller Herrgottsfrühe dort, weil
sie um 5 wegen Touris wieder raus müssen. Wie früh ist es denn bitte? Jedenfalls
ist es schon hell. Jede hat 10 Minuten Zeit und natürlich gibt’s fiese Viecher.
Der Fotograf ist Christan Andwander, der auch schon die Pool-Shots gemacht hat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> ist als Erste dran. Ihr werden
ein paar Schlangen um den Hals gewickelt, sie sieht das relativ locker und
findet die Schlange sehr cool. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>‘
Schlange „Tommy“ ist „sehr lebendig“ und mag <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b>: „Alright baby.“ (Gott, das klingt so pervers, wenn man es
aus dem Kontext nimmt. Auch im Kontext ist da sehr viel Anspielung dabei,
meinste nicht, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>?) Die Fotos
sind richtig gut und der Fotograf ist von ihr begeistert.</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Aminata</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> erzählt den anderen wie Hammer das war und dass sie mit Schlangen shooten.
Die anderen kriegen gleich einen Nervenzusammenbruch. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b> kennt den Unterschied zwischen Gift—und Würgeschlangen nicht
und hat Angst, gebissen zu werden (weil bei Schlangen, da kann man ja nicht wie
bei einem Hund „aus“ sagen, wenn sie einen beißen wollen. Wenn ein Hund einen
beißen will, hilft das aber auch nicht viel, meine Liebe). Ok, bei einer Phobie
denkt man nicht logisch. Der Fotograf ist sehr nett und führt sie langsam an
die ruhigste Schlange heran. Nachher sind halt nur noch ein paar Minuten Zeit. Aber
hübsches Foto! Andere tun sich auch nicht so leicht, eine ruft gleich nach
ihrer Mami. „Bei so vielen Mädchen (...) viele gleichen sich natürlich ein
bisschen“, <b>Steffi</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Antonia</b> zum
Beispiel, meint <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>. Na gut, dass
es nicht nur mir so geht. Angeblich werden <b>Steffi</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Antonia</b> auch so verwechselt. Sie unterscheiden sich auch beim Foto
nicht.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> </span>
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Ivana</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> hat sich am ersten Tag einen fetten Sonnenbrand geholt und die
Kosmetikerin schält ihr noch mal die Haut ab. Kriegt aber ein „sie macht’s
sonst ned schlecht“ vom Fotografen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
findet das Bild super aber „in Sachen Modelprofessionalität mangelhaft“. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b> schaut aus wie Oktoberfest goes
Singapur, mit großem Blumenkranz und weißer Spitze in Dirndlblusenform. Mit dem
entspannten Gesichtsausdruck klappt es nicht so recht, sie schaut relativ
verschreckt aus. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b> schaut aus
wie Jane im Dschungel und fürchtet sich nicht. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b> hat zwar eigentlich Angst, merkt man ihr aber gar nicht an.
<b>Emma</b> weiß im Gegensatz zu <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b> sehr
wohl, was eine Würgeschlange ist, und hat Angst, dass sie sich um ihren Hals
wickeln. Sie brechen den Fotoshoot ab. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jana</b>
wollte immer schon mal mit Schlangen fotografiert werden, meint aber, dass sie
im Liegen keine Körperspannung braucht. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
schimpft und findet, dass ihr Arm lasch da liegt wie bei einer Wasserleiche. Kann ihren
Körper gar nicht bewegen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Betty</b> ist
mit Spaß dabei und macht ihre Sache gut. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Simona</b>
darf sogar ein bisschen schreien. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>
erklärt nochmal allen, wie toll es war, Last Face zu sein und dass ihr das einen
Push gibt. Die anderen verdrehen die Augen. Gute Bilder, aber sie zieht auf
jedem Foto ihre rechte Augenbraue hoch. </span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Steffi </b>erzählt,
dass sie bis 13 als bulimisch diagnostiziert wurde und dann stellte sich raus,
dass ihr Magen verdreht und kurz vorm Absterben war. Krasse Sache. „Ich war ja
ein ganz kleines Kind“, sagt die 16-jährige über sich mit 13 Jahren. Ja, ich
kann mich erinnern, als 3 Jahre ganze Welten auseinanderlagen. Lang ist’s her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Heidi</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> ist immer noch im Krankenhaus und schickt ihnen eine Videobotschaft, dass
niemand rausfliegt und sie alle nach LA dürfen. Schwein gehabt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> freut sich auf die Models und
die Stars, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Betty</b> auf einen Burger.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">In LA: Auf den Wänden hängen diesmal lauter Halbnacktfotos von <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> rum. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> ist auch wieder dabei. Und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> bringt die anderen Juroren auf den aktuellen Stand und wir
müssen uns die Fotos und die Modeschau nochmal anschauen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> fährt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> an,
dass er dauernd kritisiere. „Sei nicht so negativ, die haben grade erst
angefangen! Die wissen ja noch nicht, was sie machen!“ Wird sie im Alter etwa
milde? Sonst regt sie sich doch gerade darüber auf.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Aha, offenbar sollte das eine Überraschung sein, dass sie in dieser Villa,
in der sie gerade für einen Walk vorbereitet werden und wo an jeder Wand die <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> hängt, auch wohnen sollen. Die
Mädls sind nicht sehr überrascht und hatten auch schon geahnt, dass da eine
Entscheidung ansteht. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> umarmt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> sehr unziemlich von hinten und
hat im Haus eine Sonnenbrille an. Nein wirklich, es ist eklig. Erst legt er ihr
von hinten die Arme um die Taille als hätten sie was miteinander, dann umarmt
er <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> noch dazu. Und das sind
wenigstens volljährige Menschen. Wie er die Mädchen anstarrt, ist mir nicht
mehr wurscht.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Es ist also ein Entscheidungswalk angesagt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> meint zum Kameramenschen „Viel falsch kann ich da nicht
machen, Mann. Das ist doch keine Gabe, laufen zu können“. Dem stimme ich
grundsätzlich zu, aber es ist immer wieder überraschend, wie viele Leute <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwcD7t-CfHo">so</a> gehen (Warnung für Empfindliche: Katzen nach dem Tierarzt). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Antonia</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> kriegt zwar einen Anschiss für ihren
schlechten Gang, kommt aber trotzdem weiter und darf als Erste ins Haus. „Yay,
ich hab meine Mappe“ (...) Blick zur Wand „und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>!“ Dann stakst sie gleich mal in die Küche, wo der Kühlschrank
gut befüllt ist „Ooh, ihr habt Hühnchen eingekauft?“ Die
Produktplacementschminke wird nicht ganz so enthusiastisch bewundert, die
Betten sind diesmal wirklich groß und in schön luftigen Zimmern, ich glaub da
muss sich niemand das Bett teilen. Auf den Betten liegen Fotopolster von den
Mädchen – „hää, dürfen wir das Kissen mitnehmen? Wirklich?“ fragt sie den
Kameramenschen. Heißt das, die Betten sind schon zugeteilt und es stand schon
vorher fest, wer weiterkommt, oder gibt’s da von jeder eins (oder mehrere)?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Aminata</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> ist als Nächste dran und sie sind voll
des Lobes. Schlenkert etwas arg mit den Armen, aber sonst ok. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Samantha</b> wirkt unsicher und sieht
extrem besorgt aus. Lauf und Fotos waren nicht so toll (sie sieht aus, als würd
sie sich vor der Schlange total fürchten). Aber weil <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> sie hübsch findet, kommt sie weiter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Joop</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> hat keinen Sonnenhut mitgebracht. Erst
macht er sich noch über <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
lustig („ich hab ja nicht so dünne Haare“), dann will er aber sofort
einen
haben und weil die Backstageleute nicht gleich einen für ihn herzaubern,
macht
er sich aus einem Seidentuch einen „Turban“, der den Namen nicht
verdient hast.
Er ist sowieso ganz unmöglich gekleidet, das Hemd ist wie ein billiger
80er-Blazer-Stoff mit diversen Flaggenprints drauf, drüber eine
Lederjacke... <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> ist fasziniert, dass er sich
dauernd umzieht.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Jolina</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> trägt ein hammergeiles Kleid und hat laut
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> „richtig gute Chancen“, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Simona</b> ist „eine starke Konkurrentin“,
bei <b>Emma</b> sieht sie Fortschritte. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b>
kreischt vor Freude, als sie weiterkommt. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Backstage ist <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>s
Augenbraue unter Begutachtung. Aber nicht nur die, sondern auch ihr Verhalten.
„Also ich hab eigentlich gar keine Konkurrenz, ich bin selber so ein bisschen
mein größter Konkurrent“, erklärt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>.
Keine Ahnung, warum die anderen sie nicht mögen... Die Jury bekrittelt ihre
riesig geschminkten Augenbrauen, die sie offenbar nach dem Styling nochmal
nachgezogen hat (Groucho Marx findet <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>,
Kleopatra findet <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>). <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> donnert los: „Du bist ein
bildhübsches Mädchen. Du hast eine Bombenfigur. Du hast ein Bombengesicht. Aber
du hast eine Ausstrahlung, die ist katastrophal!“ Künstlicher, aufgesetzter Gesichtsausdruck.
„Ich kann es einfach nicht in nette Worte irgendwie verpacken.“ „Du machst ganz
komische Sachen mit deinem Gesicht. Du bist hübsch - mach nichts, sei einfach
nur da!“ Währenddessen verzieht <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>
nacheinander einzeln jeden Gesichtsmuskel und versucht offenbar verzweifelt,
einen ungestellten Gesichtsausdruck hinzukriegen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> findet, das Verzickte kennt er eh aus High Fashion, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> fährt ihn an, dass es madamig und
aufgesetzt ist. Um sie aufzulockern, schmeißt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> sie mal in den Pool. Auch eine Methode. Die Jury findet, sie sehe
nass noch besser aus. „Der Zuckerguss ist ab“, meint <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>. (In Red lacht <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>s
Mutter herzlich über den Wurf in den Pool und findet das gut, weil sie dauernd
viel zu perfekt sein will. Kurz darauf gibt sie zu, dass sie wohl an <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>s Beautyfimmel und
übertriebenem Selbstbewusstsein und Ehrgeiz schuld ist.) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Steffi</b> wackeln die Beine, die Jury findet, sie solle arroganter
und nicht so kindlich ausschauen, aber sie kommt weiter. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sarah</b> beißt sich auf die Lippe und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> meint, sie wär fast eingeschlafen. Daraufhin muss sie nochmal
mit <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> zackiger gehen. Na-ja. Wird
auch ins Wasser geworfen aber kommt weiter. „Du bist bildhübsch! Aber ein
bisschen mehr Pep!“ (Mein <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>-Trinkspiel
läuft heut gut – unter anderem wird ja bei jedem „bildhübsch“ getrunken.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Betty</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> sieht laut <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> aus, als wär sie betrunken. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> nennt sie Wackeldackel und führt ihr das gleich mal vor. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Betty</b> darf dafür auf <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>s Stuhl sitzen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> ist offenbar <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>s größter Fan, er lacht sich schief, „what a comedian!“ Aber
hübsch, pfeffrig und so ist sie. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
sieht viel Arbeit für sie, stimmt dem nicht ganz zu, aber es entspricht meiner Voraussage
vom letzten Mal.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Ivana</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> sieht laut Jury super aus, aber <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> fand „you’re walking like you‘re
sleeping“. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> fand den Walk total
super. „Die Übereinstimmung von euch heute begeistert mich total“, meint <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> trocken. „Rein da“ deutet <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> auf die Villa. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b> ist weiter, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sainabou</b> muss „aufpassen, dass du nicht zu einseitig wirst“. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b> ist nervös: „Jetzt ist so oh
mein Gooooott, hoffentlich schmeißen’s mi ned im Pool!“ (sollte das nicht
„hoffentlich schmeißen’s mi ned raus“ heißen?). <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
ist vom Walk nicht begeistert, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
meint der Fotoshoot war „nicht einfach“. „Warum?“, fragt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>, die vorher offenbar nicht genug gebrieft wurde. „Der war das
noch nicht ganz geheuer mit den Schlangen, was man dir auch nicht zum Vorwurf
machen kann“, und macht es ihr prompt zum Vorwurf. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> findet sie sei „ein unglaublich hübsches und gesundes Mädchen
und dieses Fashion-Ding, das ist nicht ihr Ding, ganz einfach. Ich hab auch das
Gefühl, wenn sie geht, dann bewegt sie ne ganze Menge, nur nicht sich selbst.“ Hä,
war das grad <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>-Speak für „du bist
dick“? <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> finden sie auch nett und cool
aber sind von ihr nicht überzeugt. „Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob das unbedingt
der Job für dich ist“, sagt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>.
„Nicht weinen, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b>, es ist
auch nicht für jeden was“, umarmt sie die Rausgeworfene und zieht über ihre
Schulter ein Duckface. Nachvollziehbare Entscheidung, hätt gedacht sie behalten
sie noch ein bisschen für den Drama-Effekt, aber gut so.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Joop</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> hat hinter den Kulissen Gewissensbisse
und meint, er will es den Mädls manchmal gar nicht antun, ihnen dieses Business
zu empfehlen. Prinzipiell ja, nur nehm ich’s ihm nicht ab.</span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Jana</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> lief und schaute laut Jury arrogant, sie
ist erstmal betreten, erfährt aber, dass das nix Schlimmes ist. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b> läuft laut <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> staksig und x-beinig, was sie gleich bestätig: Sie hat X-Beine
und ihr Becken ist schief. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>
findet das „besonders“. Sie kommt weiter, aber unten ist kein Schwein, weil die
Leute sich das Haus und die Produktplacementrasierer anschauen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sarah</b> findet es super, mit den Mädchen
zusammenzuwohnen, das sei wie eine riesigen WG. Ja, schon mal in einer WG um
den Putzdienst gestritten? Das kommt noch auf euch zu... <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa</b> geht total komisch, hat ein „bildhübsches Gesicht“ (Drink!) ist
„voller Widersprüche“ und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>
findet, sie habe sich seit dem letzten Mal verändert. Kommt weiter, aber mit
Ermahnung, herauszustechen. „Das sind alles deine Konkurrentinnen“, erinnert
sie <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> zur Sicherheit noch mal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Der Sendung nach wurde also nur <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b>
heimgeschickt. Aber weit gefehlt! GNTM dringt in neue Tiefen vor und wirft
Leute raus, ohne es uns zu zeigen. Geht’s noch? Laut <a href="http://www.prosieben.at/tv/germanys-next-topmodel/models">Webseite</a>
sind nämlich auch <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fata</b> (die ich gern
gesehen hätte), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ina</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Laura H.</b> (die mit den süßen kurzen
blonden Haaren, auf die ich voll gespannt war) und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pauline</b> nicht mehr dabei. Das ist doch eine Sauerei, wozu waren die
überhaupt dabei wenn ihr sie kein einziges Mal zeigt? Ich wunderte mich schon,
dass sie so langsam reduzieren (letztes Mal nur 2, diesmal nur 1), aber in
Wirklichkeit sind jetzt nur noch 18 (von ursprünglich 25) Mädchen im Haus.</span><br />
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Update:</b> Doch nicht bei der Entscheidung rausgeworfen - laut Bild bekam <b>Fata </b>kein Visum für die USA, die anderen gingen freiwillig (<b>Pauline </b>aus LA, weil ihr das Studium wichtiger ist - vernünftiges Mädchen! - </span><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Ina </b>nach Singapur, </span>bei <b>Laura </b>weiß ich's nicht). Und das Ganze postet GNTM nur mal kurz und unauffällig auf <a href="https://www.facebook.com/germanys.next.topmodel/photos/a.10150116577274939.302586.76620179938/10152216997069939/?type=1&theater">Facebook</a>. Was soll die Heimlichtuerei?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Vorschau: </b>Umstyling, Tränen und verklebte Extensions, <b>Aminata </b>kotzt
beim Fotoshoot aus luftiger Höhe, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>
versucht sich an „Du, <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</span>...“ und
nennt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> einen „Sexbraten“. Da
redet der Richtige... In Red ist <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>
mal wieder creepy. „Es ist kaum zu ertragen, wie schön dieses Mädchen ist“,
sagt er über <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>. „Manchmal
kann ich sie kaum angucken, weil sie guckt mich so intensiv an und sie weiß so
gar nicht, was dieser Blick (Pause) anrichten kann.“ Dazu ein dezent lüsterner
Blick. Boah is des grauslich.</span></div>

Will you look at this? Two nail art posts in a week, and both with hearts? Crazy stuff.<br />
<br />
This is the Crumpet's new challenge, where you're supposed to use your older polishes and there's a theme every week. You can read all about it <a href="http://www.the-crumpet.com/2014/01/got-polish-new-challenge-for-2014.html">here</a>.<br />
I was going to join this one earlier but I was pretty busy and while I did do something for the Dots and the Green themes, they turned out so awful I just couldn't post them. So here's my first proper one, and already I'm <strike>bending the rules</strike> interpreting the theme creatively.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VJYzYqZ39gk/UvpeyL9yEaI/AAAAAAAAB4A/Ypo0DF4LU3I/s1600/P2101491+%28620x464%29.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VJYzYqZ39gk/UvpeyL9yEaI/AAAAAAAAB4A/Ypo0DF4LU3I/s1600/P2101491+(620x464).jpg" height="298" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Here's one for Valentine's Day, for the Olympics, for equal rights, for equal love, for human rights.<br />
<br />
Here's me joining in with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in saying "We must all raise our voices against attacks on lesbians, gays,
bisexual, transgender or intersex people. We must oppose the arrests,
imprisonment and discriminatory restrictions they face." <br />
<br />
Here's me wishing you a happy Valentine's day, and that all your days be filled with love.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><i>In this episode of Germany's Next Top Model, Heidi Klum wears one terrible outfit after the other (<a href="http://www.prosieben.at/var/prosieben/storage/images/tv/germanys-next-topmodel/bilder/staffel-9/episode-01/singapur-catwalktraining/gntm-stf09-epi01-singapur-catwalktraining-29-prosieben-oliver-s/7118498-1-ger-DE/GNTM-Stf09-Epi01-Singapur-Catwalktraining-29-ProSieben-Oliver-S_gallery_348.jpg">fishnets with something a funky Californian grandma might consider resortwear</a>), eats a kebab and ends up in hospital.

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Hallo ihr Lieben,</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">es geht loo-oos!
GNTM ist wieder über uns hereingefallen und ab jetzt wird hier wöchentlich
darüber gelästert. Wer das nicht mag: Ich poste auch weiterhin Nail Art und
anderen Kram (und im April/Mai ist der Spuk auch wieder vorbei).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Diesmal ist die
Zusammenfassung etwas spät dran, ich musste viel arbeiten und da hatte ich am
Abend dann nicht mehr viel Bock darauf, meine 5 Seiten Notizen in einen
lesbaren Artikel zu verwandeln – grad am Anfang sind da so viele Mädchen, die
ich miteinander verwechsle und von denen man teilweise nicht mal den Namen
erfährt, dass ein volles Play-by-Play nicht so spannend ist.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Welche Namen sie
nennen und welche Mädchen sie zeigen ist schwer zu durchschauen – früher konnte
man davon ausgehen, dass die nicht genannten auch nicht weiterkommen, aber
schon letztes Jahr waren dann plötzlich unter den Top 20 Mädchen, die ich die
ganze Sendung über noch nicht gesehen hatte... (und sogar Top 10, man denke da
an Jessika, die erst in <a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/04/gntm-staffel-8-folge-5.html">Folge 5 </a>auftauchte und dann auch gleich rausgeschmissen
wurde) </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> Wer mitschauen
möchte: Hier gibt’s die <a href="http://www.prosieben.de/tv/germanys-next-topmodel/video/91-episode-1-das-casting-ganze-folge">1. Folge</a> online.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Das Ganze beginnt
natürlich mit der Jury. Schließlich hat mal neues Mitglied Wolfgang <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> fiese Sachen über <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> gesagt und das müssen sie jetzt
irgendwie so hindrehen, dass eh alles gut ist. Und Film ab! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Heidi</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> stöckelt in roten Nuttenstiefeln und rotem Altefrauenwollstoff-Mantel mit <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> ins Auto und fährt in eine Wohnung,
die aussieht wie eine kleine Dachgeschoss-WG. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> hat angeblich Wolfgang <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>
noch nie getroffen. Der ist sich seiner Sache sehr sicher und weiß jetzt schon,
wer nicht durchkommt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> weiß, dass
er sehr lustig sei, und nennt ihn „<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wolle</b>“.
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> siezt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> und erklärt ihr, sie hätten ja schon lang miteinander
geflirtet. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> ist verwirrt. „Man
flirtet ja manchmal auch mit kleinen Frechheiten.“ – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>: „Ahh, okay... nicht da, wo ich herkomme.“</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Diesmal haben sie
die Top 70 eingeladen, davon auch wieder einige persönlich, wie wir im Laufe
der Folge sehen. Backstage sieht’s aus wie beim Casting für The Voice oder
Supertalent, nur mit weniger Gitarren und mehr Lästerei. Die Jury setzt sich
auf ihre Throne (<a href="http://www.prosieben.at/var/prosieben/storage/images/tv/germanys-next-topmodel/bilder/staffel-9/episode-01/vorab/gntm-stf09-epi01-vorab-11-prosieben-oliver-s/7110073-1-ger-DE/GNTM-Stf09-Epi01-Vorab-11-ProSieben-Oliver-S_gallery_348.jpg">Heidi weiterhin in den roten Stiefeln, diesmal mit rotem Flatteroberteil, und Joop in Schlangenhautoptikjacke</a>, eins grausliger als das andere) und lässt die Mädchen zu dritt vorlaufen, die anderen können
von draußen zusehen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> nennt
ihren Vater „Opa“ und erinnert ihn noch dran, das Handy auszuschalten.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Anna</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> findet sich lustig und erzählt von ihrer bisher abgefahrensten verrückten
Aktion: Mit einer Freundin bei einem Festival vor die Kameras springen und „die
Kamera liebt mich“ zu sagen und die Fotos zu versauen. Echt abgefahren, Mann.
Kleinmädchenstimme und rotbraune Haare. Große Ohren und „übertrieben großer
Mund“ (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>). Zahnspange. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa</b> will Model werden, weil sie gern
die Sau rauslässt. Virginia ist unspannend und sieht eher nach It-Girl aus. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b> wird Bikini anziehen geschickt,
Virginia heim und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa</b> hat nette
Bauchmuskeln und Busen (den <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> bekrittelt,
weil er zu groß sei) und bekommt einen knallpinken Schuh. Die Fixen bekommen
gleich ein Paar, die Wackelnden erstmal nur einen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b> geht im Bikini und kommt fix weiter.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Die diskutieren
die Kandidatinnen direkt vor ihrer Nase, recht unangenehm. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wolle</b> erklärt, dass niemand so gute Portraits mache wie er, und
fängt an, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b> aus dem Gedächtnis zu
skizzieren. Ich seh die Ähnlichkeit nicht, aber ich bin ja auch nicht die
Gesichtsexpertin.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Betty</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> wird von <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> aus dem Heim
abgeholt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> hat sich wohl ein
tristes Kinderheim vorgestellt, dabei ist es eine schöne sonnige WG. Dafür
klaut sie ihnen auch gleich das Essen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bettys</b>
Mutter war Model. Sehr süßes Mädchen, mit Stupsnase, Pausbäckchen,
Sommersprossen und dunklen Wuschellocken. Gehen kann sie nicht, und als Heidi ihr
am Laufsteg helfen will, lacht <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wolle</b>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> aus. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> hat auch gleich ein Bild von ihr gemalt, sie wird aber gleich
mal zum Haarglätten geschickt (schade – ich würd sie nicht wiedererkennen). Sie
eiert beim Gehen zwar immer noch hin und her, bekommt aber Schuhe. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Betty</b> scheint übrigens
ein Faible für Knöpfe zu haben – beim Casting trug sie Knopfohrringe und später hat sie im
Bett einen riesigen Knopf als Glücksbringer liegen.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Heidi</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> meint, sie will den Mädchen statt Fotos <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joops</b> Bilder geben, der ist pikiert: Die kosten normalerweise 15.000
Euro und hängen im Museum! Ja, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>
ist sehr überzeugt von sich.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Nancy</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> ist aus dem Odenwald, 21 und hat einen 2-jährigen Sohn, den sie gleich mit
auf den Laufsteg nimmt. So fällt man auf. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>
schmilzt gleich dahin, und als Joel dann winkt, ist Heidi auch hin und weg (nur
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> ist das unheimlich). <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> nimmt Joel in den Schoß, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> malt ihm ein Häschen (das sicher
auch 15.000 Euro kostet) und nimmt ihn dann auch gleich auf den Schoß. Auch die
Mutter ist gekauft und bekommt zwei Schuhe und freut sich gleich so doll, dass
sie fast ohne Kind abgetreten wär. Aber der will eh lieber bei Onkel <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> bleiben. Mir gefällt sie ganz gut.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Adele </b>ist aus
Usbekistan und legt gleich einen Strip mit Bauchtanz hin. Den Jungs gefällt‘s.
Sie preist auch gleich mal ihre eigenen langen Beine und Figur, wird aber nicht
genommen. Gesicht gefällt ihnen nicht und sie sei „unmodern“. Dann sehen wir
jede Menge Absagen, zwei, weil sie zu dünn sind (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wolle</b>n wir Wetten abschließen, wie viele Folgen es dauert, bis sie
den Kandidatinnen wieder vorwerfen, zu dick zu sein?). Eine nimmt den
Rausschmiss nicht hin und meint „müsst ihr euch jetzt aber gut überlegen“.
Daraufhin darf sie im Kleid gehen, aber <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>
findet sie dann doch „hausbacken“. Noch mehr Absagen, bittere Tränen im
Backstagebereich.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Thomas</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> ist im „tiefsten Bayern“ und zieht sich gleich an wie ein echter Bayer. Im
Wirtshaus wird tarockiert, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franzi</b>
erkennt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> gar nicht und denkt,
dass über den Gasthof ein Bericht gemacht wird. Auch als er sich vorstellt,
erkennt sie ihn nicht. (Genau so würd’s mir gehen.) Riesengroß aber ein
bisschen spitzes Gesicht und marschiert gleich in Lederhose und mit
Lebkuchenherz um den Hals auf den Laufsteg. Mit Letzterem wird die Jury
bestochen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> ist von ihr nicht
begeistert, ich auch nicht, aber die Jungs finden, sie habe Ausstrahlung und
sie bekommt zwei Schuhe.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Franzis</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> Klassenkollegin <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Simona</b> ist
ungefähr einen Kopf kleiner, darf aber gleich mal gehen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> findet es „very teasing“, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
bezeichnet es als „Rumhampeln“. Ich seh schon, es wird noch viele Diskussionen über
den Gehstil der Mädchen geben. Nach einem weniger gehampelten Walk bekommt sie
auch zwei Schuhe.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Es zieht sich alles ein bisschen. Als „lustige“
Einlagen sehen wir, wie die Jury nach mehr Schuhen und Kaffee verlangt. Und es
werden Produkte geplaced. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b>
war in Mailand, wie sie nicht müde wird zu betonen (das Mädchen neben ihr
verdreht schon die Augen, als sie zum 5. Mal „Mailand“ sagt). Sie muss
schauspielern, weinen kann sie aber nicht auf Anhieb, was ihr <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> scheinbar übel nimmt. Hübsches
Gesicht, gute Haut, meint die Jury. Kriegt einen Schuh. Wetten, das wird die „everybody
loves to hate her“-Zicke?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Thomas</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> reitet auf einem sehr nervösen Pferd zu <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Imme</b> auf den Reiterhof. Ein Wunder, dass es ihm nicht durchgeht,
das Pferd ist echt nicht glücklich. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Imme</b>
dafür schon. Jedenfalls bis ihr Vater, der aussieht wie John Cleese, beim
Casting von den ganzen schönen Mädls schwärmt, weil am Dorf sind die einzigen
Hübschen ja seine Töchter (seine Frau lässt er da mal aus, was der auch gleich
auffällt). That awkward moment when your Dad checks out the 16-year-olds around
you...</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Sie hat in ihrem Trio
fette Konkurrenz. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> aus
Bergisch-Gladbach, ein bildhübsches schwarzes Mädchen in einem schwarzen
Spitzenbody (und sonst nicht viel) läuft gut. Ich find sie total schön und ihre
Frisur ist so cool. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Imme</b> finden sie
alle süß aber weiter kommt sie nicht. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ivana</b>
ist 1,78, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> findet aber, ihre
Proportionen seien komisch und ihr Kopf zu groß. Nach näherer Inspektion lässt
er sie aber doch weiter.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Unter ferner
liefen kommen dann noch <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Antonia</b> (wurde
vom Ballettkurs abgeholt), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ina</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Samantha</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jill</b> (interessantes Gesicht, Hut) und ein paar namenlose Mädchen
weiter.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Lisa G.</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">, Kosmetiker-Azubi, sieht aus wie ein Klischee mit ihren blonden strohigen
Extensions - hat aber total abgesplitterte Nägel. Die Extensions müssen gleich beim
Casting raus (je-des Mal sind sie überrascht, dass die Extensions rausmüssen...
wann lernt ihr das endlich?) Die sind aber so verklebt, dass man ihr nicht mal
einen Kurzhaarschnitt machen kann, also schnippelt die Haarstylistin einfach
ihre Extensions zurecht. Ich versteh nicht wirklich, warum sie weiterkommt,
aber sie tut es.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dann kommen die
Wackelkandidatinnen – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stefanie</b>, die
wir bisher noch nicht gesehen haben, die aber in einem Beerdigungskleid und
dann im Fransenbikini daherkam. (Wo ich herkomme, ist „Rockabilly Hillbilly“
kein Kompliment, Herr <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>.) Nachdem
sie nur drei aussortieren müssen, ist das alles nicht so wild. Mit dabei sind <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stefanie</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Laura</b> (auch noch nie gesehen, erinnert mich aber an Marie aus
Staffel 4), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa</b> mit den
Bauchmuskeln, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fata</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pauline</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> (die schon mal in Mailand war).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dann sind sie alle
versammelt, die 25 pinkbeschuhten Quietschmäuse und erfahren, dass sie am nächsten
Tag nach Singapur fliegen.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Heidi</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> hält im Auto ins Hotel einen Döner-Monolog (sie braucht jetzt unbedingt einen, sie
freut sich schon den ganzen Tag drauf, eigentlich ist das ja nicht so das tolle
Modelessen aber egal, man muss ja auch essen) und holt sich einen mit allem.
Der Döner-Verkäufer ist von ihr relativ unbeeindruckt und die coolste Socke,
die ich in der Sendung bisher gesehen hab. Können wir den bitte mitnehmen?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dann sehen wir
eine schöne Montage von Mädels, die Singapur geografisch so überhaupt nicht
zuordnen können (nicht mal die mit Erkunde-Leistungskurs). Im Flugzeug (ohne <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b>) zeigt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
mal wieder, wie mütterlich sie ist, und weckt dabei die armen
Mädls auf, die grad im Flugzeug in der Mittelreihe (schlimmste Reihe!
Nix zum seitlich Anlehnen und dauernd will wer durch!) schlafen.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dafür haben sie
in Singapur aber einen eigens mit GNTM-Logos beklebten Sightseeing-Bus und
gehen in einem Dachpool schwimmen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Betty</b>
erklärt auf Nachfrage <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>, dass
sie eher mit Jungs als Mädls befreundet ist, weil Jungs nicht so rumzicken. In
Fernsehserien nennt man sowas "foreshadowing". </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Sie sind in einem
ziemlich luxuriösen Hotel untergebracht. Diesmal erfahren sie sogar im Voraus,
was passiert und wissen deshalb, dass es ein Bikinishooting gibt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b> hat ein massives Tattoo am Bauch,
das die Jury noch nicht kennt. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jill</b>
verzieht das Gesicht, sie sieht das schon böse enden. Die anderen versuchen, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b> aufzubauen, sie weint aber trotzdem.
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jill</b> schaut weiterhin skeptisch,
macht dann aber doch noch beim kameratauglichen Grouphug mit.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">In der Werbepause
läuft der hochdramatische Bewerbungsaufruf für ANTM 2015 – boys and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">girls</i> (dieses Jahr haben sie keines
gemacht). Die Kulisse wär beeindruckender, wenn ich über diese Stufen und durch
diese Gänge nicht schon tausendmal zur Unibibliothek gegangen wär. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Aber zurück aus
der Werbepause geht’s jetzt ans Eingemachte. Fotocheck nennt sich das. Fotograf
ist <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Christian Anwander</b>, den ich von
der Aussprache her nicht als Österreicher erkannt hätte und der echt gute Fotos
macht.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Eine Rothaarige (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jana</b>?) meint, dass sie wahrscheinlich
Leute aussortieren werden, deren Typ schon mal vertreten ist. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b> aus Bayern sitzt neben ihr
und denkt, dass es für die „das ist jetzt nicht böse gemeint oder rassistisch
aber (... ) die Dunkleren“ schwieriger wird, weil‘s von ihnen 3 gibt. (Klar,
weil die ja alle 1 Typ sind...) <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b>
ist entrüstet, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b> (bisher auch
nicht vorgekommen) meint, dass sie bessere Chancen haben, weil <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b> ein viel üblicherer Typ ist
als sie. Aber <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b> hat es natürlich
nicht so gemeint. Vielleicht, aber es kommt trotzdem so rüber. Aber immerhin will
sie sich entschuldigen und das klarstellen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> will davon nix hören.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Franziska</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>s</b> dieser Welt: Es mag schon sein, dass ihr es
nicht so meint. Aber so zu tun, als wäre „Hautfarbe: dunkel“ ein einziger Typ
ist eine Reduktion einer ganzen Person auf ihre Hautfarbe. Es gibt ja im
Wettbewerb ja auch mehr als ein „weißes“ Mädchen. Und gerade diese drei
Mädchen, um die’s hier geht, sind drei extrem unterschiedliche Typen: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sainabou</b> ist süß und lockig, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> ist tough und hat eine Frisur
wie diese Sängerin aus den 80ern und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b>
ist keck und pfiffig. Eine gute Faustregel fürs Leben allgemein ist: Wenn euer Satz
mit „das ist nicht rassistisch gemeint, aber“ beginnt, lasst den Satz sein,
denn dann ist es meistens rassistisch.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">So, jetzt werden
25 Mädchen im Pool fotografiert. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b>
macht den Anfang in einem weißen Bikini und macht viele verschiedene Posen und echt
heiße Fotos. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franzi</b><b>s</b> Gesicht ist
„nicht eingeschaltet“. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jills</b> Gesicht
ist nicht ebenmäßig und sie soll auf ihren Kopf aufpassen (und sein wir mal
ehrlich: der Grinser auf dem Foto war Typ Breitmaulfrosch – dabei fand ich sie
eigentlich ganz interessant). <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Betty</b>
kann nicht nur süß, sondern auch cool und ernst schauen und macht ein gutes
Foto. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b> (mit der Zahnspange) ist
gut. Dann kommt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancys</b> dramatische
Tattoo-Offenlegung, von der die Jury herzlich unbeeindruckt ist. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
beruhigt sie – sei alles normal heutzutage. Solang’s nicht im Gesicht ist,
meint <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b> weint vor Erleichterung und muss sich vor dem Fotoshooting
erstmal wieder beruhigen. Sieht auf Fotos besser aus als in Natura, sagt <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> ist auch sehr begeistert von ihr. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sarah</b>: Große Nase, dicke Augenbrauen aber echt cooler Look. Die
eine mit den Sommersprossen (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pauline</b>?)
schaut aus wie 12, aber sie mögen das Foto. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> ist laut <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>
„jemand, der vorm Spiegel zu viel gepost hat“. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Nach dem Mittagessen
gibt’s Catwalktraining, von dem wir aber kaum was sehen, eigentlich laufen nur alle
mal und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> geben ihren Senf dazu. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jill</b> gefällt ihnen auch beim Laufen
nicht, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b> dafür sehr. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Irina</b> ist die „Überraschung des Tages“.
Für mich auch, denn bisher ist sie nicht vorgekommen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Betty</b> rettet sich ein bisschen (dabei war die doch beim Foto gut?),
aber <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> passiert in ihrem
Gesicht nicht genug. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa S.</b> gefällt
ihnen in beidem nicht so toll. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa G.</b>
geht auch nicht gut, war beim Foto aber gut. Sie hat sich mit ihren eigenen
Schuhen (die voller Spikes sind) die Füße aufgestochen. Weil sie sonst keine
schwarzen Schuhe dabei hat. Ey, was geht denn da ab? <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nathalie</b> post schon wieder zu viel, ihre Gesichtsmuskulatur ist
komplett steif. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anna</b> findet <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> „edgy“ aber ist sich nicht
sicher, ob er sie gut findet. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sarah</b>
(deren Namen ich ehrlich gesagt bei Walk zum ersten Mal hör, die mit den
Augenbrauen) sieht aus „wie ein Reh in der Schockstarre“ (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b>) aber „hat was“ (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">(Oh Gott, ich seh
gerade, dass <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> eine
<a href="http://www.prosieben.at/var/prosieben/storage/images/tv/germanys-next-topmodel/bilder/staffel-9/episode-01/singapur-catwalktraining/gntm-stf09-epi01-singapur-catwalktraining-29-prosieben-oliver-s/7118498-1-ger-DE/GNTM-Stf09-Epi01-Singapur-Catwalktraining-29-ProSieben-Oliver-S_gallery_348.jpg">Netzstrumpfhose anhat. Darüber ein Omi-Oberteil</a>. WTF?)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dann ist Nacht, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Franziska</b> entschuldigt sich bei <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b> unter Tränen. Sehr gut kommt das aber nicht an. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karlin</b> umarmt sie trotzdem mal und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> wird auch noch zum Umarmen
gedrängt, verdreht dabei aber die Augen.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Nächster morgen: </span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Heidi</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> ist krank und hat Fieber und Bauchweh (war’s der Döner?) und sie und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thomas</b> sudern, weil sie so ungern Leute
rauswerfen. Manche sind nervös. „Zu viel Angst soll man nicht haben. Man soll
nur Angst vor Gott haben“, meint allerdings eine. Die Kinders liegen alle im
Bett und bleiben dort liegen, während <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b>
die Mappen überreicht. Weiter sind alle außer <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jill</b> und <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa S.</b> (Bauchmuskeln). </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Heidi</span></b><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> ist zwar komplett fiebrig, will aber zu einer Fashionshow. Damit endet die
Folge auch. Aber wir sehen ja gleich in der Vorschau <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Heidi</b> im Krankenhaus, die drum bittet, die Kamera auszumachen. Fair
enough, aber macht ihr das bei den Mädls auch, wenn sie euch darum bitten?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">In Red erfahren
wir noch, dass <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sarah</b>
Waldorfschülerin ist. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jana</b> kann mit
dem Bauch rollen. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Joop</b> findet <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa G.</b> die überschminkte Kosmetikerin
nicht so toll. „Billige Schminke aus dem Schleckerregal mündet in ein
unappetitliches Chaos im Gesicht.“ „So süß wie eine Praline“ findet er dafür <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy</b>. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aminata</b> musste „ihre geliebte Heimat Afrika“ (mehr generalisieren
konnte man das nicht, Redaktion? Oder ist das in eurer geliebten Heimat Europa
nicht so streng?) wegen Kriegs verlassen. Sie hat in einem Jahr Deutsch
gelernt, Hammer. Sie ist jetzt grad mal seit 3 Jahren da und mir wär nicht aufgefallen, dass sie nicht dort geboren ist. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Und, habt ihr
euch durchgekämpft? (Das kann jetzt sowohl für meinen Text als auch die Sendung
gelten...) Wie fandet ihr’s? (Die Sendung.)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">So früh ist es
noch schwer, Voraussagen zu treffen, aber hier mal ein paar allgemeinere
Vermutungen:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Nathalie </b>und <b>Franziska
</b>haben gutes Bitch-Potential. <b>Nathalie </b>ist vielleicht gar nicht boshaft aber sie ist
so von sich überzeugt, dass sie sicher bei den anderen nicht gut ankommen wird.
Und ich glaub <b>Franziska</b> hat es faustdick hinter den Ohren, die ist nicht so süß
wie sie tut. Von <b>Jana </b>hab ich wenig gesehen, aber könnte auch sein.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Aminata </b>wird weit
kommen, aber irgendwann wird man ihr vorwerfen, „zu sexy“ zu sein (ich
persönlich glaub ja, dass sie auch anderes kann, aber ihr wisst ja, wie das in
der Sendung läuft).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Rauswurfkandidaten:
<b>Betty </b>wird umstritten sein. Sie ist süß und Heidi liebt sie, versucht sie zum
Sozialfall aufzubauen wie Jacqui, aber Thomas kritisiert, dass sie nicht
vielseitig genug sei. Bei <b>Sarah </b>seh ich die Gefahr, dass sie ihnen nicht
kommerziell genug ist, <b>Anna </b>sieht auf manchen Fotos aus wie Callista Flockhart
(das ist der Mund), auf anderen aber noch schlimmer – und Joop findet ihren Mund zu
groß. Wird schwer für sie.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><b>Lisa </b>die
Kosmetikerin wird’s nicht lang machen und schmeißt spätestens beim Umstyling
die Nerven weg, wenn ihr die Haare komplett abrasiert werden, weil die
Extensions so tief drin verklebt sind. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Meine Favoriten
(hauptsächlich optisch): <b>Aminata, Sarah</b> und <b>Betty. </b>Bei <b>Fata </b>und <b>Laura H. </b>bin
ich gespannt, von denen hat man ja leider noch nicht viel gesehen.</span></span></div>

Dear readers,<br />
It's been a long time since I last participated in the Crumpet's Nail Tarts tri-polish challenge, and there's been a a rule change, along with the new name "Tri-Polish Tuesdays", so here's a quick reminder of the rules: Each month, there are three colours that you can use in your manis (but you can now use different polishes every week instead of using the same ones all month). All manis must contain at least two of these colours and one must use all three. White, black, silver, gold and glitter are also allowed. Manis are posted on Tuesdays and that's pretty much it!<br />
<br />

<br />
This month's colours are grey, brown and pink, which makes for some very pretty combinations. I'm joining in for week two with a Valentine's day mani (I don't actually do Valentine's day, but hearts can be pretty cute).<br />

<br />
The polishes I'm using this month (because I did this and another mani before learning about the rule change) are <i>LynBDesigns Eloquent Dust</i>, <i>Boulevard de Beauté 16 </i>and <i>MaxFactor Coffee Brown (22)</i>.<br />

Peace out,<br />

Today's post is a bit of a hodge-podge of several things: Nail art, giveaway winner and a few words about modeling contests.<br />
<br />
I've been seriously off my game in the regular nail art department - it's either something huge and crazy or nothing at all. My last attempts at dotting and sponging turned out disgusting. That and the lack of time are the reasons I haven't been contributing to all the great challenges going around this year. But finally it's time!<br />
<br />

<br />
Here's my contribution to the Nail Art Ideas Linkup challenge for this week: Red. This challenge is hosted by <a href="http://craftynail.com/nail-linkup/">Craftynail</a>, <a href="http://brijitsdigits.net/">Brijit's Digits</a> and <a href="http://eeeeknailpolish.com/">Eeek! Nail polish!</a> and there's a different theme every week.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I made what is apparently called a "waterfall" mani with a bunch of red polishes. It was fun and easy to make and made me feel better about my nail art. Make sure to check out the other contributions in the linky below!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Next, my giveaway winner. I drew a name early this week using the highly sophisticated method of a list (first the original post, then the reminder post, in the order of commenting) and a randomizer. The lucky winner was Alice Beerland, who has already replied to my mail and chose the beauty package. Congratulations again! I've added a few small extra surprises for you and I'll get it to the post office next week.<br />
<br />
I hope you all enjoyed getting to know my blog (if you didn't already). <br />

And now a bit of a warning: You'll be seeing more than the usual number of German posts here for the next couple of months because it's that time of the year again - Germany's Next Top Model (a knockoff of America's NTM, hosted by Heidi Klum) has started.<br />
<br />
I know, I know, it's all staged, the model business objectifies women, detrimental to body image and exploitation of hopeful young girls. I agree completely.<br />
<br />
Please do not watch this kind of show if you have any kind of self-esteem, body image or eating issues. If you do watch it, please remember that the body shapes demanded by the modeling business are far from the norm and that photos and videos can be manipulated, and often are. Do not starve yourself. Do not neglect everything else to become a model. Do not despair if you're not tall, or don't have gorgeous hair, or don't conform to the beauty standards set by the industry. You are beautiful. Everybody is beautiful. Who you are matters so much more than how you look. Take care of yourself (your body and your mind) and love yourself.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I think it's awful that 10-year-olds watch these shows and want to be like the girls they see there. I think it would be a good idea to ban them, along with all the other shows and ads that can give people unhealthy ideas of what a body should look like.<br />
<br />
However, all that said: If you are confident in your body, if you are aware it's just a show, that much of it is scripted, that we only see a selective slice of reality, and if trashy TV is your guilty pleasure, enjoy these shows. Just don't take them seriously.<br />
<br />
So yes, it is my guilty (very guilty, as you can probably tell from the paragraphs above) pleasure to watch these shows and to mock them relentlessly. I'm sorry, girls, but if, after so many seasons of seeing how relentlessly participants (and judges) are mocked everywhere, you decide to participate anyway, all I can do is tell you and your friends and family not to read my blog.<br />
<br />
So anyway, back to the blogging aspect: Since this is a German-language show, it doesn't really make sense for me to write about it in English, since you won't be watching it anyway. However, there will be brief summaries at the beginning of each post, usually about the horrific and inexplicable things Heidi decided to wear in that episode (<a href="http://www.prosieben.at/polopoly_fs/gntm-stf08-epi04-sexy-walk-075-oliver-s-prosiebenjpg-1.3527792.1363702464!/httpImage/GNTM-stf08-epi04-Sexy-Walk-075-Oliver-S-ProSieben.jpg_gen/derivatives/FORMAT_486_273/GNTM-stf08-epi04-Sexy-Walk-075-Oliver-S-ProSieben.jpg">Dalek coat</a> and <a href="http://perezhilton.com/cocoperez/2013-02-08-heidi-klum-wears-ugly-fur-vest-to-new-york-fashion-week">hamster life vest</a>, I'm looking at you). If you want more English snark, you might enjoy my Model House Rules (<a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/01/the-model-house-rules-part-i.html">pt I</a>, <a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/01/the-model-house-rules-part-ii.html">pt II</a> and <a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/02/the-model-house-rules-part-iii.html">pt III</a>).<br />
<br />
<br />
But don't worry, this won't turn into a complete GNTM blog, I'll still be posting nail art - hopefully more frequently than so far this year.<br />
<br />
Have a fantastic weekend! <br />

<br />
Work's still keeping me busy, so here's a quick post with nail art I somehow neglected to post in November - my nails for Thor: The Dark World. I love me some Marvelverse!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-43LT2IVonbo/Uu5fkBy0jyI/AAAAAAAAB2M/72ir4cyi1lc/s1600/PB218965+%28620x465%29.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-43LT2IVonbo/Uu5fkBy0jyI/AAAAAAAAB2M/72ir4cyi1lc/s1600/PB218965+(620x465).jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The base is LynBDesigns <i>Little Foot</i>, and if I remember correctly, Mjolnir is LynBDesigns <i>Eloquent Dust</i> topped with ILNP <i>Bottle Service</i>, with the handle in some Essence brown. The lightning is some random white polish topped with a bit of Model's Own <i>Indian Ocean</i>, which gives it a nice glow (same as the arc reactor in my <a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/06/iron-man.html">Iron Man</a> mani). I had glowier photos on my phone but that died so you'll just have to trust me on that ;)<br />

Giveaway news: The giveaway has ended and I'll be drawing the winner tonight or tomorrow and contacting them by e-mail. Once they've responded, I'll announce their name on the blog. Thanks for participating!<br />
<br />
Have a nice day - and for those of you watching the Superbowl: Enjoy the game! I'll be watching, but I still need to pick a team and re-watch <a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/02/basic-football-with-burt-reynolds.html">Basic Football with Burt Reynolds</a>. As you can probably tell, I'm really dedicated to this sport ;)<br />

Dear readers,<br />
<br />
I.O.U. - a review of His Last Vow. But to be honest, that Sherlock season finale was filled with so many brilliant and funny and unexpected (and any combination of those) scenes that I'm still not quite sure what to think. Meaning, I need to watch it again and then I need to write about it, and that could take a while. I'm pretty busy with work at the moment, so I'll just try to get it done by the time the episode airs in the US...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
In the meantime, have a dragon. No review of the Hobbit (reasons: see above), just the eye of Smaug amid his hoard of gold. <br />
<br />

Stay safe and don't meddle in the affairs of dragons!<br />

<br />
It seems my original <a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/12/blogiversary.html">blogiversary post</a> got lost somewhere among all the Christmas stuff, or perhaps it was tl;dr, so here's a brief reminder. I decided to extend it to 31 January and added another prize.<br />

I’d like to apologise for punching you right in the feels. Don’t think the nail
art is sad? Stay away from this post until you’ve watched the episode or you’ll be majorly spoiled.
Seen the episode but still don’t have enough feels about that scene? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVdQ6A0IkDw#t=93">Listen to this</a>, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">But wait, it’s a happy and funny episode,
right? In fact, it’s the funniest Sherlock episode ever. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Best man speech! Drunk deductions! “Am I a
pretty lady?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Half a year has passed since Sherlock’s sudden
reappearance, filled with cases (check out <a href="http://johnwatsonblog.co.uk/">John’s blog</a>!) and, more importantly,
wedding preparations. Sherlock is the best wedding planner and maid of honour anyone
could ask form throwing himself into the wedding preparations with a fervour
usually only reserved for particularly interesting cases. He vets the wedding
guests (Sherlock’s mini-me is just the best thing ever! Everybody’s parent!lock
fics just came true). He even comes up with several napkin folding suggestions
and tries to tell Mary he learned it for a case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"I’m not John, I can tell when you’re
fibbing." – "Learned it on youtube."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Yeah, Mary’s totally running her boys. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Poor Sherlock. The disbelief in his eyes as
he realised John considered him his best friend was heart-wrenching. Oh
Sherlock, you didn’t know?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">He may not be the best best man ever, but
he’s definitely the best wing man ever (at least for weeding out the bad ones).</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Sherlock’s definitely off his game though.
Twice during the wedding he makes “one more deduction than I was expecting”. The
emotions he discovered during his absence and after his return are making
things harder. Alone used to be what he had, “alone protects me”. But he didn’t
realise he was lonely until he had had John’s companionship and then had to
leave for two years (see his comment to Mycroft in the previous episode, when
Mycroft says he’s not lonely: "How would you know?") </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">So now he deduces the sign of three (turned
that title around completely, furthest departure from any A.C. Doyle titles so
far, content-wise) and realises it is indeed the end of an era. But he vows to
protect them, to always stick by them. It is as touching a scene as I’ve seen
with the three of them. And then he sends them to dance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Mary: "But what about you?"–
John: "We can’t all three dance. There are limits." – Sherlock:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Yes, there are."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">This is adorable and sad at the same time
all by itself, but if you’d like to add some subtext, remember how Moffat used
"dancing" as a euphemism for sex in Doctor Who? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o72kuFTpO9s#t=82">Yeah</a>.
Also, want some more crazy talk about nebulous hidden references? That episode,
The Doctor Dances, is the one in which “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhklrve5xmw#t=206">just this once, everybody lives</a>“. As does everybody in this episode. (Though to be fair, nobody died in The Empty
Hearse either. Told you it was nebulous. It’s most likely just a coincidence
(even if the universe rarely is that lazy), but it’s a pretty one.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">But Sherlock doesn’t get to dance, does he.
Not even with head bridesmaid 'it’s a shame you’re...whatever you are' Janine. Even
though he loves to dance so much...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Instead, he leaves the wedding early. Alone
used to be what protected him. But it doesn’t anymore. If ever there was a
danger night, this is it.</span></div>

on His Last Vow, which airs tomorrow, but I’m so nervous about it that it’s taken
me this long to even get a coherent post about The Sign of Three written. I’m embarrassed
to admit this, but I haven’t been able to think about anything else all week. I
don’t remember a TV show ever getting into my head like this. It’s a testament
to the writing skills of Moffat, Gatiss and team and the acting skills of the
entire cast that they have managed to captivate me like this. Whatever the
ending, I know it will be brilliant. I’ve already heard it’s unexpected, which
gives me hope, as all the endings I’m imagining are devastating. So perhaps,
just this once, everybody lives.</span></div>

<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Considering his was the first fandom, with people mourning him in public, wearing black armbands and accosting Arthur Conan Doyle on the streets when he killed </span><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">off </span>Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls in The Final Problem, I'd say he's pretty well loved.

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>221b</b><br />
<br />
Here dwell together still two men of note<br />
Who never lived and so can never die:<br />
How very near they seem, yet how remote<br />
That age before the world went all awry.<br />
<br />
But still the game’s afoot for those with ears<br />
Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo:<br />
England is England yet, for all our fears—<br />
Only those things the heart believes are true.<br />
<br />
A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane<br />
As night descends upon this fabled street:<br />
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,<br />
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.<br />
<br />
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,<br />
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.<br />
<br />
-- Vincent Starrett (1886-1974) <br />
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"></span></blockquote>
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">1895 began about 7 months after
Holmes' return from the dead. BBC Sherlock has returned and is
now celebrating his best friend's wedding nine months later. For Sherlock
and John, right now, it is their 1895.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">I love those closing lines. Starrett wrote this poem in 1942, during World War 2. But it is just as true today: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are still alive, 126 years after A Study in Scarlet was first published. </span><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">They have lived on in
countless incarnations, on radio, in movies and on TV, in Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's books and in the thousands of stories written by Holmes
aficionados</span> <span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">(the Sherlock Holmes fandom: Producing fanfic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-canonical_Sherlock_Holmes_works">since 1893</a>.</span>)<br />
Their faces may change, but somewhere, those two will always sit in their chairs by the fire, smoking their pipes (or applying nicotine patches or experimenting with eyeballs to deal with quitting smoking), reading the papers, and Sherlock Holmes will explain his deductions to his adoring John Watson.<br />
<br />
Happy birthday, Mr Holmes.<br />

<span lang="EN-GB">We know Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss are aware of what goes on on tumblr, so they probably just decided to do
a nice little "best of" medley for the episode. (Heck, I wouldn’t be awfully
surprised if they came out on Sunday with the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">actual</i> first episode of the season and went "haha, just messing

<span lang="EN-GB">So yes. After two years‘ wait, he's finally
back. For readers of George R. R. Martin’s books, two years is a blink of an
eye, but I'm still glad to finally see Series 3 of Sherlock. I watched the first episode and it
was one giant festival of poking fun at fans and still managing to be a brilliant Sherlock
episode (and then I watched it again because I was laughing so
hard in some places I missed some of the subtler things).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Sherlock
is back, thankfully with a haircut
(the Jesus hair didn’t really suit him) and a possibly new but still
dramatic
coat ("I have lots of coats."). He’s ready to have it out with Mycroft
over a
game of chess – no, wait, Operation (bahaha) and to pick up with John
where he
left it, because what life could he have had while Sherlock was gone. So
naturally he goes to surprise him at a restaurant, only to find him
perusing the wine menu (not the dessert menu, like I assumed) and
wondering how
to propose to Mary (<a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/08/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and.html">called that one</a>, but it was rather obvious).</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">I didn’t particularly expect to like Mary’s
character (though I didn’t set out to hate her, and certainly not Amanda
Abbington, as some crazies have done - I just couldn't picture the dynamic), but I LOVE HER. She is cool, she is
funny, and she totally ships it. (As does Mrs Hudson, loved that scene! "So
soon after Sherlock? What’s his name?" – "It’s a woman." – "A woman?! My, you
really have moved on!") </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I love how at first she’s all 'you bastard, you have no
idea what you’ve put him through' but then as he’s explaining it at Speedy’s
and the kebab place, she starts to come round and by the next morning she’s reading the stories on
the blog and totally fangirling for them to get together again (in a
crime-fighting way, of course). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">And can we take a moment to remark how SMART
she is? She recognised the text message cipher right away. (Okay, maybe that’s
because she’s a clever linguist, as Sherlock deduced. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But he also deduced she’s a liar. I’m not
quite sure whether to interpret his expression as she gets into the cab as
worried or simply confused by this woman.) Is she just awesome or is there
something sinister about it? Is she in cahoots with Mystery Man? God, I hope
not, she’s just way too cool. I hope she lives a much longer and happier life
than in Conan Doyle’s books. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">John’s moustache: Loved Sherlock’s "we’ll
have to get rid of that". Thank God John did, that thing was really awful. "Does yours come off too?" was also a pretty good one. But oh Sherlock, did you
really have no idea how inappropriate your appearance at the restaurant was?
Grinning like a child with a particularly good trick, emphasising the "old
friend" and "familiar face" and despairing when John doesn’t react, so pleased
with himself when John finally recognises him... John’s reaction was spot on.
Having him pretty much lose his voice from being overwhelmed and shocked and furious was a
nice touch. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Sherlock’s either changed during the time
he was away and come to realise he misses John and gotten better at showing
emotions - or he’s gotten better at faking them. You see it a lot in this
episode: The discussion about friends and loneliness with Mycroft (could just
be to rile him though, since Mycroft obviously has even worse issues than
Sherlock), his conversation with Molly at the end of their day together (and
the little kiss), the way he wants to surprise John. Of course in the train
he’s obviously faking (and probably faking the mind palace exploration as
well), but did he have this sort of humour before? And John’s commentary in his
head while he’s trying to use Molly as a substitute sidekick (engaged Molly,
who very, very obviously has a type, and it’s not 'sociopath'), not
enjoying the showing off without John there. "Forgot to turn up your collar", "jealous?". The other emotions he displays in the episode may be faked, but
this is real. He feels incomplete without John. Overall, he seems more
emotionally invested in the world around him.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I always like it when a show pokes a bit of
fun at the fans. This episode definitely hits all the buttons. All the
different crazy Fall theories... I felt pretty let down at the beginning when I
thought that this was actually how it happened... and then I fell for it again
with the last version, going "seriously? They got it right? Even the ball? Wow!"
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>– I really should have gotten suspicious
when I thought I recognised the phrasing of the ball explanation from a theory
I’d read). My favourite has to be the Sheriarty one though, and I’m glad to say
I didn’t fall for that one. Their giggling and the faces they pull – priceless. And of
course the kiss. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">The terrorist plot is pretty decent but, as
in any Sherlock episode, far from complete because there’s layers there (in this case it was mostly the backdrop against which all the important stuff happened). I had
an issue with the missing train car (not carriage) though: Wouldn’t Train Guy
have spotted the train being too short for the platform? Pretty sure they have
the same amount of cars on those trains. Should’ve looked different on the
footage, assuming both cameras were at the end of their platforms. Unless they
use shorter trains at night and it therefore didn’t strike Train Guy as odd? By
the way, I totally called the <i>"</i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">underground</i>

upset that I already know who the
Mystery Man at the end is. Did you really have to give his identity away
in advance, BBC? I would have enjoyed the mystery of not having any
idea who this
ominous man was who seems to be behind the bonfire incident, possibly
even the bombing... he could have been a remnant of Moriarty’s network,
perhaps even the man himself.
I feel cheated out of the thrill of speculation.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">But let's not forget that it's not all about fandom references, there's also the usual brilliant play with A.C. Doyle canon references. I thought it was a nice nod to The Empty House to have an old <strike>book</strike> porn collector (British Birds was a genius touch!) whom Watson suspects of being Holmes in disguise but who' really just some old guy (instead of Watson suspecting nothing in the original when Holmes in disguise shows him books with the same titles as the porn here, then fainting when Holmes takes off the disguise). Then of course there's the striking fact that The Empty Hearse only referred to Anderson's little fanclub and there's no Adair in sight, and Moran is someone completely different. There's A Case of Identity (and look at how angry Sherlock is at the stepfather!), and I realised I had been both right and wrong about the rat hint (yes, Sumatra, but not the way I imagined it). I'm sure I missed a few more.</span><br />

won't have escaped your attention that this post contains gifs for the

everything I said except <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/ellievhall/tumblr-reacts-to-the-sherlock-season-3-premiere">briefer and funnier</a>. And they spotted a TARDIS. Whoa. But they're also crying, which I'm not. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Dear readers,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">It's
the last day of the year and I'm spending a few hours of it on a train
surrounded by a bunch of drinking and chatting but surprisingly
un-annoying young boys on their way to
spend New Year’s Eve in the big city. Since they’re not pestering me or
screaming rude stuff and seem very excited about their big adventure, I
wish
them a wonderful night while being glad I’ll be spending it more quietly
and
surrounded by far less people at a friend’s. We’ll have good food, good
drinks,
good fun, play board games and watch the fireworks from the rooftop. In
the
meantime, I decided to fill in the same questionnaire as I did last year
to see
whether anything has changed (more or less, I changed a few points).
Want to
answer some of the questions too?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Heute ist der
letzte Tag des Jahres und zwei Stunden davon verbringe ich im Zug neben einer
Gruppe biertrinkender, quatschender aber überraschenderweise nicht lästiger
junger Burschen, die offenbar Silvester in der Großstadt verbringen wollen.
Nachdem sie mich in Ruhe lassen und nicht ordinär rumschreien, wünsche ich
ihnen viel Spaß und einen guten Rutsch, bin aber gleichzeitig froh, dass ich
meinen Silvesterabend in wesentlich kleinerer und ruhigerer Runde mit Freunden
verbringen kann. Gut essen und trinken, Brettspiele spielen und von der
Dachterrasse aus die Feuerwerke bewundern. Bis es so weit ist, füll ich hier
mal den Fragebogen von letztem Jahr aus (mit ein paar kleinen Änderungen).
Vielleicht habt ihr ja auch Lust, ein paar der Fragen zu beantworten?</span><br />

the stale and overheated air of a tent that the sun turned into a hothouse and someone
ripped out a few of the hooks or spilled beer on it during the night, only to
be faced with the decision of whether not showering is grosser than showering
in the communal showers and then have bad coffee while waiting for the hangover
to pass and the first bands to start playing. Minus: Street cred. Plus: Got to

Dear readers past, present and future,<br />
<br />
About
a year ago I was sick in bed for several weeks. Feeling too crummy to
do anything but spend time on the Internet, I discovered the world of
nail blogs - via a comment on a book blog, incidentally, which seems
appropriate given how nicely these two interests of mine mix. At the
time, I had 3 polishes to my name. Then I won a blog contest and had 4.
And then I decided I wanted to put more than one polish on my nails at a
time and show that to the world, so I started this blog.<br />
<br />
<i>Liebe LeserInnen und solche, die es noch werden wollen,</i><br />
<i><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">ein Jahr ist es
jetzt her, dass ich dieses Blog startete. Ich war letzten Dezember mehrere
Wochen krank und verbrachte viel zu viel Zeit im Internet. Über eines der
Buchblogs, die ich lese, kam ich zufällig auf einen Nagellackblog. Eins führte
zum anderen und plötzlich las ich jede Menge Beauty- und Nagellackblogs (obwohl
ich damals nur 3 besaß). Und dann gewann ich einen vierten Nagellack und hatte
plötzlich das Bedürfnis, mehr als nur einen Lack auf einmal zu tragen und das
der Welt zu zeigen. </span> </i><br />

At the time, I called it The
Nail Newbie, because that's what I was. I don't feel like one anymore,
so my blog has a different name now that represents who I am and what I
do on this blog much better. I've learned a lot about nail art in the
last year, I've started showing my geeky side in earnest and bought a
lot of polish (cough cough). Want to jump in the TARDIS with me and
revisit a few steps of my journey?<i><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"> </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Ich war damals
wirklich ein komplettes Newbie in der Welt des Nagellacks, daher auch der
Blogname. Inzwischen habe ich einen neuen Namen, der mein neues „Blog-Ich“
besser trifft. Im letzten Jahr habe ich sehr viel über Nail Art gelernt, meine
Nerd-Interessen immer mehr in den Mittelpunkt gerückt und (hust) sehr viel
Nagellack gekauft. Zeitmaschine an: über den Post verteilt findet ihr Bilder aus dem letzten Jahr.</span></i></div>

I hope you enjoy this look at the past year! If you
didn't, you probably really won't enjoy the rest of my blog either, but
you're welcome to hang around anyway. But if you like what you see and
perhaps even clicked on a few of the links to other posts, maybe you'll
consider coming back sometime.<br />
<br />
Here's the thing: While I'm happy about every person who reads my blog, I
don't feel the need to increase my follower numbers on any given platform,
since they're rarely an accurate measure of actual readers. So I will not ask
you to follow me and there will be no extra points for following me. I'd hate
it if you saw following me as a chore or an obligation. However, if you find my
blog interesting and think you might want to return, you are more than welcome
to bookmark this blog or follow or me in any way you like.<br />

<b>What I would like from you: <br /><br />Leave a comment on this post telling me about your favourite fandom</b>,
or - if you're not the fangirl/boy type - favourite book, TV show or
movie. It doesn't have to be an essay, but I'd like to see more than
just a word or two. Make an effort to write a couple of whole sentences
that aren't just "thanks for the giveaway". Any additional remarks (such
as your opinion of the blog, constructive criticism, your opinion of
the Doctor Who Christmas Special or the new Sherlock Season
(spoiler-free, please) or the worst gift you got for the holidays) are
welcome as well.<br />

oder, falls ihr euch nicht als „Fangirl“ oder „Fanboy“ versteht,
welches Buch, welche Fernsehsendung, welcher Film, Comic oder
Schauspieler euch besonders gut gefällt. Es muss kein Aufsatz sein, aber
ich wünsch mir einen Kommentar mit zumindest ein paar vollständigen
Sätzen, die über „Super Gewinnspiel“ oder „Danke für die Auslosung“
hinausgehen. Wer mehr schreiben will – konstruktive Blog-Kritik, was ihr
vom neuen Doctor oder der neuen Sherlock-Staffel haltet (ohne Spoiler
bitte!) oder euer unpassendstes Weihnachtsgeschenk), darf das gerne!</i><br />

"So hey, wall of text," I hear you thinking, "what about
those prizes"? And you know, I did consider making a separate short and
sweet giveaway post, but you know what? I'm celebrating a year of blogging, so
I'd like people to see what I did during that year and what this blog is about.
Thanks for looking at my pictures and reading the post!<br />
<br />
There will be <b>one winner </b>who can choose <b>one of the following options </b>(subject to geographical restrictions):<br />
<br />
a. For the readers: I love to read and I know many of you do to. I will order books up to a value of €15 from <a href="http://bookdepository.co.uk/">The Book Depository</a> as long as you live in a country where they deliver free of charge (check <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/help/topic/HelpId/3/Which-countries-do-you-deliver-to#helpContent">here</a>).<br />
<br />
b.
For the lovers of beauty products and surprises: A package of beauty
products. This package contains an assortment of unused products that
I've purchased myself, either directly or through subscription boxes.
I'll also throw in a few extras that aren't on the photo. If you're
sensitive to scents, you will get nail polish and/or chocolate instead
of them.<br />
This is the prize with the limitations: Due to ridiculous
shipping costs, I can only ship this to EU countries. If you live
elsewhere, I will send you a smaller package that contains some of these
items (eyeshadows, small perfume samples) and some extra surprises.
(Though if you really want it and are willing to cover the difference in
shipping, I'll be happy to send it anywhere the Austrian post
delivers.)<br />

I know it's a bit of a risk running a nail art contest on a small blog, but
since I love them, I thought I'd give it a try. So here's <b>a second way for
you to win</b>:<br />
<br />
Do some nail art of one of your or my favourite fandoms. Either post it on
your blog, twitter, pinterest or instagram account and link it in a second comment on this post or send me
your photo (or collage) by email to boldly_polish (at) yahoo (dot) com. In all
cases, I will require a second photo of that mani with you holding a piece of
paper that says "to boldly polish". If you send it by mail, I would
also like to ask your permission for me to post it on my blog (with credit). If you post it
elsewhere, I'd be grateful if I could post it here as well (with credit and
link back to your post), but I can also just link to it if you prefer.<br />
<br />
Everyone who submits nail art that fits the criteria gets <b>5 extra entries</b> in
the drawing AND <b>if there are 3 entries or more, I will select my favourite for
an extra polish-related prize</b> (a package with polishes or a gift card, depending on your location and preferences).<br />

<br />
Here's something new - a theatre review. Granted, I'm no theatre critic, I just saw a play and want to tell you what I thought of it. But I promise you this is an actual review of the play, not pure fangirling. <br />
<br />
As I mentioned yesterday, I went to see a screening of the 2011 Frankenstein play last night (directed by Danny Boyle). It was version 2, with Benedict Cumberbatch as Victor Frankenstein and Jonny Lee Miller as The Creature.<br />
<br />
My worries concerning the audience turned out to be unfounded - while it was overwhelmingly young and female, and while a quick "survey" conducted by the theatre's presenter before the screening as to "Team Cumberbatch" and "Team Miller" showed that they were, indeed, the main reasons for many of us being there (including myself), everyone was on their best behaviour during the actual screening. Especially during the first 15 minutes or so, where the Creature wakes up and discovers his body and the world, you could have heard a pin drop.<br />
<br />
Sure, when Frankenstein bellowed something like "My mind is brilliant!" or the Creature told him it was a logical being or said "I cannot stand inconsistency!", it was hard not to laugh. But that's alright and probably only surprised the few older couples who had presumably just come to see a British National Theatre play and knew nothing of the actors' other roles. Anyway, there are other funny moments in it that have nothing to do with external references. Like Cumberbatch-Frankenstein's expression, which I can only describe as a "WTF face" (as we theatre critics say), when the "monster" quotes Milton at him.<br />
<br />
The stage set is simple and evocative at once, the lighting is spectacular, and the music works without being overpowering. One of the things that impressed me about the set was the
use of that translucent, vellum-like material throughout the play to
very different effects. As the womb or egg from which the Creature
emerges, in the house and the boat and again in Frankenstein's
laboratory. In <a href="http://ntlive.nationaltheatre.org.uk/media/video/16546-frankenstein/H3YWQMDrq04" target="_blank">this</a> trailer you can see it pulsing before the Creature emerges from it. In terms of direction, the scene in which the Creature first sees people
other than his creator is shocking and overwhelming, filled with noise and light and steam - it's as
if you see it through the Creature's eyes.<br />
<br />
Jonny Lee Miller is simply amazing as the Creature, from beginning to end. I feel it is the stronger character in the play, and it certainly dominates the first part, but as we turn to Frankenstein and his research, Benedict Cumberbatch really shines as the amoral scientist for whom everything is justified in the name of science and progress. That part - a genius with little regard for morality, doing things for science! - sounds like it might carry Sherlockian overtones, but there's nothing of Sherlock in Benedict's Frankenstein. This is a very different character, both on paper and on stage, and it is not only because Frankenstein pours all his emotions and passions into his work where Sherlock remains cold and analytical. <br />
<br />
While the main reason I went to see this play were definitely the leading actors, I think I would have been just as impressed if I hadn't know them beforehand. They are truly brilliant at what they do. I wasn't as impressed by the rest of the cast and was in fact quite disappointed by Mr Frankenstein (Victor's father), played by George Harris. His acting was wooden and his lines sounded too obviously rehearsed. Most of the other characters were a bit exaggerated, but it seemed intentional (not only by the actors but the director) and wasn't as jarring as Harris' performance. However, the supporting roles - with the exception of the (convincing) blind, old De Lacey - are rather marginal in the play, which may be a reason for their seeming unimpressiveness and, at the same time, mean that a mediocre performance of one of them didn't detract too much from the overall enjoyment of the play. The true magic here is in seeing the Creature and Victor interact.<br />
<br />
The message of the play sounds trite when you put it on paper, and it's not like we didn't all know what it was going to be: The true monster here is not the Creature. But it is hard to see it as cliché when the play drives home so brutally the point that monsters aren't born, they're made. <br />
<br />
The play impressed me so much that I will be going to see version 1 - with Cumberbatch as the Creature and Miller as Frankenstein - in January. It will be interesting to see how it is with reversed roles. I find it hard to imagine a Creature better than Miller's, but what I've heard above all is that they both play the characters very differently, so it might not be better but instead different and still as good. We'll see.<br />
<br />
There will still be some screenings of the play during the next months in various locations - check <a href="http://ntlive.nationaltheatre.org.uk/productions/16546-frankenstein" target="_blank">here</a>
to see if there's one near you. Go and see it if you can, even if
you're not a fan of the actors, but note that it should come with a
trigger warning. If you need details on that, feel free to contact me.<br />
<br />
Have you seen this play? How do you feel about the theatre? Do you prefer classic or modern plays? <br />

I was in class and she came in late, complaining what a waste of time it had been, she'd been on set to shoot her scene with Andrew Scott and he just hadn't turned up. Then she went on to tell how that was part of the How to Beat an Irishman storyline in the new season, which was all about Moriarty not being dead after all. I nearly started to cry and yelled "omg spoilers!" at the top of my lungs in the lecture hall. Then a bit later I actually dreamed part of that Moriarty story and it was really good. But I was still upset I'd been spoilered.</div>

On that note, universe: please no more spoilers. I'm not looking at the released photos, series promo or setlock, especially after I was warned one of them could be considered a spoiler. There's also a new interactive trailer out that's apparently the bee's knees, and I'm a bit scared of it. Well, I already read the disgustingly detailed synopsis of the first episode on the BBC site by accident, so I know a bit of what's going to happen, but I'm not sure I'm ready to deal with the implications of an interactive trailer for that episode after the intense feels and the stories my mind started cooking up <a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/08/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and.html" target="_blank">last time</a>.</div>

I was going to post about my anticipation, but any research I do or gif I look for will inevitably get me spoilered, so I'll just leave it at this. Have a great weekend! I, for one, will be watching Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller in Frankenstein (otherwise known as That Play With The Two Sherlocks Switching Roles And Getting Naked, Except On The Days They Recorded It, Which I Can Understand and Appreciate Because The Theatre's Going To Be Full Of Screaming, Fainting Girls Already, Don't Need To Add To That, It's A Theatre Play Not A One Direction Concert Ferchrissakes).</div>

Seriously, guys, I'm not kidding about the spoilers. I know the 50th anniversary was a few weeks ago, which in Internet time is ancient history (I just didn't have time to edit the photos earlier, I need to stop doing that...), so you've probably already seen the spoilers in a million gifs and screenshots on tumblr and pinterest, but in case you've been purposely avoiding them, fair warning: This post contains ALL THE SPOILERS and plenty of speculation. For The Day of the Doctor, for characters, and for episodes past and future (I always get those mixed up). If you don't want spoilers (or fangirling, for that matter), you'd better just click on the photos or move on to the <a href="http://thenailnewbie.blogspot.co.at/2013/11/the-day-of-doctor.html" target="_blank">previous, mostly spoiler-free, pos</a>t. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right, now that I've got that out of the way, what about that episode? Did you like it, all those things coming together at last? We learned why exactly Queen Elizabeth wanted the Doctor's head off in The Shakespeare Code. (Well, we did know he was intimately enough involved with her that the nickname "The Virgin Queen" wasn't appropriate anymore and there was that whole eloping in a glade thing - that sexy bastard, always with the royalty... like partying with Marie Antoinette wasn't enough.) Unsurprisingly, though, it was his usual bad timing. He does leave an awful lot of girls waiting, doesn't he?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I liked how sassy Queen Bess was, taking over Zygon command like that. Not to mention the "how many Doctors do you need to open a door" episode. And the Doctor threatening a bunny was hilarious - though I'd be hard put to pick the funniest scene in that episode. Or the saddest. I cried several times, and it was always because of Ten. "Did you say Bad Wolf?" was just as heart-wrenching as "I don't want to go".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not bringing Rose back as herself was a good call. It would have gotten very complicated and messed things up real bad for Metacrisis Doctor. Bad Wolf, however... oh yes. "I take the words. I scatter them ... in time, and space." Very Clara, now that I think of it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love that the War Doctor explains the 16-year (in Earth years) gap in Doctor Who history, sliding in neatly between Eight and Nine. It explains the darkness of Nine and the sadness of Ten.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nomenclature, though. That's a bit of a problem, innit? While this makes Peter Capaldi the thirteenth Doctor, he'll still be Twelve to me. Because Matt Smith will stay Eleven and I can't just go and call Ten Eleven just because it's chronologically correct. It's not like the Doctor is too impressed by chronology, after all. I guess that makes John Hurt the Doctor 8.5 (or 8.1 if you want to leave some room for new episodes in that gap - I don't think they actually showed Eccleston's face when Hurt regenerated). Neil Gaiman, once again, <a href="http://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/68090480404/is-the-war-doctor-now-considered-as-the-canonical-ninth" target="_blank">says it best</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, I don't want you to think I'm complaining about the episode, because it was fantastic and I loved it. But because everything is so well thought out in the Whoniverse and Moffat does such a brilliant job tying all the loose ends together, my mind, which tends to overthink these things at the best of times, goes into overdrive and starts thinking too much about ifs and whens.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because, you see, I have a small issue with the story. Well, not so much with the storyline itself, but with Eleven's desire to find Gallifrey. I re-watched The End of Time on Sunday, and the return of the Time Lords as explained there should also work with this new setup. Time locked or time frozen, I'm not sure that makes much of a difference (except that they wouldn't come with an army of Daleks). But when they return in that episode, he's all Gah, bad idea, no party! "<i>That's how I choose to remember them. The Time Lords of old. But then
they went to war, an endless war, and it changed them. Right to the
core. You've seen my enemies, Wilf; the Time Lords are more dangerous
than any of them</i>." And he's right, and the Time Lords decide to bring about the ultimate sanction, the end of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So where does he get off thinking they'll be better this time? That they'll have changed in any way? They are, after all, time-frozen. So maybe they won't bring with them the Nightmare Child and the Horde of Travesties, and therefore won't feel the urge to destroy all of space and time, but why would their characters have suddenly returned to their pre-war status? And more importantly, why would the Doctor believe they had? Did he forget, or choose to forget, like he forgot the number of children? Is he just so blinded by the joy of not having destroyed Gallifrey after all that he doesn't think about the implications? (Right, and that's me done obsessing over this problem. I'm confident Moffat will come up with a beautiful solution. The answer is probably wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey, which is what I love about the non-linear concept of time in Doctor Who.)</div>

Back to my usual speculations. You know that woman in The End of Time? Missed it the first time round, but that glance between her and the Doctor definitely means something. His mother, his wife, his daughter (Susan's mother)? <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Woman" target="_blank">Background info</a> seems to point toward her being his mother, but I got more of a wife vibe."I was lost long ago," she tells Wilfred.</div>
