The Circus is coming to town!
Shanghai is a daily Circus itself - inspiring, insane, colorful, full with contrasts, life, joy, fight, pajamas, smells, funny animals, shifu's, ayi's.. Best gallery you can exhibit your work.

New logo coming coming coming soon!

The idea of my new logo came while I was swimming @ Mandarin City swimmingpool, Shanghai. It was quite relaxing day and after 0 h of sleep during night decided to v some relaxing day at swimingpool and just chill. And then it came in my mind, very clear, that my name is possible to write with a single line. I asked my very very good friend Santa Gustiņa, who is super talented graphic designer, artist and perfect mom, to make it happen. And she did and came up with even better idea - it can be foldable. I think there are more exiting thinks we can come up together. See her work @ http://gustina-santa.de/

Elite Model look Shanghai

Last Wednesday I went to see  Elite  Model Look final at Shanghai Mercedes-Benz Arena. Kylie was singing ( again, I guess she is coming to Shanghai at least once a year same as D&G) and there were some past  including  Elite  Model Look winners including adorable Fei Fei  Sun. The show was a bit on a boring and slow side as it was for TV and they definitely need a better stylist ( sequin mini dresses and sailor outfits - common).

But as for the winner I was quite sure it is going to be Julia Schneider from Sweden and she was. Why? As her catwalk was very masculine and unique and she looks so much as one of today's top models Serbian Australian model Andrej Pejic. Both androgynous, blond, with strong eyebrows. See your self.  Andrej Pejic :
