Nina Hagen, re born , upcycled.



Last night I was surfing the facebook web and I friend "liked" Nina Hagen and I was like..wow!
I remembered how I used to sing her songs in my last year of High School.She was not the girl next door.
She was wearing all that make up and clothing very particular (not for the 80's but for the simple eye.)
To my surprise,I started to read her new album song titles and I was shocked at them and what she wrote about her

 beloved friend and sister Ari Up who passed away recently: "Kingdom of Heaven on Earth" to me!!


Now this daughter of God has recieved her heavenly crown !
God has called my beloved sister home and it will take some time for me to heal from the loss of a wonderful sister on earth .
THANKS to JESUS : GOOD 2 KNOW : We shall all REUNiTE again in The Homeland Of The Soul!
My King said : "LOVE! LOVE NEVER FAiLS! "
Jesus Christus spricht : "Ich lebe und ihr sollt auch leben! "
An manchen Tagen fliegen unsere Schutzengel so hoch, dass wir sie nicht mehr sehen können,
aber sie verlieren uns niemals aus den Augen.
On many days our guardian angels fly up so high that we can no longer percieve them,
but they never loose sight of us.
---Jean Paul (poet) 1763 – 1825
" Freue dich und sei fröhlich in Gott, weil du in Ewigkeit leben wirst.
Rejoice and be glad in God, for you shall live forever."

Der Himmel auf Erden ist überall, wo Menschen von Liebe zu Gott, zu seinen Mitmenschen und zu sich selbst erfüllt ist.
Heaven on earth is everywhere where people are filled with love of God and neighbor.
---Hildegard von Bingen (mystic) 1098 - 1179
Gott kann nicht geschaut werden, sondern wird durch die Schöpfung erkannt.
God can not be seen, but rather is known through his creation.
---Hildegard von Bingen (Mystic) 1098 - 1179
Gott ist die Zukunft! God is our future.

Ihr sollt sein wie ein Fenster, durch das Gottes Güte in die Welt hineinleuchten kann.

Gott ist die Liebe. Die Liebe ist das höchste Reale - der Urgrund.
God is love.
Love is the highest reality—the primal foundation.
---Novalis (poet) 1772 - 1801:
It was so inspirational to see this Music Icon to meet the Lord that I almost couldn't sleep.
I started singing songs and designing Shoes in my mind with Jesus Freak written everywhere
What a cool ending for a wonderful weekend. Welcome Nina!

Drapey against Structured( The second chapter of PR)

Tonight show was something special.If you have been pregnant you know what I'm talking about.
I was 38 years old when I knew for the last time that a baby was on the way.Shocker!
But I'm not Rebecca Romjin and I wasn't there either. The supermodel-actress was the center of the stage with her twin belly shaped body that was in some other time one of my favorites.
I still get the picture of her monstruosity alien styled teal/peacock blue/teal again Xman character,transforming into many possibilities for a mutant.
And the look tonight was created for her or why not any other stylish pregnant lady who wants to be fashion forward even when you look or weight like a whale.
The designs traveled a runway from drapes in about 5 designs,to structured,another 5.
And many weird ones in between. 15 contestants,9 were safe. Christopher from last week had inmunity and from the safe ones I consider a couple of them no too stunning or wearable or even likables.
Logan went for a ready-to-wear,simple black and white ,very similar to anything you can find in the store with the same name mixed with Pea in the Pod.
Prince charming hair cut guy called Nicholas was too boastful and I'm afraid that kind of people has not humility...Tim Gunn would say " it scares me".

Bottom three:
Ra'mon started with a good plan that ended in a Bowling Ball Dress,even the colors were very sporty.Not good.
Mitchel created an overall look for the urban-chic mother to be,not bad idea,awful excecusion.
And Malvin,oh please,too many concepts in a wrong way. I bet he was never pregant,or a woman or even having a pregnant mother,sister or friend,because when you are in that stage you don't want to be "mother Hen".Ugh. He went too far and too literal.He added feathers(see,when something is not right...I love feathers but the way he used them was not appropiate)
The model looked fat, and like carrying a sling,something that she will do but give her time!

Judges were Nina Garcia,as usual,Monique Luhillier filling for Michael Kors, Rebecca and Heidi.

Top Three:
Althea with a gorgeous navy long gown with silver detail,very flattering.
Louise created a lingerie dress in burgundy tafetan. Very cute,tons of detailing.
Sharin constructed a set of a wine colored dress in silk with plies on the top of the "waist" and a superwearble Coat. She was the winner. Good. Nothing surprised me today,everything was safe.

Malvin went home sad,believing his concepts were not understood and they really weren't.

Let's see what next week brings. It seems like a bit of drama. It always starts in the 3rd episode for some reason.

Concentric circles painted like retro stitches


I painted concentric circles like stitches in gold, copper, and bronze fabric paint to give the dress a sixties retro look.The bottom part of the dress looks like the belt and loops of a pair of jeans making it unique and so different.Dress it up with bronze strappy sandals to a very sassy night out or just rattan flip-flops for day time!.
Invisible Zipper in the side for a better fitting.
It is one of a kind and my original design.
This is the only one I have , no other sizes. No stencil, no copies.This is a unique hand painted Dress in dark brown denim from C-Loe Paris.
Talla 3 or size medium.
Measurements are : 38 " around bustier in the widest area ,33" waist , 40 " around hips and 30 1/2 " long from collar to lower end dress.


I use fabric paint.The paint doesn't fade and the colors stay shiny always. Glitters are water resistant because they are mixed with the paint.
Regular wash or hand wash is recommended. No dry clean, no bleach,no fabric softener,please. When iron , don't press on painting.

If you prefer to have it on your own favorite jeans ,jacket ,outfit,canvas or where your imagination goes , contact me and I will charge you only for the painting.

Hope you love it!!E-mail me for any questions at norakaren2002 [!at] yahoo.com
