Cool people who make nice things: Johnny Flynn.

Last monday was heaven. I went to a concert of Mumford and Sons, DAMN I love those guys. But then the supporting acts: first Albatross. Lovely lovesongs on guitar, really sweet. And after that: JOHNNY FLYNN. He's like amazing and the cutest man alive. And he plays a lot of instruments, and he plays them good! I think I'm in love.

Yes, he plays the headpart in Crusade in Jeans. I noticed that later, which is strange. Anyways. You gotta love him.

I heart: Anneke van Giersbergen

Just heard this from my dad. I really love this song, so I thought I share it with you.

Can you guys help me find a punishment for Bobby Blue? This is the second time that she isn't on time with the dare.

x,
Z

PS. Oh Hun's, I almost forgot: Happy Easter, lovelies!

Hello there,

I'm sorry I haven't put any sound under the footage I made, but I need to do my homework too. And I haven't slept verry well last night. Sooo enough excuses.

I made it with the only actors I have. No playmobil was harmed making this movie.

Playmobil tale. from Z on Vimeo.

This is the story:

It's just a regular day at school when Sophie tries to get the attention of Rick. She whispers something in his ear and points at Blue. Blue is an outcast. Rick and Sophie are calling all the kids together. 'Don't you think Blue looks good today, with his pyamatop still on!??!', Sophie screams. The teacher turns his head away. The kids went their faces and fists to Blue: 'Blue wears a pyama! Blue wears a pyama!'. Blue doesn't answer. He sees the kids coming closer and closer. He's scared, but doesn't show it. And that makes Rick mad. He punches Blue. Blue hits the ground. The kids laugh and realise the fun is over, they turn away.

That night Blue has an amazing dream. He's in a garden full of flowers and animals. They're all so kind to him. Then a dove strikes near. He places his claws gently in Blue's pyamas and flies away. Blue flies with him. They land on a toilet. The dove says: 'Wait here'. Blue isn't shocked. This is a dream, and everyone knows that doves talk in dreams. And then an alien appears. Blue is shocked. He collapse but she catches him and tells him this: 'I happen to like your pyamas, Blue. I happen to like your hair, your freckles, I happen to like everything about you, just as Mary does'. And then she kisses him on top of his head.

Blue wakes up with a smile when his father wakes him. 'Today's gonna be great dad!', he says happily. 'Good to know, son'. At school he walks straightly to Rick. 'I'm sorry that I didn't respond to your message yesterday. I happen to like my pyamashirt, as you like to call it', he says. Rick looks at him and starts to laugh. But it's a good laugh, full of respect. And then Blue walks to Mary and he asks her out.

And they all live happily ever after.


I know the story is lame. But I don't have time and words enough to come up with something amazing.

Next dare:
Get inspired by this:

Sorry I'm late.

It's rubbish, but whatever. I had a really cool idea but couldn't do it. Might do it another time.

My dear 10 followers and possible other readers,

I am truly sorry for not uploading my video. I gave myself the freedom to do it next week. You see, I tried and stuff, but it didn't really work.

Excuses excuses. I'll give you one of my favourite videos though. So here it comes. ENJOY.

Happy DayDare

Well, damn you Bobby. This one really sucked! (just kiddin')

Haha, so I tried and I tried but I don't even look like a male person.

So I thought what if I filmed love from a male's perspective?

Here we go:

My name is Daan. And I'm in love. This is my vision on love. Enjoy.

Time for a new dare:

I dare you, Bobby Blue, to choose a song. And make a clip by that song. In that clip you must take the lyrics of the song literally, so when the word baby is in the song, I want to see a baby, you understand!?!

Haha, Lotsoflove,

Z

HappyDay Dare

Well hello,

Here's the video I made of my (fri)day. Nothing interesting happened. There should've been a titleroll, but that fell of or something, so I'm going to write it down here:

a day in the life of bobby blue

made for the lovely z

music by air

there were no animals harmed during the making of this movie

And for Z we've got a new dare.. The idea is not entirely mine, but yeah, whatever. Linda talked about it. Right so here it comes:

I want you to show us how you'd be like if you'd been born as a boy. You may draw this, write it, make a song about it, make a video, pictures, collage, I don't really care. You may only want to show what you'd look like, but if you want you can also tell us about the way he lives, his interests, the way he walks, talks, etc etc. It should be finished next sunday!

Good luck :D

I did know who you were. Alexander.
You were the weirdo. Alexander.
From those weird high heels. Alexander
Gaga wore those. Alexander.
Gaga loved you. Alexander.
We loved you. Alexander
And now you are not here. Alexander.
We will miss you. Mister McQueen.

Hold me now, it's hard for me to say I'm sorry.. I just want you to know.

I, but I guess we, are sorry that we didn't put so much blogs on this.
And because we are so sorry we reincarnated the Beatles and made ringo dance for you.
So enjoy, and be patient. 'Cause Bobby has all the time to write stuff, and I.. well I have school you know! (I'll write stuff too..)

Cool people who make nice things: Sadie Harris

Today it's Sadie Harris who's going to make you happy with her pictures. Sadie is a 17 year old girl who says she's boring. I don't believe her. Sadie Harris has 212 digital pictures, 176 film pictures, 183 pictures full of blood, 59 pictures in fur, 51 sf/santa cruz 08 pictures and 43 +++ pictures. Just so you know.

Cool people who make nice things: Viktor Vauthier

I said I'd try to do this every day, but I just moved into my new house, friends came over, movies had to be seen, glee had to be watched etc etc. So there was little time for anything else. But here I am anyway, to introduce you to the wonderful Viktor Vauthier. I love his name. I can say it over and over in my head and I'll never get tired of it. It looks lovely as well. He has a blog here on blogspot and my dashboard is always full of his posts (he doesn't post 10 pictures in one post, he posts them all induvidualy. Don't ask me why). His pictures of pretty people and places make me happy. Here are some of my favourites:

Time Flies: Beatnik Style

Time flies, but then again times return. At least they do in fashion.

The funny thing is I'm gonna tell you about Beatnik, which isn't just a fashion thing but a media stereotype (so says Wikipedia). I first found Beatnik in one of my timeline fashion books. There was a picture of a girl drinking beer and she was wearing just a sweater and tights. Shortly after I found the picture, I got my new Elle. In there I saw a girl in just a sweater and tights. Beatnik!

The media hype thing started when Jack Kerouac wrote in his biography about a so called 'Beat Generation'. Jack was a sort of celebirty so the Times wrote about it, and other tabloids did this to. But what exactly is the Beatnik?

The term caught on because it could mean anything. Well that explains, not. It was everything that was cool those days. It could be a religion, as Jack believed himself. Beatniks threw parties were they drunk beer and stole each others wives. They were the pro-hippies. People took the term Beat and used it for anything close to culture, movies, music. Beatnik inspired Beatles, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan.

Last but not least, the fashion. Black sweaters, black tights, black berets and for some reason bongo's. Look outside of your window, love, you see it nowadays everywhere. Oversized sweaters rule. Beatnik is coming back? I hope so. It was an culture revolution.

I could have posted this under Cool People Who Make Nice Things, because Jack did a very good job here. But I let Bobby do her thing to.

Cool people who make nice things: Kevineubanks

Hello,

Number two, a little late because yesterday I had not enough time. I saw 'An Education'. I'll probably write more about that later. For now I present to you: Kevineubanks on flickr. I don't quite know what to make from that. Maybe his name is kevin and his last name eubanks? Lets just pretend his name is Kevin and don't care about his last name! His profile doesn't reveal any information, but I assume it's a guy who live 'somewhere' in America. Move on to the pictures then? I started to like him because of his Ferris Wheels. I love those. He shoots film and does some funny double exposures. But I'll just let you judge for yourself:

Check out his flickr here here here.

Love, Bobby

Cool people who make nice things: Leon Mark

A graduate from Central Saint Martins, His work shows atmospheric tableaux scenes that deal with different emotive states within his subject."
