Preliminary and afterwards skirmishing at the Teddy Gala 2010

Or: to form an impression of the preliminary work being demanded by such an event and the results which possibly may come out

Every year there are some events you absolutely have to visit. Not for nothing do we move within the queer community and we should keep an eye on queer movies. In the case of the Teddy Gala 2010 this means to think about weeks before what would be appropriate to be shown on the red carpet of the gala. Everything revolves around the robes, but finally you have to feel comfortable and who wants to feel disguised *lol*…?

A suitable dress made by America’s Pin-up tailor’s shop Stop Stearing was found in the wonderful Suicide Glam Shop. But the evening demands complements: suitable footwear, accessories, hairstyle and much more had to be found. As always the internet was violated and books were pored over to complete the look. Finally this is how it works: look for, combine and shine again as a well-made unique patchwork. Of course you need as well a red carpet hairstyle. There is no doubt that one of the leading minds at Udo Walz will do. If  you watch Janka forming every single strand, you can say that there’s somebody enjoying her trade.

However, the accessories also have to be found somewhere. As it is always somehow laborious to check worldwide ebays – the mere waiting at the customs is getting on my nerves – I engaged once again a Berlin artist who knows how to use needle and thread. No matter what forage caps, corset applications or whole costumes – my lily star always finds a wonderful stylish solution for the perfect appearance. So she did this time…

As usual  our expedition to the red carpet started much too late, but as you say, the late guests are the best … well, unfortunately we weren’t… Once again we missed all guys from the press and we were granted a seat in the last ranks, i.e. somewhere between Hella von Sinnen and Klaus Wowereit *lol*. However, there wasn’t a word of truth in it, because in this case the last shouldn’t be the first, but in fact the last! It was lucky that there were huge screens giving you at least the impression to be there… We hardly recognized the presenter’s hairstyle and I felt like a spectator at Robbie Williams in the Olympic Stadium, where a very tiny bloke was singing into the microphone, and we only had the impression of being in a concert, because there were 80,000 other people around us! Well, the Teddy Gala has got a very high standing and a lot of the invited guests do need this highly official part. But folks, if I hadn’t had this gigantic bun at the back of my head, I would have fallen backwards during those boring speeches and I would have started to snore. No, you can do it but you needn’t. Actually the only reason for my visit of this Teddy Award was JOEY ARIAS.

And to keep to the words of our Lord Mayor, who by the way made a passionate speech, it is good like this, that there was at least a single superstar. And in my opinion the wonderful Joey is one… That has been too slimy?… No, it’s ok. But apart from that the expenditure was out of all proportion to the result and the fun of that evening. Janka nearly broke her legs, the drinks really were too expensive (obviously not for everybody – some people rather were out of their senses *lol*) … and it didn’t get going. Next year I will think twice whether it is worth it except I make a film which takes part in the competition or which happens to get the joker of the audience so that I have to say on stage: I’m grateful to my mum for the genes of my legs …*lol* … and my dad for …
