Tomor­row the Ger­man Cham­pi­on­ships will start in Man­nheim. So as we speak the last work is done on the out­fits for the dan­cers. I can con­fid­ently say that Olga’s couples will look smash­ing there. And she has a lot of couples there on the floor with chances. Let’s hope they will bring some­thing nice home!

In the pic­ture you see Olga fin­ish­ing a neck­lace for Maria Schulle’s dress. Maria and Peter were Ger­man cham­pi­ons last year and they have a good chance to defend their title this year. In the back­ground you see Susie work­ing, our big help that again stayed with us through the night. Big kiss for that! Oh and Susie, your dress looks abso­lutely stun­ning, will cross my fin­gers for you this weekend.

What will I do this week­end? Make pho­tos of course. See you all after the weekend!

All move aside! Ger­man cham­pi­on­ships are com­ing up this week­end. So it is def­in­itely high tide here. A lot of dresses and men out­fits are in pro­duc­tion and need to be fin­ished before the week­end of course. Although the plan­ning was not too bad this year it some­how is all get­ting tight of course again. Thank­fully we have two lovely girls who come to help us when they can. Espe­cially will miss hav­ing Susie around after the cham­pi­on­ships, she is here almost every­day. She is work­ing on her own dress but also does a lot for other dresses. So a few more days and then we may have time again for other things, till then

A few days ago Carl Ryt­ter­falk asked me to show him how I deal with RAW files in Adobe Cam­era RAW. Using a very cool fea­ture of iChat I took over his screen, feels very sci­ence fic­tion, and showed him my work­flow. After I explained a thing or two he told me he recor­ded it and asked if it was OK to pub­lish that. No prob­lem, but I only hope that next time he will warn me from the begin­ning so I can put on my sexy voice I so hate to hear myself.
