  • The Lollipop

    Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
    Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
    Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
    I’ll never ever let you go*

    And a delicious lollipop for you! This little sugary treat is handmade in Vienna by “Die Zuckerwerkstatt”. One can even watch how the candy is made, with lots of love and all by hand. I will definately visit them again!

    * The Drifters: “Sweets for my Sweet”

  • At night around Naschmarkt

    I love to wander around a city at night. Sometimes it feels like a completely different place: quiet, more mysterious – it has it own special atmosphere. Once the amazing young actor Adrian Dorfmeister accompanied me on one of my walks through the night and we explored the area around Naschmarkt.
    During the day there are tons of people visiting the market, the vendors are shouting and offering their products to the passersby, lots of traffic and everything feels a little bit stressful. But at the night the stands are closed, there is only soft chattering from the people in little restaurants…

  • Breaking News: Eurovision Song Contest 2015

    Yeah! Vienna will host the ESC 2015! And I´m as happy as a little happy hippo!
    I´ve been a huge Songcontest fan for as long as I can remember. I don´t know why, but watching this event on TV always excite me – even if I don´t like most of the music, but it is something special. I even went to Düsseldorf in 2011 to be in the audience and love every minute of this experience. I have to confess I not only watched the finale but also the jury-finale the day before.
    As you might now the austrian contestants never ever were that successful, but this year came Conchita. She stood still, sang and won! Something I couldn´t imagine it would ever happen!
    Get your voices ready, see you in Vienna in May 2015!
