First things first! The new edition of BCM is here!
#37 is the 2018 holiday edition, meaning that it’s the last one for this year!
There’s (holiday) fashion, interviews with KAMIJO, haru and HITT; a travel feature and column by Helcanen; beauty by Claire and Birdie and so much more! So grab your FREE copy here and enjoy! Have I said it’s free? Because it is! :)
And now to the rest of the post, which is about Bert and I’s first day in Paris, France. Which was exactly one week ago (I miss being on holiday abroad!).

On our last day in France, Bert and I decided to visit Champs-sur-Marne castle. We had looked up what sites in the area were good to visit, and the castle popped up on several site. We like castles, and we like to wander castle grounds, so we figured that was as good a way to spend our last day in France as any.( Read more...Collapse ) |

There was an exhibit about André Breton going on at the LaM in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France. I'm not much of a fan, but I had heard good things about the LaM and as both Bert and I both love a good museum visit, we decided to go visit on September the 13th. I know, this is a total catch-up backlog post. But hey, at least I'm tackling my backlog :).

When the Cinquantenaire Museum (my all time fave museum) introduced Once Upon a Time, my inner steampunk rejoiced.
An exhibit dedicated to pocket watches?
BRING ...IT ...ON.
I love pocket watches, my main watch is a pocket watch.
I own several.

Last week was also box camera week, which I was able to participate in thanks to my friend Dan K, who has gifted me an Agfa Clack a while ago. So I loaded that with a trusted roll of Ilford Delta 100 and went about taking photos.
Which are currently with HEMA's film lab, so that's why Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are missing.
Admittedly, I also shot with my Agfa Paramat a lot last week, even though that's not a box camera.
So yeah, check back later for analog :)

Ok, first let me start out by saying I am going to be brutally honest in this post. I hope this doesn’t upset anyone, but considering the drama that was happening the week before the event, I feel I won’t have so much luck.
I won’t go into the drama, just let me say that after actually trying to talk to the first 2 people, I started literally replying with the link to this post to the other 4.
It may seem like I took the drama in my stride, but in reality, it really kicked off my social anxiety, meaning that once I set foot in Bouche à Oreille, my anxiety was soaring and well, I felt ill at ease for most of the event.
How I felt had nothing to do with the people there, because everyone I spoke to was absolutely lovely and friendly and the atmosphere was great. It was super well organised and I honest to god cannot fault Coalescaremonium as an event on the day itself. So I really hope that no one will think I am blaming the organisation for my mental fail on the day, because I am not doing that at all. The fact is that anxiety is a highly illogical disorder, and your surroundings can be 100% safe, warm and friendly (which Coalescaremonium was) and you can still suffer an anxiety attack at the same time.
( Ups and downs at an awesome event.Collapse ) |
