Impressions on M'era Luna Festival 2010
August is the last month of summer and, since the new location of 4-showgirls.com moved to a new address, 2, Spartis Street and Syngrou Ave, my working days stopped somewhere in the middle of summer till the new shop is ready. I hope everything will be ready in September. I know that difficult days might come but I keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. My most important event for this summer 2010 was -without any doubt- my participation again as a dancer of the World's No 1 Dj Armin Van Buuren (NL), this time for Global Dance Festival. You can view now my new fresh pic-uploads by following the above links. You can also view some smaller event participations of mine in Greece by viewing my gallery for the most recent updates. For example here are some pictures by Alex Adhauz (dj and photographer) from my performance in Ioannina.
At the end of July (24th &25th) I gave away some material on magazines and e-zines for interviews and adverts of mine. I would like to thank all those people who keep on asking and being interested in my work(s) and progress, I trully, deeply appreciate them all. At the beginning of August I left Greece for 20 days and I am still in Germany. I had various photo-shootings with two of my favourite Greek photographers (and mainly close friends) Tassos Oreopoulos and John Tsilidis who is leaving for Baltimore (Maryland USA) at the end of this week. The concepts were much different according to what I usually like to shoot.
At the 8th of August '10 I joined Amduscia (MEX) on stage during M'era Luna Festival in Hildesheim. Fortunatelly, Germany has some of the best festivals of those kinds of music I love and Amduscia had always been one of my favorite bands. The death of Edgar Acevedo is something that we all notice and makes us feel sad. However, it was party time and I should give my best self on stage and Polo as well. I am glad I met Stefan (AUT) who was on the keyboards, Sandra and a girl from Berlin, Ina. We had a lot of fun backstage and I wish I could stay a bit more for drinks but we had to leave as Monday was close and Jan had to work.
The results of the gig were excellent. Apart from more than 500 photos, from which we have to chose less than 50 I think, Sandra made an amazing video of the concert there. However, there were some others much before us and I can already post some videos I found by random Youtube researches. You will find them all favorited in my own channel list.
Intro "Bad Seed" and "Animal Instict"
One of my favourite tracks by Amduscia: "Solo Maquina"
One of the last tracks of the gig "Beyond The Darkness"
As I notice these days here after Hildesheim's madness during the fest, the results are speaking on their own... This is the central pic of the festival's page after the 8th of this month.
I danced for a little bit more than 45 minutes non-stop and I definitely enjoyed it. Those moments on stage with all those thousands and thousands of people of the audience make me feel so alive! I still collect videos and pictures, I think they will be plenty of them the next days.
My holidays in Germany offered me some serenity these few days. I wish that the next days will be the same wonderful. At the 21st of August I will meet HayDee Sparks during Latexpo in Hamburg. As far as I remember this town is really cool with amazing buildings and structure.
There is a case that I will participate at the catwalk for Savagewear Latex for Heidi. I love her stuff and I already miss all those I have left in Athens in my wardrobe. The weather here is much better for latex. I cannot stand Athens during August with 41 degrees. At least my bookings for September and October have already started. 25th of August I will be back in Athens.
From 28th till the 30th I will be in Mykonos to perform with Alexia at Elysium. Saturday the 11th of September I perform for the New Season's Opening party of Sin City club. 16th of October, I will happily dance again for Soman (Dresden DE) at Sin City club again, after two years. My last time was in Duesseldorf for Neuwerk Fest in December 2008. Surely, this will be a very interesting winter.
