Stresslevel up.. and up a bit more :)

I just want to apologize for my spelling, i am very dyslectic.
Dont have the time to let some body check all these blogges..
But its about the story ;) so if you can read over them it would be great!!


After Reinier, we met Maureen Powel, maureen is a talented artist.
Again i want to get the message out that art doesn't need a frame.
Art is every where, from a pair of killer heels (on auction at union, by fabulous shoe designers Peterson Stoop) but also some thing a bit sweeter..


Eatable art!


Wel thank you Maureen..i LOVE to eat and i LOVE art.. no better combination possible for me.
Maureen is a successful model who started her own business on the side. Sucre scale, every cake , tart or cupcake is hand made till in the littlest details. She makes them with love and that is visual :)
They are stunning, check her website out http://www.sucre-sale.nl/  and next time you have a celebration get ur sweets from her!


Well Maureen is teaming up with us, she will make cupcakes for UNION<3
It will have our logo on it!! 

very exciting !!!!

ITS GETTING CLOSER :) 7 june UNION

So, here i am again,

I was telling you about Reinier More, a very talented artist. He makes very special not so ordinary things. I think he is the only one making them in the benelux !

We where a bit shocked about his website but decided to go and meet him!

When we left my house i spoke to my mum on the phone...if i dont pick up with in 5 hours please check with Jessica's phone ;0

We arrived on his wonderful farm in the north of Holland, Reinier is a young man with a very nice personality :)

Nothing like we imagined..wel its pretty hard to picture some body on the hand of this website.

http://www.cosmicevents.nl/.

We had a nice cup of coffee and went to have a look at his work.

I was blown away by everything...so amazing :)

Reinier thought we where funny and nice girls with a dream and wanted to start a collaboration with us...we wanted a very special prop for our event and he agreed on lending it to us...

When we where sitting back down, and smoking a cigarette 2getter, me and Jessica where quit curious about what got him in to this line off work. Reinier started to explain, he owned his own business from a very young age and got very successful! His wife is a designer, she makes beautiful couture from latex!! Because they where basically settled money wise. He wanted to do something he loved..and that was what he is doing now!

AMAZING!

He casually brought up that he didn't like all the fetish party's, the gay scene was sometimes a bit to much for him..with all do respect off course , he aded.

He didn't like it when he was ordering a beer and next to him some one was ordering a drink with blood and poo dripping down his arm..hahaha

We laughed, not able to imagen this scene.. but fetish is also very delicate Reinier added, it doesn't need to be in your face!

We love adding reinier and cosmiic events to our list of partners :) very proud.

Cosmic events | Maureen Powel

So here i am again, bin super busy the last couple off days.


Lets go back the 9th of may. Me and Jessica, got inspired from an idea conceived by Delany from Matsukii's wolrd.
Matuskii's world is sponsoring us with dansers | show girls. She had an idea for a special act durring UNION. When Jessica and i heard about this idea we knew it was a long shot but we wanted to do it.


I cant tell you exactly what the special act is...we want to ceep it it big surprise, but we had to meet Reinier More for the prop for this act.
We met Reinier at his atelier in the top of Holland. He has a big farm, with his atelier in the barn. The day before we went and checked out his website...we where confused.
This couldn't be the right website. It was a website for fetish party's | Dominatrix | and the renting of cages, contraptions and other fetish stuff: cosmicevents.nl 
But it had to be the correct website, we checked it like 10 times to be shure hahaha... me and Jessica where interested to meet Reinier. We had no idea on how to picture this guy.


When we arrived at his farm he didnt look anything like we imagined.


ill tell more later...im running late for meetings..


for now..

El Rod | Cosmic Events

So the 7th and 8th of May...


At this stage of our preparation I am super busy, every day is a UNION day ... 
... fun but overwhelming.

Jessica and I really wanted to do UNION well. 
We want to host a spectacle, a show!


We have been in more than 100 fashion shows, seen what is possible and knew what we wanted. We want to give the audience an experience they wouldn’t soon forget. When a fashion show starts, you feel a rush going trough your body. As a spectator you get this same energy over you. When that first step is taken on the catwalk, it’s like you are mesmerized, the model and the audience.
This feeling comes with a price tag though ;) the lighting, music, smoke machine, outfit, shoes, hair, make up, every single thing is thought of. We want that same energy during UNION.


You have to leave UNION with the feeling you just had great sex and are ready for your cigarette.

So to get close to this feeling, we thought of a very special final act, something that will blow your mind and shizzle your ears. El Rod. El Rod is a electronic, funk, soul, jazz, singer/songwriter.  I can’t really explain his music...just that it is hot and funky. It makes you want to dance  :) He is playing in the Melkweg this coming Wednesday 30th May, so check him out, El  Rod! 


We had a meeting with him, and talked for over an hour. He is such a talent and a great guy to hang out with. At the end off the meeting he confirmed .. he was in !!!! Woop Woop!! We had a closing act!!! Jessica and I looked at each other, we have no budget and all these wonderful talents team up with us, because they believe in our concept.. there is need for UNION in these times of cultural cuts!!

Ok next stop... Cosmic Events.
So we want to blow the audience away, we had one special act in mind, but we actually thought this could never happen without a budget.


It our special surprise act.. A dream, a vision.. but so far it seemed impossible.
Now I am not going to say what it is..you just have to come and see at UNION, but I am going to thank Reinier More for now. A wonderfull artist.


Tomorrow you will hear the spectacular stories behind our special act!

So speak soon

Claudius de Krenten Koning | MCToko | Karsu Donmez

On the 4th of may, we had a day full of meeting's planned.

Our first meeting was with Claudius de Krenten Koning.

Arend, our contact in the location De Verdieping (De Trouw), every Wednesday we have a check up..See how things are evolving and if everything planned for UNION is realistic and going by plan.

Arend suggested a couple off days back that we go and check out Claudius de Krenten Koning. And so we did..Claudius is a AMAZING performer..we went to his CD release and got blown away!! Jesscia and i looked an eachother and smiled..he needed to be part of UNION!

So we met him, in between his rehearsals, he is a very busy talent. We explained our story and he was excited just like we where.. in the end of our meeting he said...I am 80% in, I just need some time to check my diary. We promises we would sent our concept plus all the info about UNION to him so he could have a sleep over it and decide.

Next, we cycled to MC Toko, MC Toko is a theatre-workshop, a production company and a venue for new times in old city's. It is located in westerpark.

We where meeting Niels, Jessica new Niels and set up our meeting.

Niels is a very nice young driven guy who has a lot of ambitions. He was smiling all the way true our presentation, afterwards he admitted he had to laugh at us, in a good way tough. Two young girls with a plan but no money and good smiles..He said..I wouldn't be surprised if you get a lot off sponsors/talents, companies on board because u girls hand out empathy quite well haha.

We reached out to MC Toko because we needed a live jazz opening. Not a entire band but a saxophonist or a pianist, this talent would lift the entry for UNION massively and wil bring a real 920's atmosphere to the location.. Niels had some people in his mind already and promised us he would let us know the following day.

And so he did...he Thought off Karsu Donmez. Check her out.. she is amazing. karsu

is more than amazing actually!!! At only 16 years old she already played in Carnegie Hall in NY.

It would be sick if we got her... Niels is going to do his best for us..so he promised!

Statik Music | Sergio Hasselbaink | Bob Stel

2nd off May 2012,

We planned a meeting with Statik Music, Dutch actor Sergio Hasselbaink and designer Bob Stel. Lets start with Bob, Bob Stel is a amazing designer, owner off Crabsalad, a design studio. We reach out to him for our logo.
I know Bob for about 3 years now, great guy.
We pitched for him, explained that we had no budget and told him, what we would like our logo to look like, well roughly. We sounded like two blabbering excited girls...he was keeping his cool and luckily he said ...I'm in :)
Logo...in progress!


A few hours later we met Sergio Hasselbaink. Jessica got his contacts through the editor Steven Elbers who she worked with on other projects. Sergio was very nice, he was in a bit of a hurry, he had a play at the Stadschouwburg. The Stadsschouwburg is a theatre in the heart of Amsterdam located on the Leidseplein, a beautiful building from 1894. Sergio loved our initiative and confirmed working with us :) VERRY EXCITING!


After Sergio, Brian from Statik Music arrived. Static music is a group of three music producers.  Brian's artist name is All one. We asked him to DJ at UNION. We want our evening to start with '20 styled jazzy music and let the tunes guide you to the here and now. A sort of  audio time line that is played to give UNION'S first edition an extra level of experiences.
He was the third party to confirm with us that day and start a collaboration with.




It was a good day!
