Who said events that raise awareness and put ethics in the spotlight should be dull, tasteless and involve a lot of dreadlocks? Drop The Needle is the event that will let you keep your sass on and make you dance for ethical fashion during Mercedes Fashion Week. FRONT ROW SOCIETY and THE ETHICAL FASHION FORUM presents DROP THE NEEDLE, a

How do I feel about varieté programs? I’m always suspicious. They can vary (haha) from very entertaining and sexy to pretty uncomfortable and dull. Thus, I’m going to give variety show one more chance this Saturday at Berlin’s .HBC where our friends from Expatriarch put together Varieté Varieté. The show will treat the audience to cyborg folk, a performance on

This is going to be my first post on Grateful Grapefruit and I’m truly excited. Christo and I shortly discussed the topics I could cover here and we agreed on something travel related. My greatest passion. Although I wanted to travel the world from day 1, my adventures started a bit later, when I visited Paris for the first time.

Friends and I have something, which you could call True

What is it with cupcakes, brownies and muffins? And don’t get me started on the donut. Yes, they are all three über American, and delicious (well, I am not such a donut fan, but I can see their appeal). But the hype?! And the quality of these, in Berlin at least, usually has much to be desired. Industrial, bland, super

Let’s get political, shall we? I usually avoid to get involved with political issues, because I’ve made bad experience with that in Bulgaria while I was an editor for a radio show. Anyway, this issue keeps bugging me – so I thought it’s time to say something about it. Prop 8 is H8. And the video those guys did is just

Cooking has never been easier, boys! The most important ingredient for the cuisine I am going to present to you right now is so to say, always right in your reach. “Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not
