Monday 21 May red carpet in Amsterdam for the Musical Awards.
The gala took place in the studio 24 in Hilversum, half an hour drive from Amsterdam.
While I was walking through the Red Carpet someone screamed my name…for one second I felt like Nicole Kidman..…unfortunately it was just a friend and not a fan :)
Two the categories for the Musicals: Big Musicals: Cats , My Fair Lady , Tarzan en The Wiz (Joop van den Ende Theaterproducties), Chess (Mark Vijn Theaterproducties), Grease (V&V Entertainment), NARNIA De Musical (Nationaal Jeugd Musical Theater), Rembrandt De Musical (Stardust Theatre) and Wat zien ik?!

For the first time in Amsterdam, the premiere of CAVALIA, the show with horses and humans perfoming together. I was absolutely excited about the idea to see horses can be part of an a great eye-catching performance like Cavalia. I m very fan of horses myself, riding since when I m 6 year old, horses are great creatures. Normand Latourelle, who worked with the world-famous Cirque du Soleil, is the visionary behind this show that employs many of the same acrobatic and musical elements as Cirque du Soleil. Beautiful lighting effects and tastefully artistic stage decorations allow spectators to appreciate the real stars….the horses .
A life full of cake – how magnificently delicious
by sara bertoni
If you want to feel like Alice in Worderland for your birthday or wedding party...and have a super special cake, the place to be is the Taart van m'n Tante in the center of Amsterdam
The men behind The Taart van m'n Tante are Siemon de Jong and Noam Offer.
Once started as a food-service bakery, they have grown over the years to become creators of special, unusual and unique cakes.
A creative team. Inspired by and working with artists, working with the media, projects from a wide range of clients, these all formed the impulse behind contunously more unusual projects.
From edible clothing to opening, wedding, birth, premieres, launch cakes. The Taart van m'n Tante was doing it.
Many celebreties already order a cake here...Vanessa Paradis, Kim van Kooten, Johan Cruyff, Adele Bloemendaal, Theo van Gogh, Wim Kok and many more...
Amsterdam: Are men ready for jewellery?
by sara bertoni
This Valentine’s Day, I avoided the typical cozy movie night with flowers and did something different. I went to the super trendy restaurant Envy in Amterdam. The occasion: The new Thomas Sabo Sterling Silver Collection unisex line.
Thomas Sabo has given the silver jewellery market an entirely new appearance – and redefined its self-understanding. In the past men usually entered a Thomas Sabo Shop to buy a wonderful present for their women. But from now on there is one more convincing reason for them to do so: the new Sterling Silver Collection for the spring and summer of 2007 includes Thomas Sabo’s first ever Silver Jewellery & Accessories collection specifically for both sexes!

Amsterdam: What's with the Voodoo Swatch?
by sara bertoni
I still remember when, 10 years ago, Swatch was THE WATCH to have! People wanted the latest limited edition of this amazing watch and if you couldn't have it, well... you were out.
The Swatch stores in Amsterdam and Rotterdam have been recently entirely renovated and I was invited to the opening. I was really curious to see if my old loved watch could take my heart again.

The most talked about party of the Amsterdam Fashion Week was the ELLE STYLE AWARDS. And that wasn't because of their cocktails (more about them later).
The Elle Style Awards started in 2004 and are growing bigger and bigger every year. This year, they were held at the museum Energetica in Amsterdam on the second day of the Amsterdam fashion week. Sponsored by H&M, Nokia, Frieda and Nissan, the Elle Style Awards aim is to choose the best up coming styling talent of the year.

Amsterdam: From factory to fashion
by sara bertoni
Amsterdam Fashion Week kicked off with official opening party that included a martini bar with the unforgettable cocktails. A waitress in a petticoat served champagne and white chocolate strawberries. Then, at the end of the evening, she did the rounds again with French fries for everybody. Well, I was pretty shocked about this, but hey, we are in Holland, don’t forget!
But I’m not going talk about the cocktails... What I would like to tell you about is about the location - the Westergasfabrik - because I think it's absolutely stunning!

Amsterdam: Fashionistas go Dutch
FASHION WEEK AMSTERDAM 20-28 JANUARY 2007
A fashion week in Amsterdam? All my international friends who work in fashion in Paris, London and Milan couldn’t believe when in 2004 Amsterdam presented the first AMSTERDAM INTERNATIONAL FASHION WEEK.
But as Renate Peters (manager at House of Orange Models) said: AIFW is getting bigger, better and more every season! Even the street fashion is picking up – soooo… welcome back AIFW!
Fast forwarding to the present, many prestigious brands, designers and companies have joined. The objective of AIFW is to run talent into business, which makes the number of recent successes very encouraging.

Amsterdam: Who wants to be a millionaire?
by sara bertoni
The Millionaire Fair is THE event in Amsterdam. The organizers shocked the Netherlands in 2002 by organizing an event unparalleled in luxury and size. 'A fairytale for the affluent, a cornucopia for culinary fans and a feast of superlatives', said the press.
Initiator Gijrath Media Groep, publisher of Miljonair Magazine, launched the idea for the Millionaire Fair on the basic theme of their magazine: 'The Luxury Lifestyle’ – and in 2003 the fair quadrupled in terms of size and numbers of visitors, this year over 40.000 with 210 exhibitors/participants.
For Dutch high-society members, the VIP night of the Millionaire Fair Amsterdam has become the most important event of the year, tickets over 300 euros, if you want to be with the stars.

Amsterdam: A different kind of nightlife
by katie lips
The usual Amsterdam-at-night it is not. Mediamatic has opened an exhibition that's a crazy blend of nature, art, technology, and... sprouts!
It's not just a static exhibition, it's a hands-on affair. Enjoy Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau's classic Interactive Plant Growing, one of the most sensational interactive works of the last century.
Then build your own robot, be transformed into a cybernetic nocturnal animal, enjoy a paper flower garden or the bright colours of the Seattle Garden Carpet, and tempt your tastebuds at the Micro-Green restaurant. Debra Solomon's prototype Microgreen Sproutstaurant Grow yer own dang food boasts 3 types of mash and over 30 sorts of sprouted micro-greens (sprouts). Did you even know there were that many?
So if you're up for a quirky dinner and some visual stimulation over the holidays, grab your hat and a fork and hit the Night Garden instead.
Open Thurs-Sat (6-11pm) until 7 Jan 2007.

Amsterdam: ODEON – Dine and party
by sara bertoni
We arrived at the Odeon at 21.30 on a “quiet” Saturday evening in Amsterdam. Nothing special was going on that evening, so a perfect evening to explore a place situated in the heart of Amsterdam’s Canal Belt.
Having a look at the website I found out that the Odeon has a rich cultural heritage. The building was originally constructed in 1663 as a beer brewery, and was rebuilt in the 1830s as Amsterdam’s first real concert hall. It was later used as a cinema and an auction house, and in the late 1980s as a discotheque purchased by the owner of Hotel Arena in 2003 and after a complete renovation reopened in 2005. Odeon had a notorious reputation as a separate underground gay hang-out in the 70s and 80s, frequented by the likes of Elton John and Freddy Mercury.
Amsterdam: La Kate at Foam
by sara bertoni
From September 15 to December 14 2006, Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam presents ‘The Kate Show’. An exhibition focusing on style icon, super-model and muse Kate Moss.
Why, after recent scandals, is Kate Moss still the leader of the supermodel pack? What is it about Kate Moss that makes her so compelling? Amsterdam’s Foam Gallery decided to find out, inviting artists and photographers from around the world to give their take on Kate’s appeal.
