Russkaja life Wien / Vienna Rathausplatz

Gestern (24. Mai 2009) spielte meine österreichische Lieblings-Life-Band Russkaja auf dem Wiener Rathausplatz. Die Band war blendend gelaunt und verbreitete großartige Stimmung, leider war die Zeit mit etwa 45 Minuten begrenzt, danach warteten schon die Austro-Veteranen EAV auf ihren Auftritt. Die Show war gratis.

Yesterday (May 24, 2009) Russkaja, my favorite Austrian life band, performed on Viennas Rathausplatz (the place in front of the townhall). Almost all songs were performed in Russian language. The show was free of charge.

achAT's VOGUE cover statistics

From now on, I will publish statistics and indices for VOGUE covers on this blog on a more or less regular basis. Much to my surprise no such statistics exist on the net, so I decided to build up my own database on VOGUE covers.

Rules for counting covers:

• For my statistics only regular country covers count, but not supplements! In case of Vogue Italia this matter can be very tricky. On my (visual) indices supplements may be shown however.
• Appearances with other models on one cover count as one cover for each model.
• In case of foldout covers it doesn't matter whether the model is shown on the front page or on the inner page(s).
  
• Multiple covers for one country in one single month (such as Kate Moss for Vogue Paris Dec. 2005) count as one cover for this month only.
• No differentiation original cover - reprinted cover (same cover in different countries). Both count as separate model cover.
• Collages (such as UK 12/2006 or Deutsch 6/1995) don't count for a model cover. The Oct. 1994 cover for Vogue Italia (30 models) doesn't count either (too many models).
  
• No Vogue Homme or similar.
  

My data were compiled from various sources on the net. Some sources proved to be reliable, others less. There are still "white spots" in my database (above all Latin America). Additional data may lead to differing results.

Sources are and thanks go to: fashion-iconography, The Fashion Spot, Fashion Model Directory, LEvangelista.net, kokobombon & modascans (both for Vogue LatinoAmerica), hfg, supermodels.nl.


The first statistics is on "VOGUE cover model of the decade (2000-2009)", restricted to 7 Vogue issues who always have original covers:
USA, UK, Paris, Italia, Deutsch, Nippon, Russia
Period: Jan. 2000 - June 2009

1st: Kate Moss and Natalia Vodianova (29 covers each)
3rd: Gisele Bündchen (27)
4th: Julia Stegner and Daria Werbowy (16)

celebrities:
1st - Nicole Kidman (8 covers)
2nd - Cate Blanchett (7)
3rd - Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker (6)

If you have further questions or doubts on correctness - please post a comment. I didn't find even one single statistics on the net on that matter, so that's new territory. E&OE.

Star Trek 11

I saw the movie and was very impressed, the previous 10 movies appear lame compared to this prequel. IMHO it's not only the best of the series, it's one of the best sci-fi/space movies at all.
