It’s all about attitude- Interwiev with the authors of Frauleinwunder Magazine part 2
And now here’s this two girls genius idea a magazine as thrilling as an jewellery box ( you MUST touch it, you MUST open it and you amazed)
A magazine what stuffed with all things what are alluring, sweet and exciting for a girl and stunning for boys thinking: ” What does she like/want?” the Frauleinwunder Magazine!!!!
S: The expression ‚Fräuleinwunder’ was created in 1952 by the American Press, when the first official Miss Germany visited the U.S. Till then ‚Fräulein’ was just the old fashioned German word for a young woman, who is not yet married. Susanne Erichsen was young, she was classy and she was overwhelming beautiful. Born into a average middle-class German family, she wanted to break out and reach the stars. She appeared in all Fashion Magazines, as e.g. ‚Life’ and made in one hour more money than a factory worker in one month.
She introduced a new era of selfconfident, modern and independent women, so ‚Fräuleinwunder’ became for one decade a synonyme for style, attitude and class. A promise we still want to keep.
S: It was Mickys Idea. She’s been working for a German concert magazine for a while, but wanted to do her own thing. When she offered me to start this together with her, I knew it was perfect! I’m in charge for the layout, the beauty section, the photography etc and she is adding her phenomenal writing skills and her punkrock attitude! The fist thing I thought when she spoke about it was: “I’d totally buy it!” - so it was clear that we had to realize it.
M: The dark and the bright side of Rock’N’Roll. I guess, we found the perfect mixture between Punkrock, PinUp Culture, Fashion etc…It’s meant to be a collectible, as some guys are collecting all Playboys Issues since 1971 (My Dad did that;-)
S: It should be a classy coffee-table-magazine that peopel will not want to throw away because they love it so much!
M: No, to create it is the easiest part of it! We have so many ideas and inspiration, we could easily fill the next 10 issues. The most difficult thing for me is to hold my own deadlines. That’s my weak point. God thanx, I have Sweetness who pushes me then. She is perfect in that – without annoying me- that’s the most important part of it.
S: Not at all! It was so much fun to have a medium where you could finally speak about all the things you love!
M: Yeah, we would’nt be able to go on without all those generous, talented people
S: Oh YES! We wouldn’t be here without the help of so many talented people who kindly offered to spread the word, to send us photos we could use etc.
S: The first feedbacks were amazing! I think we really found a niche here, as if people were waiting very long for such a magazine. We got some really nice comments, emails, reviews! Oh and I love to watch how they take it in their hands and feel the heavyweight paper.
M: Mainly from the internet, but sometimes also at shows and of course in everyday life. I am a sucker for any kind of unusual things. You has just have to keep your eyes wide open.
M: We are trying to find a good mixture, Sweetness interests are a bitt different than mine and we inspire each other…It shouldn’t be too girlie, but also it still as to stay a girls magazine…We walk the line.
S: It’s JUST out!! In this issue: Bad Influence, tons of Glamour, and even more Attitude… Desperately awaited and ready to addict you: Miss Bad Valentine introduces you to our latest flame Bloodshot Bill, extra 12 pages special feature about Berlin including a complete shopping and barhopping guide,Micky chats with The White Barons - punkrock heroes from San Francisco, Pinky Paradise and Sweetness show you how to do your hair in perfect pinup style, Tura Satana, sweet& deadly art by Candy Cane, dress up like a show girl with Burlesque Couture, another episode of Between the Sheets with Eva von Slut, Miss Winks Cinematique whisks you away into the world of teenage delinquent movies, some crafting fun with Soda Shop Sue, stylish Must Haves and lots more a bombshell needs to to know…Everything in English and on heavy matte paper!
