Layana Flaxx and L at the Schwules Museum July 29 2019 by Suzanne ForbesI have made so many drawings this summer!

I’m still catching up from the beginning of June, with events like this finissage at the Schwules Museum. It was a beautiful event for the closing of the incredible “Objects of Desire” exhibit, with two live performances.

Above, gorgeous model, makeup-artist and advocate Layanna Flaxx shows off her purple hair. I was sitting with my friend Sadie Lune and saying how amazing her makeup in her latest film was, and she was like “Yeah Layanna did it!”.

The performances involved nudity, so I can’t create those drawings for this site – look for them on my other site in the next few days.

Plants and piercings June 13 2019 Suzanne ForbesJust a guy, carrying home some plants for his balcony, like you do.

Living in Berlin, I constantly see people using public transit for carrying and moving the kind of stuff you generally only see people transport with cars in the US. This fellow went to Bauhaus, which is like fancy Home Depot, got his plant stuff, and hopped on the same bus I took.

I saw these two at our local pub.

The argument passed and they were talking convivially soon after, so I’m glad I caught this moment of body language.Couple at the Finanzamt by Suzanne Forbes Oct 23 2019

This couple at the Finanzamt had each other’s backs.

They were stressed out, because they were at the Finanzamt (tax office) but they were keeping each other cool.
