Christiane F - Wir Kinder vim Bahnhof Zoo, as dark and fucked up as the story goes (a fourteen year old girl who spirals into the doom of drug addiction and prostitution in Berlin in the 70's), is so alluring and stylish. The world of Berlin, vulnerability of youth, Christiane's wispily fragile beauty (her style is amazing: I dream about that silvery satin bomber jacket sometimes, and often wonder if I can just carry around a pillowcase as a carryall; her fireball-red hair is as unforgettable and well-suited as Lola's in Run Lola Run) accompanied by music from Bowie's 'Thin White Duke' days … it's all too good to be combined into one feature.
Christiane F is so different stylistically from Requiem For A Dream, but they both fit the "heroin chic may look pretty at first but it can really fuck you up and that's not pretty" category (fyi I love both movies).
Random fact: I used to listen to Station to Station album when I went to the gym.

I've just been reading about the movie on Wikipedia. Peeps must have been gobsmacked when they watched it in the 80s. So destructive xx
i know it's rather late, but i just saw the alphagirls clip from mina kwon's facebook page. just wanted to say i admire you so much! i once almost got into modelling but i gave up because i wanted to do music and that's what i am doing now.. this industry is very hard and after almost 6 years of working, i'm still struggling to find my scene. i totally get what toki's saying also.. but somehow i feel more inclined towards you and your path. i'm also quite old though i don't look like it, and age of all things, i can't control LOL but i really think you shouldn't care about your age because those who are great like kate moss, karen elson, daria werbowy, etc still great models. even after their pregnancy/marriage! i hope your career will last longer than any other models that's been known and sorry if you got offended when i used BANMAL on twitter/instagram :P but i'm older than you. hahahaha anyway, respect you and support you always! <3 luna unni <3
