kiki blofeld

Although it sounds like the name of a pornstar, or a rare exotic disease, Kiki Blofeld is in fact a super trendy Berlin bar. Situated on the banks of the river Spree (and opposite the infamous Bar Fünfundzwanzig), KB sports a unique water feature. The Spree actually merges with the club, creating a rectangular paddling pool of sorts, around which the patrons shake their money-makers, or are seen being seen lounging around the bar. In the photo above you can see Samuel, Fransiska, Fran and Marie undertaking the former, and behind them is the flimsy fence that prevents boozed patrons from taking an unwanted dip.

Above: More rump-shaking action.

Above: The spooky marsh-like entrance to Kiki Blofeld. Cool lights though - the way they catch on that person in the foreground is highly reminiscent of the closing sequence of Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer' videoclip. Although maybe only Arwen and Ry will agree with me here, as we were all weened on the same VHS collection of 80s videoclips, and thus share a similar collection of bizaare (but highly entertaining!) cultural reference points.
