What to say,I write everything down,in the"about me" section.
A few
things I"ve adored in life:poetry,rock n"roll,drums,cats,touring around and sharing my music & vision with the world,kinky stuff in general,tattoos,someone from a past life who I loved more than anything else,comics, mr'Dust' who was my mental 'shelter',& in general,the ideas of"love","freedom" & of real friendship..
Now as for the rest,..
,I work as a model,I've studied drums(& this is the ultimate love of my life-this instrument)-,for the last 4 years,I play music as a dj,(now mostly I appear as a guest,),& I've also started some "acting" seminars.Haven't left anything right??:)Started with Bernard Hillers class,and continued with summer Olga Tzwrtz seminars, E.Skwtti,at "epi Kolonw"theatre,N.Kornilios,P.Terzakis,National theater masterclass seminars,Leon Herbert,etc. Participations in"ixni"of mega channel,in TV ads like "amstel",and many-many more(read my cv at my personal website).
Also starred at a videoklip(supernatural stuff,but script based on ancient myths),which is shown on MTV & many other music channels around the world-& participate in international festivals as a film.For the winter period,there was an interesting role in a tv series,which was titled"heaven's key",& was on ant1 channel.Also, from May 2009,had the leading role in a theatrical performance.It was called:'With god's democracy',& was presented at "metaksourgeio theater" & many summer festivals.Along with all these,I did also a short movie ,called 'Ladykiller'.This year,I'm interpreting 'Salome'in Fernando Pessoa's:'Journey to abyss'(Radio City theater/Thess/ki-see blog-),and I'm about to start the shooting of my role in a long movie.Details for this last one,are soon coming..

Anyway want to say that I totally admire & respect all the greek bands(even those which I don"t like a lot),who put effort in producing stuff and do gigs in this country,knowing that there's no much opportunity field.This is exactly what makes their effort SO precious & MORE worthy comparing to other bands from abroad.
In the end- one of my top favourite bands - remain the" faith no more.."(in greek I"d just call them:"number1 aristokrates kafroi!!")Band of the century,according to me.ALL of Mike Patton"s projects too...
(Finally,forgot 2 tell,that according to me, very few of all the previous I mentioned could ever give humanity,the vision Morrison did,through the kingdom of his mind).Just to clear things out.And I should also tell that the order of the previously mentioned bands was random.
...
Finally I should say I find interest in writing down music(mostly) articles and critiques which are published in magazines & newspapers.You can read stuff on: www....com/ladydust.
Also,don"t hesitate to visit my"profile song history"here!I adore spreading out the soundrack of my soul..:)
Cheers everybody!!!!!..
Movies
High fidelity,(thank god it exists as a movie,cause I was thinking that smth "s terribly wrong with me that these silly"top 5 records"thoughts have always preoccupied my mind..:-)))!!!! And worst:THEY STILL DO!The Matrix,(can the human mind conceive that although it remains a hollywood movie-yet it can be so much more than that??)..,night of the iguana,velvet goldmine,"the shining"with Nickolson,(what a man,my god),lost Highway ..(top one & with the top soundrack of all times,I beleive)S.Kubrik"s films as well,24 hour party people,legends of the fall,trainspotting,Tim Burton"s stuff.. Finally,the "movie" of my personal life(which I"m already writing in a book the last years).It may have begun as a "tragedy",but is fascinating,even like that,and has strong perspective to have a FUCKING "WINNING"HAPPY END".Like :"Yoruichi",the heroine I ocassionally choose for my flyers,who beats to final death,the "bad ones"!! ""
Television
I remember the time,when "SUPEROCK" was showed on MTV..It was every Monday after midnight..Showing clips of Nine Inch Nails,and having gorgeous women presenting it!!From Greek television,the series,that I'm playing:'heaven's key'!It involves soo many things:mystery,action,good actors,everything!(no coincidence that is already number one with more than a million viewers)..Also maybe SKAI tv, (just to see a documentary-not more).Oh !Also the unbeleivable:"A.M.A.N"from the past..!!(those who have seen it,know why..-))Viva Thessaloniki!!Best city in Greece.. ""
Books
I"m into philosophy & psychology books mostly( oh,yes- u understood well-to help my deranged soul..)Like Emmanuel Kant.Big fan of Carl Yung"s stuff..Soeren Kierkegaard.Roland Barthes.William Burrough"s.Tom Robbins.Vilchelm Reich.Eidika to"akou antrwpako"tairiazei ganti se kapoious pou kserw:-).Xeimwnas.(once upon a freaky time,I even translated:"The poet"s enemy",& sent it to the love of my life).Charles Baudelaire poetry & books. Lately I read the"symposio'of Plato,which was a friend"s recomendation.And also,another one,called"I die as a country"of a greek,called Jim Dimitriadis- it was like the writer threw up and there suddenly created 50 pages of extravagant thoughts.Liked it though..My dear friend:Alexis Stamatis. Yes,I adore poetry.Allen Ginsberg"s poetry.Karywtakis.Giannis Aggelakas.Consider him first a poet and then a rocker..Love Nietche too,but don"t necessarily agree with everything he said.Anyway,I"m a bit sceptical to"artists",cause I have the suspicion,that some of them should better try to"live"along with "creating"..(instead of doing just the second..)Anyway..As for magazines,I recently found out that"ANOTHER MAGAZINE"is really cool,although it"s a fashion one.And ofcourse:"UNCUT"&"NME"magazines,classical values.""
Heroes
No more heroes anymore,"said the choir of a song of Stranglers,right?..Not to mention that'heroes can easily turn out to zeroes'like beta Band said ..Well,..
maybe Superman..:-)I like the idea of someone even imaginary saving this world!!!
And Corto Maltese.I find his attitude sexy..Anyway,enough with comics..All those who still beleive in the magical word:LOVE.Maybe,only this can change the world.Also,those who beleive & fight for those famous lyrics..->"imagine there"s no country..,I wonder if u do,NOTHING to kill or die for,and no religion too.."Oh,yes,all those ARE heroes.And they can be all around us,not just on tv screens and covers of magazines,beleive me!!..:))

Ladydust http://lnk.ms/4dv1H comes in colours everywhere,she combs her hair-she's like a rainbow.. Posted 2 hours ago view more
About me:
Marina was born in Athens.She quit french litterature & followed different paths..
During the last years,she's been occupied with modeling.Right now,you can find her,working with 'Ace models'.She has till this moment,done campaigns,TV commercials,catwalks,catalogues,editorials,& have generally collaborated with so-so many photographers,producers,fashion designers,magazines,cosmetic companies,etc.(click:here or at my flickr pagefor more).(Among other,we should mention here,that recently she represented Greece,for the campaign of the world march tour for peace..)
Besides modeling,{although,for some,the combination is weird:-)}xe xe-,she has had the last 3 years,studies in drums.Music is & will always be her passion,especially if this"marriage" has to do with rock n"roll philosophy,which she interpretes in a few words,as:being authentic,& following the ways of the heart.She also adores poetry.She beleives it can be the ultimate art,especially when it comes as a way of looking at life,& secondly as expression.
For the last 5 years now,her second occupation,is:dj"ing.She has toured all over the country again and again,and is really happy for that..
Actually,there can be many different music profiles in her sets..From indie & alternative of 90"s to 60"s,from "punk" to "surf"rock..Darker or electro sounds also fit in her performances.Sometimes,choices for"harder"ears as well..It all depends on her mood,as long as there is the appropriate,"narrative"style to all that,of course..
As a guest dj,now,she has appeared in most famous clubs of her country,like,"Astra"club in Mykonos,"Art House"in Thessaloniki,"Diatiriteo"Thessaloniki again,'Stoa'club,Ioannina,"Red club"in Katerini,"Mode"/Kozani,"Stage"/Larissa,"Otro"-Serres,'Boca'/Alexandroupoli,''Motel'/Kavala,Casablanca soul"in Santorini","Dam"& 'Costa-Costa'Xalkidiki,-as from Athens:'Tiki',"Argw bar","Escoba","gazaki","alley cat","Underworld","Fuzz","Corto Maltese","Jackson Hall/kolonaki","sixnotites","Braff","Mad club",and in terms of festivals"like:'greek alternative day @ theatro petras', "Schoolwave @Texnopolis/gazi,'4 living thursdays festival'at Ioannina,or :'Earthdance & Capoeira' festival.She has also done two times,the music production for the shows of Daphne Valente-chairman of Greek designers,in terms of fashion week.Recently she also appeared as a guest dj,at London,at 'the others' venue,invited by:'the entertaiment group"..
In the future plans,comes a compilation which gonna include the "soundrack" of her life..The tracks that changed the way she watched the world around her:-)
Coming back to dj'ing stuff again-someone sees most flyers involving her events, & he notices,she was signing,as:"ladystardust"in the beggining, and the last years,as:"ladydust".For those who don't know,the name is inspired by the title of one of D. Bowie"s songs,and has a deeper meaning for her.Sometimes,she uses for" heroine",in her posters,a female(almost-actually she likes women more.:-),called Yoruichi.She"s half human,half cat-& is starring at a Japanese series of mangas,called: "Bleach".. She finds her, really attractive,concerning both looks,and personality!. She also names her dj sets "The Art Of Modern Rock."..
In life,generally,she detests any kind of possible "heart" compromise,& thinks that limits exist only as a challenge for people to overcome them.She beleives that in the final"account",we-people,should put whether this life-our life is that interesting,-(be careful!!it may seem but yet,NOT BE interesting-I mean REALLY INTERESTING..) that it could possibly become the theme for a movie..
Finally,u can find Marina,on Facebook,by clicking here:>Run to the"i like"application to dive into the ocean of her favourite music videos..:))

Ο έρωτας, όνομα ουσιαστικόν, πολύ ουσιαστικόν, ενικού αριθμού, γένους ούτε θηλυκού ούτε αρσενικού, γένους ανυπεράσπιστου. Πληθυντικός αριθμός οι ανυπεράσπιστοι έρωτες.
Ο φόβος, όνομα ουσιαστικόν, στην αρχή ενικός αριθμός και μετά πληθυντικός: οι φόβοι. Οι φόβοι για όλα από δω και πέρα.
Η μνήμη, κύριο όνομα των θλίψεων, ενικού αριθμού, μόνο ενικού αριθμού και άκλιτη. Η μνήμη, η μνήμη, η μνήμη.
Η νύχτα, όνομα ουσιαστικόν, γένους θηλυκού, ενικός αριθμός. Πληθυντικός αριθμός οι νύχτες. Οι νύχτες από δω και πέρα.
Guestings συνέχεια για το bar / club στα Εξάρχεια καθώς μετά τους Savvas Paschalidιs, Siopis και Alex Smoke ήρθε η σειρά του Φινλανδού Joakim Ija ή αλλιώς Κiki να επισκευθεί τα decks του. Ο εκ Βερολίνου DJ και παραγωγός που ανήκει στο δυναμικό του γνωστού techno - και όχι μόνο- γερμανικού label της Β Pitch, μετά την κυκλοφορία του πρόσφατου δεύτερου προσωπικού του άλμπουμ 'Kaiku' μας επισκέπτεται και πάλι για ένα DJ set γεμάτο με τις χαρακτηριστικές μελωδίες του στηριζόμενο βέβαια στον αγαπημένο του συνδιασμό από electro, techno και house ρυθμούς. Μαζί του ένας από τους ανερχόμενους νέους Έλληνες DJ και παραγωγούς, o Tonny Lasar.
