hello children,today we're gonna make ourselves a diamond!
now, everybody: fold! polish! fold! polish! fold! polish! fold! polish!and voilá!(the pleasure gäng recommends investing in diamonds. in these turbulent times, when governments are burning all the tax money they can possibly get a hold of: if there is one crisis-proof investment, it has to be a nice and shiny diamond. if everything falls apart, you can still look at it. please, just avoid them blood diamonds from Angola, Liberia, the Congo or the Côte d'Ivoire though.)
after weeks and weeks of pure tranquility here: finally a sign of life! and well, what a funky one...of course we haven't been sleepin' all this time, jsut so you can look forward to some very fresh new stuff from the infamous pleasure gäng right here. soon.["dancin' A-FRO", 2008, free work, defying the wet and cold fall]
