The hardcore and gentle
Big Time Sensuality
Have you ever felt like being in a video clip when you're in the most
natural and comfortable place?
Somewhere real and familiar such as home, perhaps in the shower? No? Oh,
come on ... who'd believe you haven't?
How many of you pretend you're on film when you're singing in the shower,
faking people applauses, screaming out your name and dancing like crazy?
Ok, now we're getting to the point ...
Let's say Anja Czioska can make this happen! You can sing, you can
dance, and you can be filmed while having a refreshing shower listening to
music of the 70s ...
I know this text sounds more like an advert, but in a way ... this
attitude of selling and showing yourself belongs very much to the 70s, where
the whole idea of the "showerbox" comes from. There is, in fact, a kind of
immorality, simplicity, nudity that can make you feel comfortable with
yourself and others. I know, it sounds like publicity, I hate it,
I am really truly sorry.
