One day at home - Cologne meets papenberg

I am wondering how important underwear is - especially for men. In general no one will see your briefs, but somehow I think my undies are one of the most important things I wear every day. It gives me this very special feeling. I guess you know what I mean. I love underwear, but what about you guys out there? Honestly, do men really have to care about undies? If you ask Peter Papenberg, the designer of papenberg body wear, there is no doubt. Every man has to look sexy and fresh underneath his trousers. Underwear is the hero. This is why Peter invited me to see his new collection at the nightcontrol party in Cologne.

Party, underwear, good looking men in underwear – all these exciting things in my hometown Cologne. It sounded like the perfect Saturday night to go out with my friends and finally I might find a good reason to get rid of my old Calvins.

My Saturday started as usual. Getting up, breakfast at the Spitz, my favourite breakfast place in town. There is no other place where you get better scrambled eggs in Cologne. The Spitz is in the middle of town, a great place to meet and great. Just sitting there for a while, makes you meeting everyone you want to meet and even the ones you don't want to meet. I enjoyed my eggs and was reading the newspaper. My Spitz is my place to be - on a sunny Saturday morning. And with my friends Jürgen and Sandra I like it even more.

Sitting there we three were thinking about what to wear tonight. Would I be really willing to spend 55 Euro for a brief, only to get free entry? I really like the silhouettes of papenberg and the mix of bamboo and cotton feels so damn sexy on the skin, but 55 Euro? YES I would get if for 55 Euro, considering what girls have to spend to look good underneath. So I was really looking forward to see the collection. On the way to the Holmes Place, my gym, I also met Sarah, another good friend of mine. She seamed to be more enthusiastic about the idea of cute men in underwear than the undies themselves. A plan was made, we all wanted to meet at 9 pm at Chez Chef to have some drinks and going to the party.

After the gym I went shopping. No, I really did not need anything. I like to shop til you drop, especially nicely wrapped things. At home I always ask myself the big "Why", why did I do it again. But believe me, it is a passion. At least I can recommend the Totontosplash tea, not only because of the packaging.

Arrived at home I started to put myself into the right clothes. Casual, simple and sexy, that was the look for the night. The army trouser chucks from Kuala Lumpu, a cotton V-neck shirt (I know V-neck is a no go this year) and a knitted Cardigan – that's it, basta.

Next stop - Chez Chef. It is like my second living room. I like the architecture, the industrial look, the designer furniture and the perfect set up of the light. Even the service is professional and friendly. I had Sushi and tuna, the best Sushi and tuna in town. All insiders go to the Chez Chef for the bathrooms. A magic place where you can hear much more than fairy tails … Andi, the managing director of a Munich hotel, really loved the place. Andi and the doors - sorry, but I am not allowed to tell you more.

We left Chez Chef because we wanted to see the undies at nightcontrol. Arriving at the club I saw already the stuff and the GoGo's in action. All dressed in papenberg body wear. They all looked sexy and hot- real eye candies. During the night, the dancers were presenting the whole collection of papenberg, they had for every dance another out fit. I really like the new brand, every single style looks good, The brand is mine. There is just one thing - If you don't go to the gym, don't try to wear Hermes.

Let me tell you, papenberg is underwear you don't want to hide, under your clothes. It is high quality material and so perfectly made. And on a dancers body it even looks better. By the way, the party was fully packed and the DJ did a good job. Party party party. Yes I had fun. And I was really surprised that it was already 5 am when I looked at my watch for the first time. I left at 6 am, I had to go to bed. Berlin was calling. I'll have a date with Axel as I mentioned already: Also with Monika, Sybille and Ralph.
