Farewells
Almost ten years have passed since singer Tina Turner applied for Swiss citizenship. The unmistakable voice was with us for 83 years. Actor Matthew Perry passed away somewhat earlier and unexpectedly this year. He brought us countless laughs as Chandler Bing in the series Friends with a great deal of sarcasm. He published his legacy in 2022 with his autobiography. This is the first time he has been in the spotlight with all his problems. Professional cyclist Gino Mäder was even younger. He died at the age of just 26 after an accident at the Tour de Suisse.

In my world, Super Mario chases Stormtroopers with a unicorn and Harley Quinn mixes cocktails for Eddie and Peter at the beach bar. Wherever I can live out my creativity, my fingers tingle. Or maybe it's because nothing flows through my veins but chocolate, glitter and coffee.
