I'm The Obsesser...

I have loved La Roux for a long time, but am loving her more and more. Wondering - it may be the fact that its spring soon, and it's just perfect springmusic!

I Love Her!!

Beth Ditto, ladies and gents!

Perfectly Lonely

So, I've been sick for almost all of february, and I had to move in between my penicilin hell - but now I'm on the other side of the bridge, and am EXTREMELY impatient when it comes to waiting for Spring! I want it now - bare feet, beer outside, streetparties and hourlong cafe-visits! Is that too much to ask for?
So while I'm waiting, I'm keeping myself occupied with my new favorite pair of sneaks - as I call them, gummibears, and Tina Dickow singing the ultrafamous "ensom" from Zulu Awards 2010 - and my goodness, does she rock that song! I know that Medina is kind of well-respected, but as a true fan of ms. Dickow since 2007, I simply have to say it's a shame "ensom" isn't her song!
And by the way, think of this - "is just that nobody talks about it - but everybody does it..."

How Very Down To Urth of Ya'll

A little sum-sum-thin' from CPH Fashion Week.

Running a little, due to high heels and a runny nose, However, here's an ode

My first encounter with Alexander McQueen was back in 2005, when I uprooted my roots and moved to the big California. I had plenty of guilty pleasures; In n' Out Burger, Taco-Bell, huge burito'es and Oreoes (mostly food) - but whenever I enjoyed my guilty pleasure(s) - I sat with a bunch of tabloid magazines - US magazine, Star, People, OK! etc. etc. - and looked at the overly exposed celebs, and found out how NOT interesting it was to see them pumping gas. What did come across to me, and the reason why I continued buying these weekly magazines, was the fashion. At this time Lindsay Lohan was getting it on with everyone in LA, and was skinny as a skinny bitch, but she did seem to have one thing together - her sense of style/fashion. Along with Nicole Richie they strutted along Robertson Boulevard with their Balenciaga city bags, and their SKULL-scarfs. I loved both items, mostly the scarf! So when I came back to Copenhagen for a short little visit, I hunted down the only shop in Denmark who had the scarfs - and since then, I've been a true fan!!
Thursday - last week, I was running around like a maniac, hating to play important and be important, during Copenhagen Fashion Week, and in the middle of running around and playing S*p*i*e -goodshoes, I had a moment where I drank my coffee and checked out the daily gossip on people.com. And I was stunned, out of breath and completely in chock when I read that the great Lee McQueen was found dead in his London home.
He was one of the few designers who truly pushed boundaries, who was completely in his own universe, and followed no rules. He was a great inspiration, and will become a true legend.
Most artists - the great ones, whether them being in the artistic world or the fashion world, have had a tendency to be a bit neurotic, depressive, manic or just plain wierd - but I do believe that some of these character-traits is what makes their work so incredibly great. Mr. Lee, I hope you'll rest in peace, that you're satisfied and proud; proud of what you did and contributed with!

Penicilin, Moving-trucks, Chamomile-tea and a swollen sore Throat!

So, I've been sick for 4 days now, and have been laying in bed, sweating like a dog, and feeling extremely sorry for myself, so sorry I actually cried in front of a doctor. And in the middle of being very very sick (I don't remember feeling like this since I returned home from Uganda in 2004), I have to move, I guess the term "have" is me exagerrating, cause I'm not getting kicked out, actually I'm moving to, what I predict will be my little piece of heaven. In less than 24 hours I'll be sitting in my new apartment, looking at my city, and yay for that!!
However, watching my parents pack down my stuff, it made me think about how much my apartment has witnessed, and the memories it beholds, and the memories I know have to memorize, because I will not be reminded of them, every day.
Whenever my mood was up, way up, or down, way down, the apartment 'listened' so faithfully. The little place, my little hide-away as I used to call it has seen me transform, and I so wish walls could speak some times. It really does make me realize that it will be kinda hard closing the door tomorrow for the last time.
But fuck it, its a new era, and I'm excited!
As Kanye says - TO THE SKY!

Falling Away From The Past / Slow Dancing In A Burning Room

It's saturday evening, and I'm faced with facts that reminds of the past. Facts about how people have the best intentions in their heart, but somehow, their actions overrule and symbolize pain for someone else.
I started out 2010 with my best intentions, and had a clear plan of how I wanted to make a clean cut, cut out all the things that I knew would hurt someone else, and now I realize, I should have made a clean cut in 2009. Because at the end of the day, when I close my eyes, I know, that I've been 50% of an action that will ultimately hurt an innocent person. And I need to stop! Show my face, come clean, and be honest, not to anyone I know, but most importantly, towards myself.
In less than a week, I'll uproot my roots, and move from my old apartment, to my new one. And I can't help but wonder, and stumble upon the fact that I will say goodbye to an era.
And may I finish of with one of my favorite lyrics from John Mayers newest album "Battle Studies" / Edge of Desire - Young, and full of running, tell me, where has that taken me, just a great figure 8 or a tiny infinity, Love is really nothing, but a dream that keeps waking me, for all of my trying, we still end up dying, how can it be?

The Ones You Don't Want To Play With...

A couple of days ago, I was on my way home from work, and I didn't feel like going straight home, which is why I stopped at Kgs. Nytorv - (center of Copenhagen) - and watched a free exhibition, in the middle of the square. The portraits below, are from the exhibition, and centers around homeless people, who've been given up, by their loved ones, their extended families and the the system.
The pictures touched something in myself, and reminded me, once again that materialism is just so extremely superficial, and it is what is underneath that will shake you to your very core.
So if you have a minute or two, take a walk to Kongens Nytorv. http://djfotograferne.dk/sw13604.asp

PERFECTION

I am IN LOVE with Jennifer Connelly!

To Do or Not To Do

So, my first post in January, my first post in 2010. And though a new year is here, right here in the present, I find myself with even more questions and even less answers. I so long for a sense of stability, but as my great dear mum said yesterday, "Darling, it's your age, and the many choices that come with your age, that makes you confused" - and again, as so many times before, dear mummy is right on.
So what do I do when great oppertunities are right in front of me, but I don't know whether to take the right or left turn? Because no matter which turn I take/choose, it will for a while change a path of mine.
I think I can only compare the situation I find myself in, right now, to the many situations pilots finds themselves in, sometimes; let's imagine a pilot going to Rio De Janeiro, with 300 passengers, but changing his well-structured route, and taking a leap of faith, and instead go to Tokyo. The passengers might be pissed, excited, irritated or happy, and the pilots boss may be scared, fear anxiety and most likely be shit-faced, what is the worst that can happen??! Yes, people depend on the pilot to make the right choice, but what if the right choice is to go to Tokyo?

Wishing, and hoping...

So 2009 is lacking towards its end. A year that I could not have predicted the result and meaning of. I feel in many ways as if Karma came around, once again, and it taught me valuable lessons in the great war, called life. The reason I'm choosing to call it a war, is that there's a constant reminder of what's good and bad, what's right and wrong and what makes you laugh or cry. It's a balance, thats so hard to find, and I do not believe I'll find it in 2010, but I do believe that I'll come closer. 3 years ago I thought I was oh so wise, and I knew it all, but circumstances has shown me, that I know so little, and that no matter how hard I try, I cannot predict what the next day, the next hour, the next week or the next year will bring. What I can do, is enjoy myself, my great surroundings, and make sure they know I enjoy them. I said goodbye to someone this year, and it was much needed for myself, but it turned out that that person means more than me, than I could chose to ignore, and I'm so happy that that person is now a part of my life again. I know who I want to surround myself with, and how.
So here's a thank you; to the 3 girls/'skrævs' in my life who've been ready to grab me, thank you to the monday-dinner team for great dinners, great conversations and a great bond, thank you to my oldest friend 'mims' for never being on time, but always being there, thank you to my PG for reminding me to laugh when it seemed so easy to cry, thank you to the "wife "in my life, you're the closets I'll ever come to having a soul-mate in my life, thank you for rushing when times where tough, thank you for understanding who I am, thank you to my great 'babs' for making me understand the relationship between you and I and what that entitles, and last, thank you to my two assholes, for giving me two very special and dear smiles that reminds me of the times that I thought were lost!
So at last, I hope for a great 2010 with more laughter (if possible), more outdoor-Copehagen-activities, more love and more hugs!

ROCK ON!

A Hollywood-Nerd

As a true celevrity-nerd, and yes, I am proud to say that I read all the gossip every day, it saddens me that yet another celeb has gone to cupcake-heaven (my idea of heaven is a big cupcake). Clueless was one of the all-time greatest girlie-girl movies, and I was in chock when I checked out www.perezhilton.com, to find out that the fab Brittany Murphy is now dead.
So here's a little 'ode' to the some of the FANTASTIC celebs we all lost in 2009:

Patrick Swayze: Thank you for making me dance every time I watch Dirty Dancing, thank you for making me realize that only you know how to make "hungry Eyes"
DJ AM: A true DJ at heart, a dude that lived for the beats, the rhythm and the lyrics - the music, you took to a new level
Michael Jackson: When I was 16, a had a huge discussion whether you or Stevie Wonder defined POP music, and there's no doubt in my mind, that you will always be the King, you brought me so many great memories, and I will continue beating it on the dancefloor every time I listen to "Rock With You"
Brittany Murphy: "I will never te-eel" - wauw, that sentence is stuck in my mind!

So as the nerd I am, I will finish off by writing, may you all rest in piece, and enjoy eating the huge cupcake!

Who do you strive to be?

... The woman who is so well aware of her surroundings, the man who is so insecure he has tattoed his homemade measurement of his penis? What defines you?
Do we, human-beings cover up ourselves with little lies, so that deep down, nobody really knows, who YOU ARE? Will we ever figure out who we are, without the help of self-help books, friends, food, movies, music, the newest cell-phone, or another half?
My grandpa said, a couple of days ago, that to live in an environment without money, and the power money creates, we would run around bare-naked, and be happy as hell.
Is there a middleway??

Copenhagen, Hopenhagen, Brokenhagen

All I can say is, WHAT HAPPENED??
COP15 has truly shown us, that no matter how powerful, stubborn, or how willing one is to negotiate, intercultural differences, or perceptions, and the lack of understanding to different human beings, made an impact on the goal that was reached. Which was, exactly?
I believe every single person came here, to Brokenhagen, as FOX News now refers Copenhagen as, with the best intentions at heart.
And it kills me to acknowledge, that nothing came out of it, all the good intentions are now in the dumpster.
Action, not thoughts, ACTION!
(Yay, inside me, theres a hidden acticist, with a fashionable outlook:-)

Ladies of my time

A couple of days aago, I saw the movie about legendary Coco (Gabrielle) Chanel. And embarrasing as it may sound, I truly realized the revolution she started; a new state of mind where women all over the world were no longer bound to the concepts or perceptions of what a true lady was supposed to look like, act like or dress.
And it made me stumble across some of the true ladies in my little countries, they're not the fashioneditors or hip bloggers who circulate in the danish fashionsociety, no, it's the ladies who have truly worked, and worked hard to get to the well respected number they represent in such a small society as the danish fashion-society. I do with all my haert, respect them!!

Things that make me laugh/smile abt. Christmas

1.The never-ending story about the most overexposed celeb in Copenhagen, Sydney Lee, why he's famous, I really don't know, but he sure makes me laugh!
2.The joy of winter-flowers
3.Sonia Rykiel pour H&M
4."Pebernødder" - a danish christmas-treat
5.The christmas-trees, or the lack thereof
6. Lots of candles
7. World Aids Day (December 1'st)
8. All the great activities in CPH during
9. The financial crisis, not that I love 'it', but the fact that stores need to get rid of their stock, and therefore decides to put it on sale!
