Sju små kärlekar.

Because of the way you fuss about your hair.


And the way you let me pat the back of your neck when you return from the hairdresser with a fresh crew cut.


Because of the horrible drinks you mix to make me giggle.


Because you let me follow you around with my camera paparazzo style.


How you get obsessed with weird nerdy stuff. Like different types of birdsong. Or reading as many books as possible in a year.


Because you always have a trick up your sleeve. Always a surprise at your fingertips.


Because you'll be the king of Lost Boy forever.

Happy birthday Kristofer! I love you.

Du vet vilken dy jag varit i.

These three photos really convey what I feel like doing right now; go for a loong walk and then fall into bed. This morning I turned in the assignment I've been working on, and then met up with Cookie to run all over town fixing stuff for Kristofer's birthday tomorrow. Oh, I love birthdays! The presents, the secrets! I've planned some real good stuff too, I'm sure he'll be happy. Now, I'm gonna collapse on my couch for a little while. Later!

Enveloperad i böcker.

Oh, I feel so distant from everything right now. I'm writing my dissertation and my head is swimming with facts and thoughts. My thesis is on how Swedish fashion photography is affected by the state of the business cycle (we're coming out of a recession right now, due to (among other things) the Lehman Brothers liquidation).

On a sunnier note: thank you so much to Jonna and Ida for your awfully kind words.

Now, back to those books. ;)

Och vi höll aldrig tillbaks eller blev oroliga att tiden skulle ta slut. Vi hoppades alltid att när man vände sig om, skulle en vän finnas kvar där.

Hello! Yesterday I went for a long, wonderfully brisk walk with my darling friend Ingrid, her younger sister and her dog Nils.




It was a great day for a walk, so we met lots of other dogs. I was a little scared that some crazy dog would, like, eat Nils or something. But everything went just fine.


We walked out to the Rosendal Garden Café, one of my favorite places in Stockholm.


The sisters!






I love the calmness of Rosendal (you have to pick your time, though), it's so homey and nice.


But also, which Ingrid pointed out, a little Tim Burton kind of scary. Which, of course, I love. ;)




And I'm a big sucker for green houses. I think they're just so pretty and creepy at the same time.














It was so cosy, and I'm happy that I got to spend some time with Ingrid before she's leaving for London. Bye darlin', have a safe trip!

Men jag tänkte, trots alla drömmar, att du skulle sitta någonstans här bredvid mig.

I'm feeling very girly today, thus I'm donning frilly skirt, lace top and lavender eyeshadow. Now: off on a long walk with a darling girl and her tiny dog.

Remember that secret little photoshoot I did last week? It was for Emma Lavelle's wonderful blog, Kisses and Cross Stitches, which turned 2 years this week! She asked me and a whole bunch of great bloggers if we would all contribute with one post on the theme "What I did on my birthday". Today my post will be up, so please go check out my story about a very special birthday.

Happy birthday!

Och jag låtsas hellre hela livet för att behålla det här.

They've issued a storm warning here in Stockholm today, and so far this morning we've already had one power outage. I'm off to a meeting now, but I'll hurry home later to burrow up with Kristofer. We plan to eat Lucia buns and have hot choco infront of several bad movies instead of walking in the blizzard outside. Lovely.

Jag ska göra dig till min.

Good things right now:

+ perfect green home made guacamole on veggie burgers.
+ hanging out with friends watching the taping of Kristofer's TV show.
+ long morning walks.
+ important, secret meetings.
+ planning Christmas at home, just he and I.
+ dreaming of New York.
+ the frost, covering the rooftops I see when I pull up my blinds in the morning.
+ tiny porcelain bambies (always).

What are your good things right now?

Är ni med mig, systrar, bröder; dansa för att hjärtat blöder!

So yesterday Sylvia, Jules, Ingrid and I went out to my all time favorite burlesque club, the Hootchy Kootchy Club, and the theme was Dia de Los Muertos. It was so much fun!!!






Sylvia and I always manage to get one shot like this of each-other every time we go out, ha ha.




I felt so beautiful (it is, once again, the Tim Burton kid in me).


The gang! I love this photo.


My darling Ingrid. I called her The Galliano Vision all night.


And everybody's favorite couple, Sylvia and Jules. <3




At the club there were lots of great little shows. So inspiring.






Like this striptease, where the girl danced for her "dead husband" (a skull) and ended the show by pouring his ashes all over herself. Weird, morbid and hilarious. I especially loved the way the painted skeleton hands on her tits instead of wearing pasties.














It was a great night, one of the best nights out I've had in a long time. Thanks for dancing with me, darlings!
