Fair lady

Am I the only one to appriciate fair skin? Lately there's one line I've heard over and over again; the summer's over, it was too short- I feel so pale!
Well, there's nothing wrong in beeing pale. I admitt that there's something about that time when the sun's out and you start to get some colour. But I do enjoy when fall comes and my pale skin appears again. I just feel that my features in some how shows a bit more. If you're pale and look sick- then my friend it's not the skin that's the problem. You probably have to change something in your diet, maybe try to get those 8 hrs sleep and take care of yourself.

Clowns

Just another day at work. Only this time I'm in front of the camera.... I hate clowns. I'm not very keen on circus- but somehow I find it pretty intresting. Could be the make-up, clothes. As long as I don't have to watch poor elephants run around and do things they don't normally would do.
So let's listen to a song, shall we? Goldfrapp in my heart.

Teacher

I'm off to school. Not to learn, but to teach. Teach them what, you might wonder. Oh well, it's a very important thing called eyebrow shaping. At least if you're going to be a make-up artist. I find that many make-up artist won't do brow shaping. Very strange I have to say.

Your eyebrows is such important thing for your face. Pretty much every mua is saying it. But then when it comes down to actually fix them- they say no? Doesn't make sense to me.

So now I'm off to FACE make-up school and hopefully one day soon- we have a bunch of artist actually doing brows.

Fresh faced

An "old" fav of mine is Daniel Sandler's liquid bluschers: Watercolours. They will give you a natrual and rosie look. Easy to apply and stays on you the whole day.

A tinted moisturizer from Kiehl's will give you beautiful base wiht a natrual glow.

Yes, I do love a pair of smokey eyes. I do love that the red lips trend stays even thru fall/winter. But c'mon- a face with barley there make-up is not to ignore. It can sometimes take more work to get the less- is- more face to look better then a full on party make-up.
I don't wear much make-up thru summer, but I have to say that to keep your skin fairly bare when the air changes and the autum comes, is just as great. For some reason I feel more "clean". Could be because of the lack of heat- and sweat. A long walk doesn't make me feel like I have a fever anymore. Instead the air makes me feel fresh and healty.

Patouf!

I thought I better show you some pictures from the fashion show at F12 the other night. You could of course see our own ( cuz that's what I will call her from now on ) Isabelle on the catwalk.

Beauty

Just something beautiful to look at. Photographer: Tomohide Ikeya.

Told you I like pictures.

Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair

I first saw these shoes, these beauties, in the shop window of Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, in black. I later saw them in all three colours, black/red/beige, and fell a little bit more in love. Yeasterday I saw them again for the third time, this time in beige. And I'm hooked. I just love them. I just have to see if I really feel like spending about 25oo SEK on a pair of shoes right now.....

Pictures!

My bedroom wall. This is the last thing I see before I fall asleep. And the first thing I see when I wake up

I LOVE pictures. I can sit and look at the same picture for ages. Only to go back to it just minutes after I put it away. I don't buy magazines to read. I do it cuz I'm after the pictures. People often looks thru mags when they come to me ( as they are a little bit of everywhere they are hard to miss ), they haven't even looked thru the whole mag before they look up and say: but it's just ads in here?! There's like nothing to read. Only pictures.

Well, I don't buy them to read. I buy them for the artistic joy that I get thru them. I'm after the harmony that I in some way seem to find.

So what I did the other day was to go and buy GLINT. It's a French magazine. In French. And I don't speak a word French. You get the picture?

The good and bad..

...working with good models. It's like you can't go wrong. And that's what is good and bad. The good is that what ever you wanna do- it probably going to turn out really good. The bad is- it can sometimes limit the challenge- of the same reasons. It can also mean that your idea that you just love love love and can't wait to start with- only take a short time to complete ( people like me will understand. We could work on the same thing for a long time and never really feel done ). Beacause for 1) they have great skin 2) they have great bone structure. They just have- what we call- IT.
But nothing can replace the feeling that comes to me when they get the clothes on and stands in front of the camera. You can tell when a model really want this and that she's happy doing it. There's something happening with her. Something in her eyes that you didn't see before. There's a hunger.
This summer I've had the pleasure to work with several great girls that just took my breath away. Isabelle who is fairly fresh, who got up early early morning to come to the set at 5:30 a.m- for no money. She didn't say one word during our two-day-filming. We were all tired and the energy was running low many times that weekend. But never did she complain. And she was great. Haven't seen the film yet but it will be fucking amazing.
Rosanna- delivered better than we could expect. 15 years old. I'm amazed. The youth but the attitude. Blow me away.
Josefine. Maybe no suprice. She started as a teenager and now at the age of 21 she knows better than many girls how to move and how her body look like.

Bunny

If you ever wondered what you can do with a big, white rabbit head and a bucket of pink watercolour sour milk- this is it. Take a brother and a sister, go down to a lake ( best time is when snow's still on the ground and you are freezing your ass off ), strip them and have one of them punch the other one with a baseball bat.

Little China girl

I've never tried to keep it a secret- my love for the girls from the East. It's something about them and I can't put my finger on it.
One big fav was of course the South Korean model, Kim Dual. Unfortunately she choose to make her life only 20 years long and was found in her flat in Paris in November 2009. We might never find out the truth behind this sad decision- but what it do show us is that beauty and fortune isn't always everything.
