Love in the forest
Okey kids, packing for summer-trip to summer forest love festival. Arvika in sweden. Going for Depeche Mode, NIN, Tiger Lou, Fever Ray, The Mars Volta (guess what, Fever Ray crashes with VETO! Shitfuck), The Sounds, thinking about trying to see Santigold (might be severe protests from the partly gothic entourage though, when I stopped at Lady Sovereign at Quart some year ago, I was dragged away forcefully). Mostly the camp and the people and the swedish summer though. And the feeling of putting on lots of makeup without having to care. YEAH! So I’ll be away for a week or so, and coming back with probably lots of pictures.

illustration will save the world
is the subtitle of a great coffeetablebook called “Fashionize 2″ that I picked up from Selfridges & Co last summer.

The “cover-star” is illustrated by the A-MAY-ZINGLY talented Sophie Griotto – and you should check out her site asap if you haven’t already done so. Just like Esra Røise makes you wanna go out and party, Sophie Griotto makes you want to invest in designer furniture, put on some tea and be fashionable urban chic.
Speaking of tea, I’ve discovered that to save me from death by coffeine overdose at work, Chai latte is milky drinkasm! (same category as foodgasms and orgasms)
Hyper-review of the start of MFW
Milan has started, hyper-review so far:
Vivienne Westwood has done it before, stays the same, could be worse. Burberry is good, same old, works. No big suprises so far. Lots of lookbooks. Recession. Boring. Looking forward to Paris. McQueen made artsy-fartsy video. Seen it before. Like a “okey” music video without music and without clothes. This is boring. Need sex-change. Need Paris to save me from sex-change. Julius looks good, Scoute has preview. Gareth not showing mens. Bugger. RO and Julius is only hope. Not much progress in other words.
Might concider sex-change.

Blogrollin’

Also, I can’t quite get it out of my head the idea to start a underground fashion/lifestyle magazine. I keep debating it in my head, norwegian underground printed zine, english printed-slash-webzine about norwegian stuffz, is there a market for it? Do I care if there is a market? …Might I be overthinking it, and I should just do it with passion and don’t care about “success” or not? Do I even have the time to take on a new project like this?

I dunno why I’m so addicted to magazines, I really don’t. Picked up i-D and Nylon recently, and a digital subscription to Nylon

In the latest news…
Jimmy Choo is the next Designer for H&M – launching november 17th, including bags, shoes and accessories for men. I foresee more “dressed up in a suit”-shoes, but nevertheless – this IS gonna be better than Matthew Williamson no doubt. Looking forward to some teaser pictures, but this is just in, so it might be a while.
You Are A Knife
I’m not that into paparazzi-starstyle. Not even shure who the guy is (Taylor Momsen sidekick?). Most will probably just look at her style, but look at his! Hands down the perfect casual outfit (add a rosary, leather bracelet and cooler shades). Someone’ll hold him while I steal his clothes ‘n run?

Coffee
So I’m currently working as a barista (except today, where I’m home sick with my fiancé and a pot of french press). My fascination with coffee is almost scary. So here’s a picture for mood and one for info. Bytheway I would kill for the above espresso machine with the long curved milk-steamers!

Devil in the Details
First of all: the new Placebo album Battle for the Sun was released today, and it is amazing!

Now working at a coffeeshop as a barista. It’s fun and it makes me drink way too much coffee during the day. Maybe I should start making more tea, nom nom nom<3

One to watch
Roxanne Pitteway. You’ll hear the name soon enough. She will be huge, marry Gareth Pugh, they will fuck and have a kid, and that kid will grow up to swallow the fashion world in sinister architectual wierd stuff and we will all walk around trying FOR THE LOVE OF GOD not to bump into eachother as it would probably kill the other person. Hugs will end in 2030.
Got a bit carried away there, but seriously, pay attention to Roxanne Pitteway. http://www.gfw.org.uk/home.aspx
Huuurts!
My body hurts like crazy today. We were working at the preperations for a concert today and it ended up beeing more frustrating and painful than fun, so we decided to fuck the concert, head home, order a pizza (that won’t be here for another hour, meh!). So now I’m lying flat in the couch (I was gonna say on, but it’s more “in” the sofa then “on” the sofa), listening to AFI (oh, and, partly related; on a very random surfing-session, I came across a website dedicated to gay emo-porn! Not suprised) …and waiting for the pizza, wondering if I wanna put on a movie or catch up on my rss-list. Or both. I’m a very good multitasker!!!
