Unknown facts about me

Many, maaaaany years ago I did a cover of a magazine together with Dee Snider from Twisted Sister .
The shoot was originally supposed to be with Alice Cooper, but he was a bit late and I had to leave early so I couldn't wait for him (what a diva!). But the nice mr Dee Snider was in handy instead.

I've been a "synthare" (the closest translation is electro goth) since the age of 12, and in Sweden there was a big "war" between hardrockers and synthare.
We only liked synthetic sounds made by computers. Our house Gods by the time were Alphaville, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb.
Guitars and real drums were strictly forbidden.
I've seen half of the audince leave when electro-bands played live in Sweden and all of a sudden brought in a guitarr on stage!
So for ME to do a shoot with one of the most hardrocker there is was an inner fight!
On one hand - really cool to even be close to this legend (yes, I've seen their early videos and heard their guitar based music) and on the other hand - this man is the father of my sworn enemies...
I still have very mixed feelings when seeing this :)
But I have to tell you - he had a great personality! Very warm and easy going...but still, that can't convert my cold, cadenced electro heart <3

    This is such an amazing picture. I'm a huge fan of Twisted Sister and Dee Snider in general, the two of you in one photo is seriously rad. Him with red hair... This must've been the late 90's, I can't remember him having red hair other than when he did his movie Strangeland.

    Här har du en hårdrockare som älskar en syntare (du såklart). plus att jag går lite utanför min genre och lyssnar på EBM fast jag ebentligen inte får. ;)

    Well that's not true, why on earth would he marrry a pornostar when he is happily married to Queen Silvia?!
    But we in sweden know a littl' bit more about this than the rest of the world does and the news paper around the world only write that crap to make more money in their pocket.
    We in sweden are more than happy this hasn't affect us much at all, and by the way, doesn't royalties have their rights do have a normal personal life? Just take a look at the brittish royalties, if you are interested in "taboo events" you should take a look at them instead, the swedish royalties aren't that interesting anyway if it's the dirt you look after ;)

    Yes I got that, but I just felt like saying my opinion :)

    Cruelbird: "Goth" meant that prince Carl-Philip is getting married to a pornstar, not the king.

    @Goth: Sweden are not ruled by the King as for example England. We have the Royalties just for "Swedens decoration" sort of, to help with the relations to other contries. We are ruled by the government.
    I myself find the Swedish arrangement very good. I like the Royalties and think they do a good job as representing my contry. But still, every one of them are nothing more than persons, and all people can make mistakes. This thing have been known about our King for decades withing small groups. I know people who worked for them at parties and have told me about the Kings wandering eye ages ago...

    The Prince is dating a girl who's shown her breasts in magazines, if that makes you a pornstar - hell, we all are! Me included.. Pornstar is when you HAVE SEX in front of a camera for cash. We don't call Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson pornstars for a homevideo.

    I acctually like the Prince a bit more now for not being afraid of having the girlfriend HE likes. He reminds me of my husband with that. He must be one crazy person to walk down the Adora road. I like people with their own mind.

    But sure - it's not the BEST thing in the world to live a promiscuous life when you are a King, he should be better then all of us and show a good example. I'm a bit disappointed. He should know better. But he's got great taste in women, both the Queen and the mistress La Camilla (of former Army of Lovers) are great looking women.
    I just hope the King is very sorry for hurting his wife and gives her a BIG "remorseful-diamond-ring" and that he will be a better husband in the future. I hope they still can find the love for eachother.
