Vernissage

The vernissage was a total hit! We got on the news, 2 newspapers, and additionally one today! And all gave us fantastic reviews!
See the clip here.

Exhibit

Mercy me! The exhibit is SO much work.
I do it together with my best friend. She is educated in stuff like this; setting an exhibit to make it have a nice flow. I feel so incapable in this area...

I do most of the print-outs and computer-related things, and she do the more hands on things. It feels like I do nothing, since all I do is just sit there in front of the stupid computer.
Of cause that is ecual work, but it feels so small in comparison..

Friday is opened to the media, and Saturday at 13:00 is vernissage. All of you in my neighbourhood are most welcome - it's an open vernissage!

Lump

I noticed a lump on my throat, behind my left ear a week ago.

Today I noticed another - on my neck.

And also I got some really strange stomach pain yesterday.

I sure hope it's just stress related because of the exhibit.

I don't have the time to see a doctor yet.

As seen we started setting the exhibit today and my friend thought I should be in one showcase....
(Sorry about my blue muffin socks - we had washday today)

Exhibit

This morning I thought I had it figured out - how to program the sheets for the exhibit.
But then I forgot how I did it - WTF?! Rest of the day was spent to try to remember. But, nah...

I felt so stupid!
After like 67 trial and errors I found a working way - but there's no way in hell this is the "fight" way - it's to complicated.

The papersheets are to be 90 x 150 centimeters, 200 dpi.
The area of the text is 50 x 142 centimeters
The text is Arial, size 47.
The text must be tabbed, so I made it in Words, even though I can't get the sheet as big as I need. That didn't work, so I pasted it in Power Point instead, and tried as good as I could to tab it.. Then saved it to a pdf, opened it in Photoshop and copied. That works. Takes some time, but can be done.
But this can't be the easiest way???
If there is any computer wiz out there - HELP ME!!!

My computer will not co-operate while doing the texts to the exhibit. My brain will surely melt if I don't figure this out. Sometimes I hate computers!

This weekend we'll start setting the exhibit - and not all the art-artists have pulled through so I'm starting to panic! And I'm falling behind as well... I'm gonna age 10 years this upcoming week. Send me some strength, please!

Today I applied to school! It's textile orientation. I need to get better at sewing I think. Wish me luck :)

I'm currently editing my new video. It's so fun to do :) Here's a sneak!

But all off a sudden some polish man came in and hit me in the head with a frying pan (not for real, but it feels like it when you ge dead tired in a second!). So now I have to stop editing and start sleeping to get a good start of next week. Crap! I think I'm coming down with a cold too...

Thank you all for the design help - it was very nice of you to help me out. Hopefully I can make a pretty top now :)
So far I have colored my hair. Later I'm gonna film a new video featuring how I make my eyebrows.

Design help

If I was about to design a little top, a bit similar to this:

Would you prefer it with Lace 1:

Lace 2

Lace 3

or Lace 4?

The garnment is supposed to be comfortable enough to be worn under a corset as well as by itself. Thank you for your help <3

Party

Me and singer Claus of Leæther Strip this last weekend :) The concert was SO great! I just loooove the song "Evil Speaks"! Thank's Claus <3
And btw - he had the WWF panda tattooed on his right lower arm. Cute!

Montignac Diet

As I'm sitting here eating brie, blue cheeze and finn crisp I came to think about the "safe" evening snacks at Phase 1.

What you always needs to have at home while in the first phase is >70% chocolate. Since you cut out all the sugar and sweetening you 'll need something if you get a craving - just a small piece though...

At evenings if I'm in the mood for something to eat, more luxurious, here's some tips:
* different cheese (brie, white/blue cheese) and finn crisp (or other fiber cracker with no sweetening)
* whipped cream, fresh berrys (straw-, rasp-, blue-berries) perhaps with some >70% chocolate splinter
* sliced apple with cinnamon in the micro until warm and mushy, served with lightly whipped cream and chopped almonds
* fruit salad (apple, pear, orange), whipped cream
* a handfull of nuts

This weeks party

Me and my sisters cute boyfriend Mattias have the same kind of handbag! Isn't that just too cute!

It was at the Leather Strip concert in Karlshamn.

Guess I'm awake now, after yesterdays fabulous concert with Leather Strip! It was so good!

The only bad thing was that the guests didn't try hard enough with their looks. Well, there was no butt ugliness, still some stylish boys wearing the classic black shirt with tie; some red, some white, some striped in And One colors, some black. That was nice indeed - BUT - I'd like some more impressing hairdo's and MORE make up on the boys. Only a handful had found their black eyepencil I'm sad to say.

The girls did much better; I saw lashes, dreads, corsets and cool footwear...but as you know I'm never fully happy until people go ALL the way and dares to try-to-hard! But there were some very cute girls there :*
I intended to tell them, but I didn't find the time as I was in some fashinating dialogues. But if you might read this - you were really pretty <3

I will post pictures later, but now I'm gonna shape up, put on a übercool make up (yeah, right - as if I can be THAT cool) and meet up with friend Jennifer to go over the exhibit I'm the project leader of. She is a glass artist who will have her work shown. She is one cool girl I tell you!

Here's me and Jennifer at Depeche Mode 2001.

Leather Strip tonight!

It's 16:20 and I will go to a concert with Leather Strip later! Wohoooo.
Just a small panik - I only have my foundation and rouge on, and it's less then 3 hours until we leave! Where's my brown paper bag?!

Right now I will make dinner - tonights special is fillet of beef served with home marinated tomatoes and a green salad. The kids will also have a potatoe gratin with garlic. I will of cause have red wine to the meat, and after it's "för-fest" (pre-party) while I do my make up. I will not, I reperat - NOT, be sober tonight.

Hopefully I will have some okay pictures to show...

Why the hell don't they do this one for girls? We don't just wanna look like fluffy and romantic. I would buy this..

This can be bought at X-tra-x (Germany) for €79. They deliver all over the world. BUT - they have looooong waiting time...

And I also think this is a perfect Adora wallet! Spiderweb - yeah! But I'm very perticular about the inside of the wallet, it needs to have place for many pictures, so that's why I have a plain vinyl right now... €8 on X-tra-x.

Vince Festival

I can now verify that Covenant will be the main act at my Vince Festival.

Other bands to play is: Mergel Kratzer, Colony 5, Voister Litz and me and my sisters newly started band: Asperger Synthdrome.

Just got off the phone with Eskil (singer of Covenant) and I'm so looking foward to their concert!

Montignac diet

I eat according to his first book (not sure about it's english name, but the swedish could be translated to "I eat - therefore I get thin").

There is a Phase 1 - the weightloss phase, and Phase 2 - the stabile phase.

At Phase 1 (and always) you should start every meal with about ½ an apple/pear or some berries. Why? To prevent the blood sugar fall you get after a dinner when your body concentrates on to take care of the new food. This causes you to want some sugar since your body starts feeling slow. By adding a bit of a sugar-rush in advance, you won't get that craving.

Then the big nono's is: potatoes, white rice and pasta, couscous, boiled carrots, corn, grapes, water melon, everything containing wheat flour, NO sugar OR sweetener (candy, soda, juice, cakes, bread, honey, glucose....), no alcohol, no light products, coffee/tea, nothing with carbohydrate over 50 (or 30 dependig on how hard you want to go). I usually go by 30, because I'm done with it quicker and can get back to eating those cream sauces I like in Phase 2 :)

And as I said, no counting. If you want to eat 11 beef steakes with broccoli - go for it. The point is to eat until you feel full.

I keep the fat level down in Phase 1, so a normal dinner can be homemade beef, tomatosauce made from ovenbaked tomatoes with red paprika and red onions with a pinch of garlic and fresh basil that's been mixed to a sauce, served with boiled broccoli and mixed fresh salad (if in Phase 2 I add a dijon cream sause).

According to Mr. Montignac lunch should be the days fattest meal. So an omelette with tomatoes, spring onion, muschrooms and cheese is a good lunch.

Important: your brain needs fat, so by eating "no" fat in Phase 1 that's not really true. Meat contains fat, and you can eat plain cream or creme fraiche sauce if you want. As long as you don't mix fat with carbohydrates you're fine.

I eat fat and fibres (you can also eat fibres and carbohydrates - but absolutley NO fat (meat, cream) to that).

I'll write down what you can eat if you want something for an evening snack tomorrow!

Montignac diet

Many people reacted about my Montignac diet.
To tell off the ones saying I'm anorexic - let me explaine:
Many years ago I ate lots of crisps and a bit too much sugar (like in pie/tarts/desserts. Never been a big fan of candy or ice cream), but still homely cooking.

By cutting out the sugar and most of the fast carbohydrates you get headache and feel tired - it's an abstinence result from my body wanting the drug: sugar (also carbohydrates transforms to glucose/blood sugar).

I then developed a painfun gastric catarrh, and was advised to change diet since I ate too much fat.

I started the Montignac diet about 10 years ago and it solved my problem and still let me eat as much as I like without causing me tummy problems. Around friends I'm known to eat humungous amounts of food (but I also poo a lot)! I know it's hard to believe, but according to studies fat people tend to eat less then 3 meals a day - I eat 6.

1. Montignac diet is a lifestyle, not a crash diet.
2. I hate complicated diets. Now I change the potatoes for broccoli and that's it.
3. By eating 6 times a day I never get hungry to the point I'd eat anything in reach.

I have been eating "non-Montignac" - a bit too much cookies and crisps lately (the easter holiday...), so I have not only gained a little weight (about 1½ kilo) but also my gastric problems are occurring again. And instead of eating medine I change my way of eating to a better way. Well, I have to start off by eating a few tabletts to help little tummy get started. Changing diet is to decrease, instead of increase, the gastric problem.

Situps is a must for me since I suffer from backproblems as most tall people, and that my pregnancys killed what was left of it. 100 a day, a few back work outs and a movement to lift the butt (THIS is only for looks - I AM 37 you know....)

I hope "Anonoymous" gets a better picture of me now.
But sure - I like to LOOK anorexic, but being is not healthy - so yes, I hope people who likes to be skinny takes after me and eat healthy, lots and still gets skinny. I think that is a much better idea then to eat orange-jucie dipped cotton to swallow, to make your tummy feel full so you can stop the hunger, as I know many high fashion models do. What those stupid girls don't know is that you have to surgically remove the cotton later. My broccoli, meat and cream sauce goes out the normal way.

I will explain more about the Montignac diet later.
But I like when people are critic and not just accepting, so I welcome those anonymous :)

Montignac diet

Ahh, being back in Phase 1 of the Montignac diet is causing me headache, making me feel weak and dead tired. It's time to get the M'era Luna body of the year!

Montignac breakfast tips:
20 minutes before breakfast eat 1/4 - 1/2 apple/pear.
Do at least 40 situps while waiting ;)
1. Bread without any wheat flour or sweetening (hard bread or dark with fibres), cream cheese, ham and tomatoe (as many as you like to feel full). Drink 3 decilitres of water or weak tea.
OR
2. Scrambled eggs and bacon (nothing else). Water or weak tea.
OR
3. Porridge of extra fibre oatmeal, berries such as: blueberry/strawberry/raspberry or other berry - Burberry ;) ? serve with diluted milk and drink water/weak tea.
