Nail art

I just ordered me some Stamping Nail Art :) It was not a Konad, but I hope it will do the trick anyway.
Now I will only have to find me some of those skull, lace, dot, bat and spider plates and I'm home free :)
Image plate: Konad IP M01-Spider
Bundle Monster plate BM13
Cute! Don't know the plate though *sorry*
Image plate M71
It is very important to have beautiful nails.
Especially when you, like me, sometimes rip peoples hearts out by hand and then show it to them before they die. You want them to have a nice memory, with beautiful nails holding their heart. You don't want them to die thinking "Man, she's got some ugly, crap looking nails." It's for the little people I do it ;)

Old picture of the day

Here are a few pictures from 2000. I had 1920's make up that day and decided to make it last forever. I think the pictures are so cute, even if the quality leaves much to wish for..
This tiara was a gift from my thoughtful husband <3
(What I don't tell you is that this is actual pictures from 1920's.
I really AM a vampire you see..)

Chocolate Pie and earrings

Me and Fairlight took a stroll on town today. Her birthday is coming up and she had to tell me what she wanted.
We also had my parents in law over for dinner tonight. We had a very nice time.
Here's on our way out. I look like Gigantor next to her!
 Do you mind me tiing my dotted bow?
 Me and my husband baked a chocolate pie for dessert.
It was pure love in my mouth.
 Today my husband bought me those fantastic glamourous earrings I'm wearing. He sure knows how to treat his wife! I love glitter (and him)!
Chocolate Love Pie  12 pieces converter
(Notice: The cake must set for at least 3 hours after it's been baked)
150 g milk chocolate (I used IKEA's)
150 g butter
2½ dl sugar (I'm sure you can use less)
3 eggs
2½ dl wheat flour

200 degree Celsius in the oven.
Put a baking paper at the bottom of an openable baking tin.
Stab the chocolate multiple times, like you would on a heart.
Melt the butter and pour it over the chocolate to make it really dead. Stir.
Put in the deadly ingredient: sugar (and that is NO joke).
Crack the eggs to it and enjoy the sound of a crushing head while doing it.
Shove down the flour and stir the mixture violently intill it's helpless and accommondative.
Pour to the pan, put it in the middle of the oven (be aware - burned chocolate taste awful) for about 15-20 minutes.
Then let set for at least 3 hours before eating the damn thing. I put it on my balcony where I had 10 degrees today (there you got a free weather report from Sweden).

Serve with:
powdered sugar, raspberries and lightly whipped cream

I thought it would taste like pure sugar, but I was wrong. It was soooo good and I really recommend it!

Good Friday

Right now I'm having hot chocolate and are eating the peanut cookies I baked together with TeeBee.
They turned out very good and tasted yummy (a bit too sweet), but in the picture they should be flat, and ours were not. I think we had a tad to much flour. I think I will add them in my permanent recipe book, at least until I find a better peanut cookie recipe. My last was with cocoa and chopped chocolate added, but they were a bit boring in taste.
I can always half dip these or wriggle dark chocolate on them to make them better.
I wish they were a bit more beautiful though, I want my cookies to look pretty. But they score 4p out of 5 in the peanut cookie category.

You want my Pee-nuts?  (10 big or 20 small)
100 gram butter
1 dl sugar
1 dl oatmeal
1 dl chopped salted peanuts
1,5 dl wheat flour
½ teaspoon baking soda

Oven 200 degrees Celsius.
Mix room temperatured butter with sugar until it's fluffy.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Roll them to about 10 bolls (or 20 for smaller), put the bolls on a baking plate and bake them for about 10-15 minutes.
We made 10 big cookies - and they were heavy-duty cookies. I could only have one and then I was full!
Don't try this at home unless you wanna gain weight.

I stole my sisters look

Who am I?
1986 a band, Berlin, had an amazing hit with Take my breath away.
But that's not interesting at all.
Singer Terri Nunn had a hairdo I could not forget. At the time I had bleached hair (I was 14), short in the sides and about 8 cm on top, like a boy with heavy make up (that was the look of the era).
Desicion: When I have longer hair I will cut bangs and have it with a black border, just as she had.
Problem: I had a cowlick at my bangs, and the only way I knew how to keep it in place was up (I have solved that problem now).
I did grow some longer hair, just as Terri at this picture, but I only had it white with black border at the tips, no bangs. I admit, my cowlick made me scared.
New desicion: When I'm pregnant with my first child I will cut my bangs. And I've had bangs ever since. LOVE it.

But before I cut my bangs (get a grip now Adora, you are just rambling about), when my baby sister was 12 (year 1999) she asked if I could do something with her hair, and before she had a second to think about it I cutted her a pretty, little bang, added a blue border to it - and my sister was re-born! I can just remember how much she liked her new look, and I can only remeber how I though - now I've goth her to the dark side! Ever since, that's kind of been my sisters trade mark. But now I had to borrow her bangs for the week (it's under secret circumstances), but it feels wierd every time I look in the mirror.

My weekend

A job offer and I packed my bags for a 7 hour train trip. A big, fat Fuji apple kept me company...at least for a while...*evil grin*
After eating my apple (and half of the other travellers, who took another travel - to my stomach) I arrived to Västerås safe and refreshed.
 As I went to bed I thought "Hmm, I wonder if I can fall asleep while away from my herd?" - and then it was morning!
Woke up looking fantastic (don't we always? As you might have guessed I have my lie-glasses on), added some make up and transformed to amazing. Had my hair done and looked like a true star. I was so beautiful, the mirror loved me and I had a fantastic time....until all the beautiful hairdo and clothes was removed, and I looked like a plain Jane again..crap!
I did a secret modelling that can't be shown until June. If I tell you, I have to kill you, and that will be such much work considering you all live in different countries, and it will sure burst my budget. So I'd better shut up about it.. But it was beautiful, and I can only hope I did the style and the photographer justice.

Photo with Pilerud

Today I'll be on a train half of the day to go to talented photographer Mr Pilerud in Västerås. Tomorrow we'll do a shoot. I can only hope I can be half as good a model as he is a photographer.
If I do look a bit chubby on the pictures it's because I'm pregnant by TeeBee at the time.
This was a shoot for a former London designer, Ruby Rouge.
Here's the session we had in 2006



 This one even been a tattoo on someone :)
He is of course also behind the most known swedish electro band (besides Covenant), Elegant Machinery's fantastic videos (where I did the make up):
He did one for Covenant as well:

Crane Day, Waffle Day and air insemination.

Today, on the 25'th of March is the day Jesus mum Mary got notice from the archangel Gabriel that she was pregnant with the little fellow later known as Jesus. Apparently she air-fucked or something and it became a child. Makes you think twise before you do nasty things with yourself... (I beg your pardon about my horrible language, but I could not find any nice way to put it)



But it's also the Crane Day (a local tradition from my hometown). Read more about it here on an earlier blog post. It has nothing to do with cool vampire things, but it involves pain.
And if that's not enough - it's also the waffle day. I think 97% of all swedes eats waffles today.
Wiki explains it so good:
Waffle Day is a tradition that is celebrated in Sweden, and to a lesser extent elsewhere, on March 25. Waffles are typically eaten on this day. The name comes from Vårfrudagen ("Our Lady's Day"), which in vernacular Swedish sounds almost like Våffeldagen (waffle day). Our Lady's Day is celebrated on March 25 (nine months before Christmas), the Christian holiday of Annunciation, and the Waffle Day is hence celebrated on the same day although it has no religious connections to Our Lady's Day.
Here's the recipe I use for 8 waffles:
3,5 dl flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
2 dl milk
2,5 dl carboned water
100 g butter
0,75 teaspoon salt

Melt the butter, let cool off a bit.
Mix all dry ingredients, add the milk and some of the water. Stir it well.
Add the rest of the water and the melted butter.
Let set for at least 20 minutes (or preferably 2-3 hours).
Bake them in a swedish waffle iron (thin 5 heart waffles). Put on a grid.
Eat with homemade jam and lightly whipped cream :P

Labels to be ordered

I'm ordering labels for the BatBrat clothes. Perhaps I should have worked on the label some more but I chose to go for the one I already have. Perhaps I make a cute one further on..
BatBrat logo
I really like Bibian Blue's logo. It's cute
and those cupcake people always have the cutest
I want the one I have, but a more swirly one too..but it still have to say "goth" and not cheerleader.
