Passed summers <3
This is from 2007 at my parents in laws home.
Ahh, what a lovely day - and what a lovely hair I had! One thing is sure - I will go back to that lovely pink color one day.
The foundation looks so good too! Without being a total narcissist I'm a bit in love with this girl <3 I think I wanna be her again..
Here's a few pictures from me and Porsches winning tour at the Cat Show at Calmare Katt klubb.
He won his CAP and got to be BIS (Best in Show). He was so cool about everything and everyone could see how much he loved the attention and cuddles.
I was most proud of the judge telling me I had done a great job on his presentation (even thow I didn't do much since he already is a beauty). He got exellent on all aspects; head shape, body type, ears, eyes, temper, coat, tail. He IS a perfect example of his race so to speak.
My cute sister with sphynx Ingela and Porsche and me
Both our cats got their certificate AND ws nominated for panel <3
I'm tired like a dog running after cars all day after the cat show.
But we cleaned the arena from contestants and put them at shame ;) Porsche, my wonderful, cuddly, cool and beautiful seal point siamese won both CAP and Best in Show!
I'm so proud. You can find some photos at my facebook. I will put some up here as well, but not just now since the Sandman is very insistent and comes with wheelbarrows of sleeping sand.
Tomorrow (Saturday) I will be attending a cat show with my über cute siamese cat Porsche.
I'm so nervous!
I have brushed him for 2 weeks to make his fur in perfect condition and cutted his razor sharp claws yesterday. That's it really. When you have a short hair it's not so much maintenance.
The worst part have been to keep my lipstick lips of his cute little head the past weeks.
My wonderfully gorgeous sister will also attend the cat show with her sphynx girl Ingela. It would be so cool if we both won!
I'm looking foward to spend the day with her and just talk her ears of :)
Keep your fingers crossed for Porsche.
Yesterday my mother turned 60, so we went by to give her a few gifts and delight her party guests with our revelations :)
I gave it a good thought and figured I'd make a nice gesture and NOT dress in black.
I remembered I had a cute moss-green, short, chiffon cocktail dress somewhere in the attic. Haha, to match my green hair.
But since the attic is a no-mans-land with things from the first decade of humans and clogged with "things that might come in handy" I tried to gently ask my husband to do some digging, but that was a sure dead end and I'd to settle with the only dress with color I had i the flat - a skin-colored chiffon dress that goes by the name "the pig dress".
The wierd thing is I really love this dress, but I probably look to others like a bad version of Miss Piggy in it. Oink, oink.
To top it off I put on a "few" of my jewels. I was teased all evening about not being able to raise my skinny arms with all that metal on. That I could!
My lovely kids outstaged me as usual with their cute outfits
And we were served smörgåstårta/sandwich layer cake and cold buffet. This was my second plate. Yummie!
My mother, Eivor, and me (I pixled her since I'm not sure she wants the attention ;) As you can see she's got some good genes being 60 and having that slim body. (She's not short, I'm wearing heels, she's not)
We gave her some cute gold heart shaped earings as well as a strawberry cutter and a lime chasing tool.
On my way to a new location I got very, VERY hungry.
And can you imagine my luck! Just 50 meters from my car a human walked and by a total coincidence the human just happened to become a road-kill!! What shear luck!
And as I see it, there's no harm in eating something that just went dead?
He tasted a bit of rum so I'm guessing he had a nice night the one before.
Well, with a happy heart I continued my trip to the final destination. I was well greeted and given a nice, red room to rest in.
The evening will be spent with a beautiful girl <3
I must leave town a few days to go hunting for my humans elsewhere. Mostly it's because I'm tired of how the people here tastes and wanna try a different kind of setting and new actors. I think the trip will do me good.
I must leave at dawn.
My fangs already can taste the blood of others and feel another wind in my hair while their hot bodys turns beautifully pale and the body gets colder. I just can't wait!
Question:
The pale bunch of you (wanting to look like a dusty vampire like I); what base, foundation and powder is the best according to you?
I use:
♥ Boots No 7 Beauty Serum (to soften the skin)
I need things for my age, and this reduce my pores and wrinkles. I get a good effect from it.
♥ L'Oréal True Match C1 Rose Ivory mixed with Kryolan Ultra fluid Foundation TV White Art. 9130
or
♥ Kryolan Ultrafoundation TV White 2 (sometimes mixed with TV White). Ultrafoundation can feel a bit thick but it's got the full coverage I like; as do the L'Oréal and Kryolan mix.
♥ IsaDora powder 10 (transparent)
♥ Kryolan Anti-Shine Powder, transparent Art.5705
(♥ Sometimes StarGazer White powder, but I am not super-pleased with it)
I'm always on the lookout for a new, better foundation (although I'm pleased with the ones above).
I like really rich covering foundation with little maintainance during the day. The Kryolan I use only needs a few extra powder puffs during the day to make me look matte.
Bombard me with better base/foundations/powders, please!
Tomorrow is my husbands last day of work and then we'll have vacation!!! So, we thought we should all go out and have ice-cream for dinner tomorrow (we sometimes skips dinner and goes for a huge ice cream instead. It seems like the kids like it ;) ), but we noticed the weather would be shit tomorrow so we went out and got it today instead.
We had marzipan/chocolate, appel/cinnamon, mint/chocolate, vanilla soft ice cream with strawberry ribble and sprinkles today.
Synthia was with a friend and her mum to the beach today, and then her friend followed her home on a play-date :)
Panic! What to do to keep the 4 kids happy and not eating me (mine are aspiring vampires, you know...).
Yeah, I pulled out my safe card - cupcakes. The only thing that makes me somewhat human.
I don't think I've ever published the recipe I use most often? How horrible of me!
This is how the mini cupcakes looks fresh out of the oven. I would serve them with icing sugar on top or my usual frosting and sprinkles (next pic).
This is for a basic swedish muffins (as we call them)/cupcakes.
Hot tips: divide the mixture in two and make 2 different kinds of flavours in one batch (think of me saying it in a peppy Martha Stewart way).
62 g butter, room tempered
1 dl sugar (you can cut down to 0,75 dl)
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla sugar
2,25 dl wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking-powder
0,75 dl milk
+ flavour
zest of ½ a lemon or ½ orange
fruit, berries
1 teaspoon extra of vanilla
spice: cinnamon, caraway
chocolate...
I like to use lemon and straw-/raspberries together.
Beat the butter and sugar senseless until fluffy. Add all other ingredients. Blend it all together with taste of choice. Pour into 24 small cupcake forms or 10 medium sized and put in middle of the oven. Small 6-10 minutes, medium 10-15 minutes.
Wait for a few minutes and then pour icing sugar on top, or let them cool if you're to have frosting on top (for this I recommed baking them one day in advance).
While they are in the oven you have time enough to make the frosting.
And NO - they are not for you if you are a Phase 1 in the Montignac Method ;/ *sorry* but Phase 2'ers can enjoy one 3 hours after the last meal - or you serve them to fatten up your friends to make yourself look thinner *mo-ha-ha-haaa*
What memories! Late 90's I believe.
Me and my pretty protégé Emanuel (I called him "Janet").
Oh, how I loved hanging with him, the best shopping partner and make up friend a girl could ever have. He saved my husband many boring shopping sprees ;)
He was one of the top 10 prettiest boys ever created (and I created him ;) )...even though he's not wearing make up anymore he still looks fine, but when he did he was flawless. No, he's not gay, no, he's not single either *sorry*
Thank's for the happy memories, Janet <3
I'll see if I have more pics of him...this was unfortunately before the digital era so everything is on paper copys... This picture is from his early days, he got soooo much better at doing make up.
Made mummy proud!
Here's an extra.
Never in my life have I been afraid of cows, but when I read of the cow Chilli:
"Chilli the giant bullock stands at 6ft 6ins and weighs well over a ton.
Despite his grand stature, Chilli only grazes on grass during the day and enjoys the occasional swede as a treat."
Wtf?! He eat swedes?! Now that's one scary cow!
And further more - are there available swedes to eat? Where?!
(and yes I know it's also the name of a turnip)
The Swedish Midsummer's Eve is one of our big traditions, just as big as Christmas.
Most people celebrate the same way, with very few exceptions.
This is how we celebrated this year:
Meet up with good friends and theirs and ours kids at a summer house.
Start by eating a traditional Midsummer lunch:
different kinds of pickled herring
soused herring
boiled eggs
radish
small early potatoes with their skin on, boiled with lots of dill
sour cream with cut chives in it
raw spiced/cold-smoked salmon
fennel/anise spiced schnapps
Before every schnapps we sing a happy schnapps-song from a home made song book. In our case we always starts of by singing the Swedish anthem to bless the food, then it's down hill with songs from the gutter ;)
(many eat hot dishes like Janson's temptation, meatballs, prince sausages, mushroom omelette too. We always saves that for the next day).
After lunch it's time for stawberries with lightly whipped cream (and in my case - a ton of sugar. I find them so sour!).
Then we're off to dance around the Midsummer's pole/Maypole together with about 200-300 other Midsummer celebrating people of that area.
The pole is decorated with birch leaves and flowers and represents a HUGE penis to fertilize the soil in order to get a good crop. It's from the old days.
Then back to the summer house where we eat strawberry cake and drink coffee.
After it's crisps and candy time, and later we have barbecued meat served with potatoe salad.
I always force my <3 to have daisies in the hair on Midsummers Eve
Sometimes we have a quiz-walk or some other competition or game planned before lunch.
The kitchen area where I prepare all my slaughtered people I've "found" outside cute little cupcakes and pies is in need of some storing.
We never eat in the kitchen (dear God, we are not savages!) so we're gonna make it a kind of kitchen bench.
Before
We used 3 frames from a wall kitchen top cabinets size 40x40x70 (IKEA) and put on high gloss white doors on two of them. The one in the corner will remain open and turned to the side. Between the frames we have a slide rail (right now we just tried it out with 2 towels).
On top we have bought a vintage wooden lamina to put on. We just have to take it to the lumber-yard to get it cut in size. And that might take a week..
Halfway though
I think it will be very nice once it's done. The best thing of it all is I can now fit my kitchen aid inside the cabinet. Redecorating is so FUN! And the bench itself will be long enough to have a dead, full grown human on it...just saying...
My husband scored some rhubarbs from someone at work.
The best thing about rhubarb pie is that it's just so goth. Is harsh, stern, bitter as well as wonderful and pretty.
The worst thing about rhurbarbs is that it needs a ton of sugar before it's perfect (quite similar to me and a ton of make up). And since I prefer to eat according to Montignac this must be the least best thing for me to eat.
But I will suffer for rhurbarb crumble pie anyday. I like to suffer that way. Suffering is part of being goth, and this is the weapon of my choice.
Crumble pie 6-8 guests converter
For best taste; serve lukewarm. Let pie cool for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
fruit of choice (preferably something you don't need to add sugar too)
112 gram butter, room temperature 3 dl wheat flour 2-3 table spoons of sugar (a dash of cinnamon)
Put the chopped and well stabbed fruits in a cute little pre-buttered pie tin.
Mix all other ingredients until you have nice crumbles (the more you work it the bigger the crumbles). Bury the fruit with the crumbles. Put in a 200 degree Celsius hot oven for approx. 15-20 minutes.
Let set for 15-20 minutes at room temperature before serving.
Add some icing sugar on top (I forgot).
Serve with lightly whipped cream (whip 2 dl cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar).
Now you have got yourself a typhical swedish crumble pie.
I use this recipe mostly for apple pie, but it works with anything. Best thing is that it is really good and doesn't contain that much sugar. To make it even more Montignac you can use sifted rye-flour instead of wheat flour. It gives the pie a bit more nut-ish flavour.
Yesterdays Midsummer party was super! We had such a warm weather with a sun that almost fried the skin of my body.
I'll put up pictures tomorrow :) But for now I found this old picture of me from 2006.
I liked the make up a lot. Think I will do that again some day.
Tomorrow I will celebrate Midsummer together with my good friends and a whole lot of kids :)
There will be no M'era Luna-partying for me...just 1schnapps with the herring and water rest of the day.
I'm mostly looking foward to meet with the people and and laugh and have a good time, as well as eating classical swedish Midsummer food.
Here's a few shots of last years Midsummer. The kids wouldn't join in the big group of dancers so we made our own little dance group. Here we are singing and dancing to "Vi äro musikanter"
On our way back to the summer house we spotted this wonderful goth calf! He's got his best goth make up on! He's just perfect with white foundation and black around his eyes and black lips. Coolest cow ever!
