Todays outfit

Being a bit casual, in a long sleeved t-shirt with a kitten saying "Born to be Bad".
What can I say? I like to scare people *haha*
I have leggings with spangles and over them I wear a girdle. Shoes are Demonia, with a pink star on.

M'era Luna festival 2011 - pic's by others

I'm so thankful for all the pictures sent to me by others, here are the ones I've seen so far.

Many people might not know, but me and my sister are moonlighting as Guardian Angles from time to time,

currently I'm Hanna's.

 -How did you end up dead?
-Yeah, it's such a funny story! I almost can't tell it without breaking down!

 -On my way home from a chess game I bought me a piece of Brie, and as I was thinking about the sadness that it would soon end I stumbled over a shopping cart, and by accident I didn't pick up my Brie but a Lüger..

 -..so then all of a sudden there was a gun in my hand and I didn't know what to do with it, so out of the blue I just happened to shoot myself, like this.
I could just have thrown it away, but I was so surprized!
Imagine what it would have been like if I shot myself with the cheese instead. I'd still be alive, just a bit smelly.
It's easy to be afterwise..

 -Many people think I did this just because I'm blonde, but it's not true. I did it because I was stupid.

M'era Luna festival 2011 - Day 1, part 4

We went to the joy and the jolly of the festival.
My husband was careful with his pale skin and had an umbrella to protect him.

me and my good friend Colin

 Me and band photographer friend Dani

 My lovely friend Sinja. Be amazed - she made that wonderful outfit herself!
I'm just drinking juice people. Juice!

 Ronny, Hanna, me and two chockingly beautiful girls; Mari and Linda

My pretty, pretty friend Hanna sharing some love

 This can possibly be the cutest couple ever spotted, especially the left person <3

 Me and and my sister Jenni (Iva Insane) and one of our favourite Italians; Ryan.

Saying goodbye to wonderful Hanna for the evening.

 Like a scared deer (or dear, if you whish) at X-tra-x.

 I'm looking a bit like a zombie when hooking up with the fun and sweet Monaco, head of X-tra-x.

 And to top it off, a ghostly picture of the Wimmerstedt sisters <3

I still have some pictures photographed by others from Day 1 left before entering Day 2.

My Music Mondays: Alphaville

Many times one can say I've been re-born.
One time was when I discovered electro music.

1984, I was 11 years old and was not yet allowed to wear make up
;( when my mom bought this record to herself of a german band named Alphaville. Very quickly that record decided to move to my room instead and was frequently played in my Ferguson speakers.

I remember the first time ever seeing the video for the song Forever Young, it made me feel so sad, and wonderful at the same time. This was pure. Marian Gold (real name Hartwig Schierbaum) had an incredible voice filled with teenage angst. I still hold this album "Forever Young" as one of my favourite albums of all time.

Unfortunately I never had the chance seeing them live at their prime (when they were fantastic according to friends), but just some 10 years ago I had the chance and sadly enough it was a BIG disappointment.

You heard his wonderful voice before seeing them, then a HUGE man with a slight beard emerged from the shadows. The crowd went wild.
I did not.

I was SURE this was just some phrank they played us, having some "fake" Marian standing in front as the real one was the voice I heard and that he'd appear from behind in just a second and we would all laugh. But...no. I was looking at the right person.
The voice was almost like it used to be, but they had changed every version to some kind of reggie.
I was devastated.

But only last year I had a chance of seeing them again - and am I glad I did! It was fantastic!
He was a bit druggie people said, so the tour had been filled with crazy things; him spitting at the audince, yelling at them from stage acting out and so on, but I guess he mixed his drugs right this evening because he was like a AD/HD child, jumping up and down, being very funny as humble.
The singing was great and I was REALLY happy when I left.
I doubt I will ever see them live again because I'm scared he'd fail that time and leave me with another bad memory.
Very disturbing to see such a star on drugs though.
Marian has got one of the best voices I have ever heard, and I admire him very much.
Apparently he's having a child with a swedish girl. Is it me?

M'era Luna festival 2011 - Day 1, part 3

Halfway through make up and outfit for Day 1 I just had to freak out a little and dance away in my cool slippers.

Then I had to drink some horrible drink to keep up appearances

(as you might see I tried on another bangs at first, but then I made a similar as my sister did. Apparently I looked like a manga character and they all laughed at me).

Hey camera, look at my pretty sister! Isn't she a doll?!

(White screen lenses in.)

the next drink was easier and more consensual.

Filling up the bag with alcohol, alcohol and some sunscreen.

and then we were ready to take a stroll to the festival.

(my husband really do look like a pygme between us, but he is 186 cm..)

I'm guessing there will have to be a part 4! But tomorrow is My Music Monday :)

Friday Special: Iva Insane

Hi there!
Today it's me, Jenni, the youngest one of the sisters that got the honour to write a post here in Adora's blog.

The plan is that I will write a blog-post here every Friday, and if you feel like you can't wait until next friday for next post you'll find out what I'm doing the rest of the week at : http://www.ivainsane.wordpress.com/

From now on I will switch my nickname "Cienwen Noor" to... *snaredrum*.... Iva Insane! (It's easier to remember, and a lot better, don't you think?) Actually, my middle name is "Iva", and I've always loved that so much! (Thanks mum & dad <3)

In honour of the day I want to dedicate this text to a person you may aldready know!?

She has vampire-teeths, making gorgeous cupcakes, is a great inspiration to a lot of people all over the world.... Yeah! You got it right! My sister, Adora BatBrat of course!
Adora and I have never grown up together. Partly because the difference in age, but also because we're half-sisters and just have the same dad.
My sister has always been a great source of inspiration to me, and I remember how fun and exiting it was for me as a kid to take the train to her over the weekend. She used to "force" me to listen to her kind of music, fix my hair and make up, do some shopping together with me (I was just permitted to buy black clothes of course), and eating apple-pie with vanilla ice-cream at a café were we could sit near the window and look down at the people on the streets.
When I grown a little older (and my feets no longer was to small), she let me borrow her pretty Dr. martens boots when I was there for visit. I can still remember how beautiful I felt like when I was wearing those shoes <3

She settled in as my "babysitter" when I, as a 14-year old little girl, wanted to go to electro-goth clubs to check out handsome guys with black hair and undercuts *drool*
In the summer 2007 she took me to my first music-festival ever- M'era Luna, and ever since then we've been visiting the festival every year. It's like a "sister-thing-weekend" for me!

It's Adora who is the "pushing" person when it comes to trips we want to make or parties we wanna go to. Whitout her I would probably been sitting on my chair and rotted.

I must say that Me and Adora are very close to each other and have a great sis-relationship.
I can always count on her and call her whenever i feel sad, happy, need some advice or.....whatever! <3
She'll never get mad at me (at least not so I notice it) and has a great patience!
She's one of the few persons I would sacrifice my life for, the one that can make me laugh until i burst in to tears, a wounderful mother to three sweet kids and she's so creative and arty that it makes everyone amazed!

I could make this list to a "never ending story" but I think I will stop here and finish my blog-post with:

I LOVE YOU SIS<3

*********************************************************************************
Adora here.
...I'm speachless...
My heart just bursted over with love <3
Thank you so much for your kind words, sis.
Jenni is, as you noticed, just as wonderful and pretty on the inside as she is on the outside. And that means
I'm more like a pretty shell with a nasty and wicked inside.
But Jenni and I share the same feature; Insanity, so her new name, Iva Insane, is very accurate ;)

I'm very proud to be Jenni's sister, and I love how we both are so mutual even if we didn't grow up together.
My favorite every year is to walk with her beautiful self next to me when we go to M'era Luna.
I love you too <3 <3 <3

I'm so happy she wanted to join me here, and I hope many of you are pleased to know you now can tap in to her life too :)

BIG outing tomorrow!

Tomorrow: new feature in this blog. INSANE!

-What kind of spaced out music do you listen to, you crazy woman?
-Well, Adora said, I will add the feature My Music Mondays (on Monday), to let you in on that wicked electro music that makes me go robot and feel so pink and bubbly inside. Zip schwoosh pazzajjj

I have a few more things I should add as a "weekly". I need some more structure! *Pounds my perfectly shaped forhead*. No, no, NOO - NEVER hurt yourself! We looove ourselves, and go out and kill randomly instead, just as most people think of us goths. Never disappoint a persons opinion. We must continue our reputation.

I'm very grateful for tips on what special features you'd like to see on a weekly basis. Otherwise I will just keep on rambling on forever about me, me, me, my vampire skills, cupcakes one second and to eat nutritious food the next, my kids and how I love glitter, smiling and make up...

...and oh - don't forget to take out your Friday glass tomorrow <3

My tattoo's: No 1, Blue butterfly

At the age of 12 I decided to tattoo a butterfly when I was allowed (we have an 18 years restriction in Sweden).
Remember, as I vampire, I have lived many decades before you and are sprung from another time.

When I was young, and not yet a vampire, only sailors and hookers had tattoo's. There were only 3-4 tattoo studios in all of Sweden and no piercing studios to be found..only for earrings. It was a tough time to be alternative...

-Mum, can I get a tattoo or have my nose pierced?
-If you MUST, get a piercing, at least it can be removed. *As if*

And, oh yes, I was (am) a big fan of Cicciolina's look by the time... I think I pulled it off quite good.

So me and my friend T went to an ear piercing studion and we convinced them to shoot us in the nose with their little gun. Worked out like a charm! Finally, my quest to look as beautiful as an India women could begin.
And then at 18 I travelled all the way to Malmö and hook up with Kenneth Fong, a cool Asian tattooist famous in Sweden (now dead).
I got my little blue butterfly on my upper left arm I decided on as a 12 year old (which is the age when I went alternative). It costed 120 SEK/$18.
When I came back to school it was the talk of the year. I was the ONLY one in a school with 900 students with a tattoo! I guess it's not like that any more.
Now I was wierd for real.
I hide it from my mum 1-2 years. Grandma thought it was cute <3

Nowadays a butterfly is a bit nerdy I guess, but for me it's the dreams of a 12 year old girl that is put there. I like the way she used to think.
Although I now have a bigger tattoo attached to it, I never want to cover it.
And that''s my butterfly story <3

Todays outfit

My computer is treating me with no respect lately and makes me sit and wait until she's ready to do whatever. Such a bitch.

I love how sweet people are, and how they understand my fascination for cool gothic items.
