Strawberry time


After a hard day at mum-work I get my reward; strawberries and whipped cream (and a ton of sugar since I always find those red things too sour).

Killing at the zoo fits my shoe

Family packed in the SAAB 95 Aero Sport Combi and are rolling to Öland, and the animal/ amusement park there.
A full day of annoying fun, uber-cute animals, grandma Birgit 's sausage and potato salad in the bag and well behaved kids as a big ice cream spender for a husband makes it perfect.
I, of course, would rather stayed inside in my batcave all day, perhaps read about business economy or continue on my book for kids.
Fun?! Humbug!
My fun reference is not doing amusement things, but lately there have been people in Sweden eaten by both wolves and tigers in zoo's so I might be in luck and be presented with something more up my alley!

Noxhyde photo shoot

Foto shoot done, now I'll go shop some jewelry :)
70% off is my language!

Make up in progress

Now I'm almost there but I'm gonna take a break to do my mental training and then eat something before it's shoot time.
I hope Noxhyde will be pleased by the pictures :)

Make up in process


I'm doing a shoot for Noxhyde today, with the lovely cat ears from the designer.
The weather is perfect. Just crossing my fingers it won't start raining before I'm done prepping myself for the shoot.
This is the work in progress....

Adora App

Try not to faint now - but for about a week I've had a NEW goth make up tutorial uploaded at my youtube account, but not published yet!

I'm trying to make an App to go with this video, and tomorrow it seems I will have it done and will be able to publish the goth make up tutorial as well.
Here is the App icon:
The thing with the video is you will almost see Adora without make up!
I will have to kill you after you've watched it of course, so it's up to you too decide if it's worth it.
Don't say I didn't warn you!

Modelling: Goth make up from Photo shoot

I had a photo shoot Wednesday.
As I arrived to Kalmar, where the shooting should take place, I ended up on one parkinglot and the photographer on another. I turned my car around to go where she was, and when I arrived there I got a text she was on her way to my recent parkinglot...
This was a dance noone could win. 
In an attempt to merge finally I told the photographer to stay put and I would go where she was so we finally could meet. Little did I know it would be 1 hour and 15 minutes until we met...

 I arrived at the right place, outside the right store we agreed on and either I had gone completely blind or she was transparent.
I called her on the phone: "-I'm outside the store now, where are you?"
She said she was right outside the store.
Did I step on her? Was she the same color as the doors? Was she joking with me, playing hide and seek without telling me there was a game going on? Parallel universe?
Finally my master mind did an Agatha Christie on me and said:
"-Are we in the same town?"
And there it was, simple as that. No, we weren't.... Photographer then drove from Karlskrona (my current home town) to Kalmar and the shooting could begin.










Can't wait to see the pics, she was so great!
Here she is: Sophia

Surveillance on Adora BatBrat

I often have a feeling that I'm on the Truman show, but Adora BatBrat show instead. Well, not just a feeling - it's the true.
There actually is a syndrome named after that movie.
But I, of course, are being under surveillance secretive for real. They keep me in oblivion, but sometimes they slip and I'm closing in on them.
Today I found the camera following me on IKEA.
Two seconds after I took this picture two "electric workers" picked it down and mumbled it was something wrong with the wires.
Yeah, right!

I'm a pimp

...or should it be a pimper?

I love to Glam things up; my Barbies as a child, my own clothes as a teen, my boyfriends at the lawful age....
Now I noticed the kids sun hats a bit overly washed so I couldn't let them look so sad :(
As an attempt to make them happy once more I gripped my varnish glue, printed some stuff and digged up glitter and the kids got so happy!
(the hats too. I'm a good pimp)

BatBrat idea: neckbelt


I have a few cool necklaces that's a bit too long to be a favorite because I would like them shorter around my neck and are too lazy to shorten them so I end up with a safety pin in the back and that doesn't look that UCG.
But since the happy 80's when personal creativity exploed we wore our necklaces as "belts" and I have continued using this lovely idea.
Mostly I have had crosses, but since I've got a nice blood necklace I might as well use it.
Clever, right?!
I'm so smart, I'm so clever!

TeeBee did it!


Leaving your kids at their grandpa one night is the best trick to make them learn how to bike.
I missed TB an awful lot yesterday but I was so pleased to see grandpa's work gave fruit!



He can now ride his bike without support and grandpa deserves a nice rest after all that running.
I gave him comfort though by saying it was the last BatBrat kid he'd have to teach to bike since we will not have more kids.
He looked relaxed when hearing that :)

Todays Goth look



After a day at an outdoor market and then dinner at my in-laws and going home without my TeeBee I'm beaten...
Why I left my beloved prince at his grandparents?
Well, it's grandpa's job to learn the kids how to ride a bike, and now it's TeeBee's turn :)
How I'm gonna miss looking at him asleep and cuddle him in the morning. But tomorrow we'll bring him back - and hopefully he can ride his bike without support.
Work hard, grandpa!

Today's Goth make up

We are on our way to a outdoor market called "Tosiga bonnadan" = Crazy farmers day. Sun is up so umbrella and sunblock is packed.

Video of Adora BatBrat's view

Everyday I have movie-like action going on from my balcony. It's very exciting!
(This is a "secret" video and can't be found via youtube search)

My goth make up

I have no idea when this is from, but it failed to be published so I'm giving it a new try :)

Billboard

A week after I was in the paper I recieved a huge poster with me on; apparently I was on the billboards the Saurday the paper came out.
I'm so happy I was away in another town that whole day so I didn't know about it until a week later. Can you imagine going out on town seeing this HUGE billboard of your face all over town? Far away from subtle...even though I'm cool with myself, I'm only that cool about myself in my goth environment!

Since neither me, or my husband, knew about my billboard action I wanted to shock him so I hang it on our front door just minutes before he arrived.
Not a word!? 
I had to ask him if he really missed seeing that HUGE poster of me?! 
He just stood quiet...then he wondered why I had put up the interview of me on our front door? Gah, stupid (but, oh so cute)! I had to explain it was not the paper but a billboard from Saturday. He looked even more confused and ran to the door to see if it was true - then he laughed so hard, me as well! So crazy!

Duck tea


Although I'm a true carnivore I have never tried animal tea, and as I saw this rubber duck tea dispenser I just had to have it to be able to say I have duck tea for breakfast!

This is so "me"!
I bought it at Lagerhaus for 49 SEK.
