Synthia and me

I had a business meeting today with people who know lots about the import business that will be part of my webshop. It was a very good meeting, and I feel even happier than to begin with. My rate is now up to 143 percent!

This is when I just fetched Synthia from school.

Then Fairlight wanted to bake strawberry cupcakes for afternoon break. They were very yummy!



Todays outfit

We had a parental meeting tonight, and this is how I looked:

I know, I know...too little make up and a booring hairstyle.
Perhaps 4 times a year I wear this little make up. But isn't it true; when you are used to be wearing lots of make up and always looks your best every single day, you always have one day when you are not the best you and that is always the day you end up meeting lots of cool people/the hottest boy/your enemy. It's so typical! And then you feel ashamed because then they might think you always look this shabby..

At least I had a fantastic bang-day! Wow, it looks amazing!

And yes, I used shine spray on it.

I was in luck and managed not to meet cool people/hot boy (set aside my husband)/enemy...but I can assure you I felt ashamed all day long. I better make it up by looking more "me" tomorrow.

I was on Spanish TV!

Yesterday I got this on my Facebook from Maria A.
"Hi Adora! today at about 21h you appeared on my tv in news! It was something about gothic lolitas, they showed a bit of one of yours youtube makeup tutorials! I was looking for a link to show you, but I can't find it, maybe because it's too recent. It was on telecinco channel (Spanish tv)"

That is just super cool! I would really love to get my hands on that clip!
Thank you Spain!

Modelling pictures for The House of Wade Lee

This is a set of 4. So this is the first 1/4'th; The Cotton Candy shoot.
I'm wearing a sweet pink Hello Kitty bow. I really liked this one, very cute. I especially love the dots. The shoot was for The House of Wade Lee.

Pretty in Pink

Here's some pictures from when we were going to see The Cure in Stockholm 2008.

I don't normally drink beer, but this was clearly an emergency!

.....because I was under threat from Count Cap

..who then CAP-tured my heart!

Hello, baby!

Today I said welcome to the world to Enya (dad is famous by his electro band Colony 5). She's now 10 weeks old and look - she even gave me a smile <3 (and I who was about to eat her pink, warm, little body. That saved her....for now...) She and I are now totally buddies, we even called each other before to color match as you can see!

Fantastic chocolate cake made us this happy

My husband gave me a mug

I'm such a bad goth. I, of course, love spiders (NOT live though), web, bats, blood, vampires, ghosts and skeletons...BUT I also have a "grandma-gene", it's probably the same that makes me somewhat like the horrendous shabby chic style...it also makes me a fan of romantic tomfoolery, such as the Danish design GreenGate.

I'm totally ambivalent between the dark and the flamboyant and flaunty styles. I'm also like a crow and can't keep my paws off glitz and sparkly things - I'm no good poster-girl for the goth community. I beg for forgiveness..

Aaaaaany who, I told my husband I have finally found a new coffee/tea cup that I liked but I thought it was a bit too expensive as well as unnecessary (I've been looking for a while) and can you imagine - today he bought it to me <3 It's Green Gate's Mille White.

The premiere drink; Irish Coffee

Todays outfit

Netting shirt and corset-top from the Swedish E-bay: "Tradera". Black skirt and red gloves from Lindex (skirt from kids wear) and white skirt from H&M kids wear.

Stockings from grocery store and Demonia shoes.

Cupcake time

Mmm, TeeBee helped me bake the cupcakes today. We made lemon and raisins cupcakes.

Frosting for 6 cupcakes: converter
20 g butter
35 g Philadelphia cheese
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
1/3 teaspoon of vanilla sugar
1,6 dl icing sugar
(caramel color; beetroot extract for example)
Blend it with a fork or a beater. Decorate. Store in refrigerator when you've added the frosting.

Friday, people!

It's FRIDAY!!! And here I am with my Friday-glass! As you can see I'm currently in Paris ;)

What's in store today?
I'm gonna bake something for the kids efternoon break, most likely I will be lazy and make cupcakes, then for dinner it will be tenderloin (of human of course) with red wine sauce (type A negative with a dash of Crianza) and béarnaise sauce served with grilled veggies (brutally slaughtered).
Then I'll take a stroll down town to buy something for a baby named Enya who we are going to visit tomorrow, Her dad is Magnus of Swedish electro band Colony 5 .

Happy Friday to everyone!

Me want!

I'm so in love right now! The white plate with the simple skull in the middle is so magnificent! I'm thinking appelpie and home made vanilla ice cream when I see it...or perhaps an appetizer with spinach, smoked salmon and feta cheese tartlet with pine nuts...

Can be bought here for $39.80

And this is just so luxurious! I couldn't eat anything but tenderloin with a red wine sause added a hint of thyme on it.

Read about it here. It costs horrendous £21!!!

And this would look fine with a slice (or two) of cinnamon cheesecake with lime glaze

Can be bought here for $7.

Perhaps it's time to get started on my Christmas wish list already...

Pretty me

Found some other old pictures of me. They are all from different concerts. About 2001 (29 years old will that make me on those shoots - haha, and I thought I was like 23 here...)

Holy macarony - I really had my boobs out back then!
I will make it one of my new years resolution; to put them out there more.

 How cute, you can see my dimple on my cheek <3

Don't tell anyone - but I'm actually at a toilet peeing while my friend took this shoot. I of course had to cut out the lower half of the picture ;) Silly us, with all our toilet-shoots...



Pretty me

I just stumbled over this super-old picture of me. I was 22 I think (1994).
Awww, I really like the style I had back then. So cute! And with my princess crowns as usual <3
(sorry about the nipples showing, but I am Swedish *haha*)
I hope there's nothing wrong in liking an old picture of oneself?

I'm at Perez Hilton

Sweet people at Facebook told me I'm on Perez Hilton apperently?
I think I scared him bad!
I can sure see it's american people commenting since they are so rude and narrow minded. There is miles between our societys (now I'm not talking about the wonderful goths or other alternatives in USA, but "normal" people). I'm very happy to live in a country that is more openminded.
(I'm sorry about that comment, I know there are lots of wonderful open minded "normal" people in America too. But when I say "normal" I usually talk about those who think they are the norm and can't accept anything else.)
But I laughed at many comments :)

Guests today

Today my dad and my extra mom came for a visit. Me and mom Beda went out on town to shop and went back just in time for dinner. A very smart decision!

When they first arrived we had some tiramisú

 the kids had one without alcohol of course

Then we had lemon and honey marinated salmon and shrimps with basil, potatoe gratin and bean and ruccola salad with avocado, leek and dijon for dinner (forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry). My dad ate so much his tummy hurted!

And before they left we had to eat some semlor (filled cardemom buns) and negro balls (it's actually called that. "Negerbollar" in Swedish).

Porsche wanted semlor too....

Sneak-peak on shop item

I'm so happy - I found totally "me" stockings today. I have ordered them in for the webshop. I have other spiderweb stockings myself, but these are so much better. I'm having so much fun!

Ordering Chinese tonight

I've started to order some things to the webshop. Since my own designs are a bit late in production I might just fill it up with other things while waiting.
The shop will only be filled with typhical things I usually wear since many people have asked me where I buy my stuff. The things are not übercool and odd, but sweet I think.

I'm ordering small amounts of every item (5-11). So far I'm in love with all the stuff I've ordered. I think my wardrobe will be filled as well, and my wallet the complete opposite..

A thypical Adora-skirt

I need those!

I've been looking for some cute 14-eye boots with a heavy, flat plateu, and I think I just found my next shoe for the goth collection hanging around just inside my door ready to kick any old fart wearing no make up. Problem is I don't know what brand this is. Anybody?

For me to stomp around in

They will look great with this make up

Hmmm, maybe not.. This is by far too little make up for me. I still think I look really pretty like this, but holy macaony, I look almost "normal". I went for a sweet 1920's look for this picture, and I think I pulled it off, but in real life I seldom wear it like this. Perhaps if I have extremely lack of time then...
I was pregnant at the time, so perhaps inbetween the hurls this was all I could manage ;)

Picture by Paul Quant 2006

Two replicas done

The lightning was far from as fantastic as on Paul Quant's pictures, and I hadn't access to the same amazing bridge as we did then, so I had to "work it" with what I got. I'm kind of pleased though :)

The copy

The original

One replica done

The weather today was not the best for shooting outside. It was dark all day long, so the picture did end up far from Paul Quant's masterpieces. But considering weather aspects I still think the picture was okay..

Missing shoot

Finally I'm half the person I used to be...and I'm not talking about my weight ;)
After being sick since me and my sister got back from London in October (I had a cold even before we left) I haven't been aware to what's been going on in my life, I've been soooooo dead tired, my body have just survived but no more. I can't even remember what I've been doing the last months. It makes me so mad! I have things to do, things that needs my brain to cooperate, not just be on vacation. I feel like I wanna slap me around a bit to awake me!

But just now I FINALLY taped a last sequense for a new crafts video. It's about time!
Tomorrow I'll probably try to shoot a replica of Paul Quant's pictures of me (if the weather isn't too bad). I think I'm on my way back, slowly, but back :)

Paul's master pieces of me 

Spend 2 hours at the Emergency ward

Still suffering from the complications from my pneumonia, sinusitis and the beginning of an ear infection I had to go on even more medicine, and the day before yesterday my fingers felt fumbling and my arms heavy and my eyes a bit wierd, so yesterday I visited the doctor. He thought it was because of the cortisone I used but to still continue with the antibiotics, so I did.

Today at lunch I got a heavy pain in my heart-area (you know, where my cold, black stone is) and it spread up to my throat and then up to the right side of the face, making it feel a bit numb and strange. My lips was numb too. I had to land my ass in the sofa a while. The pain in my chest continued over a couple of minutes and after a while my sight went a bit odd. I felt like the eyes was a bit slow. It really scared me.
I called the ER and they wanted me to take an ECG, so I went.

The tests didn't show anything, and after 2 hours I told them I wanted to go home, so I had to sign myself out. I have better things to do then hang in the ER all night long..
I feel better now, but I still feel there is something strange going on with my fingers and arms, but as long as it doesn't kill me I don't care. I think it might be a reaction to the medicine, but I'm not sure, and I still have 3 more days left of it...
Of course I've landed a massive castric catarrh after all my time of strong medicine, so now I feel hungry ALL the time - even when I'm eating... I'm totally overeating and will start the year having to loose weight. That sucks!

"Our" song

I got  a question about if me and my husband share a first-night-song.
And yes, we do! It's not our style in music at all.
We were at an electro disco (never seen eachother before), and was waiting and waiting for a slow dance.
This one came on and we both turned, looked at eachother, reached out and just fell into eachothers arms <3 Not a word was spoken! Kind of strange, considering now I can't shut up. I'm guessing he's longing for those quiet minutes again *haha*
The first song we ever danced to was:

Made chocolate for tonight

I made a milk chocolate truffle with whiskey, covered it in dark chocolate and used chocolate decour paper on it. Turned out very nice :)
The other I made was a dark espresso truffle covered in milk chocolate and with some cacao on top.
They are both sooooo goooood. I shouldn't have tried two of them before bedtime yesterday though...I'm no coffee drinker so I had trouble falling asleep.

The white one is a clean white truffle with lime, rolled in icing sugar. Sometime I have lime, sometimes oranges. Drooool.

I always think that IF you are going to eat candy - make it yourself, then at least you will get rid of all of those extra products that is no good for you..

Better candy makes better bodys <3

22 years in love

The 5'th of January 1989 (22 years ago) I fell in love, and I'm still falling...<3

I met my husband for the very first time ever and we both fell madly in love. This is the first picture of us together from that magically night.

I can sure tell the 80's was no good era for my hair ;) Back then it was pure misery all over. I was blonde at first, but a few weeks before this picture I was a hair-model and the bastards colored me in an awful carrot color. The day before this picture I just grabbed a pair of scissors and cut my hair a bit here and there. Well, I can't hate it really, since it helped me nail the prettiest boy alive <3

I love you for being so pretty

(he's nice too, but I only care for looks)

See what a big smile he put's on my face everytime he's near <3



Knees are in

Apparently after watching fashion shows the next "it" thing is knees.
And I can just say I'd LOVE these überpretty pantyhoses with a different pattern over the knee.

I'm often very cold on my knees, so instead of wearing leg-warmers, I usually cut off pieces from old lace stockings, add some lace-ribbon to the cut of ends and pull over my knees for extra heat. It gives the same expression, kind of...
There must be a hidden camera in here for the fashion designers..?
I must be a shear genious!

Goth keyboard

This must be on every goths wishlist!
I already have a clear keyboard with neon blue light in it, but if I didn't....

Can read a bit more here.
