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.

Todays make up

I went for red eyebrows today.
I use whatever eye shadow and add water and then paint it on with a squirrel hair brush to make exact lines.

My living room - black and white

Sweden is a dark country most of the time.
Perfect for vampires, but I'm like most swedes in general - I need light!!! We are known for having boring white flats, and I'm no exeption.
I hate colors around me (even black), it messes with my mind, and I think if I live in happy colors I will become a common person. What a horror!!! Commoners!
Most of the time I just have white curtains, but since my family likes colors I agree to change them to different colors - but only for a few weeks at the time. I already hate the black and white...

The flat is nowhere near how I'd like it to look, but for now this will do.
I'm constatly lobbying my husband for a white floor and other stuff. But I realize, when you have 3 gremlins making holes and painting where mum wants no paint, this will be when hell freezes over. And according to what Mr Devil said today it aint gonna happen the next years.

Welcome for some canapes

Me in the wild

My whole family went to the spinach (nature) today.

I hate the outdoors, but even me, as the fresh outdoors hater as I am, could not resist but to enjoy the moment :) The most fun I had was to look at all the Bambi poop laying exactly everywhere! We even saw fresh poops! Ohhh...the roe deer must have been there only moments before.

And I must say I'm shocked about the amount of poop in the forest. The roes must shit while they stroll. What if we did the same? Just had our excrement running all the time..?

Had the afternoon break on a cliff

The weather was wonderful, and the view even better

 I was plucking sticks and moss for indoor decorations :)

Me and nature used to best of friends in my early years, but we have grown apart, but to visit her today was to visit an old friend, we found eachother immideatly. But I guess it will be a while until we meet again.

Bat GIF

I just love bats <3

Fly, fly my lovely fly eaters!
I once saw a dead bat, it was so tiny, so tiny. It looked just like a little baby, and the wings were just too cool. It's one of the prettiest things I've ever seen, too bad it was dead though..

My boys

This is a totally cute shot of my Porsche. I love that cat <3 (and the man holding him).

Todays make up

Here I am doing make up for a shoot

And here is how I looked when I was done

I'm wearing a necklace made by Ksenia Mikhaylova . She's got some serious pretty stuff!

Montignac examples

According to the Monticnac Method the lunch should be the days fattest meal. Eat as much as you want. Here's a few examples:

Minced meat beefs, fresh spinach with grilled pears and crumbled blue cheese

Boiled and fried cauliflower with tomato, cummin, chili and curry, mushrooms, ruccola and hot sausage with high meat content.

Ruccola, green olives, cucumber, fried sausage and red onion. Rye bread with philadelphia and fried egg.

Friday lunch: oven baked paprika, onion, mushroom and pear, fillet of beef with black pepper, cream sauce with gorgonzola served with ruccola (and wine).

Todays craving

I don't know if anyone noticed, but I have a flair for lace stockings.
It started when I as a young Adora looked at old black and white movies with Marlene Dietrich, Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth and Shelley Winters. All those dotted, striped and lace stockings showed in the "dress-up scene" made me drool.

(They had to make it a dress-up scene since the other way around was known as stripping. But starting in your unmetionables and ending with a gala dress was fine...)

Since then I have far to many lace stockings. I tend to go for the ones that lasts a bit longer depending on clinging kids and cats that constantly lays in my lap. But I also love sheer stockings.

My current "Wanna have's" is from Wolford's 2011 collection.
I might just buy them, but I wouldn't dare to wear them! One kid or one claw and it's ruined and will have to be degraded to german stockings (ripped stockings).

One thing that's very practical with lace stockings is that blood splatter doesn't show that much, it just seems to be a part of the stocking. Very practical when you have a killer hobby that sometimes makes the headlines the next day ;)

Todays outfit

Many have asked about my "light" clothing, and if it's not cold in Sweden? It is cold in Sweden, but we DO have radiators! When I go out I obviously wear a jacket and if it's below zero I wear legwarmers on my knees.

Blouse: an old homemade, skirt and stockings H&M, necklace chains Lindex, necklace heart from London.

Montignac bread

Today I baked an easy bread, a bread you can eat when at Phase 2 (and even in Phase 1 if you've got not so much extra weight) in Montignac.

Don't be square bread
50 g yeast
7 dl water or milk
2 tablespoons of oil

5 dl fibre enriched oatmeal
2 dl rye flour
1 dl crushed rye
1 dl linseed or sunflower seed
2 teaspoons of salt
5 dl sifted rye flour
3 dl graham flour

Heat up the milk/water to 37 degrees Celcius. Add oil and yeast.

Mix all the dry ingredients in a kitchen aid and add the yeast mix. Let the machine work for about 5 minutes, then put the dough in a hot spot with a towel on top to yeast for 30 minutes.

Flatten it out to about 30x40 cm in a pan. Mark up 16 pieces with a knife.
Stab every bit with a fork. (Paint with water and stick some extra oatmeal on top.)
Let yeast in a hot spot another 30 minutes before you throw it into a 225 degrees Celcius hot oven. In the middle for about 20-25 minutes. BE AWARE - if it's in for too long it will be a bit to hard.

Break in pieces and eat with Philadelphia, ham, cheese and tomatoes/fried egg, tomatoes, leek...

Todays outfit

My hair is freshly bleached, and I have to go like this for a week before I have the time to color it in a new color. I hate being "just white" again. Yeah, the color came out alright, but I feel sooooo boring.

Dress and shoes H&M, belt Vero Moda, big bow Sonia Rykiel, stockings from X-tra-x

And why the hell do I wear so little make up? Easy answer, I'm shooting later, and am not sure on how to look.

And I better answer this before all the questions comes: I used Jane Hellen Ultrablond (bleaches 6 nuances), and then I added a dash of Violet and a dash of Silver to my conditioner to get rid of the yellow stick.

I now have a perfect color to make any color come out perfectly. Now it's time to choose one. I will go for a new color this time :)

Ungaro Fall 2011 Paris Fashion Week

I really loved the Ungaro Fall 2011, especially the lace dresses with the latex collars. Sheer genius!
Lace and latex fits us goths like a slaughtered horse in a glue factory every time.
But don't you think the models is a bit too skinny? Well, I like to look like this myself...but I can almost guarantee they don't eat according to Montignac...

Todays make up

This week I had a green day on Wednesday, and some kind of pink line for my happy Friday :)

Right now I'm bleaching my roots :) My head itches like crazy! I started a bit late, so I won't have the time to color it today. I have to live with the boring white color for a week :(

TeeBee's best comment of the day: "-Last night the Devil came to my room and patted my hair." -Why you think that, I asked? "-I don't think it, it really happened, because look at my hair, it didn't look like this when I went to sleep. He obviously messed it up."
Hahahaha. And his strange thought about the Devil was because they asked what the Devil was, and I tried to be a good Christian and tell them. But apparently I made them think he messes little boys hair when they sleep :D
