The winter was long and cold.
Really cold.
And really long.
I did lots of burlesque shows; here as the serpent at the Helsinki Burlesque Festival. Photo by Rik Stavale.
And here at The Burlesque Hall of Fame in Vegas in June. Photo by Melody Mudd / Burlesque Beat.
In spring in the countryside our baby lambs were born.
Of which half have sadly ended their days on someone's dinner table already.
And in summer the IBTC got a new line up.
I was in a couple of magazines.
And showed you some of my home as it had turned out after the renovation!
Which also made it to a magazine, although not yet published.
Was on the radio and visited some TV shows; here where I styled the host.
And as you all know - got happily married!
By autumn my friend and I had both turned 30 and we celebrated it True Blood style.

I really love your look in the last photo :) Where did you buy your shoes? It will be really interesting to watch your maternity wear, cause sometimes I think, in this period it's really hard for girls who likes rockabilly/vintage...
And congrats one more time :)

Grattis! Jag gissade lite redan tidigare att du är gravid :D Vet inte varför, känner dig inte ens, men kanske det strĂ¥lade igenom pĂ¥ vissa bilder, och för att du inte skrivit om vilka barer du besökt med drinkar osv :D
Du blir en skit snygg morsa!

Oooooh I'm so happy for you both! Congratulations! :)
Olen varmaan omissa hormonihöyryissäni, kun melkein tirautin kyyneleen vauvauutisista. Se on vaan niin jännä, kun seuraa toisen ihmisen elämää vuosia netin kautta ja vaikka ei tunne mitään kautta henkilökohtaisesti, silti näistä isoista tapahtumista iloitsee, kuin ne olisi tapahtunut jollekin lähemmällekin ihmiselle :D
Toivottavasti ei kuulostanut creepyltä stalkkerilta :D
Onnea paljon!
Oooh many congratulations to you and Eddie.
Congratulations to you both! Such lovely news! xoxo
How lovely - congratulations to you and Eddi! Best wishes from the UK :-)
Marvelous year....and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
