666 PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO

Last summer I was browsing through a tattoo magazine (I actually enjoy that more than Vogue sometimes:)and read an article about 666 Photography. I am so totally in love with all the prints they make, the photographer Gayla is amazing and does all the styling herself too.

I just can't get enough of the pics, I could eat them:




But unlike the Vogue girls below, these tattoos are real

ONE MORE IS NEVER ENOUGH




I have an itch for some new tattoos again; I have two planned already. But as soon as I get a new one done I start thinking of the next one. One more is never enough.

The amazing pictures above are from the december issue of Italian Vogue.

THE RUSSIAN DOLL


Dress - Diesel, Scarf - Indiska
Turtleneck knit and tights- H&M

I went out to get some groceries and to buy some haircolour (still trying to get my hair white again after having it a bit darker last summer) and decided that I was tired of looking like shit even though I'm a bit sick. So I dressed nice and warm and made myself look like a russian (sort of) doll with a folky style knitted dress, a patterned wool scarf and red cheeks, a dark red small mouth and long lashes (Lancomes Fatale always does the trick). Cute outfit but since I kept my jacket all the time no one really saw it...

Outside it was snowing for the first time this winter (apart from a few days in November I think) and everything was quite calm and quiet even though there were a lot of people around. Snow somehows soften all noises and sounds in such a strange way. I decided to walk to a store a bit further away than the one on my street to get some fresh air - and so that someone actually could see my nice outfit...- and I ended up buying a lot of vegetables for my soups and different kinds of juices. In the end my bag became really heavy and I'm still weak and coughy so I was sweating and it was hell to walk back. I looked like shit anyway when I got back home.

COLOURS IN THE KITCHEN


Today I'm still sick but I feel a lot better and I like this stage - you can take it easy without feeling guilty about not doing anything. I've been watching movies, going through magazines and drinking different kinds of teas and hot juices. I've been making colourful and healthy food and listening to Bollywood hits (I really like Kishore Kumar and this is a great song - but the video is really cheezy and his outfit out of this world so if you watch it just listen and look away :). I've been cooking with my favourite spices like cardamom and coriander, so it smells nice at home.

Why does one always have soup when sick? Well I can catually think of quite many reasons and anyway, I really like soups so I don't mind. Yestarday I made a soft green puree soup of broccoli spinach and potatoes, then a chili-tomatoe soup with chunks of mozzarella and today's soup is a carrot puree soup with ginger, coriander and light creme fraice. Then I made some oven-baked apples with cardamom and honey and had some blackcurrant juice. Yumyum.
