Me and the gals went to see the new sex and the city movie. We laughed our arses off! It was hilarious! Don't know if that was the doing of the 1/2 liter Cosmopolitan that we drank... EACH! Jojo made her nice (read: major spiked!) cosmo mix at home that we later were boozing up in the movie theater. Haha! We must have sounded like hyenas in there, cheers for the tipsy entertainment!
I remember when I was one of the few in my school who had a different ethnic background. We weren't many and it was hard at times to fit in. But there's a change today. We live in a more multi-cultural environment where globalization is key and instead of being blinded by über-blond hair and light skin I see a rainbow of colors in my hometown. Stockholm is expanding its horizons and when it comes to burlesque we've come a long way. Take a look at my new-found sweet hearts Chrystelle and Elena-Maria aka Page Three, shaking it!

My parents didn't allow me to hitch-hike to Denmark, Roskilde, in the summer of '95. Ha! What a shocker! I was 14 and my only wish was to see Jeff Buckley on Stage. He had this amazing voice that left me in a daze. He sounded like a mixture of my two favorite jazz vocalists: Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. Today we can hear Robert Pattinson, yes the vampire-actor, with a pipe that sounds a lot like the one of my hero Jeff Buckley. Do hope he gets to play him on the screen one day... Buckley is known for his debut album "Grace" and this masterpiece has been with me since day one. Through high school, the good and the bad. It held my hand through cheating boyfriends and jumped for joy at my achievements in life. It remains till this day one of my top five favorite albums of all times.
My good friends have finally got together again on stage and this time Nicke Andersson (Hellacopters) has released his awaited solo album. My man, his gang and I and my girls were in a packed debaser seeing them in action. What a sight!
