Lady Gaga wearing a Fiona Timantti headpiece!

I can't tell you how excited i am to see Gaga wearing this headpiece i made for her! It's unique and i spent hours and hours making it. I'm so happy she likes it! I admire her style and attitude so much. Wow.

This pic is from Terry Richardson's Diary.

PinUpHelsinki likes boys too!

Our PinUpHelsinki project is also suitable for guys! Here's Tatu who gave this picture for his wife as a surprise present.

My style in Elle Magazine

 Elle Finland asked me to show them some of my favourite pieces from my wardrobe.

I like to keep my make-up simple. Left daytime, right evening look. 

My daytime make-up is just foundation, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil and red lipstick.

They put me next to a very funny Jean Paul Gaultier ad! :D 

Metropolis programme, 1927

Pics from retronaut, there's more!

I'm so excited that the theme for the Helsinki Burlesque Festival 2013 is "Burlesqopolis"! Our dance group is performing there too! Can't wait! :)

Did they really have purple hair or is this photo just colored that way?

I wanna dye my hair purple again.

Cool pics of Helsinki today and how it used to look about 100 years ago

My friend showed me these photos of Helsinki. It's fun (sometimes sad when there has been some beautiful buildings torn down) to see how it used to look where i live. I found two pics from my naigbourhood.

Happy 88th Birthday Lauren Bacall!

Omg. I need these.

I just went totally babanas when i saw these....THE Coolest wellies ever! I need these. Shame that these are LV, 'cause i usually don't pay extra for any name or label (=i can't afford these!).

I'm in love with these shoes!
