Day 20, I always will be Your Friend
I really like his version of this song and especially this recording from a secret gig, for some reason.
Tell your friends you love them. Right now.

She's done other really cool stuff too, check out www.betonyvernon.com
p.s. Her jewelry is gorgeous but so is she. What a beauty!

Inspiration, The wonderful Maila Nurmi, a.k.a. Vampira
One of my favourite photos of Maila.
On the set 1954
She had many different looks and she was much more than "just" the raven haired tv show hostess.
The Mystic, by Bernard of Hollywood
Look at that hair! In 1955!
At home with one of her cats, 1955

A Surprise party!
Me and Anni, photo Tipi Taskinen
My birthday is 26th of november, and when i went to work that day, there was a surprise waiting for me! Cake, champagne, presents!
I'm working in Atelje Teatro at the moment, and i like it! We're making ballet costumes for the national opera. I really needed a break from my hat business.. Ofcourse i'm making hats too, but not full time. I'll be back in my own atelier next month.
This picture was taken that morning, we had breakfast in Hotel Kämp.

Photos of strangers
I sometimes buy old photos from second hand shops and thrift stores. I usually buy pictures of everyday life, to see what people were really wearing. I also like photos of costume parties and photos that were taken without posing too much or failed photos where someone wasn't standing still etc.
But this photo i bought because he is gorgeous. Those eyes are mesmerizing! I wonder who he was.
He reminds me of someone i've met.
Another picture of the same guy.
This is someone else. Maybe i've posted this pic before?

Yes "darling", this blog post is about you.
To my ex who never achieved anything and probably never will. One of the saddest parasites (sorry darling, but you know it's true) i've ever known. I hope you have a happy life (it's up to you, you know) and that we'll never meet again.
