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.

For my Friend Anu. You will be missed.

"Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a Ring. I don't mean on the phone."

Or a hand piece actually. "The Offering" by Betony Vernon. Those claw rings are nice too, but that hand piece...wow! If only i had few thousand extra cash. Someday that wonderful piece on jewelry..no, art will be mine! 

 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

Let's Not Talk About Love! Betty Hutton - Let's Face It

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.
And i have new glasses! I won them in a competition by Lensway. What do you think? They are quite different from the other ones i have.

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? 

"..but when i'm bad, i'm better."

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.
