Sugar High!

Sometimes us Norwegians venture across the boarder, to Sweden, to buy candy, food, booze and way too many other things. We did so before x-mas and went mad in the candy store...

The Sartorialist - behind the scenes

I love The Sartorialist, which enables me to people-watch at cool looking people all over the world, from my living room/ work-desk/bed/wherever :) In this short and very nicely done film, you will see how several of the recent images on his blog were made.

Architectural Treat in the Jungle

When I was in Thailand, on the boarder of Burma, I visited a tiny village called Noh Bo. Here, the norwegian Ole-Jørgen Edna runs an orphanage for burmese children who have fled from Burma. Years ago a few came knocking on his door, he let them stay, and more and more kids kept coming. Now he houses 57 kids. Find out more about his project at blessedhomes.org


These very cool bamboo huts are made by the architects at TYIN tegnestue. They've been mentioned in plenty of architectural mags. Nice, huh. All images by Pasi Aalto.

Grey Gardens

The other night I watched Grey Gardens, the 70's documentary about mother and daughter Big Edie and Little Edie. I've been wanting to see this for years, and then there it was, in my friend's bookshelf. 
The film documents the mother and daughter with high-society connections, related by blood to Jackie O., yet live in a mansion eaten through by raccoons and cats and piled high with tin cans and newspaper. 
Little Edie became famous for the way she puts together her outfits, from random things laying about.  To her, they were the absolutely right "costume for the day."

ME - in 2006

I found this picture I took of myself about five years ago. I had dyed my hair darker before this and it was slowly coming off. I'm still loving that colorful shirt, which I bought in San Francisco. 

Gilles & Cecilie for Paul Smith

Gilles and Cecilie, a french norwegian couple living in London, have made this fantastic installation for Paul Smith in Milan. The first picture is from the-making-of. And in the film, you'll se the process. I love their work! Enjoy!

Afghan Star

I recently saw the documentary Afghan Star. It gives a great insight into Afghanistan after Taliban. The contest both unites the country, introduces them to democratic decision making and became a super hype. There were only two women competing in the song contest, and one of them, when she was voted out, danced on stage - which meant that she was risking her life, as dancing is not accepted. 

The dancing HERO!

My Friend Linn

This is one of my best friends, Linn, and her cool daughter Frida. Linn, her man and Frida has recently moved back to Oslo after many years in Copenhagen. It's lovely to have her back!
