Carnaval in Salvador

I've just gotten back from a day of crazy carnaval in Salvador. There I met up with my friend Rai, and we went from party to party + danced on top of one of the busses for hours. My face ended up on brazilian TV, ha ha. I'm very happy I had his company, otherwise I would be lost in the masses of people. I really wish I could have had my very nice Canon 5D camera with me, but it wouldn't have been safe. Therefore, pix taken by my little G9 will do.

I'm getting the right attire!!

Pecha Kucha tonight!! In Oslo...

I won't be there, but I've been organizing it nevertheless... Head to Pecha Kucha for some inspiring talks!

The Gringa Girl and the Hairy Dude hanging in Sao Paulo

Stephan Doitschinoff aka CALMA and I became friends in London. Five years later we meet again in Sao Paulo. Stephan is an artist, makes fantastic stuff and is doing really well, and I will post some of his work later on. It has been great hanging out again; we've had hour-long conversations about life/dreams/presence/eckhart tolle whom we're both really into/how we've developed since we last met/etc. Here we're hanging outside one of the street-art galleries in SP, Choque Cultural, where there was a big artist-gathering for a magazine shoot. Later on we all went for food and another art opening.

Visiting newspaper Zero Hora in Porto Alegre

I have travelled down to Porto Alegre to visit the south Brazilian newspaper Zero Hora. In Norway I freelance for the media organization MBL / Young Readers, where my main focus is how the newspaper industry can survive, renew itself and attract a younger audience. Zero Hora does just this - and has a total youth think. I first discovered them on the Young Readers Conference in Prague, where they won the Young Readers Prize. And since I was going to Brazil anyway, I figures I might as well swing by. I had a great day with them. If you read portuguese you can check me out on Zero Hora's blog :)

These pictures were taken by Zero Hora photographer Ronaldo Bernardi. Here I am with online editor Pedro Dias Lopes.

And other people from the Zero Hora crew.

Barbiemania

My friends Gilles and Cecilie (great artist couple based in London) always call me Barbie. It's been my nickname since I came back from a trip to San Francisco six years ago, where a transvestite had stopped me in the street, exclaiming that a normal woman simply could not look like me, and then called me BAAARBIIIE!! So when I arrive at Rai's house, who is also their good friend, but does not know about my nickname, it's pretty funny that there's a big Barbie pillow on my bed. And that a few days later, on our trip to a nice bookshop, we find this huge Barbie book. I.E: Barbie has arrived in SP!
