This Is It

"It's all for love. L-O-V-E."
Michael Jackson, This Is It rehearsals 2009

The night of the living dead

Last night was amazing! I learned the whole 6 minute long dance and danced it with 89 other zombies in the railwaystation of Helsinki. The fact that makes me the most proud is, that I have zero, I repeat ZERO, dancing experience nor skills and despite that I managed to learn the dance and take part to this amazing event.

So ladies and gentlemen, Thrill The World 2009, Helsinki Finland!!!

Meet the Bikers

Readers, meet Bikers. Bikers, meet my readers.
These are my new winter boots, a gift from J. They are perfect and done by no less than the legendary boot maker Pekka Lahti from Boot Factory!
I've been eyeing bikers for a long time and now I got my very own pair. ♥ And I'm very happy about the fact, that now that I finally have biker boots, they are not just any soulless pair of bikers but hand made with love and 95% Finnish. At least I think they are made with love, since Lahti has been making boots almost 30 years!
Thanks babe, now my toes won't freeze in winter! ♥

Longboarding

01/10/2009 @ Töölö, Helsinki. Me and J /w longboards.
I still suck, but at least I didn't fall once and can now move and turn with my* longboard slighly better than before. I will still be needing loads of practice, so intresting to see if I learn anything before the winter break arrives. I also found some new muscles from my back today, so I guess this post can be tagged under "sport", hah!
*It wasn't really my longboard, it was one of J's as you can see in the pics. It's bit different than my own and I can control it bit more easier.
