Tonight.

Work in progress. 4 hours done, too many still to come. /w Daniele Kabubby, Italy."You can say fuck in Finnish if you want, you don't have to be polite just because of me"

Sweden

My visit to Sweden was once again succesfull and relaxing.
Dogs, lovely people, Stockholm, food, spikemats, tea, puppy smell & kisses, Swedish countryside, a shop organized totally by color, chocolate factory, Sergels Torg & Stockholm, missed flight, sleeping in airport, autumn colors and once again.. puppy kisses. ♥
Special thanks to Anneli, Carina and Maggie. And the little puppy named Bacon.
More dog pics will be uploaded to Gekko's blog bit later.

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! ♥
