Birthday self portrait (2wks ago) with long hair. I’m only 3 years away from 30 and feel like I look it but sometimes people think I’m still in high school. Age is weird.
Blue or orange?
(Also: proof I make the same face in every picture)
Before my job interview last Monday. You’d hire me, right?
- Me: Jag har köpt en vinterjacka idag!
- Swedish boyfriend: Visa!
- Me: (puts on vinterjacka, jättenöjd) Ta-da!
- Swedish boyfriend: Men sötis det DÄR är ingen vinterjacka... tyvärr.
- Spoken like a true Swede.
An actual email from my grandparents I got today:
Subject: a picture for you PROPER DRESS FOR FLIGHTS
ON YOUR RECENT TRIP BET YOU DIDN’T SEE FELLOW PASSENGERS DRESSED SO FORMALLY. THIS PHOTO SHOWS US LEAVING ON OUR HONEYMOON FLIGHT TO SICILY MAY 5, 1962. Note granny’s white gloves and my felt hat. this was normal attire in those days. Unthinkable to look otherwise.
Today’s corporate-not-so-corporate attire: metallics
Necklace designed by Doras Viñas, bought at SFMOMA MuseumStore.
Bought a new dress.
The “raggar” subculture, which emerged in Sweden in the 1950s was inspired by the American greasers. “Raggare” are mostly small-town gangs known for their love of rockabilly music, leather vests, pomade and, of course, cars - the raggare’s mode of transport, sleeping place, chick magnet and party venue. Thanks to the raggar culture, there are more restored 1950s American cars in Sweden than in the entire US.

Is it bad that all I can think while watching this is how hipster everyone looks in this clip? Especially the danceoff (4:30 - 5:45) between the seamen and the sailors!
Ed Ruscha will never stop being handsome. Here he is modeling the spring line from Band of Outsiders.
