This years must-see movie: When You’re Strange. My love for everything The Doors and Jim Morrison is one of the greater, and for years and years The Doors have been a part of my Top 3 favorite bands (together with The Who and Coldplay). Jim Morrison is the epitome of the Fallen Rockstar, with drugs, politics and rock’n'roll, leaving his mark alongside Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix and for that matter Jeff Buckley and Kurt Cobain.
The new movie features never before seen photos and film and is narrated by another favorite Mr. Johnny Depp. Can’t wait to see this, and there’s no doubt in my mind about whether I will like it or not. Love Jim always. The misunderstood geniuses are always the most complex and interesting characters, it is so cliché, but true. Random fact: Jim allegedly had and IQ of 149.
Like mentioned earlier in the last Q&A session I have recently acquired a new type of body art to my unblemished body. Got together with a friend who’s a tattoo artist last Wednesday and added the sentence “ensemble c’est tout” to my wrist. Ensemble, c’est tout means something along the lines of “being together is all that really matters” and is the title of one of my favorite books, written by the very talented Anna Gavalda.
The thing that amazed me most about the session, which didn’t last long at all, was the fact that it didn’t really hurt that much. Some, but perfectly livable pain. Now, I don’t want to sound like I am encouraging young people to take tattoos, it’s a piece that will be on your skin for the rest of your life, so think it through (for a loooong time) before going through with it. Personally I’ve been thinking seriously about it for the last 4-5 years, and even though the session in itself was sort of an impulse thing, I’ve had the idea in my mind for over 8 months now, together with many others that have been discarded along the way.
Personally I think that tattoos can be both beautiful and utterly&completely hideous. Tramp stamps and salamanders on the ankle makes me nauseous, while a guy with the perfect sleeve earns 1000 extra hotness-points. It’s all about style, color, placement and implementation.
If you have any questions about it, don’t hesitate to ask! Does any of you have a/or more tattoos?
“In Berlin, a “group of cyclists” dumped many gallons of paint into the middle of Rosenthalerplatz, letting pedestrians, cars, and bikes create a colorful collective work of art.” I think this is one of the most beautiful art projects I’ve seen in awhile. Wish we could have more art concepts like this in Oslo. More photos and info here: GOOD.
Working on my costume for the premier of Alice In Wonderland next Friday and the after party with NEVERLAND. Being a part of the NEVERLAND crew a costume means doing the little (or big) extra to look C.R.A.Z.Y. And I love it, but on a budget of -200 kroner, I need to be creative. So even though I can’t sew, I try. And I think the result will look sort of cool. I hope so in any case. Are any of you going to the premiere?
