Disney lunchbox at Happy Six!

2012-01-27T03:23:00.000-08:00

I found the cutest lunchbox with Alice in Wonderland at this store www.happysix.com,

They have a bunch of cute stuff!!! I like when clothes and accessories put you in a good mood just by being there, I mean, how can you not smile when carrying this tote around?

I'm moving!

Cutest commercial right now!

Simpsons premieres today!

2007-07-27T21:17:00.000-07:00

A fun night!

2007-07-27T01:53:00.000-07:00

Yay, now I'm home after a really fun night out with a Swedish, F, and TJ from work, so much fun! Me and F started out at this vodka bar close to the beach and the YJ joined us after he finished work. I was planning on going home fairly early (around 10pm or so) but when the suggestion came up to go to another bar at 11.30, I was on it! I had so much fun! And now I juts have to worry about getting up at 7am tomorrow to go to work... *yawn*

Robot woman

2007-07-23T23:05:00.000-07:00

I seriously did feel like something out of Star Trek when the doctor sent me home wearing this "portable EKG" with 7 sensors, a bunch of cables and a practical little monitor attached...Yaaay....

Doctor's visit

2007-07-22T22:42:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow I'm finally going to the doctor to have my blood pressure thing checked out. I'm a little nervous but I'm sure it'll be ok (it'll be ok it'll be ok it'll be ok...)

2 years!

2007-07-20T19:46:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was me and H's 2nd wedding anniversary! I can't believe
we've been married for 2 whole years and I still get butterflies when I think about him :) H took the day off from work and we went to the beach for a few hours.

In the evening he took me out to dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant and then we finished off at Santa Monica Pier watching the sunset and listening to an outdoor concert, so romantic (yes I'm a sucker for romance!
Aren't you?)!

The world is T-I-N-Y!

2007-07-18T21:21:00.000-07:00

It's insane! Today at work, this Swedish-looking girl(yes, you can totally tell) comes in to try on a pair of jeans, I asked her where she was from and she said "Sweden" and after that we just started laughing and talking and it turns out she's best friend with my friend E who I had wine with when I was in Sweden a few weeks ago! We know the same people and she's from Molnlycke where I went to school! Besides everything we have in common, she actually seems like a really cool, nice girl and I really feel like I could use a little bit of home right now...

... that Kristin Davis looks so gorgeous and healthy!

Hairspray

2007-07-17T12:13:00.000-07:00

At a first look, it just seems like a few pictures from the NYC premiere of Hairspray (I'm so watching that ASAP), but then... look... do you see what I see? Yeah, right there in the top right corner...
Who let Katie Holmes out alone?
Where's her babysit..*hrm*..husband? Questions form:
Does he know she left the house at night?
Is she allowed to wear heels now?
Did she finally escape or is there a bunch of Scientology spy's at her tracks?

Hmmm...sneeky...

Simpsons hysteria!!!

2007-07-16T16:40:00.000-07:00

Oh...my...god! If the Simpson family was big before, they're completely humongous right now! With just a couple of weeks left for the big opening, the yellow family is on everyone's lips and I for one, love it! First came the Kwik-E-Marts, then the official Springfield was voted on (turned out it's in Vermont of all places) and now, in a stroke of complete genius,
Harper's Bazaar are doing a spread starring Linda Evangelista guiding the Simpsons through Paris and have them meet some of the hottest designers today! I adore it!

Isn't she lovely?

2007-07-12T18:41:00.000-07:00

Little miss Emma Watson just got prettier as the years went by, didn't she? She's even rumored to be the new Chanel muse and well, I can definitely see it!

Pics: Popsugar.com

Aaahh...

2007-07-12T18:32:00.000-07:00

The beach was wonderful, it always amazes me how beautiful it is with all the palm trees and the perfect turquoise ocean! I was almost alone in "my spot" except for a camera team (they're always filming something or another at the beach) that also found that quiet part of the beach.

Finally sunny!

2007-07-12T10:39:00.000-07:00

Ever since we got back from Sweden I've had 3 days off from work and they've all been kinda chilly and hazy, not exactly beach weather in other words, but today I woke up to 23 degrees and a clear blue sky! Time for Palisades beach :)

Transformers

2007-07-09T21:28:00.001-07:00

So tonight me and H went to see Transformers. H had been watching the cartoon when he was a kid, and thus had high hopes for the movie, me on the other hand, having barely heard of Transformers except from my friends and co-workers that had seen the movie and they said it was "awesome!!!"
Well, it sucked b*lls to be quite honest! It was the cheesiest Americanized crap I've ever seen!

I can count the times I laughed on 1 hand (and that includes the times I laughed at what I thought were jokes about how they exaggerated the American patriotism, but a quick look around and I noticed a bunch of angry faces telling me it was certainly not a joke and America is awesome!) but I can't even count all the times that I rolled my eyes on both of my hands, it was ridiculous! With comments like "I would sacrifice myself to save this world" (in a robot-voice) and "You're a soldier now!" (in a time-to-save-your-country-and-be-a-military-hero-voice), I was begging for the end to come...*yuck*

Biggest craze!

2007-07-05T11:31:00.000-07:00

I don't think anyone has missed the "I'm Not a Plastic Bag"-bag. This eco-friendly Anya Hindmarch creation is highly sought after all over the world, as cheap as it is (only $15!!!) it's completely sold out and if you're not a top celeb, it's impossible to get your hands on :(
On Ebay, the bids are climbing up to $500 and even the online guides on how to find one goes for a couple of hundred!!! So don't even bother with that...

Pics: Stylehive.com

Busy day!

2007-07-03T21:37:00.000-07:00

Jeez, I'm so exhausted, 3 major celebs in one day is no piece of cake! First Paris and Nicky came in and shopped around for about an hour, Nicky was dressed really cute in white tank, black shorts, gladiator sandals and a huge Chanel bag. Paris had a green Fluet dress with a white blouse underneath, white pumps (the real 80's-Minnie-mouse type) and no makeup! She looked better without makeup than I would have expected...

And then, right before closing, a superblond Lindsay Lohan walks in (pretty fresh for being so soon after her 21st birthday bash), with 2 huge bodyguards and everyone had to stay and help. Needless to say, the paparazzi have been waiting outside work the entire day...

Aaahh, just another day at work!

Out of touch

2007-07-02T14:54:00.000-07:00

No, I didn't vanish from the face of the earth, I just lost touch with my computer while in Sweden, there was just always something else to do! Anyway, some changes are acoming, more about that later :) Ant thoughts you might have please email me at:

la-sweden@hotmail.com

Love ya!

Overly excited!

2007-06-06T15:16:00.001-07:00

I just saw this pic of Sarah Michelle wearing the dress I picked out for her at work! *Yay* I know it's just one of her hundreds of dresses but it's still a satisfactory feeling to see someone wear something you suggested.
Call it, confirmation, that you're good at what you do :)

Something's not right...

2007-06-06T13:05:00.000-07:00

...with Xtina's face! I know it's a bad angle but I'd say all that tanning and makeup is taking it's toll and she looks a lot older than she is. I'm also a little worried that she got new extensions (once again!), she has so many bald spots already and in combo with her frequent peroxide-treatments, it won't be long till she'll be forced to pull a Britney!

Again with the adoption...

2007-06-06T07:27:00.000-07:00

Angelina has apparently "fallen in love" with a little Czech orphan boy in Prague, where she's currently filming her latest movie "Wanted", and wants to -gasp- adopt him! Who would have thought? So let me see, she's almost up to a junior soccer team:

Maddox, Cambodia
Zahara, Ethiopia
Pax, Vietnam
and of course little Shiloh

Oh and did I mention that if she adopts this little Czech kid, it'll be her 4th child in less than 2 years!!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely aware that adoption is, most of the time, a really good way to help an orphan to a better life and give a childless person the joy of a kid BUT, I do think adoption could be a mistake sometimes and here's why:

Classic psychology: Angie recently lost her mom after a long illness, during which she adopted Pax and had Shiloh, and now she wants to adopt another one? Looks to me like somebody is missing the love her mom used to give her and is now trying to get love anywhere she can!
Also, she and Brad have been seen fighting a lot (yes I know all couples fight) for a looong time (we're talking like, at least a year!) and on top of that, they're on different continents most of the time and Brad doesn't really want to adopt another kid.

Does this sound like great environment you wanna throw another child into?

Honestly, in this case I think she's being selfish, I think she should work things out with Brad (see if they're even gonna work out at all...yes, there are rumours stirring in LA.) Then I think she should go see a therapist and work her own issues out, cause god knows she's got plenty of those!

3 days...

2007-06-06T07:25:00.000-07:00

...in the same dress is just nasty! We finally got our luggage yesterday and let me tell you, switching clothes is just a blessing!

Oh F**K!!!

2007-06-04T02:18:00.000-07:00

Our bags are still in freakin' Chicago!!! I don't know why (since we had plenty of time at that airport) but what I do know is, WE HAVE NOTHING!!! No clothes, no makeup, no shoes, absolutely nothing more than what we're wearing! SAS couldn't even tell me when our stuff will get here, I just pray it gets here soon.. or at all for that matter...*Gaaaaah!!!*

Sweden, here we come!

2007-06-02T08:31:00.000-07:00

Yes, my Ipod's loaded, I've hugged all my friends, the dresses are packed and off we go!!!

New lows in reality TV

2007-06-02T07:53:00.000-07:00

Ok, I'm not in general a big fan of reality shows (the weird faked drama creepes me out a little) but this seems just completely...what's the word...insane? Unnecessary? Dull as hell? What could Kim Stewart (who's boyfriend actually came in to Fred's the other day, hunting like a maniac after a gift for her) and Kelly Osbourne possible do to make this show interesting???

Packing up!

2007-06-01T09:26:00.000-07:00

Yes, only one day left until we fly out to Sweden!!! Last night I had a "Goodbye-Pinkberry" with my good friend T and just hung out for a while, I'm really gonna miss people but at the same time, I don't think I'll be able to focus on that to much since I'll be with my friends and family back home :) Man, I can't wait!

Not even close...

2007-05-30T20:48:00.000-07:00

Are you serious??? I hardly think think that Nicole's 80 lb frame could bare a child (or even produce an egg for that matter!) Especially since she just dropped 15 pounds recently, not exactly the first sign of pregnancy. Not that I rely on National Enquirer as a truthful source but jeez...
They have quite a nerve putting THAT on the cover!

My old Ipod is definitely done for :( But, it's time to move on and why not go with a smaller, lighter and more pink than the last one? I love my new baby!

Oh how wonderful life would be in Gucci...

2007-05-29T17:17:00.000-07:00

I'm completely in love with Gucci's spring/summer collection! The red and purple together is a killer combo and the belts just complete the magic!

Lindsey sober? Aha, whatever!

2007-05-26T21:24:00.002-07:00

So there's been this huge commotion about Svedka Vokda sponsoring
La Lohan's 21st birthday bash. Why? Because Linds is in AA and is a sober alcoholic *Hrrm* ok, if you say so, but I've seen her out and about and let me put it this way, she is not exactly drinking water! Yes, she is officially still in AA (and I do appriciate her trying I do, my friend J is an alcoholic, tho sober for 9 months now and I've seen how hard it's been for him to quit), but she's still drinking, doing coke and smoking pot, I feel like she's only mocking AA!
For shaaaame...

Fred Segal is fun!

2007-05-26T20:50:00.000-07:00

I love my job! For the last hour today, we had basically no customers and out of nowhere all of us just had a spontaneous dance-off to "Walk it out"! It's so good to work with fun people :D

Review

2007-05-24T22:40:00.000-07:00

This is the mascara I've been using for the past 3 weeks or so, and it made so many promises I have to admit, I was more than a little sceptic at first...

It claims to: Lenghten, thicken, separate, curl and condition lashes extremely well and with no hassle. It's also said to never smudge or flake, not even when you take it off in the evening since it comes off in little tubes!

In real life it does: All of the above!!! It's crazy but it actually works in every way it claims, I love the smell and that it never smudges (you know like some other mascaras that smudge very finely underneath your eyes and make you look like you haven't slept in 2 weeks), and I found it works best if you apply it in layers for the ultimate dramatic-volume-yet-naturally-separated-effect, and since I got a discount on it (at work), I can't even complain about the price! Yay, 5 out of 5!

I finally did it......

2007-05-24T22:35:00.000-07:00

... after my good friend J nagged me forever, I finally pulled myself together and watched RENT! And now I understand why he wanted me to watch it so bad, I love it, it's wonderful and sad and happy and I love it!
See it if you haven't!

What a day!

2007-05-24T22:12:00.000-07:00

Sorry I've been a little abscent from the blog this week, friday night really drained me and I'm still feeling a little lightheaded at night so I try not to sit by the computer too much.

Anyway, today I had a day off from work and I took the oppurtunity to go up to Hollywood and Melrose to do some gift-shopping :) First stop was my beloved
Marc by Marc Jacobs for some gifts, I also couldn't resist trying on these

in silver even tho I knew I wasn't gonna get them :( So cute tho!
Then up to the Kodak centre which is still one of my favorite places to go in the city! Yes, I could do without all the turists and tourguides that are constantly asking you to by tickets and shit, but the feeling of standing upstairs , looking at the Hollywood-sign just can't be beat!

Cudos to Vics!

2007-05-21T10:36:00.000-07:00

Definitely one of the nicest outfits I've ever seen on her! Very casual (but put-together-casual of course), clean and fabulous, keep it up girl!

Awful night!

2007-05-19T21:15:00.000-07:00

Oh god, I had the most horrible night! It all started when I came home from work and begun to feel a little lightheaded, oh well, no big deal, I ate dinner and watched some TV to get rid of it and when it didn't I just decided to go to bed, then it got really bad. My blood pressure crashed instantly, my mouth and throat got all numb, everything started spinning really fast and I blacked out a few times and I felt like I was about to die!

For those of you who have read my blog for a while, you know that this isn't the first time this happens to me, I hate having low blood pressure!
Anyone have any tips on what you can do when this happens? Or prevent it completely?
Please, do share :)

Fun times with my FS crew!

2007-05-15T21:39:00.000-07:00

What the hell man???????

2007-05-14T18:47:00.000-07:00

What happened you guys? I didn't think they were that bad, right? And who the hell won???? Freakin' Serbia???? Are u kiddin' me???? They technically had good voices but that was it! It wasn't a Eurovision song, there was no personality or showmanship whatsoever and I think they got a lot of pity-votes! That was complete bull if u ask me! I didn't actualy think that The Ark had the best song in there, but we definitely belong in the top 10!

Oh well, at least I hope to shake my booty to Turkey and Greece this summer, also really liked Hungary and Germany (big Sinatra-fan) and Ukraine, Romaine and France were just fun!
Damnit, one of them should have won instead!

No ESC spoilers please!!!

2007-05-13T10:05:00.000-07:00

I won't have a chance to watch it until tonight so DON'T TELL ME WHO WON!!! Or who didn't win...

Head hunted!

2007-05-11T20:21:00.000-07:00

Today was just an ordinary day until I got out of work and decided to walk 3rd street home and drop by French Connection's VIP-night, then my day became wonderful!

Not only was there a red carpet, champagne and good music, but the store manager came up to me and said that he had seen me in action at Fred Segal and asked me to come and work for him instead!!!
So funny since that's how I first started at FS :) Such a compliment tho, it must mean I'm doing something right!

On fire!

2007-05-11T08:57:00.000-07:00

Everything's on fire over here, they barely just got control over the Griffith Park fire, when the Catalina one started! Thankfully it's mostly up in the mountains, but a lot of people still have tot leave their homes...

Aaah, Eurovision!

2007-05-10T19:42:00.000-07:00

This weekend it's time for ESC, Eurovision Song Contest! The biggest song contest in Europe that has been going on for over 50 years, and it's still our joy and pride and everyone loves it even if they don't admit it (I still remember my awkward teenage phase where I pretended to wanting to go out with my friends, then made up an excuse and stayed home watching ESC, hehe) This year,
The Ark are defending our honor with "The Worrying Kind"

And here's a little taste of what Sweden has sounded like through the years, hehe...

Oh yeah...

No smoke without fire

2007-05-08T19:36:00.000-07:00

Paris is trying every way that she knows to get over the shock that she's going to jail for 45 days, she goes shopping, she eats Pinkberry, she's crying in public and of course, smokes some pot to ease the pain!

She's made an open statement saying she thinks that her punishment is both "cruel and unfair" Ehrm, what??? What's so unfair about it??? She drove drunk (many times) and finally got her license taken away, the she got in the car again and drove without a licence, and theeeen, she was almost 20 mins late for court!!!

She gets 45 days in jail, and anyone who's ever had a loved one hit by a drunken driver must agree that it's about time Paris learns her lesson before someone actually gets hurt!

Beverly Center

2007-05-08T19:11:00.000-07:00

Finally home after a very successful day at the Beverly Center, I went to H&M for the first time since xmas and I have to say, they have improved, a lot! I found a bunch of stuff but of course, hey didn't have any of "my" things in my size :( So instead I bought a whole bunch of stuff for H, it's just so much fun shopping for guys :) And I finally found a b-day present for my dad (not H&M tho) and a little treat for myself, a cute dress from Forever 21 :)

Saturday night

2007-05-08T19:05:00.000-07:00

Yay! I could finally upload some pics from Sat night at Rage, one of the hottest gay clubs in WeHo, with my gorgeous friends, K, T and miss J!

Beautiful day

2007-05-08T00:26:00.000-07:00

I'm just about to go to sleep after a wonderful sunny day. It started off with a 2 hour powerwalk along the waterline at Palisades Beach, it was really hot today (34 C!!!) but it's gonna get colder at the end of the week so I better enjoy it while it last.

My legs still hurt from some good dancing and partyin' on Saturday night with some friends (I'll see if I can upload pics later) but tomorrow I have the day off and going to the Beverly Center for some gift-shopping for friends and family before I go home to Sweden (only like 3 weeks left!) I can't wait!

Goodnight people, see ya tomorrow :)

So cute!

Potluck!

2007-05-05T09:28:00.000-07:00

Today there's a potluck at work in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Potluck is kinda like Swedish "Kntykalas" where everone brings a dish, drinks or dessert and I suspect it'll be quite a feast considering how much we all like to eat :)
I got talked in to bringing Swedish meatballs so I stayed up last night until 1'oclock (yawn!) making apprrox. 4000 meatballs (rough estimate) taht I know will be gone in about 2 seconds!

Now I know how my dad felt when he had to make waffles for my bro's birthday party, he kept making waffle after waffle and we all kept eating really fast until it was all gone and daddy never even got to sit down at the table with us! Aaaah, the selfishness of a child...

Update: Grrr, for some reason I can't upload pics, you'll have to wait 'til later :(

Jail next for Paris!

2007-05-04T21:08:00.000-07:00

Yup, finally a jury who dared sentence a VIP to jail time! She'll be doing 45 days total and begin serving her sentence on June 5th, I just hope she learns a good lesson and doesn't get special treatment...

Our new home

2007-05-03T23:55:00.000-07:00

Yes yes, I promise to post pics soon (it still needs some tidying up tho!) but I just find it weird that we've only been living here for a couple of weeks and already it feels so much more like a "home" rather than just a place to live, than our first apt here in LA ever did, and we lived there for over 1 ½ years! I love this new place!

A true awww moment

2007-05-03T10:16:00.000-07:00

Internet is back!

2007-04-28T23:33:00.000-07:00

Jeez, one week without internet is... an... incredibly... long... time!!! We finally moved all our stuff to the new apt and got internet and cable installed today *yay* I'll write more about the new place and everything else that has happened this past week (some pretty exciting things actually!) tomorrow when it's not midnight and I have to go to work the next morning *yawn*

Btw, thanks for all the nice comments about me and my husband! You guys are too sweet :)

Gd'night!

My husband

2007-04-20T10:06:00.000-07:00

Just watching MTV series "Engaged and Underage" about young couples (under 22 yrs) getting ready to get married and most of the time at least one of their families is against it.

I guess I'm lucky that both my parents and H's parents were ok with us getting married at such a young age, my parents might not have been thrilled but they've always trusted me to make my own mistakes or success.
Anyway, I got a quite interesting email a couple of days ago from a girl who just started reading my blog and she wrote (in Swedish)

"While I really like your blog I think it was really stupid of you to get married to early, you can't honestly believe that you and your husband are going to last forever!"

Oh, hi? Is it.. is it your life? Oh, it's mine? I see... I get to make my own decisions? Nice one...
Trust me, everybody had an opinion when we got married and while my absolutely closest friends were supportive, a lot of people simply said "You're an idiot!"
Well guess what, I know about divorce, my parents are divorced, I know that some relationships don't last and I don't believe in living together if you can't make each other happy (no, not even for the kids) but as long as me and my husband love each other and are happy together, let us decide if our marriage is worth it or not please, cause right now, I feel that marrying H was one of the best things I ever done!

We've been watching the video over and over again at work today, it's clear that he was seriously disturbed but that doesn't make it any less tragic, unbelievable...sad. I can't help but thinking about Anna Lindh, another victim of a mentally messed up man who couldn't control himself or get help. The mind is such a powerful killer.

Oh the bags...

I'm not normally a fan of the Louis Vuitton monogram, but I love the speedy shape!
Marc Jacobs sure knew what he was doing when he created this beauty...

Oh no...

Don't get me wrong, I love Adriana Lima, she's one of the few models out there who's not stressing to be a size 0 (she's actually a size 6-8!) and yes, she is even more gorgeous IRL, but what..is..she..wearing???? This horrible Vegas cocktail waitress/spandex-sleeves/pencil skirt-onepiece should be buried now and never be seen again! *Yuck!* Oh and by the way hun, it's April, not November... Jeez...

Larry Birkhead! Yay! He was my best bet and thankfully for darling little Dannilyn Hope he also seems like a fairly normal person who actually wants to take care of her, not to mention that the little baby's money will easily pay for Larry's gigantic lawyer-bill!

However, I have a hard time believing that Anna Nicoles' mom Virgie Arthur and her former lawyer/lover/reality co-star Howard K Stern will give up the fight that easily...

Only time will tell....

So sick...

2007-04-10T12:59:00.000-07:00

Yes, again! You'd think the weather would keep me healthy, but these constant temperature changes are killing me! Not literally of course...

We've been trying to move this past weekend, a quite pathetic sight I'm sure, since both me and my husband are having the mother of all colds, but nevertheless we've one to IKEA, returning with not only a bed and a dresses, but of course the obligatory candy (Daim and Marabou) and of course meatballs :)

The trouble with Skype is...

2007-04-06T09:59:00.000-07:00

..that it won't take my freaking payment! I've tried several times now to refill my credits and every time it just says "This very simple task that is the whole point of Skype is not working because it's stupid", or something to that effect...

Anyone know what's wrong?

My first official styling job!

2007-04-04T22:59:00.000-07:00

Ok, so pretty much what I do everyday is shop for other people, sometimes for a gift, sometimes "I need a cute top to go with these pants"-kinda thing, and once in a while somebody will come in and say "I need a completely new wardrobe" meaning everything from underwear to a coat, and trust me, I love my job, it's always a challenge!

Today however, one of my regulars come in, she works for a record company and comes in all the time looking for clothes for her clients and today she brought with her Emma Anzai of Sick Puppies (an Aussi indie rock band, which I- to be honest- never heard of besides the Free Hugs film, if you haven't seen it you have to! It's too sweet, such a simple thing can bring so much happiness), anyway she needed an outfit for tomorrows (April 5th everybody!) Jay Leno show, so I picked one out for her and now I'm rediculously excited to see it on air tomorrow night!!!

Kate Moss is featured in the latest issue of STYLE magazine.
Just think, between the coke and the (absolutely awful) naked pics of her boyfriend, I actually managed to forget that Kate is a beautiful, natural woman...how about that...

Moving

2007-04-03T07:46:00.000-07:00

This week has been beyond bad when it comes to blogging, I know! All we've done is packing up our stuff and started moving in to the new apartment *yay*, it takes a while considering we only have a small BMW to drive all our stuff in, but box by box, we're getting there :) I can't wait!

Yes, she IS orange!

2007-03-31T08:24:00.000-07:00

OMG! So yesterday, the designer of all designers walk in (not necessarily style-wise speaking, but you know who she is!); Donatella Versace!

Now, I'm used to celebs that don't make a fuss when they come in to the store, they come in regular clothes and mostly alone, maybe with a PA or something at most, well she didn't. After all, it Donatella we're talking about! She rolled up in a huuuge limo and came in with two huuuge bodyguards that wouldn't let anyone near her. Also, I've always thought she looks pretty tall and got a little more meat on her bones, but honestly, she's tiny! She's 'bout 5'3'' and almost Nicole-skinny, yeez, I do wonder where Allegra gets it...

Once a diva, always a diva

2007-03-28T07:34:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was the first time I met an "old-time" movie star, none other then miss Lauren Bacall!
Granted, she's actually still making movies and have been for the past 60 years, including her big break "To Have and Have Not" with
Humphrey Bogart (who she married shortly after) when she was only 19 years old and "How to marry a millionaire" with Marilyn Monroe!

Needless to say I was extra excited when I saw her walk through the door, but let me tell ya...Boy, is she still a diva! These days, we'd call it a bitch btw... Don't get me wrong, it's easier to accept it when she's a legend who I admire, but I still think she could have been nicer, after all, we do get movie stars in all the time that have been treated like kings and queens for years but still manage to be perfectly polite and civilized to us "regular" people!

I'm now featured on Girltalk.se, one of the few, IMO, good Swedish sites that mix it up with some juicy gossip, beauty tips and more! Check it out :)

And, yes, I know that part sounded like and infomercial...

Crazy week!

2007-03-26T11:04:00.000-07:00

Jeez, I've been out of it for a while now!

This weeks:

Activity: Packing up our stuff for moving + going to IKEA's website and dreaming of all the new furniture I wanna get

Celebs: Talk show-host Ricki Lake came in to work, and so did my all time favorite Reese Witherspoon, gorgeous blond as usual (even if I think she looked fantastic as a brunette as well! Should I? Shouldn't I?? Oh god, all these fab blonde's turned brunettes look amazing, but I'm scared I'd regret it!)

I didn't see it coming: DH hottie Jesse Metcalfe checking into rehab for his alcohol problem, which came as a total surprise to me! Well, in my defense, he's so hot nobody will notice that drink in his hand... At least he's taking care of it before it's too late (take notes Lindsay)

Visitor: My friend and former co-worker lifeguard, R, from Sweden! Yay, it was so good to see him again!

Party pics!

Here are some pics from last weekends part with my girls :)

Filming with the stars!

2007-03-20T19:00:00.000-07:00

Today it was time for no 2 on my list, I got up at 04.00, dressed up in my best seventies outfit, took the bus to downtown and spent the whole day on the set of Semi-Pro, a new movie about a basketball team in the 70's with
Will Ferrell, Woody Harrelson and Andre 3000!!!

It was so much fun, the actors were cracking us up, we cheered, laughed and had an amazing time!
Yes, I was just an extra, and yes maybe I'm getting ridiculously excited over doing the same thing over and over again for 8 hours, but the truth is; I love the atmosphere at a movie-set, especially a big one!

I also made some great friends, 2 very nice guys from Arkansas and one of them (don't kill me Nicole) looked exactly like Adam Brody!!! OMG, they could have been twins if it wasn't for this guy, J, had darker eyes. Even similar voices for crying out loud!

Now I'm just anxious to see if we actually made it in to the movie... and I have to wait a whole year to find out!

She's gorgeous, but what else is new?

Time for some good news!

2007-03-14T19:49:00.000-07:00

Yay, we finally finally finally, after EIGHT LONG MONTHS of searching, calling, emailing people and looking at crap shack after crap shack, we... found... an apartment!!!

It's been insane, let me tell ya, finding a decent-sized apt that accepts pets in Santa Monica is a bitch! But yesterday, we went to look at this 1 bed/1 bath on 12th st (sooo close to the beach and 3rd st!) and it was really nice :) hardwood floors all the way (very unusual since basically everyone has carpet). walk-in-closet, huge windows and the piece de resistance: Washer and dryer in the apartment!!! Now we're spending about $20/month on laundry which might not sound like a lot but it adds up fast!

It's in a really nice neighbourhood too! Palm trees along the street and grass everywhere :)

I'm so happy! hihi!

Still here...

2007-03-14T07:26:00.000-07:00

... but not very active :( I've just been so busy this week and I don't reall even have time to write anything now, but here's what's coming up:

1. Some good news (it finally finally happened!!!)

2. Something exciting (don't wanna jinx it by talking about it to soon)

3. People are visiting *yay*, I love when Swedish people visit :)

See you soon guys!

*mwah*

The perfect date

2007-03-11T20:33:00.000-07:00

Tonight my husband surprised me by taking me out on a date! He took me to one of our favourite restaurants and then to Baskin Robbins for dessert :) Then we walked home in the 25 degree night, eating ice cream and having one of those nights where we laughed so hard we cried and just had a really nice time together! I love you hun!

Wanna help me choose?

It's a beautiful day!

Ugly Betty is beautiful!

2007-03-03T20:00:00.000-08:00

Yup, America Ferrera came in to the store today and boy, is she gorgeous! She had no makeup on but her skin is flawless, and, she's tiny! I mean, in pictures she looks a little bigger than your average LA-star, but I guess the camera really does add 10 pounds cause she's just a little bigger than me, I'd say prob a size 4-6!

Hope you can finally find peace

Here we go again...

2007-03-02T07:46:00.000-08:00

So Angie filed another set of divorce papers to adopt a Vietnamese kid. Isn't it time to slow down a bit?

She has said in the past "If we're going to raise 10 kids we're going to do it while we're young" Ok, I get that, I wanna raise my kids while I'm fairly young too, but stop and think for a second there Mia Farrow, when you and you're husband are in couples therapy and you already have three kids that you move around with every 6 months or so, maybe see how it works out for a bit before throwing another baby in to the mix?

Not hot!

2007-03-01T19:49:00.000-08:00

Ok, can anyone, anyone, point out what's hot about this girl??? She looks like a 65-year-old woman with fried her and too big shoes! Not to mention the more serious part, she's obviously sick, you never get well from an eating disorder, it's always there and when your shoes are wider than your legs, you need help!
