fashion blog

We are in the year 2020 and that means a third decade of keeping this blog has started.  It sounds like a lot, perhaps like more years than it actually is, but nevertheless that is the case. During these years the internet has changed, of course. Blogging has changed. And  I have changed - would be rather terrifying if I hadn't. My first very first blogpost was about my 26th birthday and I will be 40 next year. The past years I have not had the same time to blog - as someone might have noticed (but not the 3746 spambots that happily keep on commenting about escorts and digital marketing) - but in moments blogging also felt too trivial, with all that has been going on in the world and society. I feel those who still hard core blog are so branded it's mainly just about sponsorship and product placement and I get it - blogging takes time and time is, after a certain amount of it at least, money. I am busy running businesses; both the studio and the showbiz and some kind of brand ...

Now that we have lived one week of June, lets have a look at May in thirtyone seconds!

Hong Kong Ballet 40th Anniversary Season Brand Video from Design Army on Vimeo . I am away performing in Turku but meanwhile here is some brain candy and eye orgasm for your Sunday!

Not totally sure whats going on, if I am standing still in space or what, as time seems to go faster day by day and year by year. So just like swish! April went by and here is what it looked like, compressed to one tiny second per day:

Not sure how it happened, but apparently the first quarter of this year has gone by already? That can only mean that It'll be Christmas again in no time! But first, lets set our minds on spring and the eventual summer! Here's what the switch from winter to spring looked like, and everything else and  in between, a second a day in March 2019.

Because March is almost over by now, let us naturally (dum di dum...) look at the month before that; one-second-a-day: February 2019 These are so fun to do and I love watching other's mini videos of their months!

The first month of 2019 went by, lets see how the rest of 2019 goes! This year I started with the collect-one-second-a-day-clips, which a lot of my friends did last year. (I coudn't start then as I missed the first month and my inner system would not allow me to not start on January 1.) A fun small way to gather memory snippets.

Lets end the week with some creative music playing. Or making. Orkestra Obsolete play Blue Monday using 1930s instruments  (BBC Arts) In Swedish there is actually a separate verb for playing and making music on an instrument, more in the sence of performing it or playing together:  musicera, as can you say ' musisoida ' in Finnish. One can refer to that as musicerande  (kind of like something that someone or some people were occupied with, or "the music that they were making" as in the present particle of the word. < I had to look that term up, as it is after all almost 20 years since I last had grammar, erhm). But there does not seem to be an English equivalent for such a word... Briefly and totally non-academically based on how other words and endings are used (for example a demonstration of something - to demonstrate ), I would make the word musicate up, but it already exists on the internet (not in Merriam Webster though) and means something else: to be absore...

Ok everybody! Long time no internet, and happy we-are-totally-living-in-what-was-once-sci-fi-future-2018! So, last year I was working in this production that will now be on TV1 starting March 29; Vintage-valtakunta: Here's the teaser clip! Sadly it won't show abroad, Finland only: Vintage-valtakunta | Teaser | Vintage-valtakunta

The other day we shot the music video for  our UMK song . The second look for the day.  That's a lot of brushing and hairspray there I tell you. ...and a lot of conditioner afterwards. A bunch of fabulous friends as well as our burlesqe students joined in on the shoot. My glitter boots are surprisingly comfy but after a whole day of dancing on an uneven concrete floor the only thing you want to do is take them off and put your feet high high up in the air.  It's good the behind-the-scenes interview was done only waist up. Wool socks for the win! Checking out the group dance shot with Antti; our director. I have worked with him on a few occasions before, when we shot Iskelmä Suomi for example. Shoot done! All the videos will be out on the 31st of December!
