There is a new law in France where if you download stuff illegally they will cut your internet access and make you pay a big fine. Boo :( I don't download much, but I do download the shows I follow. Even if I would wait until they came to France they would be dubbed in French and I can't stand that. Boo! I hope to figure out a way around it...
Jun is going back to Tokyo again next week, pretty much permanently this time. So I made him model for me one last time :)

The last two weeks have been soooo hot. I kindof like it, but my backpack makes me so sticky on my back >_<. It's finally a bit cooler now though. Sam is complaining less :P
Did I say I'm going to Amsterdam at the end of the month? Can't be bothered to check :P I'm seeing my friend Maladi. It will be nice! I haven't been there since I was 17... I was on a short exchange program to Utrecht and we did a day trip to Amesterdam. Hopefully I'll get to see a bit more this time. LEUK :)
Hmm what else. We went to Japan expo, this big convention outside of Paris. We managed to sneak in by mistake lol. We parked in the backstage parking lot and suddenly we were inside. Oops! It was fun to see though. Those cosplay nerds look so awkward. It's like when straight guys dress up in drag...there is there crazy costumes, but zero charisma :P

| so here's victor and jun |

Victor went back to Sweden. Bye bye! Maybe he will come back again later in the summer for more model stuff.
Also the mouse is gone now...the one that has been living in the apartment since september. These last weeks it has been looking not so good. We discovered it had lost an eye (!!) and the rest of it was looking a bit...worn :P So I caught it and Sam put it outside. It was a little sad, but she was really looking terrible in the end. And she had a fun life here these last months I think...
I finally paid my photobucket, so I'm good for a year now. Phew!
Took these photos of Jun and Victor the day before Victor left. I'm stupid not to have asked Jun to model for me before. He has a really nice body and he looks nice in photos. I borrowed Lolo's Bronica (medium format camera) again for these. I'm so lucky to know him. He is the one who helps me develop and scan the negatives. It takes a long time, so I really appreciate ^_^

Oh la la where did all you people come from?! Suddenly so many add me and comment my entry. I'm guessing some fashion community? If you're going to stick around, introduce yourself ^_^
Man such sweet weather this week. I love it! I love the HEAT :)
Yesterday Koko did a birthday picnic by the Louvre and it was really nice. Most of the evening I was the only person who was not a Japanese girl, but after a while Victor arrived with a Belgian model boy. Lennaart? Shit I don't know how to spell his name. He is REALLY cool though. Piano student, and he speaks fluent Swedish. I was so impressed :P
Oh and there was Sayako visiting from London ^_^ She is graduating there this summer. It's that big fashion school. St.Martins? Martens? Whatever. The famous one :P Koko is in that one too, but she is here interning in Dior for a while. I think? I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about lol.
Oh and OMG so good food. I'm lucky to know these people.

When I was a little kid I was a Michael Jackson FANATIC. I had lots of the cassettes and a big poster of the Dangerous album cover hanging over my bed. I used to think the video for Smooth Criminal was the most awesome thing in the whole world :P I'm not one of those people who start crying and emo tweeting every time a celebrity dies, but it's really strange to think about it this time...
Anyway, it's fashion week and Victor has been doing about one show a day. Tonight was the Galliano show and I was lucky enough to have a backstage pass again. It was at this old abandoned public swimming pool in the 16th. There's a bunch of photos below...

I started running in the mornings a few weeks ago, but i stopped because my ankles started *really* hurting. I tried again today, but the pain is back. Gah! I just want to get in shape :(
We had some people over not so long ago, mostly Japanese. Took some photos...

So bad at updating lately eh? I sortof blame my photobucket account a little...or the fact that I didn't reupgrade to pro again yet. You can see the photos again now because the monthly counter reset, but once I reach my bandwith limit they will block again. Will hopefully take care of it soon though :)
I've been sick again, but now I'm good again ^_^
Victor has been really busy all the time he was here. He was shooting for Vogue all sunday so look for him in the autumn issue of that one. I want to do a shoot with him and Jun before he goes back to Sweden. We'll see if we can find a good time...
Fashion week is this week, but I probably won't be working again. We'll see. I'll be happy either way :)

...but that's just how it is sometimes :)
I'm really sorry for sometimes taking so long to reply to comments. I can't really blame it on anything else than bad habits. I always get back to everyone eventually though, usually around the time I post the following entry. Sorry sorry! Please don't think I don't care about them, I am really happy to get comments, even if it is just a little pip or a plop :)
Victor arrived yesterday, and this time he is staying with us for all the rest of the month. Yay! He's doing castings all this week it seems.
Umm I don't know what to write, even if it's been so long. I've been in a really good mood today, thanks to a package that arrived from Florida. (thank yooou timothy!)
And even if I'm quiet on livejournal sometimes, I'm still updating my twitter all the time (too much! lol). I know I've put this link here before, but here it is again: twitter.com/siphotwit

It was my favorite show! Wow Galliano always do really spectacular stuff. They created this corridor tunnel thing using lasers and it was "snowing" glitters. I can't really describe it and you can't see it in the photos, but I'll put a video from the show at the end of this entry so you can at least sort of see.
Also I had a backstage pass, so woo hoo for more interesting photos :) I wish you could all see these on a dark background instead of all this white. Hopefully I'll get to fix that soonish.

All yesterday was really warm and nice and then in the evening there was a huge lightning storm over Paris. It's so nice when you live as high up as this. People keep asking for photos, but I'd rather enjoy it than wait around with my finger on the shutter button.
I'm posting some shots from the JC Castelbajac show. Yeah, I didn't know who it was either lol. Aparantly he is obsessed with Andy Warhol and his clothes are always this wild. There were less snobbing fashion people there, but instead there was the trendy snobs. Think Colette, if you know that shop.

Ugh I remember that morning, it was terrible. I overslept and the metro train stopped because of some suspicious container somewhere. So I was late! I got some nice shots though, it was a cool show. Lily Allen was theeere :P It's so weird having these celebs standing a few feet away. Lots and lots of rich American people at Chanel's show. Tan people covered with golden bling bling. Oh and it was and Grand Palais, which is sort of a landmark in Paris. Really nice!

OK I've seen people putting their different Top 10 lists here and there, so I'm making one.
TOP TEN MUSIC VIDEOS EVER according to ME :)
I don't know why, but I've always been really passionate about this. I get pissed off when artists and bands have shitty music videos and I get really excited when they have good ones. Let me know if you agree or not and tell me which ones you want to see represented. Oh and they are in no particular order.

Woh! My harddrive actually fried for some reason a couple of days ago and I was without a computer there a while. The files are all rescued though and I have a new harddrive thanks to Lolo. I don't know what we would do without him! ^_^
&& It seems Victor will be staying with us for half of June. Woo hoo :) Hopefully we can do some nice shoots.
The May issue of iLook is out in China so I finally have permission to post the shots I did at Paris fashion week. Not so interesting for you fashion addicts I guess, as this was in march, but maybe for the rest of you. This lot is from the Givenchy show. Kanye West was there, but I don't have a photo of him :P

Been trying to learn some adobe video editing software too. It's really difficult, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Hopefully I'll have something for you soon. Stay tuned lol.
Oh and I forgot to tell, but I posted an entry to ohnotheydidnt by mistake the other day. I was like shit I just posted to a community and I don't know which one! Then a day later I have a mail from them saying "this is not news!" lol. Oops...
Anyway, here are some more shots from Iku's birthday party last weekend :)

Wow so shitty weather last week. I hope the sun is here to stay now ^_^
Norway won Eurovision this year! Woohoo! I don't think anyone ever won with that many points before. Crazy :D
Also, yesterday was the national day of Norway, or constitution day or whatever. Big celebration there. (i've made entries about it before, with photos. click heeere) So hipp hurra for Norway :)
Oh and I was actually sortof mugged the other night. A big scary black guy threatened to "punch me in my fucking face" unless I gave him my phone, so I did. Hopefully I'll have a new one this week. It's so weird to be without one though!
&& thank you Andy in Los Angeles for your card! I got it a while ago, but I kept forgetting to mention it. So thank you ^_^
The photos below are from Iku's birthday party this past weekend. I realise I'm still a bit awkward with the new camera, but I don't really worry about it :) I have some video too, but it seems my computer isn't really happy when trying to handle that, so I'll see if I can work that out somehow.
