Thank you!

Thank you to the Ravishing Shangri-La Rubies for organizing such a wonderful night yesterday! Superthanks to the public and my co-performers <3 Now I have emptied my suitcase of glitter and packed a pair of flip-flops and my leopardprint sarong because early Tuesday-morning this gal is off to some sun and beach!!!

Tallinn vintage

Only 1,5h by ferry from Hellsinki and you are in an old, gorgeous Hansa-town: Tallinn. Last weekend I went for the vintage fair and for some serious shopping at Karnaluks, some good food and great company from a friend I seldomly get to hang out with these days. I´ve been to Tallinn a few times this Spring and I must say I love that city. So if you ever get a chance to go you should definetly do it. There are some great sights and shops and the old town, of course, is just beautiful.

The very regal bathroom interior at Gotthard´s hotel.

For my sisters <3

Found these or workshops!

Old taxi found outside the fair in Pirita.

The poster.

I don´t know the name of this band but they had some good rockabilly going on <3

Mysterious Tallinn- tomorrow!

Well, it´s not a road trip, but a boat trip! Come see belly dancers, fire show and Thee Dizzy Daisies tomorrow night in Tallinn!!! And don´t forget to join mine and Pepper Sparkle´s workshops on Saturday! I hope to see you there, will report asap after the trip ;) Have a magical weekend!

Berlin, baby.

Sometimes it is just better to let pictures speak. Leaving this city tonight, a lot to be seen still and I want to see this in the summer. It has been really good, a nice break before the madness of HBF starts. Tomorrow I am back to rehearsing and sports but tonight I shall still enjoy the wonderful cookings of my friends here with wine. This place is somewhat enchanting <3

 

In the mean time...

I have packed. 

I should say "packed". I don´t remember when was the last time I have thrown things in to a bad on such a whim to be honest :) We shall take Berlin by surprise, indeed. 

While I wait for Jirina´s photo´s from last Monday shoot here´s a "backstage" picture, me goofing around as usual. I hope to be able to post from Berlin, but if you hear nothing from me you should think the worst as in: she´s on a really cool trip! How can it not be! I´m not sure which one is in more need of this holiday and time together, me or the spouse. Anyway, hope you have a fabulous weekend and will get back to ya´ll latest next week!!! Be good (or if not good, then careful).

Ta!

Waiting for Berlin...

I´m two days away from the trip to Berlin...and I´m SUPER excited! We are staying with good friends, that always opens possibilities to see parts of the city one otherwise might miss. Hoping to meet up with a Bunny as well. Vintage shopping, museums, night life but really just a holiday and quality time with the spouse is at the top place here.
Coming back it´s heavy duty work for the final things on my number for HBF and then the festival week kicks in with the workshops and excitement!!! There are still tickets availeable for Friday and it´ll be as good as Saturday so don´t miss out here!

Here´s a little something that I have been getting my Berlin feelings up with ... Ta!
