Another day without a dress pic, but if it´s any consolation, I looked just dreadful:)) I was meeting a client so I had to put on something decent and conservative and came up with a 3-year old pink spotted dress from Banana Republic. Don´t get me wrong - the dress is absolutely pretty - just totally wrong on me! And I´m sure you have those dresses hanging around your closet as well? But I can´t get rid of it, because it´s still pretty, and somehow I hope one day it WILL be perfect....
Anyway...going to see my client I had to travel by train through the very outbacks of Sweden. It´s like true Stieg Larsson-country, if you know what I mean. Downridden factories, burned out buildings and loads of people in trainers and training clothes obviously with nothing important on their mind apart from walking the dog on a Friday morning. All young boys seem to be wearing black caps and most women wear men´s t-shirts and people qeue endlessly at Sandy´s because the one girl behind the counter is chatting to a friend, and they don´t even get pissed off!...Its like an alien planet out there! Most people are sweet and nice and talk in a language I understand, but still not...and after 9 hours I return home and feel like I´ve been in another world even though it was just Ludvika...
I left the Countryside 35 years ago and I never want to go back, but sometimes, just sometimes, I cant help wondering if they´ve got something I don´t.
And I also get so inspired by little scenes from reality - like what are three teenage Philippine girls doing playing Las Vegas Black Jack in Borlänge?
So this weekend will be the start of a new book project, me thinks. Wish me luck!!
