Time to pimp my hive... and myself for that matter! And to me, pimp it up = shop till you drop! But not when it comes to the money... those I´d rather keep in the bank or stuffed down my bra. No, when it comes to shopping I´m actually a real miser so to keep a balance between the shop till you drop thing and starring in my own hip-hop videos where the major cash flow is happening, yin & yang is a vital key - balance! After two shopping sprees á 15 hours (yes, there should be a warning label taking me out shopping) I can safely say that Dublin has a lot of places where you can go total bananas. But I´m gonna introduce you to two of my absolute favs: IKEA!... the land of opportunities and home to one of the most popular pieces of wood there is - Billy!... Billy the bookshelf. It's a bit of an irony that one of the first things I do in a new country is to be the most typical swede you can be. But if there's anything from my native country I truly love, it's...
So, I am blaming a royal for doing something. What did she do? What was that something that was her fault, that shook the continental plates all over the globe?... I will tell you now. In 1840, Queen Victoria chose to break fashion law, to not wear the traditional coronation robes when she married her cousin, Prince Albert... Instead, she chose (listen to this). she chose to wear a white dress. It was all over the newspapers around the world, a sensation. She was the top celebrity at the time and women just had to have her look and has been copied ever since. The colour white ha d upon this point represented virginity and purity but after the queens' coup, white now came to symbolize wealth and status, and who does not want to look like a million bucks on their wedding day? I absolutely do! So, today it arrived... ordered online and it is absolutely stunning... Too bad you cannot see it just yet. I took a big risk ordering a tailormade, fit for a queen, dress on...
We all know that flora can speak, and if you did not know this - now you know! Even one of my all-time favourite scary movie-makers M Night Shyamalamahaan has shown this in The Happening (love, love, love). Their language is far too complex for us Homo Sapiens to understand, but that has not stopped us from creating a language for them but for us to use ourselves. This is called Floriography - the art of communicating through different types of flowers. Giving flowers to someone on different occasions most of us has done at some point in our lives. To celebrate, to apologize... to say goodbye... But I had never thought about Floriography when I have purchased or picked my bouquets... I had only gone by their looks. What if the flowers I have given away has communicated something other than what I had in mind? Maybe I have been rude without knowing it, or declared an emotion I definitely did not mean to convey? There are flowers out there that suit certain situations o...
