A slave in the land of vikings ...


If you tell me something is really hot fashionwise I will react with trying to avoid it. If I don´t happen to like it, of course, but that is my gut reaction. Do you like all your trendy fashion wear? I tell you that you let someone else make your choices. A slave, a fashion slave.
They will make you throw as much as they can every 6 months. It doesn´t matter if the item is fully usable. I am talking about the men in black suits. They don´t care about fashion themselves but they want you to do so. They are fortunate to be able to use their costumes until they fall apart by themselves. Why would a guy start showing his underwear if it wasn´t for someone up there? Who came up with that idea? Last week I saw a little kid ap. 3years. He could hardly walk since his trousers were hanging the cool way below his butt. The mother were wearing a Palestina scarf and looked like a fashion slave. I guess underpants must be much more expensive nowadays since guys are supposed to show their butt. Smart thing to do. Everyone should look the same from the inside out. I always go and eat sushi every week at this restaurant with the best sushi chef in Sweden. The funny part of this is the coolest persons who think they have their own fashion taste are the uncoolest ones, and they go there too. In my town Borås they have they started to wear Palestine scarfs as if they never wore anything else. In my world this is an attribute for symphathy with Palestinians, hugging trees or voting left. These girls are nothing of that sort. That would have been great if they knew about anything but the colour of their scarves. They read somewhere that this is hip and this are you supposed to wear if you would like to stay hip.
I can agree that some things in fashion can be great but if I think so I will probably also belive that before and after the fad has faded as well. I believe that quality and beatiful harmony of colours has nothing to do with fashion. I wish more people would trust their own instinct of what they like so that they could buy themselves more freetime instead of changing their wardrobe all the time. I think that is the most valuable thing missing here in Sweden.
Imagine yourself men in black suits sitting in their offices trying to figure out what you should wear so that you have to buy mostly new things. Don´t this piss you off?

Yesterday I saw a girl I recognize from my grammarschool. We use to pardy sometimes in the old times. I looked at her and she gained a little weight but laughed like always. She walked at the same time she said hello and said I am in a real hurry to the workout. I laughed and nodded. I recieved an mail from an old colliege yesterday as well I found him on the Internet few days ago. He was my favorit major while serving for the UN. He told a little bit about himself and that he was really buzy at the moment. I have wondered these years what he was doing. I just got a phonecall from an old friend who lives in Stockholm. She just happened to be in town and asked if we could have lunch. The time was 12 o clock and I was in the middle with my mother describing her different pillows J. Thats what happen in her life. So I passed the lunch but asked if she could meet me tomorrow instead. She said; no I am on my way back to stockholm at ten tomorrow. Wow I feel surronded by people running mentally. Do they think they will get a price at the end of the marathon. What is wrong with them or is it me? You tell me. I am a bit confused.

Hej Anna!

Alltså jag har missat det är med Palestinasjalarna. Måste nog rusa och köpa en imorgon :-)

Jag har varit inne på Tradera och försökt fynda overall. Skulle lagt mig för länge sen... angående modet är jag ingen slav och vill ha något som funkar med mycket så man slipper konsumera ihjäl sig. Gillar idén med Fair trade och hållbart samhälle.

Ha det jättebra!

About me

My photo
Borås, Västra Götaland, Sweden
Female, pretty ordinary if you ask me. Other people might say I am a bit odd like when I decided to go to Bosnia with weapon and uniform in a peace keeping unit for the UN few years ago. I wanted to be a part of something real with a good purpose. Some people say I lack humour. My friends always have to tell me when it is a joke otherwise I take everything seriously. I should be in the ironic generation, but I don't feel at home there.
