X and the city
hola i'm back! writing this from the countryside in jylland where im working this week teaching a class called GOSSIP! anyways its been a while as always, so here's the up and downs of my spring lyfestyle:
X and the city
i was in New York for a minute and had the best time as always. identifying as an american girl in DK gets me in trouble all the time, so it felt good to come home to mother. NYC girls are dramatic and chic. the grind is harder, cus they have bigger dreams than scandi girls yet no welfare system to support them. these girls know how to hustle and i feel at home here. in nyc u can be a creative director/trendforecaster/artist/dj/blogger/latte artist/hot bitch and no one asks u "so what do u actually do?" ppl dont question your bernadette coorporation thing out here cus no one sticks to one title unless its artist lol. saw pippa garner in the whitney biennale, was jamming in washington square park and had a blue smoothie in elizabeth street garden. met my friend miss claire for lunch. she's my favorite designer in the city. SJP is gagging already and soon the whole world. went to nowadays on sunday and had the most fab time: FAT stacks aka superbass soundsystem and hip hop in the garden. whats not to like? + staff there is iconic. left the girls and their designer baggies in a tent and went Xploring on my own. i'm so over the lobotomy remedies and sticking to classics now. there is a reason they have been here since the 90s. mouth chewing, eyes winking, saying i love you and meeting strangers on the floor. thought i was over clubbing but when i act like have never been to one before i fall in love all over again. the next day the motherbeat was pounding inside me and i was walking through brooklyn listening to d'angelo and thinking about world peace. max and mischa j'adore. went to boston and was in the isabella gardner museum. this place is so iconic. walked behind a woman carrying a black birkin and a bedazzled magic stick. STOP!
Bella sky high is an artist
just before i left for NYC i had an exhibition at copenhagen contemporary. the launch had a performance, a flash mob, a koncert and two dj sets. that was a lot tbh haha. its up for one more week. go check it out. get some crushers or a tanktop and read my magazine "everything is real" in the freudian sofa. i also did a print collab with them called copenhagen cuntemporary.....had a portrait in a newspaper and was cringing so hard tbh. best advice i was given is to never read the comment section on ur feature... ignorance is bliss. <3
XTIANIA
xtania is popping af as always but its popping extra hard now cus pusher street is shut down and turned into a flea market. i see a lot of cph ppl and not just foreign tourists out here and thats so fab. keep it coming. lets do circle talks and hold hands. we threw a fab 420 party at månefiskeren with the longest line-up in town and it was too cute. nothing hits like a stoner get down:) i also went to byens lys and saw a graffiti movie. dj was scrathing on the decks before the movie started: 1,1 hours of trains passing by the cph stations in 2011 with an electro soundtrack. oldskool therapy but make it indie.
PRINCIPE NIGHT IN LISBOA
omg and then i went to lissabon to visit my friend who goes to that art theory school. we went on the beach, to the museum, saw a b&w film in the movie theatre at 11pm, had espressos and celebrated the country's 50 year freedom anniversary. and then very unexpectedly went to the most beautiful club i have ever been to. i didnt know places like this could still exist in this age of gentrification. 100% diy club but so elevated. greek ruin with baroque curtains and neon laser light. damn. was so gagged and then what happens? it's happened to be a label night of principe the most portuguese music i know and i have always had this silly dream of going to a batida party if i ever came to lisboa. dj dannyfox, niggafox, lokowat was playing and i was gagginG!! had to travel the next day in the early morning with my bf to faro. slept on the train and sat on the back on a scooter with my boo for the rest of my portugal trip....
spring is so here
