Twin Peaks

There was recently an event called "A Night in Twin Peaks" in Helsinki. I saw Twin Peaks for the first time when I was 12. I was really intrigued by the series... the first episode already grabs you, and you just wanna know what happened to poor, beautiful Laura Palmer. I don't think I have to go on explaining :) the series is just unique and mysterious. It has it's own feel and wonderful characters etc. What made a huge impact for me was the music too, my mom bought me the soundtrack CD as a present for my 13th birthday. I loved the music back then and still love it.

...and agent Dale Cooper! My first and only TV crush ever! I never liked boybands or any musicians in my youth, but agent Cooper was the coolest! :D Smart and handsome as he is :)

Anyway.... "A Night in Twin Peaks" was a wonderful Twin Peaks fan event in Helsinki and I was lucky enough to be a small part of it :) I was one of the working girls from One Eyed Jacks ;)
The guests of the event got the opportunity to be photographed my amazing Atelieri O. Haapala and I got my Twin Peaks image as well. So here are some pics of the One Eyed Jacks Girls at the famous Twin Peaks Black Lodge :)

Here is a video about the event (in finnish)

Dr.Sketchy - (S)He's Got The Look

Here are some pics of the latest Dr Sketchy event I went to. The theme was He/She's got the look and the model was the fabulous Lola Vanilla/Bent van der Bleu. I had a great time drawing! Me and my glass of wine had so much fun! My drawings didn't turn out much, but I leave the blood, sweat and tears at home and just enjoyed the moment and the very talented model. 

I would greatly advice Dr. Sketchy events to anybody who likes to draw! These events are taking place pretty much all over the world, so seek the one closest to you! :)

Helsinki Burlesque Festival 2013

What a weekend! Me and Asko went to the glittery Helsinki Burlesque Festival. Such a mindblowing event! It was a blast to see so many various acts! :) 
I really love watching burlesque, the audience can get so much involved as well; shouting,screaming and whistling. It's like being in a sport audience but much better ;)

Below are some pics from the festival. Obviously I had to get a photo together with the beautiful stars :) I was especially happy about meeting Dirty Martini. Can't believe I finally saw her amazing "Love America" act live!

Before the actual event I participated also in workshops of Angie Pontani and Dirty Martini. Asko had a photo project before the festival with the "Savage Girls" and you can see here some posters.

Giger exhibition in Tampere

Today we drove with my boyfriend all the way to Tampere just to see the H.R Giger exhibition. I must say that to me Giger is the greatest artist alive. I can not think of anybody else who would have such a unique style and be so skilled. I enjoyed the exhibition so much that I almost did not want leave.
In original the paintings were just amazing. You could see all the little details you never see in prints. Apart from all the amazing paintings and statues I really enjoyed the small things as well such as Gigers childhood drawings and essays.Photos from the exhibition:
