greetings from the lovely Budapest (and Vienna, of course). Sziget festival, which is often described as 'eurowoodstock', lived up to its reputation and more, i loved it! huge, very lively and multicultural festival with plenty of stages and tents. some of the performing were Prodigy, Lily Allen, Offspring, Faith No More, Placebo, Manic Street Preachers and Bloc Party. i can heartily recommend it to everyne who enjoys festivals. but a word of warning: 5 days of partying is tough!!!

Faith No More


Eric Prydz was there too BUT, he disappointed us girls who were ready to do an aerobics lesson - he didnt play THE song!




me and ~natashalyonne


*coxi and ~natashalyonne on our way to a pool parrrrty in Vienna. this was the first in a series of Viennese nights that we spent together. good times.

rest of the pics are in my Flickr; Vienna and Sziget/Budapest

and speaking of that cunning MF *coxi... he got unbanned i think the day i went to Vienna. last time i visited 3+ yrs ago it was the opposite. i seem to have an effect on things but are we not glad to have the drama back or what? Severin has sworn to me he has no time (nor interest?) to cause general chaos and disruption this time however... we shall see... but welcome back


Istanbul i decided indeed requires another visit from me. i asked my boss if i could just go to the local office to work for a couple weeks, i normally work from home now, just 15h/week, so it really doesnt matter where i am, i just need an internet connection. but i wouldnt mind seeing the working life in Turkey, ive been in contact with the local office because of my current job anyway, so why not visit them. that worked out, so im going in midway September if you want to meet up, do let me know (via note) im pretty excited, going alone, having to work...a different kind of set up than usual. the flights to Istanbul are only 200e (290$), for those who wonder... its a big mystery, flying from Vienna for example which is closer, is more expensive. how do u explain that? and flying to many places closer to finland is more expensive too. Finnair and Turkish Airlines have just both worked out really good deals for me to enjoy. i cant really afford this but ...we only live once


what else... life continues to flow in its direction(s). some heartache here and there spices things up more than youd think but im still alive. i met my little sister in Vienna too, who is not so little anymore, she's 18!! and wanting to be a tattoo artist. i say go for it. would be cool to have her add some ink on me. im trying to be really thoughtful now though, i dont want to be a full work of fuckin art, need some bare snow white skin too. less 'snow white' lately though because of all my traveling this summer ive had to go up one degree in my make up shade, lol.

whats good is ive worked a bit with some photos, and even managed to post a couple. the foreign men series doesnt count as much though so reallt its just one. but its something. its very hard to find models for these type of erotic couple shots though, so if i wanted to continue shooting this stuff, which i do, well, its hard and be sure, ive asked around! i guess it just takes a while, need to take a few to show what im going for and so forth... any interested models in HELSINKI (or Istanbul, hehe) are welcomed to sign up!

feel free to tell me whats going up ith you too. im already getting used to hearing about some of your lives... its odd, when i might not even have a clue which country someone is from but their nickname is familiar and i know their studuying this and that and broke up and whatever... i sometimes fail to reply but i guess everyone knows that. i try though. i read everything anyway though.
