IAMNOTAROBOT

This is a really chill tune.
Kinda haunting.

To listen when Saturday has turned to Sunday and everyone is out partying except your best friends who are watching Depeche Mode live videos.
I just need to sleep because I have to wake up at seven to get my stuff to the fleamarket. I usually go to bed at three. At least I'm pretty consistent about one thing...

I had a really fun day today. My friend called me 10.50 to ask me where I was. In my bed of course, the god damn frog noise as my ring tone waked me up. I was supposed to wake up hours earlier to get to her house so she could photograph me for her school, and I was supposed to do that a week earlier, if I hadn't slept the day and missed her three calls. I felt like such a lousy friend, especially because the night before I had read stuff why people are so miserable and stupid nowadays. One of the points was that they don't do friend things anymore, favors. So, I got up, put on the same clothes I've worn for a week and two minutes later I was running to the bus, no time to find gloves and beanie, ear infection and all. And I had really fun time posing outdoors in knee-highs and minidress and coughing inside every 15 minutes when we took a break. Five hours later and I was doing the same thing for another friend in a graveyard, but this time the dress was replaced with a morning robe. It was raining, dark and the stones were wet. But it took only five minutes, and I bet you'll love the outcome of both. As Woody Allen said, 90 percent of life is just showing up. Between these two shoots, we also had an exciting meeting about something that's happening next year with DINOSAURUXIA.

Sometimes I just feel like...like I need someone in my life who would be just like, dude, don't worry, everything's going to be amazing.

Maybe it's just because then I could be like, dude, fuck off, my friends told me that already!

IDEAS AS OPIATES

Dear Life,




I really like this Acne's Pre-Spring 10 dress...could you be patient with my will try to sew similar out from extra black silk I have? Or maybe modify the Karl Lagerfeld for H&M dress that looks kinda similar?

Ps. Why do I have ear infection this week? Could it go away soon, because I would really love to see Fuck Buttons, Neon Indian and dance to Skream next week, since I missed Miike Snow and Zebra&Snake this week because of it? I think it would be fair.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE THERE?

I think everything woven is going to be a huge trend, straws, leather, everything. Straw bags especially, I have two already. My new shoes are from Zara and I love them because of the woven front, that makes them look like expensive shoes in the pages of Vogue Paris, it's all in the details when it comes to shoes. Plus I just discovered that my other Zara pair, last Autumn's Balmain knock-offs, are also owned by Geraldine Saglio. Weird because...Vogue Paris and Balmain.. but amazing in the same time.

Ps. I'll be sharing a table and selling my old clothes this Sunday at Valtteri. Let me tell you, I have some mint stuff, faux furs, shiny blazers and plaid shirts and everything, it's just that I have them double the amount I need. I'm sure some of you would love them in your wardrobe!

VERY SPECIAL

HERE'S HOW TO START A FUCKING AWESOME 19TH BIRTHDAY PARTY:

1. GET THE CAVA FROM THE UPPER SHELF, YOU'RE WORTH IT. TOAST. MAKE YOUR FRIEND'S MOM GIVE YOU LIFE ADVICE: "EDUCATION CORRELATES WITH BEING RICH AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE UNDERSTOOD YOU WANT TO BE. OF COURSE IT'S DIFFERENT WITH ART AND SUCH..."

2. HAVE AN AMAZING ALCOHOL JELLO CAKE!!!

3. DUDE, YOU SO NEED ANOTHER CAKE TOO. ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO EAT & DRINK MORE. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE FUN, SPILL DRINKS (PREFERABLY THE WHOLE PUNCH BOWL..) AND THROWING UP.

4. MAKE DRINKS WITH 1/2 BACARDI 1/2 LOLCAT SODA, ONE ICE. STRAIGHT IF YOU'RE BADASS. NO ONE WILL LIKE THEM BUT THAT'S THE PROMISE OF ADULTHOOD AND BEING LIKE 50 CENT.

5. MAKE YOUR FRIEND TAKE OUT HER PARENTS BOTTLES AND POSE WITH THEM BEFORE OPENING. THINK ABOUT CHUCK BASS.

+ OF COURSE YOU NEED LOVELY PLAYLIST IN THE BACKGROUND, WITH PAN PIPES, CHOIRS, DUBSTEP AND 50 CENT.

++ HAVE PHOTOGRAPHY STUDENT BESTIES CAPTURING THE MOMENTS. THIS LOT IS BY SANNA LEHTO XX

PUT MY HEAD BACK IN THE SAND, IT'S OK

Me by the uberstylish Sophie! Looove the feel in this picture, it's a snapshot with Holga, taken in our schoolyard. Yes, sometimes I go to school. I'm covering my cracky lips with my hand haha!

I'm wearing mom's jewelry, lost the other earring a while back that I'm not happy about AT ALL and the jacket is secondhand Zara.

I had so much fun at Mums launch at Diesel + Siltanen yesterday = going to be in lots of drunken pictures today looking horrible...and I must remember to pick up the magazine itself because I forgot yesterday. I can't remember the content but it smelled good, expensive, Swedish! Also my new shoes start to hurt after five hours.

/////YAY SO TODAY I'M CELEBRATING MY BIRTHDAY!!! ACIDKIDS AT 6. LINJA!!! Before that, lolcat soda and alcohol jello cake in shape of a pony....this is going to be amazing! My friend also wanted to take pictues of me in the graveyard....////////

Ps. R.I.P DAUL KIM! I remember when I was 16 and loved her blog texts about raving. How did this happen?

SIPPIN BACARDI LIKE IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

Photography Sirpa Lehto (though I cropped it a little, loose shirt and weird position is not a win situation!)
I'm wearing H&M necklace, Zara tee and a torn disco ball we found from our cozy backstage at Turku's Dynamo.

Tomorrow I have lots of school, then Thursday is Mums magazine launch and Taxi Taxi at Siltanen, looking forward to both. And to my 19th birthday 21.11, it's going to be wild but no scars for anyone ok! I've also got an eye on amazing open-toe wedges and a cool jacket, maybe I'm going to gift myself with them...

I'm having my birthday here:
ACIDKIDS at 6.Linja 20.11 !!!

If you want to come and possibly get inside for a little cheaper, send an email with your name to me: maria.tasula@gmail.com and I'll let you know!

I'm just listening to In Da Club instrumental and reading Birgitte Bardot's biography...and I have no idea why..

EVERY TIME YOU SEE ME, I'M THE FIRST ONE TO GO

Yeah, moments instead of things, if you know what I mean. I hate that word!
