Hairstylist+model= model + giraffe

Hairstylists often have a problem with models being too tall, and they solve it with standing on a chair to reach the hight where the air is thinner.. but as a consolation  I struggle in the same way when rehabilitating a giraffe in Africa..And i do not need a chair i need a ladder.. So guys Tall is the same as small, it just stretched a bit.

sharing is caring

Sharing is caring regardless of who you are or where you are from, whether you walk on two legs or four legs. The same thing counts for when you want something in life or you want to achieve something... cause if you want something you also have to dare to care, and when you have it its even better when you share.

Color guide for fall

 Have you ever wondered why we surround us with certain colors, why they change with the season, why we choose colors and what they mean.?
Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy.

Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark green is also commonly associated with money.

Whats your favorite color?

We might be big in Japan but....

When we go to Japan we end up being big in Japan,  I'm not talking about being famous, simply just being tall big, and yes its easy to see a tall norwegian in the masses of people i Tokyo. But WHen they come to Norway, or anywhere in the world they also become big in the country they are visiting. Not because they are tall or famous, but because they always travel in big groups. I mean yesterday in the Park in Oslo there was more Japanese tourists then norwegian people, and more japanese language then norwegian language to be heard. I love it, cause this way we can feel like we are traveling even though we are in the country we grew up. And once again you realize that the world is a house where every country is just another room in the house.

oh my How big we are!

I have a little delightful thought I would like to share to start off the day.

Sting sings about how fragile we are, but he forgot to mention how big we are, and how much bigger then ourselves we are. We look in the mirror and see what we know based on what written in our passport or what other people have told you.. e.g that I'm a 180 cm tall blonde girl.

But when you look at your own shadow it is much greater then you mirror reflection, so are we as people just like icebergs? Where you only see a small part of the total greatness? so with this way of thinking we can keep sailing our ship of life knowing that who we are is someone great, and that we must alway be on the look for other icebergs.

paint with all the colors of the fall

Boots, leather, bandanas, wool and Big chief pants is the way to dress if you want to conquer this fall from a tipi. You will stay warm, feel natural and look like a native all at the same time, how much closer can you get to being real without feeling its a big hassle and deal.

Do not miss The growth of the soil

This evening I went to see the play THE growth of the soild by Knut Hamsun, directed and acted out by  the norwegian Juni Dahr in a barn on an island outside Oslo.
The growth of the soil is the life story of a man in the wilds, the genesis and gradual development of a homestead, the unit of humanity, in the unfilled, uncleared tracts that still remain in the Norwegian Highlands. It is an epic of earth; the history of a microcosm. Its dominant note is one of patient strength and simplicity; the mainstay of its working is the tacit, stern, yet loving alliance between Nature and the Man who faces her himself, trusting to himself and her for the physical means of life, and the spiritual contentment with life which she must grant if he be worthy. Modern man faces Nature only by proxy, or as proxy, through others or for others, and the intimacy is lost. In the wilds the contact is direct and immediate; it is the foothold upon earth, the touch of the soil itself, that gives strength.
The story is epic in its magnitude, in its calm, steady progress and unhurrying rhythm, in its vast and intimate humanity. And Juni Dahr has created and recreated a nature and situation so abnormal that it is normal, so profound that you end up finding yourself. So wonderful and recognizing that you cannot stop applauding.
