"On stage...

… I make love to twenty five thousand people, and then I go home alone."

~Janis Joplin

I don't know how to describe it, but I've always had this fascination for this legendary singer and musician…

  

First of all; because of her famous voice, special sound and remarkable energy on stage.

I have deeply respect for her pioneership in spreading values such as equality for all humankind.

As a pioneer being a girl raising her voice and confronting her opinions…

She also rose up to be a style icon.

Spreading so much joy and feel with her music…

 

Having the hair that I love…

 

I actually wish you were here…

Wow...!

Four weeks passed like a swoosh! over my head since my last post -the last half of the last year has been so busy, I'm striving to keep you guys updated, but I can see you're following me on my instagram, so I'm really grateful for that and all of your likes!:) Thanx!:))

My camera is also out of business, so I hope you bear with me on the picture quality;)

Here's my four-week-cabaret-update;

Some weeks ago I did this shoot for a new brand called AoE -I can't say it enough; They really have a cool thing going on, you should try them out! Sustainable, Norwegian, properly expensive and fair-trade are clues and words for description!

Then came our new FashionWeek; OsloTrend. And here I did the hair for the opening show by Kristine Vikse

As i were lucky to do the catalogue for Moods Of Norway's AW'14 Collection, I were honoured to be lead with a good colleague of mine on the team for their show during Oslo Trend. You can see pictures from backstage here!

As from time to time I'm working on projects I can't tell you so much about, but… I promise it's exciting and I'm gonna post to you when it's about to come up! Gosh, how much working with hair can bring in to your life!

Simon -this is the man I did the AoE-shoot with! He's probably one of the most awesome guys I know -hardworking, kind, a real pro- and finesse-kind-of-photographer. Such a privilege to get to know people in this business personally, grow friendship and have a lot of fun together @ work! 

I love my job… <3

New year, new ways of doing things...

 As the lucky hairstylist I am, to be on the Redken Team Norway, at the beginning of each year we always have some training to update and to seek inspiration. This time, we had the great honour of having Ellen Lawlor over for a visit, and she had a lot of goodies to teach us! It was an amazing two days, and I'll encourage everybody who has the opportunity to learn from her, to jump on a class! as the unlucky sole I am, my camera broke down, so please excuse me for my bad iPhone-quality!

What a great way to start a new week and year on...

and a  happy new year to you all! :)

Due to just recently publication, I can't post the whole editorial, but I would really urge you guys to go and get the latest issue of Personae which is out now! I'm so, so happy and humble to post this to you, that I actually can't explain it in words, but collaborating with one of Norway's biggest names in our industry is a true privilege to me, and I'm so excited to share this with you! We even got the cover!

Bling-a-ring-ding...

… and so the sweet calm of Christmas is upon us (hopefully), and it's just so nice to feel the tempo slowing down. I'm really grateful for all the nice things I've been given, and enjoying time with my family and friends up north. A couple of my familymembers are wondering what they are going to do with the money they were given for Christmas, and so I thought about giving you guys some ideas; here's an editorial I did for SVAMagazine which features Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen's Jewelry Collection called "Snakes" which was launched this year as a privilege to their 50 Years Anniversary. The whole team were stunned by the beauty of the collection, and I felt really honoured to be working with gems as delicate as these! Scroll down,watch, and take in all the beauty and boldness of these items as they truly stand to be observed and admired… 

To get the whole story, go to SVA Magazine or check out the universe of Ole Lyngaard.

Please enjoy, and have an awesome HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Even if I REALLY look forward to Christmas...

...I also look forward to next spring! It makes me think back about this year, and things that were published. For example; this editorial we did this spring, and were lucky to get printed in the Norwegian fashion magazine for youngsters;  Det Nye -this autumn.

Finally, I can reveal them...

The 1. of december is already passed and therefore we're allowed to reveal our contribution for our Norwegian Hairdressing Awards 2014 -here's my contribution for the category Avant Garde. 

It's funny how creativity takes you through different stages and ways of working with hair -it's an endless fabric to be worked around -again and again...
