¶ Today

Excuse the posing

Today has started with cramps and feeling sick, but still going to school. I was wearing my white 'medical' coat that I had bought at weekday for 200kr ( sale yay ). Then I had history and seemingly taking care of my worries about the history essay they remained. Then we had science and watched this heartbreaking movie about the continual downfall of the cod fishes, and the degrading ecosystem. We will really be out own end unfortunately. Then after that we finished so Matilda, Cajsa and I set off to take a little shopping round at the vintage/secondhand stores in the area, which was first Myrorna, my favorite and the cheapest. I found these orthopedic square toe shoes which are so ugly that they are beautiful, the platform also makes me much taller which I love. Matilda found these amazing flared jeans and this lovely pair of sunnies. It was quite a spree we had. Joined by Julia, we continued to kungshallen to eat lunch and then we went to Stadsmissionen which was a fail and Framtidsantiker and they had lots of beautiful sunglasses. Then Julia had to go home, and Matilda, Cajsa and I took a juice at juiceverket and that was delicious. Then I had to go to the optician where I got my eyes checked up and bought new frames that will be ready in five to seven days. I am quite excited as I look exactly like Sean Lennon.

¶ Hippies

Last night ended with nausea and regretting drinking and stating that I would never drink again, but it started really well. I was invited last minute to a hippie themed party, and I decided to set off in my thick sheepskin coat, looking like bane. I was already wearing a collarless COS shirt and just snatched up a paisley chiffon scarf to wrap around my head. It was lots of fun and after a bit of moonshine I got at it and started socializing There was one girl who had recognized me from my tumblr and I was quite touched, and another guy who knew my last name. It was lots of fun, drowning in a sea of hippies with the beach boys sending good vibrations across the room. I enjoyed the night and would not mind going to another themed party. I also met Freja Beha Erichsen. ( last pic )

¶ Photo concepts

One thing that has lately been on my mind is how I can evolve my daily documentation and edit them in a unique way. The problem I usually find myself is that I follow tumblr trends or photo editing that has been done before but I find it so hard and laborious to think outside of the box. It's then I admire the people like Pablo Picasso ( despite the fact that I hate cubism ) and Monet that they did something that nobody had ever done before. It makes you think, we have already done so much, what is the next step? Have we used all art forms and explored all corners of this conceptual world?

At the moment white frames are in the trend for me, and roses. I also like putting halos on people and occasionally bled two photos together. The next step is yet to be found but I am constantly evolving ideas so hopefully I will find myself doing something more unique and fresh faced for this new year. Above are photos that I have taken lately, they are not too formal, just everyday documentation.

¶ 2013 01 11

I really am bad at updating blogs, so before venturing into my uninteresting blog about art, fashion & mundane life in Stockholm beware,
I WILL LET YOU DOWN.

Hello, my nickname is CG and I will be your guide to the internet. Not really, you are probably someone who's cursor has unfortunately and subconsciously landed on a link to my blog, most probably posted by me to be superficial and promote this dumpster. There isn't that much to know about me, I am born in 1997 in London where I lived for eleven years until moving to Stockholm, where I am currently based. I am half Korean and half Swedish. I am not such an interesting person and as much as I want to be as complex as teenage rebels and virgin suicides I am deadbeat and somewhat shallow. The photo above is me, as you probably guessed. Soon I will be getting new glasses so fear not, my nerdy wayfarers will soon evaporate.

This blog will be more serious than the ones before where I would like to lay out discussions ( to who?!?? ) , document my everyday and share to you some of my creative projects. What you will soon find out is who I am and what I usually do, so I have all the right to call all people following this blog as stalkers. I have a tumblr ( several ) and that is where I will post more casual selfies quickly snapped before napping and after coming home from a tiring day at school. CAUTION there is autoplay. Well this is the beginning of something quite temporary because I can predict that my laziness will soon overcome me and I will spend more time looking at pointless fail videos than actually doing something productive.
