Water for elephants spread

First of all a short note to my previous post. The picture I showed of the danish royal family was taken by danish photographer Marc Høm and was taken for german Vogue. Thanks for the help Theresa.

The pictures I wanna share for you today are a fashion spread in Vogue magazine promoting Water for Elephants. The woman is the pictures is Reese Witherspoon who plays the female lead in the movie. The photographer behind this spread is german Peter Lindbergh.

Also worth to mention - these are the pictures that first inspired me to do a Week of Pictures and again I should thank Theresa since she is the one who shared them with me a few weeks back. Check out her blog Girlbird's and take a look at the spread. (Click on the pictures to see them in their full sieze)

The cover



I love this dress!



This is amazing shot. Such a
majestic animal and notice the
pround look in Reese's eyes.



A gentle giant and a geogeous dress.



Without a doubt my favorite one. The lighting is incredible
and there is something almost magical over this on.
AMAZING!

I hope to get to see this movie in theathers this spring/summer and I think you should check it out to. Just look how beautiful this trailer is:



Easter is coming fast..

What are you guys doing this easter?

I'm lucky enough to get at visit by a close friend and then later I am celebrating my mom's 58th birthday :)

New great blog!

My beautiful friend's got a new blog and it is looks great.

Take a look: http://girlbirds.blogspot.com/

Ready...

Ready ... to let go? Ready... to share.

Not sure which or if it is maybe both. I always keep my poems close at first because they are very personal to me. Sometimes I share them with people or maybe even put them up on the blog, but it is far from all that make it so far.

This poem is about a friend of mine who died, so maybe me posting this will mean that I'll let go for good now? Maybe... hopefully - anyway here goes!

HOWLING AT THE MOON

Like a hand reaching in
stealing a breath
stopping a heart
Like waterfalls of tears on skin
Freezing - unable to move
Falling into the void you left behind

Her soul rising and floating free
soaring like a bird
sailing to the sun
Looking down at us all to see
tears falling from loss
tears falling from eyes she loved

Waiting to her from you soon
but the words wont come
the sound stays lost
Then I hear wolves howling at the moon
and I know you're free
and I know you're where you're suppose to be

Weekend with the girls :)

Writer's week

Like I've written on this blog before - I love words. Reading them, listening to them and writing them. I have decided to do a writer's week on my blog this week. I'll be using my friends writings, my own and published stuff in form of other blogs, lyrics, poems and short stories.

I am open to suggestions so if you know me drop me a note on facebook or send me an e-mail, if you have a suggestion and you don't know me personally drop me an note here.

Today I am using one of my friends writing. She love words and writing as much as I do and I've seen her do everything from long ongoing story lines to beautiful describtive poems.

Here is some of her work:

FEELINGS

by Krista Eddy

I don't want to forget them
But I'm forced to do it all the time
For you, you belong to another
And you will never be mine

I think of you and smile
I get this happy feeling inside
But when I'm told I shouldn't feel this way
It's something that I'm forced to hide

I don't want to hide them
But I'm forced to do it everyday
Push them down deep inside
Wish they would go away

But as much as I want them to
They won't go away
They just keep getting stronger
Day after day

I want to let them out
I want you to know about them
Because I have to keep them hidden
These feelings I feel for you.

If you wanna read more of Krista's work she is also blogging http://rantinandroarin.blogspot.com/ . Her blog contains her online story Sail me Away and tails from her Newfoundland life.

Enjoy.

New York, New York!!!

I just signed up for a competition where the winner gets a dream vacation to where ever they wish with 2-3 friends by choice.

I am hoping to go to new York with two of my best friends. They are both amazing women and what city is better for three girlfriends than the big apple - I hope I'll win cause I am tasting the cosmo already ;)

And naturally this beautiful song popped into my mind :)

January movies!!

Here are a few movies I plan to see this January:

Due Date with Robert Downey Jr. because he is a great actor and this movie looks like it has a great combi of sweetness and fun :)



Love and other drugs with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. A friend of mine showed me the trailer a few month back and we made a date to go see the movie when it was realesed in Denmark and now the month is here and the trailer looks even better to me know that the first one I saw (which is not always the case)



Next Three days with Russell Crowe because the movie looks fast and exciting besides Crowe is one of my favourite actors. I've got a date with my sister to go see this one and I look forward to spending a day in Aarhus with her (shooping, dinner and movie - a great sister day!!)



Another movie I think will be worth a look this January is Biutiful - A story of a flawed man that somehow still leaves some beauty behind where ever he goes (Just like the misspelled title) - A film I'm without doubt going to have to see someday!!



Black Swan with Nathalie Portman. The trailer looks amazing and the film has been given great reviews no matter where I look besides Portman is a great actor:



This movie: Season of the witch I actually just discovered, but the trailer looks amazing. It is with Nicholas Cage (since he is my mom's fav actor maybe I can get her to go with me ;)) and it has that great mixed look of fairytale and history to it

Another circle around the sun

2010 is almost over, so it is time to reflect over what kinda year it has been and what is to expect from 2011.

2010 has been a year that has brought me new friends aswell as a year where I have reconnected with some old ones, but I have also realized that even because you have know someone your entire life it doesn't necessarily mean that you are gonna be in their lives forever, atleast not in a way you used to be - and do you know what? That is okay to, a bit sad when the thought first dawned on me, but I realized that I have alot of other amazing people in my life and so does this old friend of mine and if we are not the best of company for each other right now it does not matter and who knows maybe next year at this moment I will reflect back and we'll be as close as ever - who knows??

Like I said I have reconnected with an old friend this year too. Everyone has friends that they have known for a long time, but not really know. I have a few friends like that, but sometimes this year one of these friendships of mine changes. I am not really sure why, when or how it happened but I am glad it did 'cause 2010 brought me a new close friend :)

If you follow my blog or know me personally, you'll know I am also a music/movie buff so I also consider the year in art.

A lot of great albums has been released this year here is a few of the best ones that poops into my mind:

Great Big Sea - Safe upon the shore http://www.greatbigsea.com/store/
Sean McCann - Lullabies for bloodshot eyes http://greatbigsean.com/site/?page_id=7
Katie Melua - The House http://www.amazon.co.uk/House-Katie-Melua/dp/B003AXNSNU
The Avett Brothers - I and love and you http://www.theavettbrothers.com/us/shop
De Eneste To - De eneste to http://deenesteto.dk/

2010 has also been a good movie year. The ones that left an impression on me is:

Robin Hood (my fav actor in an impressive movie. It is stunning, funny and exciting).
Shutter Island (I loved the book and the movie is even better - DiCaprio is a great actor)
The Back-up Plan (Cute, sweet, funny - proved to be one of the best chick flicks I've seen)
Odine (no words - need to be watched. Truely a beautiful film in every sence of the word)
Inception (one of the best action movies I've seen in a while)

Besides my new fav tv-show aired for the first time in 2010: Hawaii Five-0




Other amazing experiences I've gotten in 2010 is counting:

Rasmus Seebach concert in Århus with a friend of mine (after letting her torture my hair ;)) It was a great night and something I diffinatly want to repeat.




Seeing Julie Nord exhibit in Aros really left and impression on me and she is now one of my favorite artist and I really hope to see more of her exhibtions in the future.

U2 concert in Horsen. Eventhough I am by no means a U2 fan, I do think they have made a few good songs and since my sister paid my ticket I wasn't about to turn this experience down and an experience it was. They played some great songs and the light show was extraordinary plus it was great to see my sister experience her favorite band live for the first time.

And the baptism of my best friend beautiful baby-girl:

2010 also brought a few tears. My brother left our hometown and moved 180 km to Fanø to live with his girlfriend which is great for him, but has been a bit wierd and hard on me. I am getting use to not having him so close anymore and I am really happy for him.
Other tears 2010 has brought is also in relation with brother. His girlfriend was diagnoised with an in-operable brain tumor and she is now undergoing treatment ( I hope 2011 will be the year she is declaired healthy).

2010 has also made me question myself - who I am and what I want with my life. I realiezed that I am not sure, so I decided to put college on hold for a while untill I figure it out. Which is what 2011 hopefully will be for me - a year of self discovery and soul searching :)

The last thing that has happend to me in 2010 is a good one without a doubt. I have alway loved writting but I had kinda forgotten about that for a few years, but this year I remembered which means I have begun to write poems and short stories again, but it also means I started up this blog.

2011 will bring more writting, but also lots of moments with my friends. So last but not least I wanna wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The movies Christmas wouldn't be the same without

I was watching Love Actually with a friend of mine earlier today and she said that, that was her favorite Christmas movie and Christmas just wouldn't be the same if she didn't get to watch it and I realized that I have a few movies like that myself.

For as longs as I can remember I have loved the movie It's a wonderful life and I watch that one every Christmas before Christmas eve and I've gotta confess my Christmas spirit doesn't settle in before I've sat down under my blanket with a cup of hot choco. This ending brings a tear to my eye every time. What a wonderful movie:



But there is also a few newer movies that I love watching either before Christmas or during. One of the is The Santa Claus - just because it is funny ;)



Another one is The Holiday - because it is sweet and really christmassy and because it has my favorite actress (Kate Winslet) in it. It is a romantic chickflick when they are best. And when this movie come on telly Christmas has begun for sure:



But the one movie that is a Christmas must for everyone is A Christmas Carol. This amazing Charles Dickins tale (I also read the book once a year btw. and it is highly reccomended) has been filmed more than once, but I certainly have a fav version and this is it:



May your Christmases past have been good, your Christmas present great and all you future Christmases be WONDERFUL ;D

New Year's resolution # 1

Not sure there will be more but who knows ;) Well anyway I have decided to take up a challenge of an online bookclub. It is a challenge to read 12 books of 12 different genres within one year.




My friend Theresa (http://girlbirdie.blogspot.com/) convinced me to take this up and I think both of us will enjoy this one. A great way to challenge yourself to read something you otherwise never would pick up.

Join us???

You forget me not

A friend of mine introduced me to this app on facebook called picnik and it is actually pretty funny. You can redo your pics, put in text, frames and stickers. Here is some of the work I've done so far:

This first one is of me and my best friend Katja and the words are from a Betty Midler song

And this next one is of Alan Doyle and Sean McCann of Great Big Sea - the lyric is also from a Great Big Sea song.

And this one is one I did for a friend of mine. The boy in the picture is her 4 year old son and the words is from an Amy Sky song.

And this last one is of my mom and me. The lyric is from her fav song and I thought them to be very fitting for the picture aswell. If u like what you see or just think you could do better like picnik of facebook and get going.

I'm gonna live you tonight with my mom's fave song: Sweet forget me not by Great Big Sea.



And it sure is a lovely song isn't it?

Bookworm???

Okay a note has started to go around Facebook of 1oo books BBC thinks most people have only read 6 of. The list is a bit wierd though, but check it out and see how many you get: http://www.librarything.com/topic/61828w.librarything.com/topic/61828

Out of these books I've read 30, but still think it is composed in a rather wierd way. It lakes quite a few books, newer aswell as older and where has all the classic horror stories gone? Oh well it is fun and quite a good inspiration. There's a few books on there I wanna read either because I never read them and they sound interesting (oh yep I was nerdy enough to look up almost all the ones I did not know) or because I haven't read them in ages. Food for thoughts to my bookclub :)

Which brings me too, what I am reading now. As I said before I am in a (newly started) bookclub and we are on our first book. It is by Elizabeth Gilbert and it is called Eat, Pray, Love. It is about a woman leaving everything behind as she goes out into the world trying to find herself. I haven't read a lot of it yet, but it is very promising so far. If this has peaked your interest you can read more about both the author and the book on this website: http://www.elizabethgilbert.com/eatpraylove.htm

This book was not my own choice and not something I would normally read on my own, but there in lies the challange of a bookclub. Eat, Pray, Love was recommended by a friend of mine and I am looking forward to our first discussion about the book.

Eat, Pray, Love has been made into a Julia Roberts film which is running in the danish cinemas at the moment and who knows maybe we'll swing by and make our own judgemenst as if the movie lives up to the book :)

Here is the trailer to the movie in case you are interested:

What are you reading at the moment?? Drop me a note if you want to, I would love the inspiration.
