I had a nice shooting last week for Finnish Elle magazine. Our photographer was the multi-talented Sanna Saastamoinen, who totally charmed me with her down-to-earth eccentricism and enthusiasm. It was really nice to work with emotions and a story instead of the fierce attitude and strong poses that have been "in vogue" lately. I'd known most of the crew for some years already, I love working in Finland because it never really feels like work. More like hanging out with friends doing some fun art project or something.
We had a cloudy, windy day and of course the location was a beach. We went to Vuosaari, I can't get over how romantic the scene was. I'm definitely going back there when it's warm enough to hang out in a bikini. We heard some crazy gun firing from the near by army base, it was a bit scary at first since the earth was really shaking and it took us a while to figure out what was going on.
I was supposed to be in London right now, but I had to cancel my trip... So I'm just enjoying the Finnish summer beginning and hanging out with friends. The weather has been amazing. My sister is coming back from Latvia tomorrow, I've missed her so much. I hope the sun and warmth is making you all as happy and refreshed and relaxed as me. The winter was so horrible, even in Tokyo and New York where I spent the most of if. Sorry for being such a bad blogger lately. Just feels like I been having more important things to do ;) Maybe I'm getting a little bit happy again.
