I was on morning tv.

In Finland.
For about 5 minutes.
I came home after 2 beers.
And 2 tequilas.
And felt a bit giggly.
I was so nervous.
And I thought I would have time to explain my pictures.
I had some really random pictures.
Because I thought the topic would be "tour life".
One of the weirdest ones.
An unmade bed.
Hahahahaha.
By the way it was the best bed I´ve ever slept in.
So it got it´s 5 minutes of fame.
Anyways I can´t even watch the clip now abroad.

After that I continued my journey.
Out in the Atlanta night.
We met up with our friends.
The ATL Twins.
If you have seen the movie Springbreakers.
You know who they are.
Or you can just google.
Really sweet people.
A perfect example where IMAGE.
And reality.
Don´t go hand in hand.
Image always lies.
I was offered a job yesterday too.
Maybe I´ll move to Atlanta.
One day.
Tomorrow we go home to Miami.
And there for about 12 hours.
Then off to Bonnaroo.

LATELY.
Park hang. 

The Earl, backstage. 

Frontbar at The Earl. 

My ATL buddy, Dorien. 

The Clearmont. 

Buckhead, ATL.

A new Tony Hawk skatepark. 

Me being a nerd.

Have you ever.

A)
Been the only white person in a bar?
Where they only play hip hop.
And everyone knows the lyrics to all the songs.
And all the ladies look like Beyoncé.
And you feel a little funny.
Being the only white and blond person there.
Looking at someone´s J.Lo. booty.
And feeling what you got going on back there.

B)
Seen 50 year old strippers dance on a table.
In a white trash bar.
In a basement.
While a band plays cheesy southern covers.
And they wear cowboy hats.
And have long hair.
And use a "nickelback" voice.
And everyone in the bar drinks PBR´s.
And you can buy shirts that say "I saw your momma dance at...".
Have you?

I hadn´t.
But I guess it was a first for all of the above last night.
Option B) was hilarious.
Felt like your in a bad movie.
I love this overly american southern vibe.
Sorry if someone is offended.
Or shocked (relatives or family).
B)

B) Medicinal cups as shot glasses. 

Been driving this huge Lincoln around all day.
THRIFT SHOPPING.
COMING TO SOUL VINTAGE, HELSINKI.  

I miss my dark long hair.
So much.
Isn´t it better? YES!

ATL.

Atlanta is nothing what I expected.
It´s nice.
I pictured it to be overly rough.
And grey and I don´t know.
Weird.
I am actually like the deep south.
Accents.
Houses with porches.
Southern food
(Getting fat).
Arrived yesterday.
Short flight.
Rental car.
Back to the roots.
Hearing to a lot of stories of the past.
Meeting family and friends.
Makes me miss my family.

Still have no return flights home or anywhere else.

Just know Nashville is coming up next week.
And Billy Idol.
And Europa.



ATL surroundings. 

An amazing house I visited yesterday.

Amazing house part II.

Amazing house part III.

Coffee + Mexican food for breakfast. Guess how good that´s for your tummy.

ATL is kitch paradise. 

BREAKY. 

Oh how special I felt when I saw all the people who had been there. NOT. 

EVERYTHING´S SO DETAILED. 

I had to put these guys on time out today.

It´s a hectic life.

Yesterday I flew back.
Landed 4pm.
Went to pick up the babies.
3 dogs.
Ran some errands.
Dropped dead in the bed.
Woke up in the morning stressed out.
I knew I had a lot of things to take care of.
Including flights for tomorrow.
So yes, I came home to do some laundry.
Tomorrow off to Atlanta.
There for a couple of days.
And then... tihihih.
I´ll let you know.
No flights booked yet.
But I´m pretty sure I´m going back, back to Cali, Cali.

There´s a scratch on the car and I got stopped by this latino guy and his granddad.
They said "$100 and we´ll fix that scratch here and now".
And the two other scratches too.
I was like sure.
10 minutes and they were done.
HAH.
I had been wanting to take the car to a shop for a long time.
Well how convenient.

I´m bummed.
I will miss Fleetwood Mac in Ft Lauderdale on Saturday.

Today I ran into a friend of mine randomly.
And now I just finished packing.
So I will go and have a well deserved beer.
In good company.

How has your day been?

CHAAAAAAIN KEEP US TOGETHER!
RUNNING THROUGH THE SHADOWS!
My hairdresser was titled my "Miami mum" today.
Apparently we look a like.
And she said "ANNIKA, you look exhausted and you sound like it too"
I admitted, yes it is true.





4th of JULY is coming, are you ready!
I´ll be in Europe :( 
I love my boyfriend.
