Darling, even days off-stage deserve a touch of theatre. Today is no rehearsal day โ no costumes, no lines to remember โ just me, my balcony, and the grand ritual of making it winter-ready. โ๏ธ๐ฟ The artificial wisteria comes tumbling down, plastic plants retired with all the pomp of faded chorus girls. A day for tidying, editing vlogs ๐น, recycling plastic and cardboard โป๏ธ โ the drama of the domestic.
And then โ genius strikes. A hack worthy of the glossy pages: what to do with the scandalous overflow of hangers? Simply install a shower curtain tension rod as high as the heavens in your closet, and let those hangers dangle like jewelry in the rafters. ๐๐ Truly chic.
Next: the shoe switch. Out come the autumn beauties ๐ โ boots, brogues, polished leather. Into the plastic boxes go the sandals, slip-ons, and whispery summer shoes ๐๐ก, now packed away on the top shelf like memories of lazy afternoons.
And the finale? A bubble bath ๐, a glass of wine ๐ท, and a book that holds me tighter than any costume corset. To luxuriate in reading, soaking, sipping โ that is true indulgence. The art of doing nothing with style.
Tell me, darling โ whatโs your autumn ritual? The wardrobe switch? The bubble bath? Or are you still clinging to sandals like a last curtain call of summer?

Darling, the day begins not with diamonds, but with jewelry and watches I organise like treasures in a vault. โ๐ And then โ magic from the postbox: a packet from VINTED. Inside? Converse with an extra-thick sole. A shoe not for walking, but for striding. ๐โจ I model them, of course โ height is always a state of mind.
Then, curiosity calls: I ask AI how to film a short in a bar or restaurant. The answer? 18 different shots. Eighteen! ๐ท๐ฝ๏ธ๐น Life, apparently, requires more angles than even Garbo could manage.
After rehearsals ๐ญ, I cross the street to HARALDโS, the gay bar where glamour lives. Two glasses of wine ๐ท๐ท with my friend Magnus, and then weโre bicycling ๐ฒ through the night to TEATERVERKET on Sveavรคgen. There, IGOR UNPLUGGED, THE MUSICAL bursts to life, and who should appear but our marvelous friend Johan Rudebeck.
The night continues across the street to FALAFELKUNGEN ๐ฏ โ because true theatre always ends in falafel. And as if scripted, Sveavรคgen itself is closed, transformed into a silent disco. Imagine it: hundreds dancing in stillness, headphones glowing, the city remade into a dream. ๐ก๐ถโจ
๐ Tell me, would you rather be at the bar, the stage, the falafel joint, or the silent disco?

Darling, itโs all about the cost per wear. I slip into my Lagerfeld x H&M jeans โ their seventh appearance โ which means, mathematically, theyโre practically free. 20 SEK per wear! Style and thrift, together at last. ๐ค๐โจ
Inside the theatre, rehearsals pulse like a living organism ๐ญ. I take the name tags off a dressing gown โ once loungewear, now reborn as costume. Fashion is transformation, always. Our divine costume designer Camilla gifts us with treasures, and I pass along a box of glasses and sunglasses ๐ถ๏ธ๐ to our ingenious makeup designer, David. Sharing style is as chic as wearing it. Outside, of course, itโs raining โ โ as though the skies insist on their own drama.
After work, I glide into Kulturhuset Stadsteatern and up to Kilen, Fri Scen, for the opening of LEDNINGENโs โKARL XII โ FรR SVERIGE I FRAMTIDEN.โ A not-for-profit theatre group, bold in ambition. The performance? Let us sayโฆ interesting. Not great. More a first attempt than a triumph โ a reading in costume. Theatre is rehearsal until it isnโt. And here, I felt the rehearsal still lingered.
But isnโt that marvellous, too? To see art in its raw, unfinished state? To glimpse possibility, not perfection? Thatโs what keeps us coming back โ rain-soaked, bemused, alive. ๐ง๏ธ
๐ Tell me in the comments: do you prefer your theatre polished to brilliance, or raw and unfiltered?

Darling, what is life if not sheer? I arrive at the theatre and open a package: inside, a black sweater so thin it could be a whisper. Transparent! See-through! The body revealed, the mystery intact. Naturally, I model it ร la Joanna Lumley in the 60s โ one must always look excited. And I do. I always do. ๐คโจ
After work I leap upon my bike ๐ดโโ๏ธ and glide toward Sรถder. I am meant to meet my beloved friend Ulf at a restaurant. What restaurant? I havenโt the faintest memory. Ulf and I met in 1986 or 87 at Teaterverkstan โ two dreamers of the stage. Today is his birthday ๐, and I bring treasures: a Le Creuset wine cooler ๐ท and a Le Creuset water bottle ๐ง.He is meant to quit smoking before his surgery, though as far as I can see, the smoke still lingers. Ah, life.
At last the restaurant reveals itself: DEMI. Chic name, small word, big flavour.
On my way home, I pass COOP ๐ where I collect three parcels: two from VINTED ๐ฆ, one from SELLPY ๐ฆ๐ฆwith nine curiosities inside. And who do I encounter near my block? Mattias on a scooter ๐ต. Once gone from Stockholm for his mental health, now returned โ a resurrection of friendship.
And outside my door โ yet another package awaits. Always a surprise, always a story. Isnโt that life? A constant parade of packages, of people, of past and present colliding. ๐ญ
Tell me โ do you love the sheer drama of surprise deliveries as much as I do? Comment below.

Darling, life delivers itself in parcels! Outside my door: a package from VINTED. Inside, a H&M Studio 2017 suit jacket โ sharp as a whisper, bold as a shout. โจ๐ฆ Naturally, I make my coworker David try it on. The jacket fits, but David? A revelation! Arms nearly to his knees โ a surrealist sculpture masquerading as a man. I demand a model walk, and he gives it to me. The catwalk is alive and well in the theatre corridor! ๐๐
Lunch is pure avant-garde cuisine: tomatoes ๐ , instant noodles ๐, and sunflower seed sprouts ๐ฑ Iโve grown myself. The crunch, the contrast, the theatre of it all!
But today is also bittersweet โ itโs Lisaโs last day. Our production assistant, our chaos wrangler, our friend. Theatre is never just about costumes and sets, itโs about the people โ and Lisa is unforgettable. ๐ญ๐
After work, I pedal into the heart of consumer luxury: ร hlรฉns. Iโm hunting for a birthday gift for Ulf โ a Le Creuset water bottle and wine cooler. Stainless steel! Chic! ๐ท๐ฆ But darling, the gift wrapping? A scandal. The salesperson says, โDo it yourself.โ Moi? Never. I refuse to buy โreally expensiveโ gifts without a flourish. They call for an assistant, who wraps my treasures in a manner so shoddy it could be modern art. ๐๐
Style, you see, is not in the purchase โ itโs in the presentation. Even in gift wrap, one must demand beauty!
๐ Tell me, would you accept shoddy wrapping for a chic gift? Comment below, and letโs set the standard higher!

Darling, one must begin with the postmanโs poetry โ outside my door, a package from VINTED. Inside: trousers from H&M Studio S/S 2019, the kind that whispers of spring while still demanding autumnโs discipline. ๐ฟ๐ฆโจ
And today, I am in my Lagerfeld pour H&M jeans โ their fourth wear, each stride now costing me only 34 SEK per wear. Imagine that! Value stitched into couture memory. ๐๐ธ
At the theatre, dear Lisa, productionโs jewel, struggles with a tomato ๐ . She resists, she protests, but I insist โ and then the Szechuan pepper arrives. Fire! Spice! And Lisaโs face, a ballet of shock and betrayal. ๐ถ๏ธ๐
Soon, duty calls โ cases of wine must enter the theatre. ๐ท๐ญ I follow Lisa out, through the bustle, through the subwayโs sighs ๐, while Git whirls into a taxi ๐, off to directorโs mysteries. Then I return on my bicycle โ freedom with pedals. ๐ฒ
But the day is not complete without joy! ๐ After hours, Git, Lisa and I cross to Haraldโs, the gay bar glowing with tomorrowโs goodbyes. Tonight we celebrate Lisa โ though her true last day is tomorrow, tonight is ours. ๐ฅ๐
And my gift? A backpack, stitched with affection, fashioned by my own hand โ a parting gesture, practical yet unforgettable. ๐๐ค
Because style, my dear, is not only what you wear โ itโs how you say farewell.

Curtains, darling โ curtains! ๐ญ Imagine sewing a bag so immense it could swallow the wings of the theatre whole. Two meters by two meters! A bag for the legs โ those long, noble drapes that fall from the heavens and shield the audience from the secret ballet of stagehands. They call them โlegs.โ Sometimes, in the darker corners, โtormentors.โ Delicious word, isnโt it?
From backstage stitches to sunlight on my skin ๐ โ I leave the velvet mysteries behind, hop on my bicycle ๐ดโโ๏ธ and glide toward the docks. There, Martin awaits with his boat club air of leisure โต. We swim, darling, not for exercise but for conversation โ threading water, threading ideas ๐ญ, threading an entire hour of friendship under the sky.
After, bicycles again, legs pumping like metronomes, to TELEFONPLAN! And into the warm embrace of HOLY KEBAB ๐ฏ๐บ โ falafel, crisp and golden, beer, cold and foaming. It is the nectar of mortals on a summerโs day. And what a day it was! One of the best, if not the best, of the summer ๐๐ฆ.
But, oh! The coup de thรฉรขtre โ as I attempt to teach Martin the art of the dive, two radiant young women surface. They recognize me. Not as a man at the docks, not as a swimmer in trunks, but as SWEDISH WORD OF THE DAY. ๐ฅ๐ A name! A recognition! One swims into fame like into cool water โ suddenly, shockingly, gloriously.
Summer, falafel, theatre, recognition โ darling, life really is a stage. ๐๐ญ๐ฏโจ

Tomatoes, darling โ always tomatoes. ๐ On my day off, when the theatre is merely a memory and the editing screens are glowing, I escape into ICA and find them โ 25 SEK a kilo. A miracle of modern life! A ruby treasure at peasantโs price. ๐โจ
And what are jeans, if not destiny stitched in denim? Today I wear Lagerfeld pour H&M, resurrected from the past via Vinted โ second-hand, second life, and now second wear. Cost per wear: 68 SEK. Numbers are vulgar, yes, but delicious when they serve beauty. ๐โก๏ธ
Evening whispers autumn, so I dine on the balcony โ the very last supper of the season. Farfalle with zucchini, tomatoes again (always), baguette torn by hand and drowned in olive oil. ๐๐ฅ๐ซ A meal of the gods, performed under fading light.
Later, Magnus appears on FaceTime โ always Magnus with his escapades. Vietnam with motorcycles! London with Les Mis, ABBA Voyage, Operation Mincemeat, Clarks Town! And we? We sip cocktails like emperors of August. A Paloma for me, a Glitter Margarita for him. ๐ธโจ The future sparkles with plans, as we clutch tickets to IGOR UNPLUGGED THE MUSICAL. Theatre survives, reinvented, reborn โ like Lagerfeld jeans from a forgotten closet. ๐ญ๐ซ
Life, darling, is a stage, and every tomato is an entrance. ๐ ๐ฌ

Darling, let me tell you: glamour isnโt only sequins and chandeliersโitโs knowing how to throw things away with style.๐๏ธโจ
This morning, I glide into the theatre where I reign as dresser and costume supervisor. ๐ญ My kingdom? The racks, the boxes, the forgotten corners where costumes wait for resurrectionโor rejection. I recycle, I organize, I even put things into the trash with the elegance of a duchess sending letters into the fire. ๐ฅ๐โป๏ธ
Then, a pause in the middle of the dayโI rush home to gather a few essentials. The ordinary, darling, can be deliciously dramatic if you allow it.
Evening falls, and so do my duties. Off I go to my friend Ulfโs, armed with a baguette so divine it begged to be dipped into golden olive oil. ๐ฅ๐ A glass of wine in hand ๐ท, pasta steaming on the table ๐, and the screen alive with the final episode of The Gilded Ageโthe modern mirror of societyโs eternal theatre. ๐บโจ
And Ulf? As always, he collapses into sleep on the couch, like some decadent baron dreaming of another century. ๐๏ธ๐ด
It is the details, darlingโthe baguette, the oil, the laughter, the inevitable napโthat make life the grandest spectacle of all.
๐ Whatโs your idea of simple luxury? Tell me in the comments.

Darling, parcels are the punctuation marks of life! ๐ฆโจ And on this Friday morning, two of them waited outside my door like elegant footmen bearing surprises. The first: a Rabanne x H&M leopard-print shirtโdiscovered on Vinted, traveling all the way from Warsaw to me. ๐๐ The second: a pair of Lagerfeld pour H&M jeans. Both second-hand, both utterly modernโbecause the future of fashion is reuse, reinvent, rebirth.
At the theatre, where I serve as dresser and costume supervisor, I slip costumes into dressing rooms like secret messages. ๐ญ๐ But when I return home, I indulge in the real play: trying on the leopard-print shirt. I put it on andโheavensโit makes me feel like a cowboy wandering into a surreal frontier. ๐ค ๐โจ
I turn to AI, my digital oracle, and ask it for three feelings to model in this shirt. ๐ป๐ The results? Unexpected, theatrical, divine. Because style is not only what you wear, darlingโitโs how you perform it.
And the evening? Pasta with fried tomatoes on the balcony, the warmth of the city in late summer wrapping itself around me like silk. ๐๐ ๐
๐ Tell me, have you ever worn a piece of clothing that transformed you into someone elseโsomeone bolder, freer, funnier? Comment below and let me know!
