Smoking in Sweden

For once me and my boyfriend had a free day together when we weren't either partying or hung over, so we took a stroll around town and took some pictures. Why post them here? Well, I thought someone might find it a bit fun - and I got a request for pictures with me and my cigarette holder!

So I dressed my boyfriend up to look something like the-beat-generation-Jack-Kerouac-with-Beatles-haircut (and forcing him to smoke i front of the camera, poor bugger). I myself put on a 1970-ish black thingy and was ready for a photo shoot - unwashed hair and all.

Click on the photos for bigger, unflattering resolution, and enjoy!

Lolita: Such a pretty girl. Your boyfriend took some great shots of you. The area around you two looks beautiful. Is it a park? Your boyfriend has the mod look from the late sixties down! -- Mykal

I've collected cigarette holders forr a few years...I don't smoke, but think they're gorgeous and classy nonetheless.

Mykal:
Thanks a lot! I of course only picked out those who made me look good, not the retarded ones... Haha. Great that I managed with my boyfriend's look - if a woman should to anything it is to dress her man right! Before I met him he never even wore shirts, hu-ha...
Well, not a park really. There goes a big stream through the city of Norrköping, and around it are some paths perfect for strolling around an take pictures ;) Quite a beautiful city I live in, actually!

Diana:
Thanks! Oh, I'd recognize anything to do with Norma Desmond any day! ;)

Getsbis:
Haha, I sure can pick them, eh? ;) Haha, witchy nose? I've heard that my nose is quite similar to Myrna Loy's, but not that I look like a witch! :)

Kate Gabrielle:
Ah, thanks! Good that we got the vintage feeling noticable!

Juliette:
Thanks a lot for your compliments! I hoped they would entertain ;)
Haha, funny hobby! Do you have any web site to recommend where you can find any cool ones?

Christopher:
Thanks, I hope I satisfied your request for a smoking Lolita! ;) Hehe, I'm a cruel girlfriend. I have to watch Valley of the Dolls...

Juliette. said...

Indeed. :)
Not really, I'm afirad. Generally I buy them from antique stores. Either way though, they're really fun to get or just look at.
