Your blog is fascinating. I have attached a picture of the tattoo I have on my left shoulder blade.

I got it while in New Orleans and like the shape of it, I'm just not sure how it translates. When people ask, I usually tell them: Stupid American (although at the time I was told it means beautiful or beauty).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

If this character is intended to be "beauty", 美, then it is missing a horizontal stroke. However, the joke does not stop there.

Chinese character for sheep is 羊, and what Kim B. has on her shoulder blade does indeed look like sheep with a little dropping.

Hi,

I have a similar story to those posted on your blog, my sister allowed a trainee to practise his 'art' after a day of indulgent partying and likewise has no idea what this 'disaster' means.

I really hope you can help.

Many thanks.



Whoever got this probably over-stretched a book on a copy machine. The characters size are inconsistent. My favorite part is the tattooist even included the period behind 經.

妙法蓮華經 is Lotus Sutra.

Where everyone knows your name

Back at Sid's in Orange County. It's the shop we always go to when ever we go to that side of the world and the peeps hanging there and working there is kinda the reason why we go in the first place. Sid was a source of inspiration even before I knew him.

COACH POPPY

A while ago I was asked by Coach to style one of their Poppy bags for their MYNY campaign (launching today) and I decided to go for the Poppy Sequin Backpack in Blue Jean to have some styling fun, I wanted to add a preppy, perky and fresh touch to a neutral outfit.

Check out Coach MYNY to see the whole campaign

GOING HARD ON THE BLVD

This past weekend we were out cruising in Hollywood.. Here are a couple fliks.

America...Fuck Yeah

More from our first days back in OC. Miss it already although the weather in Denmark has been awesome lately. Now we just have to make it through this week without dying of envy of all the people who is going to the Roskilde Festival. LUCKY!
I got a bunch of older stuff to post as well so I might take a break from the America posts...soon.

Coming To America

The first wave of pictures from our recent trip to The US o' A. The first day in Santa Ana, California.

Shimmer Shimmer

H&M shimmer body-con dress, Su-Shi wooden Clogs

Wearing my Clogs again, these babes just go with everything!
The dress was on sale at H&M for about $10, and although I normally don't like sparkles with this dress I do, hmmm maybe its the summer that makes me appreciate some shimmery play...

I'm still totally into the World Cup! Can't wait for tomorrows games!
