Hi my lovely friends!
The last weekend was amazing again!
On friday I went to my last costume party at my University. I have just 1 pic and this pic is not so good, but wherever... Wonder woman is here Oh my god! This weekend I had the worst hangover in my life
I was just a poo on Saturday. But at night, I was ready to have fun again.

The meeting with my school friends was pretty funny. I really love these guys! c:
And welcome again hangover!!!

Lots of colors, textures, smells...


Don't forget this
Sun is shining again
And I'm still dreaming see Free time in FP some day I was thinking delete this set, but I'll give it the last change... At least, 1 month from here.

It's been a while since I've hit the road for a good old-fashioned burlesque tour, so I'm starting small with a short little weekender featuring an international cast of the world's best performers, I'm really thrilled to be sharing the stage with these folks! From Finland, I have my dear friend LouLou D'vil, who is without a doubt the embodiment of sex appeal. She won Best Debut at the Burlesque Hall of Fame competition last year, and was selected to compete for the main title of Miss Exotic World next month, the highest title in the world of burly-q! Check out this video I made of her in my pin-up studio last week!



All the tour dates are listed on the poster below, so if you happen to live somewhere between NYC and Washington, DC come out and say hi! You can find out more and buy advance tickets at Bettina.ca.



The other amazing burlesque performer in the show is Spanish siren Medianoche, which will also be competing for the title of Best Debut this year at Burlesque Hall of Fame! Check out the amazing pic I took of LouLou and Medianoche this month:



You can get a signed copy of this pic at the merch booth, only at our shows this weekend!

See you there!

Once again it is time for a new blog update! It's been a while.



Since my last blog I have spent 5 weeks in evening school learning to be a personal trainer and this week I got my first client to train 3 times a week for school. Then on June 16th there will be a huge test! Shiiii!
I have to admit that I am a little bit stressed. There is so much to learn and memorize about the body, muscles, bones, training, eating and other things. I also got really nervous when I first got my client subject. I found out that she works at the gym and has worked as a personal trainer and competed in fitness among other similar things.
It is quite intimidating but I decided to make use of it and try to have her also teach me little things while I'm training her.

Besides that I am still unemployed. I have looked at jobs just a little bit but everything is just so damn boring. So there is only one thing to do about that and that is to get more education! I'm sick of boring, non creative jobs for a long time.

One upsides of having more free time is more cuddles with the sweetest kitties





I have been getting tattooed and hoping ho have my whole arm finished by the end of June. I have been dreaming of having a full sleeve for years but I might have to leave the background for a little later.
Already have two new ones and I have an appointment for another one tomorrow! Woopwoop!





Last week I met Rin. She stopped in Reykjavik for a week while travelling around Europe. She was really sweet and nice to hang out with.
I took her on a little tourist trip to see Gullfoss, Thingvellir and Geysir,





Found a overprized empty can in the tourist shop.


We went to see the penis museum! It was SO gross! They had penises of all kinds of whales, horses, hamster, cat, pig, dog, reindeer, trolls, invisible man and a man and more! Here's a little preview,,,


I think this was a sheep's penis or something like that.

And the human penis! Ughhh..... :S


A game of scrabble that I lost with half as much scores as Rin


Me and my friend at the pole studio held a weekend full of awesome workshops and it was such a success.






I started working on a cheststand. Progress is happening slowly but I'm really hoping to one day get my feet flat on the ground in that position


Other then that I flew to Akureyri to teach some pole workshops in another studio for a weekend, wen't to an adult circus burlesque show and saw some bands play at Reykjavik Live and eaten way too much icecream! I have also gotten addicted to instagram. @kyokowidz

And I will end this blog with a pile of photos from my newest addiction

Shot a new set with Sunshine at Red Rocks yesterday! Sooo much fun and I love her to bits! We had to hike up a bit for the best view, it was totally worth it! I can't wait to see how everything turned out. (image) (image)(image) more

It's been a tough weekend, people. Fucking tough.

First and foremost, I had the worst fight with my boyfriend last thursday.
We were coming from a weekend of conflicts on the most banal things and it didn't seem to stop, so he put me on a train home telling it was over.
Three days without a contact of any kind made me re-think of the whole situation: our relationship, my faults, his faults, my personal issues with handling negative feelings and my tendency to depend on people I love... I've spent so much time alone, rather than getting drunk and then burst into tears, 'cause I've decided to undergo a real inner change.
It'll take time and energies, it'll cost me suffering and pain. But I need it, or I'll be forever weak and I'll be up to destroy any kind of relationship I'll have.
My boyfriend called me on the phone friday and we met again, in order to make things right once again - a sign of true love, to me.
We spent saturday making love ♥

We've planned to leave to each other time and space to do our own thing, as we're not ready to play the married couple and living together, yet. But I'm sure one day we will.

...anyway saturday night there was something waiting for us. An earthquake of magnitude 6
It was 4.06 a.m. and luckily we were still hangin' out and ending our last beer in front of the club we spent the night at, so we didn't get hurt but it was scary: a long thump and then the earth started shaking, flashes all over the sky due to power lines' and stations' going out of work, lights out and alarms ringing. An hell on earth, really.
The majority of the historical building of those little country town has been damaged or even destroyed, there have been 7 victims and more than 3000 people still waiting to know if they'll be able to enter again their homes. So sad! Luckily, my boyfriend's house is rather new and the earthquake didn't damaged it that much.



Chaos at the supermarket:

This is where we were saturday night, laughing and smiling and drinking, havin' fun - now there are the tents of the Civil Defence
My thoughts are with the ones who lost their places! Stay strong people!

On a less serious note, I've had to die my blue hair back to black:

I'm looking for a job and I've already fixed some job interviews... you know, the blue hair wouldn't help... >_<

Let's keep in touch people!
xoxo
your Lauretta
