Finally this semester is finished! Not that I was really looking forward to it since I really like school but it's really nice to get some time off! Now it's time to find a job until september!
On the last day of school I showed my classmates how to swim in the hallways A hard but fun workout! You should try it!”
Nothing has happened really other then that... Except I met Apory the other day. She is staying in Iceland for a while. We met for a coffee and I gave her a pole lesson and we are planning to meet again and shoot some pictures
I am too lazy to upload all my phone pics but I just realized I have some pictures of me that I haven't posted here yet that I modeled for my guy since january.
This is my very favorite of them all. He was supposed to copy someones style and I told him to do Richard Avedon, in the american west style pictures. It is not quite the same point but I really like it.
I have been listening to this a lot lately
And this...
Last summer me and Dwam met in Paris and shot a set .
I really like it and it has done pretty well in member review but still needs a little more love.
Time for a new epic(?) blog! I don't really have much news since I have been doing almost nothing but school and pole. It's not bad though since I really do like school and pole. I also just learned for the first time in my life the last 2 months what it is like to be busy at school as I have pretty much been living there. The semester is over in 2 weeks and I am both looking forward to it but also kind of not looking forward to it as I don't know what I will do in the summer since I haven't found a summer job yet.
Anyways...
School
Really loving to shoot with the schools mamiya. So #hipster
Shot some landscape pictures with it.
I also got to shoot my friend with a hasselblad.
Then I modeled for a classmate
Visiting and shooting a museum with old Icelandic houses
Sometimes I got way too tired for my homework though and got a little weird...
Pole
We had another pole photoshoot for the studio and I love the pictures so much!
I finally decided to make my first real pole video since last summer. Ofcourse I did it after 3 hours of sleep, a long school day and teaching advanced pole classes pretty much shaking with exhaustion. But I am very happy seeing some improvement. I even put a blooper in the end of the video
Life when not at school or pole
Painting a new changing room at the studio
Trying on mustaches for mottumars.
Wearing warm clothes in the cold
Cuddling
Meeting my sisters
Reunited with my guitar but found out that I still suck. Kinda learned a new song.
Met my friend Beebee and shot her and her band
The beauty...
...and the geeks
I am also hooked on snapchat! You should add me there. Its great for all kinds of sillyness and other shits
My snapchat username is Kyokowidz
SG stuff
Last summer me and Dwam met in Paris and shot my last set .
I really like it and it has done very well in member review but it has been there for about 6 months. I still want to give it a little chance before submitting my next one. Maybe it needs just a little bit more love? I dont know...
Yesterday there was Oskudagur in Iceland. It is an Icelandic holiday (Ash Wednesday) when children dress up in costumes and sing songs for candy.
...So I shot this for the studio
Yesterday I also went to the dentist and he told me I have some damage teeth sponsored by Coca Cola...
It is true though. I can never drink enough coca cola ever I love it too much. It is way more difficult for me to stop drinking soda then it was to quit smoking. So because of that I have 3 more expensive and dreadful dentist apponintments coming up the next few months.
I can't believe it's been so long! I shouldn't even be blogging right now because of my crazy homework. I am now a student in photography and it's so much fun. I've been keeping myself very busy recently at school, pole and life and it's great!
I really wanted to share these pictures shot by my dude this past month. I had wanted to try to photograph that jump for a really long time and it surprised me how well it turned out.
It was my birthday recently and I made the prettiest cupcakes I have ever made. I never bake and when I do it doesnt look very nice. I guess I have come to a good age to bake or something
Me and my friends shot some fun christmas and new years pole pictures
I had been meaning to post some of these pics for a while. Shot by Dwam when me and the boy visited Paris this summer. I really want to go back someday!
I recently discovered this awesome music website we are hunted and found so much new music. I am so happy because I had become so sick of my old music and hadn't been to good at discovering anything new the last months. I was even started to feel embarrassed when teaching my pole classes always with the same old playlists so this was refreshing.
Here is my playlist that I have made and am constantly adding more songs for those interested Kyoko's playlist
As I did not mention before when I was working on opening the pole studio I got fired from my waitressing job for needing to get 2 few hour shifts off to get the studio ready for opening which I tried my best to get someone to take for me but nobody wanted to. While it was kind of a relieve since I hated that job I got to busy at school and the studio that I didn't have time for another job and the studio is not paying me anything yet I am now completely broke for the first time in my life ever. It feels weird and scary and I admit that I kind of denied that it was happening even if I knew it was going to happen soon. I'll see what happens with my bills and hopefully I'll find a job soon enough.
Some photos I shot
In other news I will become an aunt in April! I am the oldest of four sisters and the oldest one who is 3 years younger then me is pregnant. It's so weird but I feel excited and proud about it even if I have never been too crazy about kids.
It was my first time in Paris and I thought this would be appropriate as I was told that it is forbidden to forbid
I really should be studying for a test now but instead I think I might watch a movie or breaking bad. I have been totally hooked on breaking bad for the last 2 months and just started on season 4 and can't stop watching!
Too lazy to upload pics from my phone at the moment so just follow my instagram @kyokowidz
Time sure flies by! This semester at school is almost over and it seems like it just began! In less then two weeks I will need to have apply for next semester and I will be bummed if I don't get in. I am so sick of working boring jobs and I just want to be a student for awhile and then have a chance for a fun job in the future.
I have been taking some pictures and I am enjoying it. My second time photoshoot with people was environmental portraits and I really liked it. Shooting people is so much more fun then dead things although they can be nice to.
I shot a musician friend of mine and my tattoo artist.
I am still excited about the new studio and stressed also all the time. I love this place and wish I could spend more time working on it and training. The place always looks better and better and meeting my students always brightens my days even if I am feeling grumpy and tired it all goes away when I get there.
Picture from last Sundays practice.
I managed to do a split in the air with out my bodyweight to push me down
Finally my set that I shot with Dwam in Paris is up in member review. I had gotten a bit impatient as I hadn't had a set for a while I am really happy with it and I hope you like it to!

As some of you might already know the pole studio where I was teaching and training burned this summer. After not having trained for a few months me and a friend of mine at the studio decided to open our own studio since the owner of the other one wasn't doing anything about the other place. We got 2 other girls from the old place and the 4 of us got together and found a place and got the studio up in just a little less then a month!
When we got this place it was really crappy and just a plain empty dirty warehouse kinda place and it was a lot of hard work to do so we spent every free minute working on the place like crazy and opened the studio on october 3rd.
The place is now looking pretty good and the poles are 3,5m tall which is awesome and I am planning to post pictures of the place soon!
We went to the most awesome pole photoshoot ever for the studio. They are so much different from the pole photoshoots we had done before and we are so happy with the result. Here are my pictures from the shoot.
I have been crazy busy at school and it is hard to believe that the semester is almost over! I really enjoy it but opening the new studio has gotten in the way a bit. I am doing good but I wish I had more time and didn't need to stress as much and finish all my assignments last minute.
I have some really fun classes. Most of my classes are photography related classes such as photoshopping, photographing and learning about light and colors and shit like that.
I am applying for photography next semester but I am not sure I will get accepted as I just started photographing and learned how the camera works in september and haven't really given myself much time to photograph more then just the school assignments but I have untill december to apply.
Here is a little bit of my photos.
I sometimes make some funny stuff to
And I also have a few not so exciting classes like Icelandic, chemistry and math... Sigh...
Geisha came to visit Iceland in the end of september and we met for a nice chat and she got to come and get a little pole lesson from me. She did really great! I only wish I would have had more time to meet her as she was staying here just the last days before our studio opening.
This is what I looked like after painting the studio ceilings. Never again!
And afterwards clean but super exhausted...
Surrounded by my lovely cats

The weather was crazy and this is what I found outside my door one morning.
This super awesome looking car is always outside my school and I want it to be mine!
My friend and I did a performance at this Icelandic circuses adult show and it was so much fun! Want to guess the theme?
Finally my set that I shot with Dwam in Paris is up in member review. I had gotten a bit impatient as I hadn't had a set for a while I am really happy with it and I hope you like it to!
It was my first time in Paris and I thought this would be appropriate as I was told that it is forbidden to forbid
I know I have not been here much lately and it sucks! But I have been having the most busiest time ever lately but in a good way fortunately!
Tonight will be awesome! Me and my friend are going to perform at the Icelandic Circus adult show called Skinnsemi. Skinnsemi is a pretty cool name of the show and a play of the words skynsemi which means rational and skinn which means skin.
I'm currently busy at school, and something else really big which I'll blog about next week! Here's a hint !
Now I must get ready for the show tonight and read for a test and some less exciting shits. But I thought I might tell you about my new set shot by Dwam in Paris this summer. It will be in member review really really soon!
Time for a looooong overdue blog. What can I say. I've been uhhh lazy?
A few things have happened since the last time I blogged.
Yo what's up, I got golden nailpolish
I went to Paris with my boyfriend for 5 days and we spent most of our time walking around seeing stuff and places and met a few of the french suicide girls and members and had a good time.
Dwam and I shot a new set that will be in MR in not too long and I got a new profile picture finally! Yay!
View from our room.
Visited Jim Morrisons grave.
Bonjour!
The boy looking cool with a green afro in a park in Paris.
He got tattooed by Dwam at the Sweet Needle
The Louvre Opale and Dwam in Spleens basement taking some serious and silly photos.
I did the cheststand.
The Eiffeltower.
Super tough ladies, Opale and Plymne
At the Louvre
The view over Paris from the plane on the way back home was AMAZING! But ofcourse the picture doesn't look half as amazing as it was in real life.
Unfortunately some pretty bad things have also happened. The pole studio where I teach and train got burned and now we don't have a studio anymore but we are trying to find a new place but it isn't going to great unfortunately.
On the bright side we can rent a room at this gym that has a few poles until the end of the month but I have only been able to go like 3 times which is not enough.
It was my grandfathers 70th birthday and suddenly we heard some loud horse noises as the horses who are next to the house got loose and were running all over the place but in the end they were cought again. It was a beautiful and fun evening.
My granddad, his brother and two of my sisters recreated a 10 year old picture of them.
And then some other random stuff from life...
I went to Roadhouse and had a donut burger. It was weird but pretty good and I don't even like hamburgers most of the time.
I have been eating a lot of icecream.
This was soooo good!
Crazy candle at work
Awesome old school car with the coolest number plate.
Flies being dead and stuff
Giant mushroom street art
He always comes to cuddle when I am trying to get out of bed. <3
My mom's kitten also likes to cuddle with me.
Tried rockclimbing with two friends and had some giggles.
Did some failed attempts at doing back to back headstands
Ring fun at Mjölnir.
Gay Pride in Reykjavik. As the last 2 or 3 years the mayor of Reykjavik was in the parade wearing a drag. A lot of people don't like him but he definitely has his heart in the right place. : )
Hens party day for a friend
We all had the best penis we ever had that night! : P
On Friday I went to my old school to talk to this woman about going back in January to finish what I started years ago and see if there was somethings that I could do until then to learn and prepare. Then to my surprise she asked me if I wouldn't like to start this semester and signed me up and school starts in less then 2 weeks! I am really happy to be starting again! This semester I will only go to very few classes such as icelandic, math, physics, photoshop and photography because I had so little left since I was in school 5 years ago. Then next semester if I do good I will have only photography and lots of it. I can't wait to start.
