Having a chat with journalist Sara Ullberg at the news agency TT Spektra in November resulted in an interview appearing in several kind of different medias in Sweden. Metro did a short version that came to be only about working with Robyn - leaving everything else out (Stereotypophobia just as Occupy All Streets)... miles better when Auntie called from Dalarna and said it was a whole page in the local paper including the 2FACED1 part, and how she found it interesting what I was expressing. You know, when your mum have a hard time telling the extended family what it is you actually do... my family tree is not exactly full of people working in so called "creative fields" so to say. SvD also run the long version (click over there to read full version).

"- Mode har aldrig varit intressant för mig om det inte har haft ett sammanhang, säger hon.

Själv är hon klädd i skräddad herrkavaj, camouflagebyxor och metallicglänsande kängor, har pärlor i öronen och ett halsband med namnet Maria skrivet med arabiska bokstäver. Varje liten detalj är viktig, just nu är hon egentligen mer intresserad av den arabiska våren och Occupy Wall Street-rörelsen än av modebranschen.

Med Maria ”Decida” Wahlbergs eget språkbruk är hon en 2Faced1 - en människa som bryter mot stereotyperna, som har fler ansikten än det som omgivningen förväntar sig. När hon växte upp i Uppsala var hiphopen ett av de nav kring vilket hennes liv rörde sig, specialarbetet i nian skrev hon till exempel om Five Percent Nation*, en avknoppning av Nation of Islam

- Varför gjorde jag det? Jag är en vit tjej från Sverige - it doesn't make sense! Men jag tror att jag kände igen mig i grundelementet i hiphop, att man känner sig alienerad, att man inte hittar någon plattform som passar en."

And then the Intern proved what a PR-natural he is, once again perfect prao-timing. He got his name in the papers for the second time. Don't blame me if he turns out spoiled... and Alex's a smart ass too, strokes my ego the right way. Doesn't it look like spot on PR stunt to have a 15 year old saying "She's even cooler in real life"?!. Wow, clooose to disgusting!!!

Not fully satisfied with the headline "She's The Woman Behind Robyn's Style", but it works together with the text, where it's clearer how Robyn's style starts in Robyn. My job is just to emphasize my clients style. Call it Visual Psychology, or call it Stylosophy, but it couldn't start anywhere else than inside them cause if it did, then I wouldn't do my job right.

"TRUE DAT (Interlude)"

Operatin' under the crooked system too long
2FACED1, pronounced two-faced-one
Adjective meaning between two worlds, or unaccepted in society
But let's look deeper than that
Are you an 2FACED1?

If you understand and feel the basic principles and
fundamental truths contained within this view, you probably are
If you think it's all about pimpin hoes and slammin cadillac doughs
You probably the norm, or a 2FACED1 that think he is the norm
Or maybe just don't understand
A 2FACED1 is someone who is not considered to be part of the normal world
She/He's looked at differently
She/He's not accepted because of her/his clothes, her/his hair
Her/His occupation, her/his beliefs or her/his skin color
Now look at yourself, are you a 2FACED1? I know I am

As a matter of fact, fuck being anythang else
It's only so much time left in this crazy world
Wake up 2FACED1s and realize what's goin on around you
Poisonin' of the food and water
Tamperin' of cigarettes
Disease engineering control over your life
Take back your existence or die like a punk
This is a 2FACED1, sayin right on to the real, and death to the fakers
Peace out

At last some nature romanticism caught by Mira Bajagic

While in London, I popped by Dazed's/Converse's Emerging Artist Exhibtion at Whitechapel Gallery (in a wrinkled suit jacket...). More than that I won't write today.  خداحافظی

So Mira and I step out the door, happy go lucky on our way to Broadway Market and some well earned coffee after all work. Suddenly our 2FACED1-ness kicks in and we realise too late we both look like two boarding school kids, I mean this is England. Half an hour later on two chicks approach us and ask if they can snap our style "for a school project". Yes sure, we say. Yes sure, we think - don't get suprised if U see us up on the VICE's Dont's-section pretty soonish...!
