about 2faced1.com

2FACED1.com shows one persons two different faces in photos;

Persona 1:
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

Persona 2:
WHAT YOU FEAR TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

This leads to a discussion about stereotypes and inner fears of getting misunderstood by the surroundings. Thoughts that every thinking modern day person does reflect upon. We're asking every day people from an innercity context where old categories as ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class are reassessed, why they choose to look like they do. We’re diggin' deep, peeling off garments, codes and attributes. We’re searching for transnational identities - is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?!

 

A 2FACED1 STATE OF MIND

A 2FACED1 is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to your own ethnicity, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation and class. You’re trying to avoid them but sometimes also play with them to make people think twice about who you are. Two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it explains the double folded view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. Self awareness is a gift, because it also helps you to understand other peoples situations better. To be a 2FACED1 is to have the feet in different worlds, be able to move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and has become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

It's been Stockholm Pride, I've been rave to the (read: my own) grave, done things I shouldn't, flashing 2007's most spent party trick aka the lip tattoo aka the new tribal 2010 and art, music, fucking, and life are on repeat as always but atleast this week it's been fun.

Ok I'm doing a small project so I need to know WHO'S THE MOST DISGUSTING PERSON YOU KNOW? I try to think of who I hate most in the world but all I come up with is dead old assholes. So please help me ease my brain before I turn into Jesus Christ and forgive everyone and everything.

Stalker has started texting me instead of calling. He says I'm a bad person. That he knows about all the evil stuff I've done and that it's gonna strike back at me soon. I wonder what kind of evil things I've done. Am I evil or is it just that he's a religious right-wing extremist. Because then I can understand. There's like a 100 percent chance that I've sinned according to that belief.

Aaron Carter is back (if you see me you'll understand). Have been to summer camp for troubled teenagers. Told them I wasn't a teenager, but they said I acted like one and put me on detox. One week in fucking nowhere without everything you need to survive (in Stockholm). No alcohol, sex, candy, cigarettes, porn, facebook and job obsession. Calle G aka the Swedish king ran away but I was a good kiddo and stayed all week. Walks in the forest, horseback riding, canoeing, healthy food, social training and a lots of books. Got there as Lindsay Lohan. Came home as Jesus Christ. But you don't need to worry. I will never lose miyself. I just have to bury some parts of myself sometimes.

I love these days when everyone but me is hangover or out of town. When everything is closed and it feels like aliens have come and kidnapped all humans. When there's finally time to be a harmonious person. A day like today...

I've walked by the river and thought all those clichés about how beautiful everything is. I've eaten healthy food and brushed my hair like I was Anna Skipper's disciple. I've read a pretentious book and written a stick-in-the-ass-text like another academic bully. Please kill me. I've been a harmonious person for four hours now. And I'm so fucking boring that I even bore myself to death. So now I'm restless again instead. Fucking speedy gonzales. I wanna drink beer in yellow lipstick, stare at hawthys, talk about dysfunctional stuff and be annoying. Can everyone come back to Stockholm and entertain me now please!

PRAO LIFE VS THUG LIFE

Post date Thu 5 May 2011 5:03 PM

2faced1’s got an intern. 15-year-old Alex already knows a lot more than most adults ever will. We let him check out the blog his school computers are banning him from. That’s what we call to take social responsibility. This is PRAO LIFE VS. THUG LIFE - The Intern meets The Gypsie of Gypsie's Mega Trip:


The Intern: Who are you?
The Gypsie: I don’t know anymore. But not a nice person. I’ve started to like reggaeton again.

The Intern: So what’s your blog about?
The Gypsie: 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one.

The Intern: Do you want to provoke people with your blog and what you post? You post lots of nude pictures…
The Gypsie: Just because I’m not posting pics of cute cats doesn’t mean I want to provoke. And seriously, those Cute Cat blogs are the ones that are provocative for real! They’re like Nazi manifestos but with cats. I promise Front National is behind at least 3000 of them!

The Intern:Is your blog you in a nutshell or an exaggeration of you?
The Gypsie: It’s me in my three most common conditions. Over-excited, world hating or drunk.

The Intern: Do you really think that you’re gangsta because you play golf? (link)
The Gypsie: Playing golf and drinking Crystal is what the today’s gangsters do.  Good façade to keep up for cops and mom’s.

The Intern: Why do you call your brother brohoe? (link)
The Gypsie: Isn’t it a great name?...  Time to deconstruct the language!

The Intern: Do you hate Children? (link)
The Gypsie: Yepp.

The Intern: Do you always pose with your mouth open? (link)
The Gypsie: Hahaha! Fuck, you got me! Ok Top Model 2011 here we go then!

The Intern: Which middle-aged men do you like since you have very many bad experiences with them? (link)
The Gypsie: Honestly, none. But Decida’s dad seems to be a nice one. And I like my own dad too, as long as we don’t discuss politics.

The Intern: Do you feel a connection to candy or do you just have weird habits? (link)
The Gypsie: I don’t know what it is, but candy makes me act like a fucking hippie. I can’t stop thinking of each piece as a living being and that I have to treat them all equally. Sociopath warning 2.0, I know. It must be the result of a sugar-free childhood. I grew up with popcorn. And then I discovered candy and went crazy.           

The Intern: Were the royal couple, Victoria and Daniel good dancers? (link)
The Gypsie: Victoria did directly qualify to dance in a Sean Paul video. Shake that thing miss Royal Vicky shake that thing! Daniel on the other hand, was a disaster. He just sit-danced. Everyone knows it’s impossible to look fly when you’re sit-dancing. Royalities should know about such things.  He looked like he was scratching his ass against the chair.

The Intern: So what do you mean when you wrote that you’re afraid of today’s youth acting and dressing like 30 year old’s and that you want to get Alzheimer’s before we rule the world ? (By the way, you spelled Alzheimer’s wrong...) (link)
The Gypsie: Ok if you’ll rule the world Alex, I’ll definitely stay alive! But otherwise I don’t know. I mean, look at the kids today! They act like disgusting adults when they’re twelve! Think about how they’ll be when they’re grown-ups! Goooosh! I really hope I’m dead before that…                                                               

The Intern: Is all the things you write on the blog true or are you exaggerating?

The Gypsie: It’s more like I have to tone down stuff. And yet people think I'm kidding, or making things up. Stööööört.

The Intern: What does style mean to you?
The Gypsie: The construction and deconstruction of bodies and identities, political activism and cultural contexts.

The Intern: How would you describe your style?
The Gypsie: Aaron Carter goes Crust Punk versus Keith Flint in grills?
                                                                                                                                         
The Intern: Who were you when you were in my age; as a teenager?  
The Gypsie:A naive snowboarding horse girl who broke into caravans and made out with skaters.

The Intern: What’s the meaning of life?
The Gypsie: There’s no meaning. But you can find things to live for anyway. Like horses, riots and porridge… Oooh! There we got the happy ending aswell! Perfect!
The Intern: No comments.

I'M SO GANGSTA

Swedish thug life is so fucking hardcore. This is Brohoe, Lil' Stink and me sneaking into the golf course without paying and stealing golf balls a random Friday. I'm sure Tupac sang Thug 4 Life on his cloud in heaven when he saw this. 

FOR MY LOVE - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Do you remember? This was Belize. This was You and Me on a sailing boat in Caribbean. And I learned "The Way You Are" by heart and sang it to you every day, my love. And I'll do until death do us apart baby! Cuz I'm such a romantic person. And girl you're amazing, just the way you are!
