In The Waiting Room… Waiting for Answers…

Mathias Lauridsen at Gucci Spring/Summer 2010 Milano

Since I am a person of few words in real person and I know that I panic a lot when good things, bad things, anything happen to me, I have decided - rather than having a normal impromptu going-with-the-flow interview like most professional journalists, it is crucial for me to have a staged interview with Mathias (if I ever get the chance to meet him in person this life time), where I get the opportunity to interrogate him critically on all the questions in my life (except one). Here is a preview of how it’ll play out…

Y: Mathias! [Shrilling nervously in a high pitched voice] We are speechless… really! We had been dreaming about you ever since we saw that mesmerising picture of you for the Gucci pour homme II ad campaign, when we were young. Tell us please. How does it feel to be the man in so many girls’ dreams? Does it make you feel sick, paranoid or uneasy in any way at all?

Viktor & Rolf Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Paris

Danish model Mathias Lauridsen shows off Viktor & Rolf's Fall/Winter 2010/11 Collection

Danish model Mathias Lauridsen shows off Viktor & Rolf's Fall/Winter 2010/11 Collection

Entitled “Paint It Black”, Dutch designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren’s men’s show took its cue from the infamous Rolling Stones song. Influenced by the remarkable English Rock Band, the colour palette of the collection is naturally tainted with almighty blackness; yet the attitude and the final look are true blue royal and loyal to the Amsterdam-based fashion house. Namely, each model appears like an exact replica of Mr. Horsting and Mr. Snoeren exhibiting the designers’ signature quirky and cool style.

Infinite Life

Bruuns Bazaar Spring Summer 2010 Ad Campaign

Danish model Mathias Lauridsen fronts Bruuns Bazaar Spring Summer 2010 Ad Campaign

Nothing gives me more pleasure than blogging about three of the things I love the most in the entire world: Mathias Lauridsen Carmen Kass, Bruuns Bazaar and last but not least, Mathias Lauridsen. For Spring/Summer 2010, the Danish label’s allure is once again captured at its most desirable state under the lens of the Danish photographer Henrik Bülow. Amidst a poetic setting by the beach, life in Bruuns Bazaar’s world is beautiful and love is bliss! We love how simple and simply chic the different pieces of the collection are. Assembled together, the whole collection reflects a distinctively laid back attitude; yet it retains a style of its own. I love the infusion of leatherwear into the collection. It gives off a strong persona that is a little bit on the wild side, yet, also soft and feminine through its finishing touches. This is the life!

Mad for Mathias?

So... I.. I... I apologize. I o-ogled you. Sorry.

So... I.. I... I apologize. I o-ogled you. Sorry.

Since I have received some accusations of being almost mental in regards to a certain delicious Dane, I have decided to make this one last post [for this month] on the above-mentioned person. Frankly, this has not been an easy decision for me, but please try to understand that this is crucial in terms of my mental growth and development – all the more so, because of the lack of brain activity going on when ogling in the presence of that unbelievably flawless Danish being. I hope you all respect my decision. This month will certainly be the most difficult time ever and I know time will pass in slower than slow motion; but who knows what the future might bring? His glorious comeback on blogyul could be just a step away… Perhaps just in time for Christmas? But for now, let’s take a long last look at those mesmerising blue eyes and get lost for one last time! Ahhh… Hypnotise me!

P.S. “So… I.. I… I apologize. I o-ogled you. Sorry.” is a quote from the film Stranger Than Fiction (2006).

There are times, when I think is it really necessary for Lacoste to do a show each season? I mean what else can you do with sportswear? It’s always the same ol’ stuff! However, each season, Creative Director Christophe Lemaire proposes a strong well-argumentted rebut that leaves me gasping for more!

More Mathias, Please?

Dear Robert,

Danish model Mathias Lauridsen – wanted and needed. Alive and sexy, please!

Danish model Mathias Lauridsen – wanted and needed. Alive and sexy, please!

From the response of ”*lol*”, which I received upon the blog post entitled “Nordiska Kompaniet Summer 2009 Catalog” with subject matter of the Danish model Mathias Lauridsen; I cannot help but sense a kind of sarcasm and perhaps… a bit of jealousy from you! Am I right?

Nordiska Kompaniet Summer 2009 Catalog

When we talk about my favourite department stores, how could we not mention Nordiska Kompaniet (Swedish: The Nordic Company)? Well… I have never been to NK’s store in Gothenburg, but the one is Stockholm is enough to make me crazy every time I go there. I just love how they decorate the entire store – from the exterior to the very core of it. Everything is incredibly immaculate, like how it should be.

Save me, Mathias!

Save a life. Save my life, Mathias!

Save a life. Save my life, Mathias!

Dear Mathias,

Ohhh… Mathias! Save me, please! Save me from ‘my’ home, please! Is home not supposed to be home sweet home – a place where one feels comfortable and is free of danger? Well… Why is mine not?

Last night, in times of desperation, I visited the bathroom. Since I knew precisely about the existence of those hideous rascals in the bathroom from a previous encounter, I took extreme caution of any funny little moving objects prior to entering this no man’s land; but then, I guess I did not give it enough time to observation, as the ill-being living being needed time to adjust to the heavenly illuminance from above, too.

As a result, amidst the stillness of the night, only when I was unrolling the toilet paper did he shoot out of some shady corner.

This super surprising coincidence had a beyond explosive effect on both of us – both screaming around in circles with arms waving frantically in the air in the tiny bathroom space. As I looked at the fat mouse with horror and disgust, I realised the little ‘brainiac’ was trying to get out of this dangerous grounds, but could not find an exit, hence, the circles he was drawing with his dirty little feet. Carefully and swiftly, I opened the door and instantaneously, he sprung out rapidly and without grace nor a goodbye.

As I stood in the bathroom, trying to recover from the shock encounter, I felt stained and tainted just by sharing the same space and air as ‘him’. Although there was no actual bodily contact, I just felt like we had rubbed skin. I guess it was because when it was running around in circles panicking for the love of his life, some of his fur fell off, like when chicken run, they lose their fur and fill up the farm houses with a whole floor of their fur.

Although I have sprayed mortein and laid rat poison in what we think is their favorite places, it still seems like the mighty powerful will never die and that Pinkie and the brain would really overtake the world with my home as the first place on their agenda. So, Mathias, please save this poor girl from the wild wild wretchedness! Bring me to your home! Bring me home before it’s too late!

Yours most desperately,
-Yulya X-
