Nightingale: fashionably random

PHEW! What a week..I’m glad its over…! Stayed home tonight to watch the finale of Dancing with the stars with pasta and a glass of red! The final couples are the soccer player Tore André Flo & Nadya something and Lene Alexandra Øien & Tom Erik Nilsen….Tom Erik is kinda yum, this photo sucked though…

The past two weeks the norwegian media have went through the roof, critizising the current season of Top Model on TV3. Especially the host, Vendela Kirsebom hos gotten a lot of shit. Well, that might be because she acts like a total bitch.

Last night one of the girls were sent home because she refused to cut her hair, childish yes but anyways nothing to base a huuge drama on. I think the host, the photographer and the coach takes the fashion industry waaay to seriously, I want to work within it myself in the future, but still, it’s not like they’re curing cancer or anything.

Not only is Vendela a bitch, she talks "funny" too, whyy does she have to try to speak norwegian? Come on…speak swedish!!Maybe the norwegian models Hanneli Mustaparta and Iselin Steiro could have done a better job?

Ok, so there was no see you tomorrow after my last post. My french exam was crap, if you care. Can’t wait to get those results back…Anyways its been really hot, not really blogging weather, but today when I was out walking my dog is started to rain…so guess its back to the computer…Since last time I’ve had a lot of time on my hands since there’s not really anythiing happening at school, so I managed to finish my “Sex and the city quest” to watch all the episodes before I saw the movie, saw the movie and got a lot of time to think about life, the universe and everything but since I’m the lazy kind I cheated of Douglas Adams and came to the conclusion that the meaning of life is 42. Don’t ask me why. Oh and I’ve added a link to wishwishwish.net, love it, the blogger whose name is Carrie seems really sweet. Now I’ve started re-watching Gilmore Girls, but think I’ll press pause so that Siri, Live and I get the time to arrange our Gilmore Girls marathon. Wonder what TV-series will be next though…I haven’t seen Grey’s anatomy though….maybe that’s next? any suggestions?

This weekend it was the Eurovision song contest, In my opinion the tackiest TV show ever, but you know, you kinda have to watch it, so this year my friends and I arranged our first annual Eurovision song contest mockfest, mocking the contestants outfits, singing abilities and most of all the wind machines! The norwegian entry was a rather mediocre pop song, althought I guess it will be stuck in my head all summer, the winner Russia, OMG it sucked so hard I can’t even remembe ritAnyways you always find something you just KNOW is going to be a hit when you’re table dancing at a bar in Greece…

Spain

Latvia

Denmark

These were funny too… Bosnia & Herzegovina

France

I didn’t watch it, but I read that Mayhem won the metal category, well done!! However the chicks presenting the metal award is sooo blaaah, Mira Craig an R’n'B musician, and Maria Haukaas Storeng, former Idol contestant, its should’ve been me handing over the award to one of Norway’s greatest metalbands, you hear?? IT SHOULD’VE BEEN ME!! I’d also like to say that the red carpet at norwegian events are really, really boring

This has been the week for reality show finales! Monday the finale of Top Model 2007 aired on Tv3, the finalists:

Ivanna Petrova (17)

Polina Barbasova (17)

and the winner…Kamilla Alnes (18)

Last night I watched the grand finale of the norwegian version of "Dancing with the stars" with finalists Mona Grudt (Miss Universe 1990) and Tshawe Baqwa (one half of the rap/hip hop(?) duo Madcon) I voted for Tshawe, and he won! :)

Last night, after Idol (can’t help it just had to watch!) i threw this thing together of my faveourite judge, Mariann Thomassen, the vocalist of Surferosa. And the ones moving on to the finals were Glenn Lyse and adorable Timian Ripnes Naastad…my faves last night. Glenn did his own version of Crazy by Gnarles Barkley, which I liked much better than the original and Timian did his own song "wakeup call"…<3

I had a quite stay at home evening last night, as I had so much planned for today. Anyways I watched Idol again..and got some favourites today too…

Firefighter Marius Barhaugen (21) sang "don’t let the sun go down on me"<3

Kim Gøran Hagen (17) looks like world Idol Kurt Nilsen and sings just as good as him too

Thomas Gregersen (18) a human beatbox as well as a singer

French/norwegian Christopher Johnsen (22), sings like an angel! 

another round of Idol has started and I had a quick look on the auditions last night, lots of crap, until this guy named Timian Ripnes Naastad showed up, seriously how cute is he? A charming young man, hope he wins…!!
