• so i went to germany! (10/19/09) [View | Hide]

  Cologne was so cold! But really nice, I loved my little trip there. I have a little cold now, but totally worth it. Putting some more photos below :) In a little more than 24 hours we will be on our way to Tokyo! I'm so excited to be in Japan again, with the people and the food and the houses and everything. And Jun is there! I think my monster camera will probably either make me a cripple or a muscle man during this trip, but I have promised myself to bring it along as much as possible so hopefully there will be many photos in the end :) We're staying there until the 5th, but I'll actually be going to London for a few days almost straight after that. MAybe I'll be fed up with traveling by then, but if that's the time then that's the time! :) My friend who is traveling Europe wanted me to come hang with him there for a little while, so that's what I'll do. Oh and I'm bringing my iphone, so I should be able to get on wifi to check mails n such. (this one is not really taken by me, but i'm putting it anyway :p)

• so PRINCE WAS THERE (10/11/09) [View | Hide]

  I went with Sam to the John Galliano show a couple of days ago. The concept was a little bit the same thing as last time with the lasers, only this time it was smoke filled bubbles falling down on the runway. It was cool, but no way no way as cool as last time. I always have fun though ^_^. And we were right by the celebrities :P There was Dita Von Teese, Katy Perry, that MTV boyfriend she has and...PRINCE! My dad would have gone crazy, Prince was his big hero. I took photos of them, but they all came out shit so go look in the gossip blogs or something. Actually a lot of my photos from the runway came out shit. I'm not happy with the lens I used for that (=zoom far away lens) so I have to come up with something if I want to do these kinds of photos in the future. We'll see... I'll put a video from the show too:

• so i be travelin (10/7/09) [View | Hide]

  I'm going to Germany this next week! And Japan the week after that! \o/ I am actually completely broke so I will have a shopping budget of zero, but it's my own fault for not working these last months. I'm sure I will enjoy it anyway, despite the terrible temptations. I know I will! Because I love Japan! ^__^ Next week in Köln is just for a few days to see a friend of mine there. I've never been there before, so it should be cool. And I'm happy to see my friend. And then two weeks in Tokyo :D

• so i forgot to post these (10/4/09) [View | Hide]

  Oops! The shots are from August when Sam and Lolo came with me to my family's cabin in Norway. I don't really have all that many, as it was getting repetitive. I've been posting photos from there previous years as well. Oh and there's this magazine called Try State who features a couple of my photos this month. I'm pretty sure it's only out in America though. Maybe even only New York? Haha I don't know. But there you go :) It's fashion week here again. My friend Kim came to stay for a couple of days. He's Norwegian, but he lives in London now. It had been a while so it was cool to see him again. And I finally met Bryanboy too, at a party for Gareth Pugh. I'm not really sure how famous he is, he has this fashion blog. I'm sure the fashion gays of you know who he is at least. Anyway, he's really sweet and it was fun to hang out. Maybe we'll meet up again before the end of the week. \o/ edit: seems you can order a copy of the mag here

• so i have updated my website :) (9/28/09) [View | Hide]

  WWW.MARKUSBOLLINGMO.COM WWW.MARKUSBOLLINGMO.COM WWW.MARKUSBOLLINGMO.COM WWW.MARKUSBOLLINGMO.COM Go check it out! The splash page is mostly the same, but there are a lot more photos now and they are organised a little bit more sensibly. Let me know what you think :) && thank you so much to Laurent who helped me out again. He's the one who is putting all this together for me. He is also the one who took the photo above. Ikuko wanted me to model some of the hats that her mother in Osaka made, so there I am :P \o/

• so here's a little update (9/20/09) [View | Hide]

  I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I wanted to wait with the photos until my friend finished the other layout, but it looks like that won't happen any time soon. Also, I guess twitter is kindof swallowing a lot of the things that would have ended up in this journal. I should just post it both places regardless. Anyway, check out these photos! It's my friend Johnny from Brazil.

• so it is raining (9/1/09) [View | Hide]

  Today it has been 3 years since my father passed away. He got cancer, and he died just 5 months after he was diagnosed. I wrote a lot about it here in my journal at the time. Here is the entry from exactly 3 years ago: sipho.livejournal.com/220834.html Too be honest, I am not really one to miss people much, even if I love them. But I regret that there are all these things he won't get to see because he is not here anymore. He never met Sam or any of my friends here. He never knew I would end up going to Paris. Time flies... edit: Thanks everybody for the nice words. I'm sorry for not writing individual replies in this one...

• so picnic again yesterday evening (8/28/09) [View | Hide]

  Picunicu! Everyone has been coming back from holidays, so we met up again last night at Champs de Mars. So nice! :) And for the css layout, thank you to those who offered to help me. Sela is helping me with it now...she is amazing ^_^ I'm excited about it!

• so i would really appreciate (8/24/09) [View | Hide]

  I've said before that it is really bugging me how the background when you view inside my entries is white. It's an awful background for viewing photos. I originally had someone that offered to help me out, but he backed out so I will ask here again ^_^ And I found a livejournal layout that is sortof what I want, but not really (click here to see it), and so I'm wondering if anyone know enough about css to help me with this? I mean...tweaking that one into how I want. I never coded anything like that before, so I would really appreciate. I can't offer money either... :/ Anyone? *crosses fingers*

• so it's a nice day in paris (8/23/09) [View | Hide]

  Sunny with a fresh wind. So sweet! I've been hanging out with Allen, who is in Paris for the weekend. The city is still in holiday mode (a lot of the shops and restaurants are closed most of august), but people seem to be slowly returning now. All the Japanese are returning from Japan. Will be nice to see everyone again ^_^ These photos are of Alan (not Allen :P) and were taken before I went to Norway. There is a bit of nudity in there, just so you are warned :)

• so time flies... (8/21/09) [View | Hide]

  I'm back from Norway. It was coooold! Nice to be there again and see people again, but I prefer hot Paris ^_^ There's a problem with our internet connection since we got back though. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Until then we are borrowing wifi from a friend :P I don't know if they have this system in other countries, but here the internet boxes all have a part set aside for wifi needers in the area. Like... we use Neuf... and if we are out and about somewhere we can borrow a part of someone else's neuf wifi if we login with our password and id. Am I making sense? :P

• so i'm off again (8/12/09) [View | Hide]

  Sorry sorry. All I post here these days is "brb" and "b"... I don't even have the excuse of being very busy. I've just been super lazy watching hours of One Piece and sleeping sleeping. Shame on me! Anyways...dudes! You are so great! That thing I did on facebook...the fan page...already has 250 "fans". Way way more than I expected! And the thing that is really exciting to me is that I have no idea who many of these people are. That is so cool! For those of you who didn't see it yet and want to show your support, click right here. Arigato! ^___^ I'm dragging Sam and Lolo with me to Norway tomorrow, to stay a week at the cabin there. My mother says the weather is awful though, so I hope they will be OK. And is no internet up there at all , so I won't even be checking my email. Won't miss it either! :) But now you know. Peace out!

• so i did a facebook thing! (8/2/09) [View | Hide]

  Just posting quickly before going to bed... I always feel bad for rejecting people who send me requests on facebook, but I prefer to keep it to my closer friends. But! I have now made a facebook page just for my photos ^_^ So for those of you who use that website, please click HERE to find it. Show your support! Do the "become a fan" thing! Hopefully it will contribute to getting my work out there.

• so i don't actually have much to show yet (8/2/09) [View | Hide]

  I was looking over my photos from Amsterdam, and it just made me go "MEH". Not very good at all! Well I shouldn't say that I guess...sometimes I feel that way and when I post them people are falling over telling me how cool they are. So yeah I didn't edit anything yet, but at least I should write a little before it fades from memory. Things I remembered (I went once for a day when i was 17) that were still true: - Boys wear A LOT of hair product. - Dutch people love bikes. Especially the old shitty kind that noone will want to steal. - Dutch people love fast food. - They put ice cream sprinkles on their sandwiches. - They love house music way too much. Things I noticed this time: - It's so small! It felt even smaller than Stockholm. - The trams are SLOW. Sometimes you can almost walk beside them. They are cute though! - They have a new extreme right leader guy and this one looks really fucking creepy. But yes, I had a good time! Mostly chilling with my friend, walking around here and there. Those of you who watch my twitter (twitter.com/siphotwit) could follow my first time ever being high. I didn't smoke, but I had a "space cake" :P

• so i'm back back again, in paris again (7/31/09) [View | Hide]

  Amsterdam was nice! I'll write a little bit more about it when I have the photos from there ready I guess. For now I just have these from when we went to Provence. Enjoy! :)

• so hey you guys (7/21/09) [View | Hide]

  We got back from Provence earlier tonight. It was so nice, and I have photos too, but I don't promise that I will have those up before I leave for Amsterdam on friday. My next couple of days are unusually busy... We'll see! Major lightning storm outside right now. So cool ^_^

• so here's a little video (7/15/09) [View | Hide]

  Somehow I managed to kill the quality on this one during all the editing. It's all so confusing to me! But whatever, it's nothing serious :)

• so yesterday was "bastille day" (7/15/09) [View | Hide]

  It's a bit funny, because in France they just call it 14th july, and they don't have the habit saying "happy 14th" or anything like that to eachother. But it seems Americans do it? At least from what I saw on twitter... Anyway, we just went to Miki's place, which is not far from here. Jun was there too, so then we got to say goodbye again. I feel like we're always giving him goodbye parties :P He flies back tonight so...sayonara! Again! I had such a nice time though. I love these people a lot. The fireworks were soooo cool. It's the first time I've seen them launched from the actual Eiffel tower. Really nice! We're taking the car to the south of France tomorrow, and we'll be there for a few days. I think I'll bring my laptop though, so I should stay somewhat connected. Lolo's parents are going away for a while so we will just hang out there at the vineyard. I'm excited! It looks like a really cool place. And I've never been to this part of France before.

• so busy days, but good days (7/12/09) [View | Hide]

  It's summer in Paris and everyone is visiting at once. This is great for me, but it also means I won't always get to see them all. This time I missed Tao, and my friend Jimmy from Sweden. I especially feel guilty for not seeing Tao, but it seem he is moving here soon anyway so maybe I can make it up to him then. Busy again tomorrow too... And tuesday is Bastille day. Ay ay ay... I'm not used to all this activity :P Been hanging out with my friend Allen today, which was nice. The photos are from this amusement park they put up every summer at Tuileries, the gardens by the Louvre.

• so jun is leaving again (7/9/09) [View | Hide]

  There is a new law in France where if you download stuff illegally they will cut your internet access and make you pay a big fine. Boo :( I don't download much, but I do download the shows I follow. Even if I would wait until they came to France they would be dubbed in French and I can't stand that. Boo! I hope to figure out a way around it... Jun is going back to Tokyo again next week, pretty much permanently this time. So I made him model for me one last time :)

• so it's finally a bit cooler (7/7/09) [View | Hide]

  The last two weeks have been soooo hot. I kindof like it, but my backpack makes me so sticky on my back >_<. It's finally a bit cooler now though. Sam is complaining less :P Did I say I'm going to Amsterdam at the end of the month? Can't be bothered to check :P I'm seeing my friend Maladi. It will be nice! I haven't been there since I was 17... I was on a short exchange program to Utrecht and we did a day trip to Amesterdam. Hopefully I'll get to see a bit more this time. LEUK :) Hmm what else. We went to Japan expo, this big convention outside of Paris. We managed to sneak in by mistake lol. We parked in the backstage parking lot and suddenly we were inside. Oops! It was fun to see though. Those cosplay nerds look so awkward. It's like when straight guys dress up in drag...there is there crazy costumes, but zero charisma :P

• so here's victor and jun (7/2/09) [View | Hide]

  Victor went back to Sweden. Bye bye! Maybe he will come back again later in the summer for more model stuff. Also the mouse is gone now...the one that has been living in the apartment since september. These last weeks it has been looking not so good. We discovered it had lost an eye (!!) and the rest of it was looking a bit...worn :P So I caught it and Sam put it outside. It was a little sad, but she was really looking terrible in the end. And she had a fun life here these last months I think... I finally paid my photobucket, so I'm good for a year now. Phew! Took these photos of Jun and Victor the day before Victor left. I'm stupid not to have asked Jun to model for me before. He has a really nice body and he looks nice in photos. I borrowed Lolo's Bronica (medium format camera) again for these. I'm so lucky to know him. He is the one who helps me develop and scan the negatives. It takes a long time, so I really appreciate ^_^

• (6/30/09) [View | Hide]

  ok i reached my photobucket limit again and so all my photos are blocked but i think i will be able to pay this week! :P

• so summer is sweet (6/28/09) [View | Hide]

  Oh la la where did all you people come from?! Suddenly so many add me and comment my entry. I'm guessing some fashion community? If you're going to stick around, introduce yourself ^_^ Man such sweet weather this week. I love it! I love the HEAT :) Yesterday Koko did a birthday picnic by the Louvre and it was really nice. Most of the evening I was the only person who was not a Japanese girl, but after a while Victor arrived with a Belgian model boy. Lennaart? Shit I don't know how to spell his name. He is REALLY cool though. Piano student, and he speaks fluent Swedish. I was so impressed :P Oh and there was Sayako visiting from London ^_^ She is graduating there this summer. It's that big fashion school. St.Martins? Martens? Whatever. The famous one :P Koko is in that one too, but she is here interning in Dior for a while. I think? I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about lol. Oh and OMG so good food. I'm lucky to know these people.
