Björn Borg - Spread the Spirit

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........,


I met Miriam from Björn Borg, Stockholm. :)

She came to Amsterdam for business (just hanging out with her colleagues and get payed for it...) and invited me to the fashionshow of BB's SS 2010 collection which was held in the Westerunie.
To be honest, I just wanted to go to the afterparty and have a dance with Miriam and all the other models, wannabe's and other bloggers whom I recommended Miriam to invite to this party. Unfortunately I didn't see one of 'em. Too bad because, despite the fashionshow was 'so and so' (in Holland we say: 'Mwah'), the party was quite fun. Free booze.

Here's the low quality amateur-ish promotional video of the party with Dutch model Doutzen Kroes. (I don't think it's an official promo-video though...hehehe. It's in Dutch by the way!)

Some shots of the night!

Waiting 'till the fashionshow starts


This was not the runway! Dancers standing one floor up, entertaining the people during the short breaks.


Fotografen


I didn't take any pics of the models during the fashionshow because I was standing too far away from the stage. At the end, I sneaked a little closer, accidentally stepped on someone's shoe, apologized and took this pic.

I did take a pic of Doutzen Kroes when she was walking the runway at the end. But it only shows her bum (I was too late...). If I would get at least a 100 comments of people (probably guys) who wanna see the pic, I'll then post it up.


And then it was time to parrrty. Free booze.


My dates for the night: living doll T. (please, click on the T!!) and lovely L.

ja, ik was er de hele avond bij! stond wel compleet aan de andere kant, precies achter één van die twins (met paarse shirtje). ik zag jou inderdaad ineens op een foto, toen ik ze de dag erna nog eens bekeek.

to answer your question - no the photos weren't taken with a disposable just a normal digital camera, that needs to be fixed =[

Oh J.D. you lucky man you. Isn't miriam so cute? I can't believe you got to meet her, go to the fashion show, and go to the party. It's like a dream.
I love the way you wrote about it, in your complete honesty of wanting to drink for free and dance with the models. You never disappoint. xo

Hahaha, when I started reading about the low quality of the promotional video, I was like "Hmm maybe I'll skip it", then you said it was in Dutch and I was like "Oh, wait, I GOTTA SEE THIS!" Dutch sounds sooooo awesome!!! I played it like three times just to listen to it again and again<3

The party looks like it was fun, and I liked T.'s Flickr page, I perceive a Frida Kahlo influence in the first few illustrations.
