My first published article

and you will find it here but I gotta warn you it's in spanish. Not that I wright perfectly in spanish yet so I had someone to help me translate it. There is a story behind this article which makes it better. I had three days and writing for me was not a problem, the problem was the fotos.

Oh, and before I forget about it maybe you want to know what I wrote about. I got the assignment to write about mexican street fashion from a foreign perspective. Obviously, it's not my cliche to write about fashion and take photos of people making fashion poses. What I do like about fashion is how it comes together with the people's personality and how it differs around the world. It's well known swedish people are famous for dressing well and that we have thousands of fashionbloggers writing about it but there is more behind the clothing. There are an idea, a mentality, the person and the society. My story starts here.

I knew I had just a few days and with my birthday coming up I knew I had to finish up. My thought was to go in to the center of D.F. and sort out my thoughts and take photos for inspiration. I struggled taking photos because of my detox shivering stage. Honestly I don't think it's my detox here, well, I hope, I think I always been kind of a shaky person problems with concentration. Now it sounds like I have a disease and maybe I do. I cruised the streets in the core of the center. I didn't find much but at least I got to visit a stripper club with trash-class strippers (I think one of them was a man and the other one was pregnant, or a man). It was funny how the promoter fooled us and made us believe that the 6 beers will cost us 70 pesos. In the end we had to pay for the table and the (uhum) entertainment so it ended up costing us 115 pesos. As you can hear this day was not so giving for my articl e but I got a next mission that helped me on the way. I discovered there is a American apparel shop in the area Condesa which is now for being full with fancy people. Before I found my objects I just had to find the store which to my disappointment was closed.


I was so furious because during the last couple of days nothing has turned out in the way I wanted, and worse was that there was no sign saying the new direction of the shop. So we take some turns around the neighborhood and I found the shop Vans. I said to myself that if there are anyone who knows where the new location is of American apparel is the trendy people in this shop. They pleased me so much and on my way over there I could finally relax and find some cool people. Down below you can see photos from the parc Mexico.






After the peeps we found some different kind of street art and the house of bcn football hooligans?



I also found a nice hat but it didn't get to be mine in the end because the shop was closed when I returned. Notice the cool phone-booth inside the shop.



And finally we arrived to American Apparel and I lived happily ever after in their discount section outside.



Everything sorted out with the article despite all the turbulence in the house. I was not in my most inspired mood and it has been a long time ago since I was really inspired. Then again, you can't wait around for the inspiration to reach you and we all know you need to work your creative mind. This was definitely a experience of mind and I hope it's not the last one. I hope you liked the article and any comments given are appreciated. Now I need to go to bed because I'll have to wake up in like 2-3 hours, hurray! but then again I've been sleeping too much over here. I'm ready for action tomorrow, in different kind of senses. Take care of eachother and maybe the world will heal.
