Waiting for my nails to fall off
Writing with these nails is such a pain I'll wait them to fall off before reporting Sparkle. Flew to Manchester, got drunk, had fun. Simples as they say.

Survival
All I can say is Phew, I survived my 3 weeks partygirl marathon and Pride which just finished yesterday with parade, picnic and parties. I'll write some proper report of this hectic week later but now just a quickie before going to sleep. Today I've been mostly carrying things around as I have new flat. Further away from DTM so I will not die of alcohol & dancing overdose and/or sleep deprivation ;) After 6 hours I need to wake up and get my honeybunny from the airport, she comes back to Finland. Crazy days are over, for the moment!

Proper Midsummer
This will be the super special post here: Valerie and Titania have united to make a-live-report from the Midsummer from somewhere deep in Finlands vast woodlands! Stay tuned and read!
Thu 23.30
I maanaged to log in. Hoorah! Just finished sauna with Tita & Nirppu, I'm afraid I'm terribly drunk. Err so we are having girly midsummer solstice - Juhannus for us Finns - party with the creme de la creme on the best of Finnish countryside: my place!
Titania's Midsummer Spell Party
Thu 23.46
We have arrived to Valerie's mansion and the Midsummer is going pretty well: Sauna, loads of good food, arsenal of alcohol and bags full of corsets, dresses, stockings etc to have superior trans midsummer.
Valerie and my precious girlfriend are fighting with each other from my toy weapons I brought from cheap mall on the way here. But now the grill is getting hot and i gotta go to make some super delicious Midsummer feast food!!!
PS. Sorry my bad english, i have used to make my posts finnish :L
Fri 3.15am
Super Thai movia Ong-Bak is finished, Nirppu's been sleeping happpily for hours and Tita just joined. What to do ?!? Looks like sleept time..
Fri 5.00pm
Haha! I woke up 11am with laptop on my lap. We hurried to shops for some last minute re-stocking. Weather's apalling, 12C and raining. Gawd Finnish summer! Enjoyed some very fresh potatoes & rollmops and I've been cutting the grass around mansion. Imagine Val driving the minitractor with a glass of red on the other hand. Unfortunately it doesn't have a cupholder :( Btw LOL, somebody from Norway tried to call me early in the morning. They had to call me because I didn't call them? (Finnish joke when you throw up because of booze = call to Norway).
Fri 6.40pm
Just remembered I need to finish some work issue.. Tita & Nirppu are made up, roaming around in skirts and taking pictures. After I finish this work thing I'll do the same and we can start the party proper. Evening's menu will be wild boar, cold smoked moose, maybe some lamb barbeque plus red. Let's get this party started! I'm excited how my hair will come, I'll report you after a moment. I'll be back!
Fri 7.23pm
Titania says:
Just awesome day! We made some last minute resupply from local supermarket at morning and made midsummer birches to front mansion doors. I made also some saunavihtas (small packet of birch) to whip sessions at sauna. So far traditions are complete!
By the way I checked Valerie's gigantic retail shoe stacks and what a lament!! I found so awesome shoes, exotic and full of jewelry but THERE WEREN'T ANY SIZES! Findig size 41 was hopeless. Im pretty tormented!
Now summer is shining again and real midsummer fest is starting. My friends, this will be a night to remember!!
TTYL!
Fri 8.50pm
Holy fucking fairy godmother! I just got new hair, and it's aaabsolutely fabulous change in appearance. Maybe I can finally give up wigs. World, hold on! You haven't seen anything yet.
Fri 23.55pm
Wild boar was excellent! Some quality time in Puuteri chat, then sauna. But what? Now I understand girls, I've got good makeup and hair, I don't want to o sauna. So I drink everybody's sparkling instead while they are whipping each other with birch.
Sat 0.52am
Titania's FLAME is ON!!!
OMFG!! Now the heat is ON! Im fresh from sauna and few vodka shots did the trick! We didint have the kokko, which is something like big fire for all you those dont luckily know finnish midsummer traditions! But maybe its just good...
We had nice "All the world listens to Tauski for 15 minutes". Tauski is funny old guy from 90s. Anyway his tracks are pretty good now!
We are all hungry again so i must warm the holy ball grill and make some nice lamb. FEEL THE FLAME!! Cya later! ;)
PS. Im trying to make more posts before i pass out... err forget what i last said :)))
sat 2.24am
Titania's commentary track:
I said that we didnt have the kokko but Val solved the problem. She went to make some light and we thought that she was kidding but soon we saw nice fire rising from the other side of field!!! We ran screaming to watch how flames were rising against the night sky! Omg I learned at last when she's no kidding...
Fiery midsummer!
Sat 2.50am
WTF I NEVER joke about anything - if I say it's gonna burn it IS gonna burn... Hmmm ok I do joke a lot but let's reformulate... If I tell I do something - I WILL do!
Anyhoo we've had a couple of drinks and we're enjoying life.
Sat 2.55am
Kossu with coke is much better than raw kossu!
Sat 3.03am
Britney/Toxic [Armand van Helden remix] - the party is here!
Sat 1.40pm
Life goes on! Had breakfast and coffee in sunshine. I woke up the darlinks with Tauski singing "Mitä jos?" (cover of "What is life?" that's so bad it's art). Now weighing if we need to go to service station to buy some supplies. Coffee's finished, cig and drink stocks are running low..
Sat 6.30pm
After hours of preparation and makeup we finally managed to hit the world. Went to ABC service station restock some items. I tried to dress under radar but my dear friend Tita decided to put her normal gothic prostitute look with corset, frilly miniskirt, high heels and drag queen makeup. Haha everybody stopped to stare at us. Well, those hillybillies would stare at Titas gg gf alone in her rubber pants and fire engine red heels - I guarantee! Maybe funniest thing s we were not bovvered enough to take any pictures. Now we are back on track, next up barbeque.
Sat 6.50pm
Titania's perspection:
Good morning! oh shit its evening again!! I didnt have chances to make posts here due Valerie's ultimate fingerprint security which protects her computer, but i managed to crack it so ill be reporting more.
We made some resupply again at local gas station which was open. At least countryside rednecks have something to talk about.
Now its time to make barbeque at our summer kitchen! I gotta go before ball grill starts to cool. CYA!
Sat 7.00pm
Chez Valerie ;)
Pilot of my upcoming cooking program "Valerien keittiössä".
Sat 9.50pm
We've had nice vegetarian barbeque (and lot's of other fun ;)) - Life is beautiful!
Come on, if nobody's gonna compliment on my kitchen video I'll take it offline :(
Sat 11.00pm
Titania is speaking:
Woohoo im fresh from sauna and we are making pancakes! Too bad all cameras are dead due bizarre problems with batteries :((
Night is going well and in field there is looming big midsummer bonfire which i build at afternoon...
Sun 1.30pm
Am I alive?
Sun 2.10pm
Yes, but I'm not sure about my phone... It swam last night. We had some serious gasoline powered bonfire last night, I'm happy there wasn't any collateral damage.
Sun 9.15pm
Finally back in city! Whoah what a long weekend, lots of fun and crazy partying in good company. My phone still seems to be dead, and we don't have much pictures because neither of us took the camera charger. So what, best pictures stay in memory.
Highlights of the weekend: my new hair-do, good food and red wine, visiting 24/7 service station / shop / restaurant complex full of people and causing a major stir, traditional bonfire with me throwing litres of gasoline in desperate attempt to boost it and then running screaming from the wall of fire with burning gasoline can in other hand. Sorry no video. And then my cooking program!
Maybe the best Juhannus, ever.

Vally soo ballyhoo
I know I've promised a zillion times I'll write about my adventures but but.. Mostly it just ends up in a short FB status message, an occasional flickr pic and some comment in Puuteri forum. As I have a Sunday morning lie-in I try to catch up on this week.
Thursday we hooked up ad-hoc with Patricia to go out. She's very nice but I've never had opportunity to go just two of us. Program was special because we stuck to normal bars! First to Baker's for their night starter special, 1e for glass of sparkling happy hour. That's my place! We managed to destroy several bottles' worth of the material. Then to one of Helsinki's most famous bars, Hotel Torni Ateljee Bar! Tiny panorama bar over the rooftops of Helsinki with special toilets: windows without any curtains opening over Helsinki. Had some glasses of sparkling there too and of course visited the ladies'.. Then erm.. we visited some more bars all around town before ending up in Kaarle XIII for the rest of the night. That's extreme I tell you, it's a place (especially on Thursday) for office people to party hard and look for one night stands. We fit there actually very well and had a blast. I'm afraid I did a crazy show again, judging from all the bruises and aching the morning after. Going home some man joined me and tried to talk me into having some intimate sessions. But as he was a bit worried if I'm really really a woman I politely told him to go to hell. What a blast, need to go more to mainstream bars!
Friday morning wasn't so much of a blast, I needed to go to work and I was simply dead (and thoroughly marinated) meat. Ouch.
Yesterday switched mode and had a huge dance party. I'll spare details for identity protection but let me just say it hell feels nice to still after some years be #1 dancer in country (in a certain subculture natch)..
Now waiting for tonight's burlesque party Helsinki to Honolulu via Hysteria. Should be grrrreat party - on a ship - with shipload of US performers, including Diamond Daggers, a queer vaudeville show group. I'm gonna make a bold move and wear my pvc sailor outfit from Amsterdam that covers about as much as a napkin of my body. That's why I've been running 10km sets and eating mostly salad this week ;) Pics will be delivered later. Helsinki Burlesque organisers Bettie and Kiki are the most awesome and lovely pair of ladies and they just love us tgirls coming to their parties.
Only problem is I'm not sure what shoes to wear, maybe I need to go look around shops today. My honey tries to point out I've got already hundreds at home (that's true, actually) but she doesn't really understand this shoe-thing. Every occasion needs it's own shoes and I'm definitely lacking pin up sailor pumps!
Some of these days I'm going to take a break from partying, but next weekend is midsummer fiesta and I'm organising girly party at my place, then next weekend is Helsinki Pride and I'm organising picnic in the park plus evening party to go and then Sparkle is around the corner..
Somebody give me second life.

Dress Sense
Fun to be in UK after almost two years. Two most peculiar things that make me feel like home: totally impractical, unusable taps (how many centuries to get them working?) and the girls' uberminiskirts downtown. My dress sense is out of scale in Helsinki but hey, nobody probably would notice me in UK.
I'm weighing if I'll be bovvered enough to put slap on and take the train tomorrow night to Paddington and do some wondering around town & maybe Trannyshack. Forecast for Thursday morning: very very painful headache plus the train tickets seem to be a pain in butt. Decisions decisions.. Small girl all alone in big town ;)
