The Finnish company Vaasan & Vaasan made three short documentaries about the "unknown" champions in Finland.
In the first video we have the world championship pole dancer Oona Kivelä.
In the second video we have one of the best bboys in the world Jussi "Focus" Sirviö from Flow mo crew.
And in the third video we have the Cheerleading team Funky Team Gorillaz. They came third in the world championship 2013.
Can't be more proud of these athletes. They have shown us how hard work really pays off. Like i always say love what you do and do what you love. That's the key to happiness.
And last but not least I'm super proud of my husband who produced the music to these videos!!!!
Iggy Azalea's new video is by far one of the coolest video in awhile. Clueless is definitely one of my all time favorite chickflick!

Been reminiscing the golden days of hip hop. Had a lot of good memories while to this album.
You can't go wrong with this bad boy!
Mase- Harlem World (1997)
Dj Mustard did it again.
He has produced almost every single thats been coming out this year like the one below. The catchy hooks, samples and the "hey" chants are definitely his trademarks, but hey if you can pop singles out like that. I guess he's doing something right.
Trey Songs - na na na (produced by DJ Mustard)
My favorite song this year is Tinashe's 2 on featuring Schoolboy Q (produced by DJ Mustard)
Last sunday EeachOneTeachHelsinki ry organized a event called EOTH in vogue. We as a vogue dancers felt like we need more smaller events and battles in Helsinki. Couple a years ago the scene was growing really fast it was the "Thing" to do. Everybody wanted to learn voguing. But after year or a two people started to disappear from the classes. I heard people saying shit like " It get's boring" or " It's easy" and so on. Now we are at a point where there is maybe handful of people who stayed active. Shout out to the House of Milan (Jenni and Lilli) and The House of Ninja and The House of Ultra Omni for keep in it real.
We need to get better and stronger together!
Our biggest goal is to have a active scene that would start growing and evolving to the next level.
I hope that all the Vogue dancers that didn't show up last time come to the next event and show their support.

Winner Anneli Ninja
The lack of participants changed the hole battle concept to another level.
We decided that all the judges will compete and give feedback to one another. After every round we would go thru what happened and what could be done better. We talked a lot about different elements and categories, performing and battle techniques. It obviously helped a lot and i even remember one of the dancers saying that "I've never been given so much feedback". I think we accomplished a lot even though there weren't many of us.
I would like to thank everybody who showed up! It really means a lot. Even though this event wasn't in a club or if you can say in a "real" environment it was really important for us.

Yes, it was about time to go and visit our lovely neighbors The Swedes.
This time our plan was to go and see Drake's concert and of course hang around with our friends.
BTW! Just got a new Samsung NX 1000 camera so ill be taking a lot of pictures from now on. Hopefully the quality of the pictures are better than before.
Check it out!

It was so nice to meet this couple on the plane. We decided to hang around in the center for a while and even had a nice lunch at this italian restaurant at Galleria. We were so hungry i forgot to take pictures. After that we did some shopping and then headed to our hotels.
We were staying at the Story Hotel in Östermalmtorget. It was a design hotel with small little bar attached to it. I loved the atmosphere and the paintings in the lounge and kitchen area. I even heard that every room in the hotel is decorated differently.
When we got to our rooms it was already 15.00. We decided to chill before the concert, take nap and then go to -->
GLOBEN!
I have to say that this was by far one of the best Rap/Rnb concerts I've been to. The shape of the stage, the lights, the visuals were sick.
This guy really put some hard work in to this and he actually nailed it. We saw Jhene Aiko and Weeknd on stage as well.
