Video #21: Bend it like Francis Bacon

Unfortunately, but almost in the spirit of Francis Bacon, this video is totally deformed. The Francis Bacon exhibition takes place in Tate Britain September to December. I went there this Sunday, and I tried to be discrete shooting inside the museum. That wasn't very successful as anyone can tell by the result. The exhibition was extensive and good though:)

Video #20: Sunday Sunshine in Brick Lane

Lucky, lucky me, I got to go to London, for business this time, and I got to spend a Sunday off. To me as a tourist from Oslo, the most fantastic way to spend a sunday in London, is to crawl up and down Brick Lane. Here I get to listen to live music, watch people, smell the spicy barbecue, check out the BL - market and the Sunday up-market, and eat indian food or organic salads and pizzas. Yummy! And it was really sunny and warm this sunday, September 28. People were wearing shorts and slippers. TO BE CONTINUED...

Video #18: Market Mania in Portobello Rd

Portobello Road Market is always a joy, especially on fridays when the vintage clothing area is extensive. I spotted fantastic dresses, uniform jackets, boots and bags, and the struggle was to limit myself. I bought some great grey and black boots, and not to forget some super cowboy boots. Yii-haa!! 

Video #17: High-Street Heaven

In London I was happy to find the Kate Moss collection at TopShop still available - many good pieces!! I got the basic tees, tights and tank tops at American Apparel. Urban Outfitters had some fun Andy Warhol tees, and at ultra cheap Primark I got blouses and wool sweaters for only GBP 8,- a piece. In Primark you have to look a while to discover the nuggets. The video was shot in and outside the stores. TO BE CONTINUED

Video #16: London in a Nutshell

Last friday I performed a little experiment. I travelled Oslo-London-Oslo on the same day. I flew to London on the 06:50 flight and back at 20:00. My main purpose was to go shopping, and I shamefully admit that this was not an environmentally friendly act. I am considering how to redeem myself! I promise! I had 7 hours available for shopping, and I planned to do high-street shopping in Oxford street, high-end shopping in Knightsbridge and second-hand shopping in Portobello Road. Luckily I did not have time for the high-end shopping, so I can still afford to eat nuddles and dry toast the rest of the month. 

The costs:

Air Fare - Nok 1000,- (roundtrip ticket)

Airport express Oslo - Nok 320,- (roundtrip)

Stansted Express - GPB 36,- (roundtrip)

Day Pass London Tube - GBP 8,-

High-street fashion shopping &&%%$$$#!!!! over budget

Second-hand shopping in Portobello Road ###%%$$!!!!! over budget
