A shocking encounter :-)

A shocking encounter :-)

I spotted these gals with their matching nail polish in Handen yesterday and decided to move in for a portrait. As I was about to explain what I wanted they cut me off and said "and now you want to take our portrait? That's right I said and that's when Emma (to the right),went into shock. When she came out of it her friend Matilda had already said yes to the photo shoot. But I don't have any make up on me Emma continued. I can't have my photo taken without make up! Can I hide my face? No, that doesn't make for a good portrait I said. But what if I hide my face behind my hair, that could work. Anyway, Emma (without the make up), works at a retirement home. Her friend Matilda works at an office. I asked if they had any fun hobbies and they told me, yes, we enjoy drinking wine! That's a hobby I am familiar with. What about anything crazy I asked and told them about Ego. And then they told me, we enjoy taking long walks. That doesn't really sound very crazy I said. But we do it differently they explained. First we make up a list with weird things we have to do during the promenade. Like what I asked? Like asking a guy if we can feel him up and grab his genitals! By now it was my turn to go into shock so that was that!

Aaaay, that is a different pastime. I wondered about the title (a shocking encounter) - more like..er.. close encounters of the third kind (Steven Spielberg). I do hope your jaw didn't thud as it hit the floor! lol

They are a couple of cute characters...why the peace sign, though? Ah, they were afraid of your camera.

Oh, did they grab as your jaw fell?

Wow, you do take risk`s Steffe!
But you did get a very good photo and some interesting and fun information!! ;-)

Anyway, enjoy the rest of your weekend, too.:-)

I think Emma and Matilda know how to pull your leg...they are too cute for words
I would have loved to see your expression when Emma said that : )

Haha! Sheryl cracked me up!

I have to admit (as I'm sure several other do too) that I had no idea where this was going to end up. As usual though, you get another A+ for this interview.

You and your interviews never seise to amaze me! I do wonder if you've become "famous" in Haninge?

What cheeky girls!
I can't tell which one is not wearing make up.

It's the one in hiding to the right :-)

Not sure about the famous part but I did get a call from a journalist today and he told me that the official Haninge municipality has put a link to my blog on their site. Oh and there is a photo of me at flickr taken just as I had approached Emma and Matilda.
