So the results are in and we know the first 8 who did not make the final. Am I happy about the result? Yes and no. I am super excited for the Netherlands: While Douwe is a little charmer his performance was really good and even the awkward 10sec break was easily covered. We will see if he slows down in the final.
With a sad eye I see Finland go. They were fun but screwed up the live performance vocally. San Marino should have gone through just for the fun of it: I did not know that they would not go on I didn't know! Czech Republic, I have to be happy about as a member of the OGAE Ireland is one of the composers. So after the show we want to the after party in the Euro club - we had too much fun for photos. We were interviewed live for the Swedish Express. I will see if I can get a snip it from the interview. Other than that we danced with Krista and Sandhja from Finland, had great fun with the press, the fans and some of the other artists... We went home when the sun had already risen again :D

Today was in incognito - I was still black/red/gold but not as out there as yesterday. We went to see a meet and greet with Just from Latvia and Eneda from Albania. They were great. We also managed to sneak into the Australian Party where Dami performed an acoustic version of her Sound of Silence.
The Jury Final was brilliant and I can only recommend to watch it on Tuesday. We planned to go to the the Party from the Irish delegation, however, we arrived too late and the irish had already moved on. :( but we had a lovely chat with some irish lads at the international pub Stockholm. I think they were having a laugh at our expense at first but we quickly won them over ;) - oh the joys of living in blanchardstown. Now with our last house guest arriving too, we will see what the next day will bring. .. hopefully some partying. .. Sunday was the first real day of Eurovision! It was amazing! We went to the Eurovillage and actually got some great pics done there. But not much fashion was happening here. BUT then we had the opening ceremony and it was way better than last year. While last year fans had not much of a chance to interact with the stars we were in first row and met almost all the stars! We had a lot of selfie actions # Eurovision Red Carpet, I created an instagram handle and a twitter page but have not yet used them, but as soon as I am back at home I will try to find all the pictures and re-tweed them. Our dirndl were a full success with a lot of the artist stopping to talk to us. My Top 3 fashion Outfits have to be Poli (maybe because I just love her and she just looks stunning in this white blazer/sheer skirt combination), Greta with her lace jumpsuit and by far Nina with her modern metal corset/ black fishnet dress.
However also worth mentioning was one Frans delegation, where I found the best hairstyle of the night At the moment I am filtering through all the images. And uploading everything via the phone takes a while, but I will try to add all the pictures that I can later. We had German Dirndl day: A Leo-dirndl with a golden apron, red tights and golden glitter shoes! Yesterday was all about arrival and settling in. I got my accreditation. So now I can go to euro club every night :) I met with diarmuid, the "leader" of the ogae Ireland. I had a great evening though paying 200 krones for breakfast is some getting used to even if it is just 20 €. My choice of shoes was definitely poor. .. my feet=blisters :(
I'm excited for today. I will try to post pictures of the opening ceremony tomorrow morning. My flight to Stockholm is in a couple of hours and I take the time to upload my fashionable nails and my new hairstyle. Unfortunately the yellow mixed in with the red making my ends orange rather than gold/yellow. I still like it- even for Eurovision:
Okay, this is fashion that usually would not match my style, but we are talking Eurovision Song Contest! I have always loved it and will probably always do. And as I my new models backed out of the fashion shot I cannot really give more info on the collection. So for the coming week I will post my outfits and the latest news from Stockholm. This should be a good way to fill the gap between now and the finish of my SS17 collection. Yes- that is right... I handed in my SS17 designs for production. they should be ready end of May. Also I have a few new Bio-Cotton Prints that most likely end up in stylish shoppers. but more about that after Eurovision... for now I am counting down the days to Stockholm. Starting with a new Hairstyle on Friday!
