Dinner with friends and DJ’ing at the Spy Bar in Stockholm

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Last night in Stockholm and Sandra Backlund and I were asked to be the opening DJ’s at the Purple Fashion night. We were followed by Mandi Lennard and Kim Jones but the DJ booth had no needles so that put a bit of a damper on her set all those records and no needles to play. Kim Jones saved the day. Patrik Soderstam played after and then Nakkna/KCTV but by then I was back at the hotel and in my bed. Mandi nearly did not get in the Spy Bar because they told her that her 800 EUROS Azzedine sandles were flip flops and interdit in the bar.

Before our DJ set Kim Jones invited Sonny and me to the dinner for his 21h DJ set at the Vice dinner. Here he is with Jakob from V magazine. Afterwards we all went next door for the Vice party. Kim had a friend that just arrived from Sao Paulo so it got me into the mood of my trip on Tuesday. I cannot wait I’ve never been to Brazil and am impatient for my visit.

Robb Young, Mandi Lennard, Hermann Frankhauser, Joseph Quartana and I were the +46 Awards jury and we were all DJ’s as well. Here are Mandi’s Azzedine’s that practically had her banned fromthe Spy Club. We all really missed Robb Young…..

You need to have your friends at the DJ booth I was loving the fact that Joseph, Hermann, Kim, Mandi, Ante and Sonny were there keeping us company. I feel a bit like a fake DJ as I make the selections but I’m not actually spinning anything. Then again, they had no needles nor any head sets. Well, one set.

A big thank you to +46 for my warm welcome to Stockholm. Tonight Paris and Tuesday off to Sao Paulo.

Later,

Diane
