I have a feeling Zoe may be getting a new model for her agency soon enough.

And here I thought she was on par with Marie and Sandra :o

Must be false modesty. Yup!

It's true.

All Swedish women (except me for some reason) are on "Goddess of Love" level of beauty.

She is indeed a wonderful artist who could doubtless turn her hand to anything, but from what I've seen, I don't get the feeling that she's very interested in depicting some of those bits in all their wrinkly Lovecraftian glory.

There's a family likely to induce body image issues in some of its own members. I'm also amused to see Marie getting so easily distracted from the problem she's talked herself into by flattery.

Credit to Eisu on the current catch-up splurge, by the way.

I was told by an American recently that all Swedes are naturally good looking.

I just gaze into the mirror for a moment and sigh.

Can I just point out that whoever writes this is seriously underestimating Swedes' mastery of the English language, both spelling, grammar, and accent? This coming from a Dane.

Actually, Ingrid isn't human. She's a whole mess of "Nordic" cliches, condensed into humanoid form and walking around Paris for some reason.

(The technical term is "tulpa".)

@Spidrift You don't say? Then why don't I see any beardy men with horned helmets or longships in the background? (/overlynarrowfocusonvikings #ruleofcool)

that's why she had to go to paris for her sexual self-discovery; back home had too many horny guys.

No, no, vikings were a thousand years ago. These days, Scandinavian guys are all far too moody and depressed. (A hundred years ago they were all respectable middle-class merchants and moody and depressed; now, they're all brilliant alcoholic detectives and moody and depressed.) It'd be enough to drive any hot-blooded young blonde to Paris.

(I used to know a British guy who was on the blond side of brunette, and who'd been sent to Finland on a business assignment for six months. He then discovered that he had mysteriously become swarthy and romantic-Mediterranean-looking, and he was also the only man in town who was sober by the end of any evening. Did wonders for his romantic life.)

(And yes, I do know that Finns aren't Nordic.)

Why picking girls in reality is not that easy? =((

Also, yes, most Sweden people are beautiful. Sadly, there are less and less with each generation.

And metal musicians. Don't forget the metal musicians. Also alcoholic, moody and depressed. :D
