Red Hair

Kuva
Hair. Something we all have to some extent, whether it's on our head or somewhere else. I'll be focusing on the ones on my head on this post. The name ''Red'' obviously comes from the color of my hair. Well, not just that, but it definitely started that way. It has become the color of my very essence. Red is the color of passion and fierceness, in my opinion at least. And I have found myself with more passions than I can count. ''Hair is a woman's crown''. That's a sentence I took to heart in my youth. I wanted to grow my hair long and beautiful, so I could make all kinds of do's on it. I died it red when I was 12 years old. It started off as a mild copper-hue, but sooner or later it became full on bright red. And I loved it. When I turned 15, I was having trouble fitting in. Everyone else had ''normal'' hair, so I made my own so as well. I died it brown with blonde highlights. I also cut it. For a while I felt c...

A VERY BLUE STORY

Kuva
Hey everyone! Blue here! Today I want to shed light to a topic that is not that much discussed. Our channel and blog is a gateway for Red and I to make new stuff and be inspired. Our channel is a way to express ourselves and we really enjoy making new content. I am a very open person about my conditions and my life here on our blog and our YouTube channel, so I thought that I would tell you  my story. Ever since I was a kid I have been sick a lot, and by that I mean A LOT. I was always the first one in our family to get sick, and I have always been sick every few months. It is a vicious cycle. I remember having headaches quite often, and because of those I've had glasses since I was 14 years old. Still my headaches never fully disappeared. I have always kinda known there was something a bit off, that there was something wrong with me. I am a very happy person, very social and I like hanging out with my friends and going out. I like studying and I am very interested in th...

The Purpose of the Shadow

Kuva
Sabilla loved to lean on old trees. The shade was cool and bark felt chill on her skin. A gentle breeze that blew through the forest brushed gently against her cheek. Sometimes a beast of the forest would wander here to keep her company, be it a lonely bachelor wolf or a solitary bear. Sabilla felt a connection to the beasts, since they wouldn’t flee from her. They had an understanding, trust that could never be broken. Neither would hurt the other, and they would remain coexisting in harmony.  Sabilla’s eyes peered up at the light that trickled between the leaves. There was a time she yearned to feel the warmth and light, to be able to step out of the shadows and soar together with the birds. But that was never her purpose. She could live the light through her sister. The dark, ever alert eyes turned to glance to nearby stream. There she was, the light of the forest. A small river splashed as Sorina made circles in it with her hands. The water reflected the sunlight onto he...

Daughters of the Forest

Kuva
It was quiet in the council of the Forest King. The King sat on his mighty throne and looked upon his green land, the high trees, the rays of sun coming through the leaves and dotting the forest floor. For the first time in a millenia he felt at ease with his kingdom, but he had no one to share this serenity with. The Forest King searched for advice in the animals, and found a pattern. Everything has continuity, someone or something to continue their existence after they’re gone.  The Forest King smiled with a thought. He reached down and took a handful of moss, dirt and roots in his large but gentle hand.   He started molding, fashioning, detailing, until the he had formed a figure of a human of the soil. He set the figure down on a mossy rock in the shadow of an old pine tree. He cast a spell so powerful, that the whole forest held its breath. ’’From the soil and roots you will be born. Your ears will hear the smallest rustle, even the steps of ants. ...

Queen Of Everything

Kuva
Yes it is me, you look at me in awe. You should, because yes, it is me.   There’s nothing I don’t have, and what I don’t have, I don’t need. I would ask you to bow down, but you already are so much lower than me. Poor, poor you, down there. The world is my castle, that I own in my special way. There’s nothing I can’t have. I want more, there’s never enough. This isn’t good enough. More, I say! Give it to me, I need it! ...Wait... No It's too much Make it stop! (You can find the behind the scenes footage of this shoot on our YouTube channel ( HERE ). A HUGE thank you to our male models Mikko Wivolin and Pasi Salo, as well as our photographer Anna Pyhäjärvi and our asissistent Suvi Korhonen.  Queen's costume was made by Red, except the belt and skirt are rented from Cybershop.)

An Extempore Photo Session

Kuva
Hey You! It's Blue and Red here! We wanted to take good quality pictures for our banners and for our profile pictures. We have a few friends who are photographers, so we had a little session with our friend Anna. We wanted our signature colours to be represented, and we got this "great idea" of putting glitter in our eyelids. We wanted the glitter to stick really well, so we put liquid latex under the glitter.. in our eyes. Not the best decision Red has ever made but it was fun  :D. Here are some of the pictures that we took: Plus our profile picture and the one picture in the banner on this blog.  Have an awesome summer! Love, Blue & Red

Midsummer at a National Park

Kuva
Hey! It's Blue :) Midsummer is this summer festival that is celebrated is Finland, Sweden and in Baltic countries. It is a celebration on light and well, midsummer. I celebrated midsummer with my group of friends in Kouvola, witch is a smaller town in more of a central part of Finland. There we stayed in a cottage over the weekend. On Saturday (24th of June) we went on a hike to the Repovesi National Park. We had so much fun! The park was amazing. In the first part of the trail that we hiked, there was a suspension bridge. The bridge was some what 10m above the water. If you want to hike a trail, you always have to cross it. After crossing the bridge we hiked for a while and faced a big pair of wooden stairs that we had to climb. Some of our friends ran the stairs but the most of us just walked. The stairs end on a big cliff, that is 50m high and you can see 15km of forest from the top. It was a nice warm day so we sat at the top for a while and continued our journey...
