Karaoke Baby

I'm getting ready to kill the 1st song ha ha 🙂

I know, I know!!! It is NOT trendy neither cool nor sophisticated to sing karaoke. But seriously, you haven’t lived until you have given it your shot at Gloria Gayner’s ‘I will Survive’ at a Karaoke bar.

So when I got the invite to come down and make a fool of myself at the LA club VILA last Monday my inner child pulled my right arm and screamed ‘yes-yes-yes OMG how fun it will be. Get out your glitterati eyeshadow and work it girl’. While my more self aware and adult ego was pulling hard on my left arm and telling me to straighten my hair and grow up.

Funny thing is, my friend Swedish Bombshell and designer Emma Sandvik has history as a church singer and when she heard about the possibility of singing and drinking vodka in LA she was so excited that she almost fell off her chair.

So off we went. Me driving so I only had one cosmo for the night, which is very unusual for a viking like me, but it wouldn’t have been a problem if I didn’t have to sing….uuuurrrrggghh!!!!

I & Emma

Anyways, 3 waters (for me) and 3 vodka sodas (for Emma) later ‘The Scandinavians’ were called up to sing Madonna’s ‘Papa Don’t Preach’. It was actually really great because the acoustics are so bad in that club so you can’t hear yourself ha ha :-). So sorry for any inconvenience we might have caused others that night.

We ended the night with ‘I Will Survive’, but that was only because I made Emma swear that we would not sing any Whitney Houston, because I would have to shoot myself in the head after.
