Runaway Train

A little over a week has passed since my book party in Beverly Hills with Douek & Jones and I am still not close to rested. It still feels like I’m riding a petit, scrawny bicycle that is roped to a runaway train. Pretty intense. And it has now been confirmed that there will be another and larger party in NYC on December 5th. Details to come. Guest list is quite spectacular and it’s arranged together with Canon and Willoughby’s on 5th Avenue.

On a more personal level I have gone through a very tough and heartbreaking time. Still am. My beloved and dear beyond words grandmother passed away 2 nights before my book party. I had just returned to LA from Copenhagen where I got to spend time with her. She died after a full, adventurous and amazing life a couple of days before she would have turned 86. She is an eternal source of inspiration, love and power to me. Probably one of the only real female icons I have ever followed and looked to for advice. She taught me everything I know about style, fashion, etiquette and manners.

It is still unbelievable to me that she is not here anymore and I cry everyday. But as my mother told me hours before I went on the red carpet for my own party ”Your grandmother would say: ‘The show must go on! This party is in her spirit.” Her words helped me and I know she is right.

This coming Wednesday I fly back to Copenhagen to be with my family and to say my last goodbyes at the funeral. I’ll be back in LA just after Thanksgiving for a few days before I fly to NYC for the next book party.

Here is a little video from the Beverly Hills Party. It pretty much sums up the situation… And sorry for the swollen and red eyes. Now you know why… 😉
