VIKINGTIME

VIKINGTIME

Wearing a thrifted tank, vintage Levi's shorts, Aldo bag, H&M hat, random jewelry and Converse shoes.

Just like zombies, unicorns, narwhals and ketchup, Vikings rank pretty high up on my weird-things-I-like list. So you can imagine my excitement when my parents declared a day trip to the town of Gimli last week, just in time for the Viking Festival! It was really awesome to see all these people dressed up in costumes (really heavy ones too, in 30 deg celcius heat) walking around this "Viking Village". People were roasting things and making weapons and clothes--it was as realistic as you could get. Not to mention they had a Viking battle demonstration--which was basically a group of really big dudes in heavy armor wielding odd weapons and running at each other. It was quite a sight, let me tell you!

But enough of me being nerdy. The real reason why I've been M.I.A recently has nothing to do with Vikings, although it wouldn't be hard to believe if I said I was kidnapped by a bunch of rogue Vikings and held hostage for a ransom of five goats or something. I mean, that's what they did to my mom when we entered the village, haha!

However, that was not the case. I've simply been busy applying for jobs (yes, getting a job was on my summer to-do list, remember?) and actually getting interviews! So far I've applied to a ton of clothing and shoe stores, went to two interviews, and acquired a third one tomorrow--exciting. I shall keep you all posted on which stores reject and/or hire me, but in the mean time, please enjoy...

...the rest of them VIKING PICTURES.

Cool dude making leather shoes the viking way!

And finally, AMAZING hand made solid silver Viking-style jewelry. Beyond perfect detail. Could honestly rival Pamela Love or the Row jewelry, and I'm not kidding. I really wanted to take a piece home, but unfortunately I was not carrying $125 in cash :(
