Re: (TV) tom in ghent



Hey, Leif, that's a fabulous-looking Turning Torso tower!

Keith

It really is, but the townspeople have mixed feelings about it. I'm home for 
coupla weeks (soon going back to Stockholm) and since I have other people 
living in my own apartment, I'm staying with friends. One of them, Malin, is 
an anti-Torso activist, which you can see on her home page (www.glassa.se) 
where she's got "Fucking Torso" T-shirts for sale. I'm wearing one this very 
moment! Through an agreement with local representatives for the Swedish 
church - who, apparently, doesn't mind the profane language - they direct 
the money from the sale to the homeless in Malmo. Thus she can relieve some 
weight from her guilty conscience - she's actually a high-salary art 
director on an advertisment agency, residing in a top class condo in the 
centre of Malmo with no homeless people in sight. Left-winged, although. As 
is her 15 year old daughter, who have changed her image completely during 
the summer. From being a cute little girl she's now raven-black hair and 
mascara, red Converse shoes and Palestine shawl. Looks like she's ready to 
go out and burn down some fur coat store or something like that.
No further work at the evening paper in Stockholm, by the way. Might be as 
good. When I had to edit in an article about David Beckham's possible 
toe-flirting (with an enlarged detail from the photo agency delivered, 
paparazzi-photographed pic), I suddenly asked myself some serious quetsions 
about existentialism....
All the best!
