SCV: Does this all suggest society is very superficial? That only so few get on with things?
AA: I think it’s too easy to rock up to a scene party, dress a particular way, stand in front of the cameras and suddenly claim you’re someone. You’d be surprised but I know a lot of people where getting photographed by Patrick Mcmullan matters to them.
SCV: Really? I usually go into hiding mode if I see ever his camera crew.
AA: That’s why this handbag deal is ridiculous. Cause it doesn’t define me. My music and perseverance does.
SCV: Perhaps another smidgen of tea?
AA: You’re so polite.
SCV: On most occasions, but not necessarily every occasion…So we were talking about Adrien.
AA: We’ll always be each other fans and support network. We know the commitment it takes and are there to encourage each other.
SCV: So how does one become a star then?
AA: Some people say money, connections, a great dress. And that’s fine if you want to believe that, but what you have to believe in is yourself. That’s what it takes to be a star. And really it’s not necessarily about being a star, but just to be recognized for me.
SCV: So belief and dedication?
AA: That and follow through, everyone can turn up to a great party, it’s waking up the next day to do the great work that counts.
SCV: Should we ask for some more scones?
AA: But you haven’t even finished eating the sandwiches.
SCV: I know perhaps we should invite our photographer Lauren to join us?
AA: Of course.
SCV: Well only if she promises to leave me a cucumber sandwich. Last question. Do you think we should get Lauren to carry your handbag?
We all take a sip of our tea before nearly sputtering it in the air.
AA: Oh scallywag…
Scallywag would also like to thank Lady Mendl’s for their hospitality and for the divine experience. Thoroughly recommended.
Hello???! This person is a total unknown in Finland. She has once had her picture published in a gossip rag for having been at some F-list party witn some F-list “celebrity” who became “famous” from some F-list reality show called “Popstars”, called Kana (in English: “Hen”!).
Nobody knows about this Alexandra person. She’s never published music in Finland. The way she is trying to come off as an already established superstar in Finland and some future nternational mega celebrity is such a tragic, though hilarious, joke. This is obviously a person who has totally lost touch with reality. Although, I seriously doubt even she, herself, is that illusioned about what she is. Just trying to put on a show, most likely.
She could very well be this nice, positive, exciting person in real life (what do I know. I don’t know her personally), but please, Alexandra, stop making a complete idiot of yourself. Get real.
You know,I think she’s just being honest,I don’t know alexandra that well..but she comes off as a smart,together gal who knows where she’s going in life,what’s so wrong about that?I think its great that someone has a passion that drives them,I’m still trying to find myself..

Alexandra frequents many of our events,she is always polite,always pulled together and a wonderful example of what a young budding star should be!
hi !
As a ” big sister ” of Alexandra for many years in Finland ( she was my flatmate and used to co-ordinate fashion showsfor me in discos at the age of 16 ) I want to share that she is one of the most inspiring , positive , contagiously happy and spiritual people I know .
Go , Alsie !!!!!

It’s so odd, she sounds like she thinks she’s already famous. I’ve never heard of her before reading this linked from gawker. Honey, live your life — have a drink, hold hands. At this point NOBODY CARES!
“i know Alexandra personally”. Ha, fucking loser you are. I’m glad you know her “personally”, you are SO lucky.
I think the idea of high society being more closely related to low society is instinctively true, carnally true. When polarities like this are distinguished it makes for good writing, in the immediate ways. I think your paper understands itself, and resides in itself for that reason. Without acknowleding “morals” (I remember often telling ppl I did’nt believe in such a thing when I was in the city as a student: it allows people to be as they are, in their own skin, and reveal themselves to you. More importantly, your free to go about your own conversations with the outside world.), I can’t tell whether you’re eqauting most everyone, and or mocking them, and if humility is the confronting nature of it, where humor is the passifyer. Either way: it allows the writing, and issues, and the personal nature of it, a kind of mobility; one that is still fully assured of itself. It rides the fence, and so takes allowances with itself. It’s pillow talk, accesible, marketable, in the way it’s interesting bc of this? It’s also in continual states of provoking the world around it.
I know Alexandria personally, she’s an amazing woman. Very sweet, nice, and a great role model. Good luck with the music and great article. Nice vagabond found someone worthy to write about.
