I RECEIVED THE BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER, BUT MY THEATRE JOB IS FORCING ME...

My friend gave my 80-year-old mother the most thoughtful gift ever, but is the theatre forcing me to give away my best stuff? 🤯🎁

Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Friday vlog! Today was a classic blend of high emotion, sharp style, and the delightful absurdity of life backstage. If you’ve been looking for meaningful gift ideas, sustainable style inspiration, or just a fun glimpse into the world of professional theatre, you're in for a treat! 🎬

The day started with a truly heartwarming surprise in the mail! My incredible friend Nina created the most thoughtful 80th birthday gift for my mom: a photo album dedicated to her life. And—surprise!—Nina sent a copy to me as well. Receiving that album was such a powerful, emotional moment. It’s a wonderful reminder of how important those personal, tangible gifts are, especially in the age of digital everything. I show you a quick peek at the beautifully curated photos; it was definitely a major tear-jerker. Thanks, Nina! ❤️😭

For today’s busy theatre day, I needed an outfit that could handle the backstage hustle while still looking chic. I pulled out a fantastic pair of navy pants from my recent second-hand haul: H&M Studio S/S 2018. These aren't just any trousers; they’re navy with crisp white top-stitching, giving them that cool, utilitarian 'workman’s jean' aesthetic, but in a refined fabric. This piece perfectly showcases how I use Sellpy finds to integrate high-quality, rare collection pieces into my everyday wardrobe without the high price tag. I’ll talk about why the H&M Studio collections are such great targets for sustainable thrifting. 👖✨

Once I got to the theatre, the fun began. I caught up with our Stage Manager, Simon, who dropped some daily wisdom on us: "You are what you eat." Simple, but a great reminder as we head into a demanding two-show Saturday! 🍎

But the real comedy came from Terran, our amazing Production Assistant, who decided to resurrect the legendary "Roulette" game from a previous show. The premise is simple: everyone brings an item they desperately want to get rid of from home, wraps it up, and one lucky/unlucky person wins a prize! It’s ridiculous, hilarious, and definitely helps us all declutter. I also got a fascinating, if slightly confusing, explanation from Terran on how the massive, industrial theatre humidifier works, which apparently lives in a secret zone "below the basement." Backstage life is wild, guys! 🤯

When I finally got home, I had to find a suitable donation for the Roulette game. I take you through my closet and show you some of the items that are non-negotiable keepers—the pieces I'll never donate. Then, I found the perfect victim for the Roulette prize pool. It was surprisingly therapeutic to clear out some of that clutter, even if I was passing the clutter on to a colleague!

BEHIND THE CURTAIN AT TRASSEL 🎭✨ | FASHION, VEGAN CHOCOLATE & INSTAGRAM ...

What happens when theatre, fashion, and technology collide? 🤔🎭

Join me, dresser and costume supervisor at Trassel at Oscarsteatern, for a dazzling peek behind the curtain ✨. Thursday, the first proper show of the season, and the theatre hums with anticipation ⚡️. Before the audience arrives, we run through roles — the covers and swings performing their third roles. Terran (Therese Andersson Lewis) dances seamlessly across all three female roles 👩‍🎤, while Henrik Johansson, who is on every evening, covers three others 🌟. Precision, artistry, and brilliance meet backstage chaos.

👕 Fashion Meets Function:
From my SELLPY box 📦, I select a Lanvin x H&M shirt — style in motion, practicality in the theatre. The costume department is a cathedral of organized chaos: shoes lined like soldiers 👠👞, costumes waiting for magic ✨, and every detail screaming history and beauty 📚.

🍫 Sweet Surprises:
Magnus, my dear friend, gifted me a vegan chocolate as thanks for securing his ticket 🎟️❤️. A reminder that theatre isn’t only glamour — it’s generosity, friendship, and small indulgences.

🎤 Tech and Magic:
Instagram’s new feature lets me speak Spanish in my own voice — and my mouth moves with the words I didn’t know I knew 🇪🇸💋. The future of storytelling is here, blending theatre, fashion, and technology.

💭 Why This Video Matters:
This isn’t just a behind-the-scenes look. It’s an intimate portrait of dedication, creativity, and elegance. It’s about the people who make the theatre world spin: the performers, the swings, the understudies, and the costumers who bring dreams to life 🎭✨.

OPENING NIGHT WEEK: LAUNDRY, BLISTERS, HARNESS-MAKING & SECRET POPCORN 🍿✨

What does a dresser really do during opening night week? 🎭
You might imagine glamour, you might imagine velvet curtains—but the truth is both messier and infinitely more fabulous.

🌟 In this vlog, I take you into my Monday. It’s not a run-through day, but it’s every bit as crucial. The weather itself feels like theatre: Septemberish 🍂—a touch of melancholy, a hint of magic.

The morning begins with laundry. I plunge into my great Sellpy bag 👜, a treasure trove of past and present, and unearth a red scarf from H&M Studio A/W 2017 ❤️. Clothes have memory, darling, and this scarf carries the whisper of another season, another self.

At work, the stories unfold. An actor, poor soul, has blisters on his feet 👣. Without hesitation, I ascend into the attic—the costume warehouse, a labyrinth of silk, satin, and dust. From this temple of garments ⛪, I bring down soft slippers ☁️, an offering of comfort in a world of pain.

Then comes the artisan’s work: shortening sleeves ✂️ (they are always too long), crafting a harness 🔗 (theatrical necessity with a touch of fashion’s wild heart). My day is a dance of needle and thread, invention and improvisation.

And then, the descent from stage to street. Potatoes 🥔, cabbage 🥬, onions 🧅, carrots 🥕—humble groceries but rich in promise. I carry them home like offerings from a market opera. And there, in my kitchen, the final act: popcorn 🍿, seasoned with my own secret blend 🌶️✨. It is theatre in a bowl, glamour in the ordinary, ritual transformed into revelation.

This vlog is more than a list of tasks. It is about finding the extraordinary in the everyday, about weaving art into laundry, groceries, and even popcorn. It is about backstage life: invisible, essential, poetic.

👉 Subscribe, darling, if you love daily vlogs infused with theatre, humor, and life’s unplanned fashion moments. Comment with your own secrets for elevating the mundane. And never forget—life is not ordinary unless you let it be.
