What if musicals were the key to time travel?

✨ Me and Majsan, all smiles in front of *FLOWERS FOR MRS. HARRIS*, the best musical I saw in all of 2024 💐🎭. This throwback pic, the oldest on my iPhone, was snapped on December 8th at Wermland Opera in Karlstad, Sweden 🇸🇪. We’d come to see Niklas Riesbeck’s stunning direction—he’s truly one of Sweden’s two greatest musical theatre directors (the other? Markus Virta, of course) 🌟.

Majsan stands to my right, radiant at 60 in her navy jacket and glasses, clutching the floral program 🌸. I’m there in my acid green beanie 🟢, sequin hoodie 💙, graffiti-puffed jacket 🎨, white jeans 🤍, and dark green sneakers 👟—serving accidental street couture 😎.

We’d started the day early—Martin (who took the photo) and I met at Stockholm Central 🚆 and took the train to Karlstad. It was a Sunday, so we stumbled into a church service ⛪ (not my usual vibe 😅) before meeting Majsan at the vegan-friendly spot Zest 🥗. Martin, ever iconic, stripped in the church courtyard to change into jeans he’d just bought 👖😂.

The third image shows the glowing auditorium just before curtain-up 🎟️, with a dreamy cross-stitched scene of Paris—Eiffel Tower and Seine in pastel pink and turquoise 🌆🪡. The story, about a British cleaning lady turned couture icon, fit perfectly among seamstresses and dreams 💭🧵.

This memory means the world to me. A day of friends, trains, fashion, theatre, vegan food, and unfiltered joy 🚴‍♂️💬🌟.
