I know, I know... it's bad to advertise about music on a blog because people might have different taste than you when it comes to music. Well, I don't care! I urge you to buy the Two Door Cinema Club album called Tourist History, because it's amazing!
And if you don't want to buy it, at least take a listen to this amazing band!

Stylish photos.
I love looking in fashion magazines and at style photos, and sometimes you do stumble on one that is absolutely mindblowing.
While this one is not mindblowing, it's still a very good example of one of those fashion photos that will stay in the back of your mind, even if you aren't into the Olsen twins.

Rest in Peace, Troy Davis.
The 21st of September will be remembered for a case of injustice to an innocent man called Troy Davis.
Troy Davis. It will also be remembered as a day where a great amount of miscarriage of justice occurred.
Troy Davis was convicted of murdering a police officer in 1989, but 7 out of 9 eye-witnesses changed their testimony and there was no physical evidence linking him to the scene of crime. There was simply too much doubt to execute him.
Yet, it happened. The 21st of September at 11:08 pm EST Troy Davis died due to lethal injection.
But there are many Troy Davises out there - and the fight for justice towards them will continue.
Rest in Peace, Troy Davis - the fight has only just begun.

Just a little about fashion.
Whenever I'm shopping, my clothes tends to be either black or other dark colours (the exception is a red dress and a few pastel coloured t-shirts). What I tend to do to get some inspiration is to look at various websites.
Here's my suggestion for a more colourful outfit from Zara:
The Neoprene Studio top:
And to maintain the androgynous look, wear a pair of either brogues or bluchers with the outfit, like these:
I do believe this is a wonderful example that day-to-day clothes doesn't have to be dark! :)
All pictures are from Zara!

The Cranberries - Yeat's Grave Lyrics
I'm a big fan of W. B. Yeats and this song is a wonderful tribute to him. <3

Golden oldie!
A friend of mine and I were talking about favourite Bonds, and when the talk came to Roger Moore, I remembered this theme tune. The Persuaders is one of the best shows ever made, and the theme is equally as good. You're wellcome. Enjoy.
"Hello, my name is Danish"
Hi there!
Often, when I'm out, I get asked where my name is from because it's unusual in England. I've had from "Is it Polish?" to "Were your parents hippies or summat?" (yes, they do actually say summat instead of something) to which I reply that my name is strange due to my Danish heritage (imagine the people I'd be talking to say "Ooooh!" by this point).
But to be quite honest, I don't talk that much about the fact that I'm Danish, because it's not the first thing that springs to mind (and quite frankly, I've been a bit embarrassed about it due to Denmark's human rights breeches and having the Danish People's Party in power), but after Denmark had an election two days ago, I feel I can finally talk about it again and be less embarrassed about my own country. But enough about politics.
I've recently been listening to a lot of Danish music (including added song), and it's brilliant. I often forget how good Danish music can be, and I'm beginning to throughly enjoy that.
And so what if I've got to wear a nametag saying "Hello, my name is Danish" whenever I go out? At least I can enjoy some music that the people in England would never get the chance to hear. :)

X-Factor vs Little Britian? Have them both.
My friend Christoffer showed me this clip, and I quite frankly couldn't stop laughing.

Designer shoes and clothing vs High Street
Hi there!
Whenever I buy a fashion magazine (which I often do to look at shoes), the magazine often mentions a website called net-a-porter.com.
So today, I decided to check it out, and I remembered why I don't go to pages like that, because I go: "Oooh, I like that! OH! I like that too! I want that!" (this could go on for hours, so I usually only look for an hour).
http://www.net-a-porter.com/ shows designer brands such as Jimmy Choo, but prices are pretty steep, so I usually try to check out TK Maxx's website, just to see if they've got good fashion for an affordable price.
But most of all, I do like shopping in high-street shops (and their websites) such as Zara, New Look and places like that (in fact, 9 out of 10 of my current shoes are from New Look, who often sells leather shoes for about 25 quid), because you can really find an amazing bargain there. And as long as it suits me and is fashionable, should I then care if my shirt or skirt says Calvin Klein?
No, not really... but I'll probably spend a lot of time dreaming of the stuff on net-a-porter anyway, like these shoes:

A bit about a non-existing band called t.A.T.u
About a decade ago, there was a duo of two Russian girls (called Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina) who pretended to be lesbian and lovers called t.A.T.u. After having had a bit of fun pretending to be lovers during their first record, they released two other records (which never sold very well, which I can only assume is due to the lack of talent from both girls) and then split up after hardly no touring, delayed albums, one of the girls having two babies with two different men and a video where a pregnant woman gets shot, and they both decided to go solo.
I stumbled over this video from Lena Katina, who apparently is well into recording her first solo album, and I wondered: Why did they both say that they didn't want to do anything t.A.T.u, yet Lena doesn't seem to let go of the thought of Yulia Volkova being in a band-ish (or in this case, in a video)?
I decided to compare the two singers solo stuff with each other, and realised that Lena actually has the better voice. Where Yulia Volkova has a raspy voice that shows clear signs of no actual training, Lena has, at least in the video, what appears to be a very clear and strong voice. Yet, if you actually meet t.A.T.u fans, they all seem to be liking the voice of Yulia Volkova the best (at least, that's my experience), so is it about the appearences? Are they only just remembering the voices from 2000/2001 or 2002 (whenever they came out first) or is there something to Yulias voice that I just can't hear that makes it great?
And if you compare the two singers, who is most likely to succeed? Will it be the raspy voice of Volkova, who will most likely not tour (and if she does, she will most likely do it in Russia) or will it be Katina who seems to have the better voice?
Personally, I don't really care. I can tell you now that you've just wasted about 5 minutes reading about a shit-all "analysis" of a band no one cares about, just so you can read the fact that the only reason I uploaded this video is because I really like the egg-shell dress Miss Katina is wearing. She should get rid of the gloves though.
Much love from here!

The little introduction.
Hi! My name is Rikke.
I'm not exactly the best blogger in the world, but I will try to update the blog everyday. To make sure that you, the dear reader, doesn't feel like you're wasting your time, I can tell you know that I'll address subjects such as literature, fashion, movies, history (and religion) and other matters in the world, and about once every month, I will post one of my short stories.
If you still think that this would be worth reading, then please carry on, and for that, I will say Thank You.
