An email pops up on my phone one afternoon. "Yes, we'd very much like to use your after picture at the breast surgery ward. We just need to figure out the details.

Alligevel ser man stort set aldrig kvinder med et bryst eller uden bryster. Jeg ved hvorfor og håber på, at vi kan… Continue reading Politiken kronik: Bliver jeg en freak?
Summer is coming to an end and my favorite season is here. I love the colors of autumn, the leaves turn orange and red, and the wind and rain sweeps everything clean and fresh. But yesterday the colors weren't there at all and it was just a splash too grey. Unfortunately I had to postpone… Continue reading Finishing line just became a moving target
