Eurotix on vinyl and cassette?

Check out this cool fan art that our Russian fan "Dinya from Petrograd" made for us! Maybe this is what our Eurotix single "I Plead Insanity" would've looked like if it had been released on 7" vinyl and cassette back in the eighties? We love retro!

Vlog: Merry Christmas

I made a little Christmas greeting for you:

Me and mum in 1986

Happy fifty-seventh birthday, mum! I'm so thankful to have such a supportive mother. Thank you for always being there, and for teaching me to be myself and not take crap from anyone. Here is a photo of us two, taken in 1986. I'm dressed in pink, of course ha ha!

Tom Daley comes out as bisexual

British diver Tom Daley came out of the closet today, in a YouTube video where he reveals he's fallen for another guy. He's very brave! I think it's great that celebrities come out because it shows other LGBT people that they're not alone, and that they don't have to hide who they are.

Eurotix - I Plead Insanity (EP)

My synthpop band Eurotix just released our debut EP "I Plead Insanity"! It was the first song we recorded together, so it holds a special place in our hearts.

Kids React To Gay Marriage

You have to check out this heartwarming video where kids react to gay marriage. I think the world would be a much better place if grown-ups were as open-minded as children.

"Justin Bieber married a guy!"

To Russia: Love always wins

I just wanted to share this important video to show support for my LGBT friends in Russia. I really hope the Olympic Committee will take a stand against this discrimination. Please share the video with your friends. Thanks!

Deleting Facebook friends

I use Facebook for staying in touch with friends and family, but also for networking and chatting with people who share my interest in music, movies etc. However, having too many "friends" started stressing me out, so now I'm unfriending people I don't know well, or people I don't speak to very often. I used to feel bad when turning friends requests down, but have realised that I need to do so for personal reasons.

I don't want to sound ungrateful or snobbish. It's nothing personal, I just need to focus on my closest friends and family. So if you've been unfriended, it doesn't mean I'm angry with you or that I don't appreciate writing with you every now and then. As you know, Facebook and other social networks are updated in real time, so too many "friends" makes it harder to keep up with your loved ones.

Only some of the posts on my personal Facebook profile are public, because I want to keep my privacy. But you're welcome to subscribe to my profile or like my pages Bimbo Boy, Plastic Retro or Dennis Alexis Hellström to stay updated. I'm also on Twitter, Google Plus, Tumblr and Instagram.

I don't mind getting to know new people and having online friends, but I can't accept requests from all the people I sporadically chat with. If I did, I would drown. If people choose to take it personally, that's their prerogative, and I'm sorry about that, but I have to do what's best for me.

Thank you for understanding!

Bimbo Boy - Je Suis Une Superstar (The Sims 3 Video)

Time for a flashback! My Bimbo Boy song "Je Suis Une Superstar" was originally released in 2005. I just realized this version isn't on YouTube so I made a little video using "The Sims 3". It's about Jimmie Crocker who has a hot dream about his cute mailman. Enjoy!

The song was written by me and Måns Ek, and produced by Måns Ek and Istvan Stenberg. You can download a free MP3 of the track from Soundcloud. Stay tuned for more news about my new project Eurotix!

Hello, world!

I believe in second chances. But not in third.

I believe in second chances. But not in third. At least not if the person still refuses to change his or her negative attitude. Life is too short to let bitter people steal your energy year after year. I know it feels terrible to end a friendship, but people who bully are not real friends anyway, so there's really no loss.

Just wish the drama queens well, say goodbye and move on with your life and I promise you, you'll feel a lot better. Don't take crap from anyone, because you deserve only the best in life!

Eurotix - The Secret (Dance Version)

Don't force gender roles on children!

I will never understand parents who don't allow their children to be themselves. If a boy wants to play with dolls and wear pink, let him. If a girl wants to play with cars and cut her hair short, let her. It should be their choice. Forcing gender roles on children is bad parenting and it saddens me that this is still an issue!

Here is a photo of me, taken on my fifth birthday. I was so happy! And no, playing with dolls and dressing up as a girl didn't "turn me gay". I was born this way and I'm proud of my parents for allowing me to be myself, no matter what. Please share a link to this post to show your support!

"Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots. 'Cause it's OK to be a boy. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading. 'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading. But secretly you'd love to know what it's like... Wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl."

Rumours and lies

You wouldn't believe all the crazy rumours I've heard about myself over the years. Some of them even made me blush, and I'm not easily offended. There was a time when I used to get really upset about it and tried my best to deny them all, but after I while I realised it was pointless. You can't be loved by everyone, so why even bother trying?

I've come a long way since then and I've worked hard over the years to build up my self-esteem. Nowadays, I mainly laugh at rumours, but most of the time I don't even waste energy listening to them. People can think whatever they like, that won't change who I am. My friends and I know the truth, and in the end that's all that matters.

I believe in turning bad things into something positive, so nowadays I choose to take rumours about me as a compliment, since they just give me more exposure. I mean, if people spend their time making up stories about me, that must mean I'm pretty interesting, right? You know what they say, you're nobody until you're talked about.

It's funny though how people who spread lies about others actually think that it will make them look better. In the end, gossip always makes the person spreading it look worse than the subject of it. And so what if some people get the wrong idea about me? People who believe rumours instead of making up their own minds aren't worth taking seriously anyway, so it's no loss.

When I was a kid, my mother always told me to be myself and to stand up for what I believe in, no matter how much people bully me, and I'm so glad I haven't changed to please others or to avoid being the subject of gossip. For example, if speaking up against injustices makes me a bitch, then I'm a big, proud superbitch.

I no longer feel the need to be loved by everyone and I'm finally strong enough not to be affected by gossip. Instead, I thrive on it, since it only means that I'm interesting enough to talk about. And you know what? I'd much rather be called a bitch for being myself than called a saint for pretending to be someone else.

New project

Hi everyone! I hope you're fine and that you're all having a great 2013 so far! I'm currently working on new songs for a project called Eurotix, together with my dear friend Larry. I can't wait to share the music with you all! Hopefully, there will be a teaser out very soon.
