Chic Today article - A New Skyline
Ultra Swank continues to collaborate with British lifestyle magazine Chic Today and today the second article from me was published in their magazine. It is called A New Skyline and focuses its attention on the architectural changes in the western harbour in Malmö, Sweden. Not more than 20 years ago it was a rural and industrial area. Today it is a upscale and chic residential area with a 54 story designers dream skyscraper as its crown jewel. Comments are as always much appreicated.
Oh and by way, Ultra Swank celebrated its 3 year anniversary on September 1st!

My name is Chris and I live in Sweden. I love the 50s and 60s lifestyle and design. I am very fascinated by the architecture of the period too, for instance googie, modernism, the work of Joseph Eichler, John Lautner and Arne Jacobsen's international style. I have a large archive with space-age, library, bossa, cocktail, retro soundtracks and exotica music. I also believe that things were better in the old days.

Thanks Charles! And by the way, what are you doing up at five in the morning? Making evil schemes to take over the world from your lair I suppose?

I'm an early riser. I don't want to take over the world. I just want to invade and conquer the evil empire--Canada--so that we can add more states to the union. Once that has occurred, I plan to build WalMarts all over Sweden so that American mediocrity will be felt. Oh wait! The world has felt American mediocrity for 8 years. Ummm. Nevermind! I'll hatch another plan.

No need for any Walmarts! We already have plenty of McDonalds, Burger Kings, Pizza Huts, Wayne's Coffees and who knows what else. Good luck with the elections, don't screw it up again people ;-)
