I was at Ylva's birthday party last night and Danne and Helena mentioned in passing,as though it was nothing very remarkable, that Lykke Li used to be my god-daughter Vendela's babysitter. I was gobsmacked. Lykke, for those of you who've just arrived from another planet, is one of the biggest pop stars in Europe at present and headlining at Roskilde this year. She's also a not unattractive young lass.
When you live on trendy Södermalm, rubbing shoulders with the stars in this way seems to be nothing remarkable. What else haven't they told me? Lady Gaga used to be their cleaning lady? Alice Cooper teaches at Simon's school? Björn and Benny work in their local supermarket. The king and his friends go the same nightclubs as they do?
Envious? Moi? Damn right! Out here in Kärrtorp celebrities are rather thin on the ground. Fat chance of rubbing shoulders with Morrissey in the queue at Konsum or running into Johnny Depp in the local charity shop!
