“You remind me of Katy Perry!”

 A brief encounter in the street could lead to a Stellarium makeover. One early morning when I getting myself a cup of coffee on the go, I noticed a woman in the queue in front of me. She reminded me so much of Katy Perry, and as I can be very familiar with people, I just had to tell her: “You really remind me of Katy Perry!” She looked at her coffee cup, smiled, and said: “Yes, I get that sometimes…”.

By the end of that conversation, I just couldn’t resist and asked if this mysterious black-haired woman would like to come do a Stellarium makeover. She promised to give it a thought, so I gave her my card. When I was leaving, I also got to know that this Katy Perry look-alike woman is actually called Kati. Spring become summer. Kati was still thinking. Summer was over and gave place to autumn. Until the H&M campaign was announced. 

So I wrote to Kati and said that this campaign is definitely a sign that she is much welcome in Stellarium. Kati was still hesitant and thinking about it. One evening I finally got her much needed “yes”. So last week in the H&M showroom, an amazingly expeditious team of four women got together - they were all working around Kati. One was doing her hair, another one was doing her makeup, the third one was choosing the outfit, and the fourth one was taking pictures. Our night was full of excitement, chocolate candies, and coffee. All in all it took us eight fun hours and photographer Meisi Volt got four photo series of Kati. Our photo sessions were made after Katy Perry’s H&M campaign that currently has taken over all the streets of Tallinn. As all the Christmas parties are still ahead of us, the first two series are made for those who need inspiration for how to be the belle of the Christmas party ball. Mother always told me that you shouldn’t talk to strangers in the middle of the street, but this photo session proves the opposite. For the end of the year we have this wonderful makeover and there is only one thing left to ask - how do you like it?

Don`t miss: "All love, Katy Perry"

Juhuslik kohtumine tänaval võib viia Stellariumis muutumismänguni. Ühel varahommikul läksin endale kohvi kaasa ostma ja järjekorras minu ees seisis naine, kes meenutas mulle Katy Perryt. Ma võin vahel päris familiaarne olla ja niisiis ütlesin talle: "Te meenutate mulle Katy Perryt!". Ta vaatas oma kohvitopsi, naeratas endamasi ja vastas: "Jah, vahel seda mulle ikka öeldakse..." 

Lõpuks ei suutnud ma kiusatusele vastu panna ja küsisin, kas see salapärane mustapeaga naine tuleks Stellariumisse muutumismängu. Ta lubas mõelda ja ma andsin talle oma nimekaardi. Lahkudes sain teada, et Katy Perryt meenutav sinisilmne kaunitar kannab nime Kati. Kevadest sai suvi. Kati ikka mõtles. Suvest sai sügis. Kati ikka mõtles. Kuniks ilmus välja H&M`i kampaania. Kirjutasin siis Katile, et see kampaania on kindlasti märk, et ta on Stellariumisse oodatud. Kati ikka mõtles. Kuniks ühel õhtul sain tema jah-sõna. 

Läinud nädalal sai Tallinnas H&M`i showroomis kokku tegus tiim - neli naist sagisid kõik ühe Kati ümber. Üks tegi soengut, teine meiki, kolmas valis riideid ja neljas pildistas. Meie õhtu oli tulvil elevust, trühvlikomme ja kohvi. Kokku kulus meil kaheksa lõbusat tundi ja fotograaf Meisi Volt tegi Katist neli pildiseeriat. Meie pildiseeriad on sündinud inspireerituna Katy Perry kampaaniast H&M`ile, mis on hetkel kõik Tallinna tänavad vallutanud. Kuna jõulupeod on ukse ees, siis esimesed kaks pildiseeriat on mõistagi pühendatud neile, kes otsivad inspiratsiooni, kuidas jõulupeol teistest kõige enam särada. Teised kaks pildiseeriat ilmuvad peagi! Ema ütles mulle alati, et võõrastega ei maksa tänaval rääkida, kuid seekordne fotoseeria ja rõõm tulemusest, tõestab vastupidist. Selline on meie aastalõpu muutumismäng ja mul jääb vaid üle küsida: kuidas sulle meeldib?
