thanks for taking the time to do that duvaa!
PART 2:
My second meet with Louise takes place in just Aarhus a winter-day a couple of days past New Years 2008. There's snow in the streets, the wind is freezing and the windows in the old cafés are dewing. I take a cap from the station. Louise P. is a millionaire so she has taken a cap the 70 km from Djursland. She says it a little shameful, cause she is indeed from Jutland (I think they mean, that people from Jutland wouldn't normally spend that amount of money on a cap ride). She's standing by the bar when I come in, and by the way the waiter keeps ensuring us that he will have a available table soon, I decide that either he has recognized her and he just likes to keep the celebrity costumers, otherwise he's just reacting with the special willingness most straight men shows when they see a ethereal beautiful girl standing by a bar.
And she is beautiful, Louise. She's older. Five years is a lot, when it's the five between 22 and 27. But mostly time shows in the look, that's resolved and experienced in another way than last. It's calm.
Things have in many ways gone as she imagined - and then again. Cause she may both have a kid and a house, and she can buy just as many Icelandic horses as she likes. But the house is in west of London and the husband is an artistic photographer, and there's not so much "normal" about Louise's life.
It's eight months since she became a mother for little Maya. Congratulations, I say, did it go smooth? No, you can't exactly say that, Louise responds, and explain that she gave birth to early and almost died of a dramatic pregnancy poisoning. And that she felt fixed and lonely the first month of her motherhood.
"I've travelled constantly for the last 5 years, so I've never really had the time to develop any close friendships in London."
Louise looks up and ask about my kids. Their ages, names and so on. Then she shrug her shoulders:
"It's a chock getting a child. It's the most overwhelming thing in life, and you cross so many boundaries. Even though I see my relationship to my husband as very good and strong, it gets tested too, and you get to say the meanest things to each other, when you're ruined because of tiredness. But I am at the same time so proud that I've found a good husband, who can also be a good father for our children."
Louise's husband is the 40 year old artistic photographer Arthur Meehan, and Louise is a big fan of his patience and calmness.
"I'm very glad that he wasn't as young as me when we had Maya. He was very resolved and had a big safety, so every time I panicked, he could remained calm. I've no idea what I would've done if he had been the type who thought that the thing with the kid I had to take care of, cause now he had to work .."
Today the family is based in the cozy part of London, Brook Green, but they've kept the apartment in Hell's Kitschen in New York - and then they've bought a vacation house on Djursland, where Louise can be close to her family and her old friends.
"I think, we've gotten a good life. I won't exclude that we're moving to Denmark at one point, but I feel well in London. I love the areas around Nothing Hill and Holland Park," she says. She doesn't go out much, but "I get my shot of party when Lykke May is in town," as she says. Otherwise she's painting - and is very inspired by the artist Jenny Saville. And then she still plays a bit of guitar, and "when I'm together with my good norwegian friend, and we get a couple of drinks, we always start talking that we need to form a duo."
Before we separate in Aarhus we talk about the impossible. That she's soon going back to the spotlight. She's exited, but also a bit nervous. Cause it's tough having a kid, when you've made your living of being a supermodel since you were 20.
"I thought that I was above it, but my identity is of course builded up around all the attention I've been used to with my appearance. When I was pregnant I felt very bad about my appearance. My face disappeared, and I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror. My self picture was ruined."
Six months after the birth Louise was booked for a major american lingerie job and went on a diet, where she was only allowed to eat 1400 kcal a day, even though she was still breast feeding. Meanwhile she had to work out four times a weak, and she was multiple times close to fainting of exhaustion.
When we meet at the shooting for the editorial in this issue of COVER another half year has gone by. Louise is back and running and in shape again. She's laughing and telling about a job she just finished in New York. She's still half a tomboy, half rock'n'roll in her short leather jacket, jeans and an illuminating pair of red and orange trainers from Nike.
The demand of Louise when she went on maternity leave was huge, but client are already in line again. Cause Louise has got a look, that can both be used for edgy editorials and commercial campaigns for makeup and perfumes. Actually she's selling so well that she after her maternity leave is on the list of the 20 girls in the business who makes most money.
What could've been a day fly became one of our times biggest model careers (I think they mean in Danish perspective). In Danish scale Louise has shot more A-list campaign the last four years than for example Helena Christensen has done through her career. But she's taking it from the top to the bottom. As she tells about one of the clients that approached her right after out meeting in Aarhus:
"I haven't lost quite enough weight yet. I did at first, when I started smoking again - you mustn't right that! But luckily they didn't care. And I actually was too."
There you have it. Hope you liked it. I actually liked the last part the most, but all in all I found the interview a bit boring, and the interviewer/writer crap, but well, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing her on the runway again.
