Meet This Sexy Alien Goddess From Sweden Who's Taking Over New York City
Estimated Time of Arrival — Issue #8 E.T.A.H is back as we sippin' tequila OJ's from wine glasses.
Ladies, aliens and gents,
Welcome to another issue of your favourite Wednesday newsletter.
Estimated Time of Arrival 👽
We* took a break to lick our wounds and heal our hearts during what’s come to be known as the summer of breakups, also because we are Spaniards and Spaniards don’t do shit in August as my lawyer can tell you.
In any case, we’re chuffed to be back, we’re buzzing, we’re stronger than ever and to prove it we’re releasing the first podcast episode version of this newsletter! 🎉
»You’ll hear all about it HERE«
Our next guest is an alien Queen from Sweden, a lion goddess, a total badass. She lives in a fluffy castle above the clouds in Downtown Brooklyn, her spirit animal is sometimes a monkey but always a lion.
We bonded over the hardships of dating immature (let’s not use the word toxic, oops I did it again!) hamster boys and she’s become one of my closest friends in New York.
With over 114k monthly listeners on Spoty it’s no wonder the IG algorithm keeps nudging me to use her track ‘make a movie’ (I absolutely will make a movie FYI) for a reel… More soon.
I’m delighted to introduce the not-a-virgin and total legend Virgin Miri, artist, singer and friend as my next guest at Estimated Time of Arrival.
The interview went something like this.
*We is me and Professor Snoop.
Listen to her latest release h4msterb0y with Korean superstars Lil Cherry & Miso whilst you read the interview HERE
What bugs you about the world around you but feel we're not allowed to talk about?
How much time we're spending on our phones and how it's gonna affect our brains because I think this is gonna be in the future similar to what smoking was in the 80s.
I think it fucks with your brain and it's probably making us stupid.
What’s your biggest extravagance?
Rent in New York.
(Must be said, her pad is really nice: big windows with views of the city that take your breath away, open plan kitchen/living room tastefully decorated with a fluffy rug Snoop adored, a big pouffe, big speakers, an incredibly inviting sofa…).
“Open relationships”. What’s your experience with it? Thoughts on it? Or what have you observed in your circles?
I always thought that that was gonna be my thing because it's like the ultimate unconditional love, right?
But it hasn't happened that way yet. But I do have a lot of people in my circles who are in open relationships. Some of them work really really well, and some of them have ended because they didn't work out (amen), I think it's a beautiful thing if it works but you just gotta have very clear rules and be on the same page.
Communication, man!
The best (or most useful) thing anyone has ever said to you...
Wow, um can I say two things?
Sure.
Because one is kind of basic, but I used to have this kind of mentor who was always saying, (insert Swedish words my AI couldn’t transcribe 😂 ) and it just means life is now. Like you gotta be present, this is it.
But I also randomly came across this video of an author summarizing his own book called the Subtle art of not giving a fuck. I was in a very painful physical and emotional state at that moment. And he was saying something that stuck with me.
Every acceptance of a negative experience is in itself a positive one and pursuing a positive experience only reinforces that you lack it in the first place.
Tell me something curious about you that you haven’t thought about for ages or you don’t usually tell people.
Look, I tell everyone everything about myself. Maybe it's an overshare.
There are only three things about me that make me unique and it's that I am an IUD child. My mom had an IUD when she got pregnant with me. I weighed exactly 3,000 grams when I came out. And both of my parents have blue eyes and I have brown.
What purchase of $100 or less has most positively impacted your life in the last six months (or in recent memory)?
I just got a perfume. Actually, it's a little more than a hundred dollars. A hundred and thirty.
Okay, we'll take it for good.
I haven't owned a perfume ever.
Ever?
Ever. It completely changed my personality.
Has it?
Yeah, can't you tell? I'm like, I'm so elegant drinking tequila out of a wine glass.
Amen!
What’s the worst (or stupidest) thing you’ve ever done? (We get it, you didn’t know any better, now spill the beans!)
When I was younger I did a bunch of piercings in weird places and stuff. We used to do them ourselves…
I put in this thing (a belly button piercing) about a year ago. I've had this since I was 14 but it kind of grew and then I was like I need to have it again right now so I just pushed through, it took me like 10 minutes and then it got so infected when I was at a video shoot and I had like really long nails and I was going to the bathroom and I was wearing this thing and then it fell into the toilet and there was shit…
An ingredient that makes everything better…
Chilli, salt, garlic.
Just one!
Okay, salt, I would eat a brick if it had salt on it.
Describe the world today in 5 words or less.
Hot. Burning. Sexy. Cunt-serving.
What’s the last film or series that moved you? And why? (It doesn’t have to be your favourite, just that made you feel something and what)
I just watched Highjack, it’s ridiculously suspenseful.
I mean, it moved me in the way that I'm not going to remember it in the future. But like in the moment, it was so suspenseful. It was giving me pleasure
What are you working on right now? What do you have coming up? Where can people check out your work?
Have a remix coming out on Friday with two badass Korean girlies.
And then I have another song coming out in two weeks called Stupid little party girl
And then after that, I have another song coming. I have a lot of stuff coming.
My website and Instagram are Virgin Miri.
(This is her Youtube, her videos are dope dope, make sure to check them out!)
What artist/s do you love & wish them even more success in their field?
Sofia AKA MyLifeAsAMoth (who introduced us and you’ll meet soon, yay!)
This Swidish artist COBRAH
LAYLA , she makes dance music and signs in German.
