Swedish Mansion: Scandinavian supermodels take over LA
It's not so hard to come up with a list of Swedish stereotypes. Everybody seems to have one; all Swedes eats meatballs, everyone loves ABBA and all the women are blond and gorgeous. I think I could beg to differ on all accounts, but the media is certainly planning on cashing in on the last one with the new reality series Swedish Mansion. The reality show kicks off March 1, 2008 with none other than six Swedish models (and one Norwegian) all living in a house in Los Angeles. Nobody explains the situation better than Glamour of Sweden's website: "What happens if a group of Swedish top models lives under the same roof in a mansion in Los Angeles?" To find out you will either have to watch the first phase which will broadcast online, or wait for the reality series to hit television.
Somehow I am pretty sure that this isn't going to be a show revolving around learning the ins and outs of Scandinavian culture. But at least it will fulfill your dreams of Swedish stereotypes -- if you can get past the fact that one of the models is a brunette.

It may make for a really interesting show and bring in the culture and lifestyle if they filmed segments of the show in Sweden.

If they filmed the show in Sweden and used real Swedes, you WOULD want to visit and maybe even remain in Sweden! It's a breathtaking country, incredibly clean, even on the mass-transit trains which can get you to within reasonable walking distance of almost anywhere, and it's filled with warm, friendly people, many of whom speak English (unlike the U.S.) and are actively warm to foreign visitors. I've been pondering returning for good for 10 years since I visited, and one day I may make good on it. It's certainly a more pleasant place to live than the U.S. is becoming.

The most talented and the most Beautiful Swedish blond ever was and still is, AGNETHA FALTSKOG. She is a great example of the phrase A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER. What a talent.

I will be visiting Stockholm in April for a month. But I think I'll keep my eye out more for a nice Sven, rather than the bikini clad models :)
