"Hej" says Maria Montazami

This western kind of a story has a way happier ending. After our Crown Princess and a dead author Maria Montazami is our most beloved Swede. She is not only a 6” tall blonde beauty, she is also sweetness herself - something her 140 000 Facebook fans in less than one year gladly will confirm.

Yesterday I helped my friend Tomas Engstöm out by being his assistant at a photo shoot promoting the 3rd season of the Scandinavian smash-hit TV-show Swedish Hollywood Wives. In front of a white garage door (to be cropped out…) she did her best to obey the demon photographer.

Mr. Engström sure isn’t easy to make satisfied. At the end of above lesson in how to pose and please, Maria turns to Tony and asks: How does it look?

But instead of being macho and impressing his Maria as the West Side Tony role model would have done, this Tony sprayed “GAY!!!” on his forehead by spontaneously burst out: Great! I love your hair…

Despite a series of incidents, for example including a Yves Saint-Laurent lip stick, an encounter with the County Sheriff accusing us for trespassing, and my unzipped fly we got along really well. And she filled me in on her secret trick on how to look that innocently cute on camera. It’s all about just one word…

… "Hej..."

“Maria, I’ve just met a girl named Maria…”
