Meet Ysla Larsen ... An Urban® Vita "Au Courant" Doll

Ysla Larsen, Oslo, Norway 

Hello.  Hallo.  Jeg heter Ysla Larsen.  Ett språk er aldri nok.

  My name is Ysla Larsen and  I live now in Oslo, Norway and do my work for a very specialized branch of the government.  This job isn't classified, so I can talk about it, but it is to some degree 'secret' as it is better if our faces are not widely known.  Our branch of the intelligence community is commonly known as "the Protectors" because that is a very accurate description of what my job entails.  I protect my client against any unpleasantness or agression during their stay here.  If a 'visible target' is on a visit to Norway, someone who might be in danger due to their position in the world, they are assigned a 'protector' while they are here.  In America, I guess you would call us 'bodyguards' or maybe 'secret service'.  So.  That is what I do for my living. I am very proud of my job, and it is an honor to be chosen.  I study many forms of defense to be prepared to protect my client against any agressive attentions. In Norway, there is even a TV show called "The Protectors" and this called much attention and even admiration down on those of us who are doing this job for real.

In my life away from my work, my favorite hobby is to knit.  It gives me a wonderful way to relax.  I am a fan of all the fabric arts and also do quilting and embroidery and applique.  My love is to combine all these skills into decorative pieces of art.  So that is very different from Kung Fu and shooting, isn't it?  Along with my art work, I enjoy sewing for myself and sometimes even try designing my own clothing. 

So this is a bit about me.  I hope to see you again soon.
