Now Alexia Bohwim believes that the western edge is about to be destroyed by immigrants and the new rich.She herself could never imagine moving.Still a poser: Alexia Bohwim has caused a lot of noise over the years with controversial books such as Frognerfitter and MILF.She herself is most comfortable at home with her children and dogs.The pose holds even if she turns fifty next year!Alexia Bohwim (49) comes from a Right-wing home in the best west.Growing up is characterized by the fact that the father is the director of the Olsenbandenfilmene.Although Bohwim is best known as the author of the books Frognerfitter, Golddigger and MILF, she herself says that she is a film person.Now she has her own TV series on TV3 directed by Nina Grünfeld, which has become more popular than she expected.- You can expect to see an honest portrayal of a human being.No game, no nonsense.For the first time in Norwegian TV history, we have created an honest portrait, says Bohwim.Read also: Vaktbikkja resigns after 32 years in the city councilWe sit in her kitchen with a can of Pepsi Max each.The house is not the polished, spotless and impersonal home one would have expected to see so deeply into Frogner.The house is clearly a home, with floor-to-ceiling shelves of books.Only a stripper in the middle of the living room suggests that it may be Bohwim's residence;the lady who is known as a poser and provocateur.On Bohwim's fridge there are, among other things, posters from the animal rights organization NOAH and Venstre.(Jantra Hollum)Posters from NOAH - for animal rights and Venstre are hung on the fridge.- Haven't you seen the series?She takes out her laptop and starts searching.The painted nails click hard against the keyboard.She shows me the clip from the series where she cycles through Karl Johan and talks to the various parties during the election campaign last year.There is a close-up of a bin with the FrP logo before she meets Ola Elvestuen.- I came across the Liberal Party, a party that stands for the same thing for me and that also says that in order to help the animals, we can't jump around like the Greens with potted plants and talk badly about the other parties and simply create a bullying culture .Of course we will cooperate with Frp!We must meet the enemy in the middle, otherwise the animals will only suffer even more.In the clip, we see Bohwim as interested in the man Elvestuen as the politics he promotes.With romantic music in the background and hearts in their eyes.Afterwards, she puts the screen down and laughs:- Nina has created a real soap series.TV3 has stretched the rope far, she says and adds: - Some may think that it is violent, but I myself think that I live a straight life.I think I'm normal, men think I'm funny and ladies think I'm crazy.Read also: Raspberry Queen in Lalla-landAnimal rights are Bohwim's biggest concern.Bohwim has been a vegetarian since she was thirteen.She came home one day and said she would never eat meat again.Her parents were surprisingly happy.She was brought up to believe that if she teased the dog and got bitten, it was her fault.Three years ago she became a vegan and the philosopher Peter Singer is the great role model.- Peter Singer saved my life.I realized that I have a short time on earth and that it is my duty to make the world better.The plan is to get vegan fast-food at Frogner together with his sister, who owns Norway's oldest vegan catering company.- It is not possible to get any vegan food here at Frogner!In order to get vegan food out today, they spend half an hour cutting up a ciabatta and avocado, putting on millet crap and Spirulina.This should taste like real junk food!Alexia's father, Knut Bohwim, is known for having directed most of the films about the Olsen gang.In addition to sjappa, she has plans to publish podcasts and she hopes to publish her fourth book: Bygdøyballer.Bohwim has a clear intention with his books.- By writing Frognerfitter and Bygdøyballer, I will be a time witness to my generation and Frogner when I grew up.I want to leave a legacy.Oslo is a struggle for me.Oslo is the most important place in my life, and Frogner obviously.This is where I have my roots.If I'm going down to Carl Berner's place and such, I have no idea where it is.- You are on the western edge a lot?Don't like the east end?- What I can say is that the east is just as snobbish, expensive and disgusting as the west end.The hipsters there are much worse than the snobs here, because they think they have acquired it and that they have chosen the right place in Oslo.Oh Løkka like that.They're just ridiculous, she says and quickly adds: - I don't want to be on the eastern edge, because I think it's noisy there, ugly and I don't like it.But I in no way hate the east end, but I find it incredibly sad that they hate the west end.I love Oslo, because I can talk to everyone.I love foreigners, junkies, old ladies - it's a social quiz and challenge.Bygdøyballer is about growing up in Oslo in the 70s, 80s and 90s.About the Labor Party and the Conservative Party that dominated Norwegian politics.Either your parents were red or blue.Either you were soss or friker.Then came the punks.And the Pakistanis.The West End girls who had to secure rich men and perfect facades.The main character thinks it's sad and harry.She thinks cultural snobbery is ridiculous.- Why is Bygdøy so important to you?- Some of the most powerful people we have are from there.That's where I found my people.My father sent me to Ruseløkka to go to school, I had no friends there.The people at Vika thought I was rich since my dad was a director, and didn't want to be with me.It was reverse snobbery.But in the sixth grade I met Bygdøyfolka and found my home.Alexia Bohwim has lived in Frogner all her life, and has seen the district change over several decades at close range.- Has Frogner changed since you grew up?Bohwim wrinkles his nose and almost spits out:- Oh shit.It is absolutely disgusting!There are so many immigrants and the new rich who are ruining the place.They don't understand that being from Frogner and Oslo means that you are educated and used to all possible walks of life, she says and then she lowers her voice in despair:- They seriously have Filipino au pairs.And you didn't have au pairs at Frogner before, did you?She waves her hand dismissively.- We had Danish maids, but it was something completely different.They earned better than the housewives, fired beans and went to parties.The picture she paints of Frogner from growing up seems very distant from today's Bølgen and Moi-Frogner.Ladies who screamed, the crazy lady with the bag, outcasts, and brats.Alcoholic war veterans on Bygdøy.Aftermath after the war.- There was a lot of bad, sad stuff.Much more street environment.Everyone accepted each other.There was no bullying.But there was a lot more drugs, heavy drugs, heroin and the like, in the schools.Now it has been replaced with cocaine, she says, rolling her eyes.Then she adds with force in her voice: - We were much tougher, we endured much more.Those who grow up at Frogner now have pillows sewn under their arms.Follow Dagsavisen Oslo on Facebook!She describes today's Frogner as a place where parents are not with their children;they are at a party and leave those with maids and au pairs.- They don't follow them up at all and when they do, they post a lot of facade pictures.Facebook and Instagram are the worst thing that has happened to the west end.It is embarrassing not to be able to afford holidays abroad and it has become a pressure to have the best possible life.There, I think my generation, and especially my gender, is destroying the next generation's girls.The west coast is about to be massively destroyed.A lot of private scams and services that no one can afford to use, which are only an agency for some wives who are bored and want to sell ugly wife's dresses, she says and adds with a satisfied smile:- So when I come with my vegan jappa like a rotten tooth in their white grin, I'll promise you that.- You have said a lot of negative things about Frogner.Have you ever considered moving?- The day I can't walk in Frognerparken, all the basics disappear.That the press and bloggers have ruined the place with nouveau riche people without education means that someone has to be left to teach them education.Not relevant for me to move unless I bring the Monolith with me.Follow Dagsavisen on Facebook and Twitter!
