KRISTIANSAND
We are rolling. We are on our way to our first participant in "Norges Herligste", hurra!
This is exciting. We have got a bunch of great people, who are a little funny, a little different.
Just the opposite of everyday man.
And don't forget that you can vote for "Norges Herligste".
That's right! But enough about that, here we go!
We are going.
Okay, are you ready? Yes.
We are going to visit; Arve Møllevik. He looks nice.
Yeah, Arve Møllevik is 43 years old, he lives here in Søgne outside of Kristiansand.
He works as a diving head for deep diving in the North Sea.
Exciting. He is known as... the Tights Man.
He is known for wearing skinny jeans all the time, and we are not speaking about regular ones, but a few sizes too small.
Of course. I had to told this was a man before ...
And he also likes them wet.
Shall we go visit him? Shall we pop by and say hi?
Yeah, since we are here.
Come on, all right.
Nothing about this picture says "skinny jeans" to me.
Hi! Is this Arve? Hi, I'm Vegard.
Good day. Hi, I'm Bård.
This is nice. Look at this.
You have everything under control right away?
TIGHTS MAN
Is it the comfort, or do you just like to look nice?
It's the taste.
I think it's... It's very...
Yes, it's very... Nice. Very tight.
We need to see your collection.
Come on in.
Thank you. This is...
Oh, look at this. That's an old Hammond organ.
It is? Do you play it?
I play the accordion. You do?
Yes. That's cool.
The mood is set for a party later then.
Are you the only one wearing skinny jeans or do the rest of the family too?
It's only me, yes. It's only you.
Mainly.
It's back to the old 80s.
Is that the motivation?
No, there's no motivation. It's just a style I have had for many years.
Yes, are you a little bit country...
No, I'm not a country man. You're not?
No, I have a little country music, but I'm not a country man. Many believe so.
It's not much of that, I play mostly disco.
Disco is tight. That's a little bit tight, yes.
Where do you buy them? I can't get them in Norway.
Norway is not a tight country. Germany.
You see these ones? These are the brand "Mustang".
These you'll find on German webpages for over NOK 1000, second hand.
I bought this one from a German girl. Oh, did you know her? ARVE HAS 50 PAIRS OF JEANS IN HIS CLOSET
You have to buy on the private market. You do?
Yes,Ebay. The German Ebay.
This is an old model, very popular in the 80s. Very few in Norway have heard of these. "Wallys".
It's extremely tight.
Doesn't it hurt your stuff, when you wear pants that tight?
No.
They fit well...
Mustang is in its own league.
Not to be too personal, but it's not difficult to see where your penis is, when you are wearing those.
You can't be shy?
No, you can't be shy. Hopefully I wear it with style.
I think you do. I'll give you that.
I don't know. But jeans like these are not in the skinny jeans category.
Or in English "skin tight jeans". This is "skin line". See the stretch here.
I follow the whole... It's supposed to be like that.
Anatomical... The tighter the better. It must sit tight.
Tight man's 1. Rule: "The tighter, the better."
But is there space for stuff in your pockets?
For example my phone. You can't... Try to put it in there.
You go for the back pockets right away. Look, he goes for the back pockets...
The front pocket. I hope I don't break it.
Oh, just break it. Look at that. You can't even see the profile of it.
Flexible pants.
Are the skinny jeans for every day use and other pants when you want to look nice?
Both, I won't say jeans look is nice. To me it's only cool.
Tight man's 2. Rule: "Learn to pose."
We're ready. Do like this too.
You are so stiff in your body.
There you go!
My brother!
Tight man's 3. Rule: "Show off."
It doesn't look that...
I think it looks nice. I think it looks nice too.
Come on.
What did you call it? To "sause"? Shall we go and "sause" a little?
Let's do. Yes.
What is "sausing" ?
To sause: Hang around without any purpose.
I've had a lot of that, and I've noticed through the years it has become sort of a fetish exhibitionism.
To give it a name.
Do you like to put water on... I saw some photos with a lot of water on the skinny jeans.
It's what we call "wet look" pictures. And what is that?
It's like a fascination. I've produced a lot of pictures for the internet.
So it's like art, or is it fetish... It is a fetishism originally.
But then it becomes a sport too.
Tight man's 4. Rule: "Wet looks great."
Do you have a T shirt for him?
Bård gets the job as a wet look model.
I want one with stretch.
The camera is ready in the bathroom. But he clearly is a normal guy who reads about GPS and industry.
A funny industry magazine and "Accordion News" is what he reads when is in the bathroom.
It's a skin line model. It must go into the pants.
Of course. It has to!
Are we ready?
Yes, we're ready. Let's go.
Nice style there.
Look at that.
I'm just waiting for one thing. Turn the water on.
The effect takes hold.
I never thought I would take photos of my brother in skinny jeans... with wet look.
But I found it quite fun.
And this is how the day goes.....
Exciting day.
Thank you so much for having us, Arve. It was great fun.
You are a very interesting person, I have to tell you.
It was great fun. We agree on that.
Good luck with the tights!
Good bye!
One tights man down...
... and the rest to go.
Very nice subject today, Vegard. I know!
An interesting and funny guy, a worthy candidate.
He will be high up on the ranking list.
