| You'll never get to heaven if you're scared of getting high... |

Oh, liverjournal. My beloved but abandoned child. I haven't updated in SUCH A LONG TIME! I'm sorry. There has been transference of emotion from livejournal to iCiNG. Anyway, this is going to be a pretty monstrous entry... I hope you can cope!
I am really looking forward to summer. Maybe more than any summer ever before. I went for a walk to the post office today & on my way there, I passed the State Library. There were all these people lounging on the grass out the front, talking & laughing & patting dogs. It really enhanced my desire for an amazing season! It is getting SO HOT!
Here are some of my plans for the summer...
 Firstly, this is my fashion/style report for the season. Just so you know what I'll be wearing. These things are important, you know.
I want to go to the Ashcombe maze -- there is a hedge maze, a lavender labyrinth, a rose maze, water gardens, a GNOME HUNT, etc. I am so excited!
I also want to check out the Enchanted Maze. All I can think is what greeeeat locations they would make for photoshoots! Argh!
I'd like to experience the Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour...
Of course, the Rooftop & Moonlight cinemas are a must...
Go to at least one thing held by Streetparty...
Eat at Enlightened Cuisine & Fo Guang. Fake meat, YUM! Bring it ON!
Go to Girl Bar. (I am a major lesbian if you didn't know already. I won a free double pass the other night but didn't end up going.)
Play beach tennis! I have the dress already, I might as well use it for its intended purpose... ;D
See also, lots of: exercise, ice cream, laughter, kissing, photographs, adventures, cocktails, sexy shoes, postcards & creation.
"Lily, I can't be the opening act for a dog!"
"What can I say, Carrie?! The west coast sales rep totally fucked me on this!" Extra extra, read all about it...
I found my dreeeeam ring, I am so excited, it is white gold with cubic zirconia stones & it is perfect.
The other night I came home from the Supper Club & felt sick (cocktail + pâté + creme brulée) so I lay down in bed & Simon read to me from Teen Vogue about Agyness, Mary-Kate Olsen & Grey Gardens. Best way to go to sleep ever.
I have been buying lots of things off Ebay, it is very naughty.
My personal identity has expanded to include 'copywriter'. I wrote an advertisement for my friend & I have another client I am about to start working with. It is quite exciting, because I get to utilise my skills, help promote businesses I believe in & make instant cash! Very cool.
I love to read profiles of the ENFP type. It makes me really happy.
This is totally amazing & I don't know what else I can say.
I booked our Christmas holiday & we are going away on a secret jaunt! It is going to be SO GOOD & I am really excited about it. I can't wait to go.
Between now & the new year, we are going to have SEVEN VISITORS from New Zealand! In fact, five visitors from Wellington ALONE! Holy shitttttt. The phrase "silly season" never had so much meaning. This place is going to be like a fucking b&b! Except without the cooked breakfast, 'cause you know I don't do that shit.
I wore pearls around my ankles the other day. It is going to be my new "thing".
My current favourite Sex & The City episode is The Big Journey. It is amazing.
Oh, & if you really want some reading... (I write articles every day for your pleasure!)
O Magazine & Ellen Barkin -- Ellen Barkin wrote a bad article for O magazine. This is my take.
Dissecting Men's Style -- In which I tell you what makes these men's outfits work.
I Love New York! -- I do! This is a little celebratory piece.
Gift-Giving -- Ideas for giving presents. You should read this. It's almost Christmas, you know. (FEAR!)
How To Be Confident -- Exactly what it says, baby.
Summer Essentials 2007 -- In my opinion, anyway.
Sealed With A Kiss -- How to write a great letter. There's an art to it, you know. It's not all "Wish you were here" & "Yours sincerely", you know!
Winter Style 2007 -- What I would be wearing if I was in the Northern Hemisphere.
Dressing With The Essence Of Fairytales -- Ideas for bringing out your inner Cinderella.
Instant Glamour & Fashion Fixes -- Print this out & stick it somewhere useful. (Not in your bottom.)
Wherever You Go, There You Are -- Why is it that some people are miserable no matter where they go?
How To Be A Good Lover -- Not that I am perfect or anything, but here are some good ideas.
Living Together -- Yes, it can be tough. I made a list of some things to consider before you move in with your beloved.
Celebrity Outreach -- I have a big crush on Michael J. Fox.
Gala Darling Loves American Apparel! -- I do!
"Think of a creative genius think-tank where the likes of Lou Reed, Truman Capote, Edie Sedgwick and Bobby Driscoll played with art and amphetamines. This is what Warhol’s tin foil lined Silver Factory evolved into when he took down his silver clouds. Meccanoid will be recreating this madness by throwing an Art After Dark Silver Factory party at the NGV." I was going to go to this party but my partner-in-social-activities was unavailable & so... I dressed up like Edie Sedgwick & hung out in my apartment!
I love my Notes from the Universe.Actually, Gala, it's not that you want stuff that you don't have, but that you want stuff that you think you don't have. And the best way to change this is to begin thinking that you have it. ... The same goes for wanting to be the kind of person you think you aren't, Gala, living the kind of life you think you don't have, or having the kind of friends who don't think you're really, really "out there." I really dislike going for runs during the day, because quite frankly, people exercising look disgusting & I don't really appreciate anyone looking at me while I'm sweating up a storm. I used to go running at night in Auckland, & it was fine because it's really safe there. But the parks in Melbourne are scary. They are filled with homeless people & something far, far worse... possums. EWWW! You know, in New Zealand, they are pests. They get shot on sight. But here they roam free in big packs & they jump up & down trees & their big eyes glint at you & it gives me the crêpes. Anyway. Maybe I will go running really early in the morning. I don't know. I also bought a Camelpak to go around my waist. & then I tarted it up. SERIOUS BUSINESS!
In case anyone was tempted to try them, Tic Tacs in flavour "Tropical Acerola" (more like Tropical Areola, amirite?!) taste like you licked the nozzle on an old bottle of perfume from the Body Shop. Don't do it!
"Well, you better fuck him good, because I'm not going through this in another 6 months." One fine evening, Nadia & I blinged up some calculators & went to a party called N3RDC0RE...
 Nadia's calculator.  My calculator. "I love how your calculator is all neat & pretty & mine just looks like someone vomited sparkles all over it." -- Nadia.  We wore them around our necks.  Hard out.  The party had cool visuals. Also, a girl I went to school with was behind the bar... Small world, yo~!  Nadia is hot.
I started my makeup course. The teacher is beautiful & regal & tall with long dreadlocks, she reminds me of Lauryn Hill. Except she wears pink eyeshadow & three sets of false eyelashes. Gorgeous. Doki doki.
Also, Allan & I took purikura (プリクラ) photos! Glee! Purikura is one of my favourite things ever ever ever.
I went to the Kozyndan opening & I looked like this. It was very busy, those openings always are, I think I am going to stop attending because you can see the exact thing the day after & with about 1/20th of the people in attendance. Much more enticing.
The Kryolan store is my new favourite place. There is a drag queen working there & I have a big crush. (Squeeeeal!) It's a friendly crush, you know the type.
Simon went to London a couple of weeks ago & I am super-glad to have him back! He came bearing GIFTS (but of course I would like him a lot even if he didn't)! Three (3) satin turbans from Topshop (eeeeeeee! Black, silver, turquoise), That Extra Half An Inch by Victoria Beckham (eeeeeeeeeeeeee!) & a teeny tiny turquoise iPod nano. It is SEX!! Soooo much smaller than my old one. I have named it 'iCiNG Mix', hee. The old one was called 'picnic, darling?' but I have since moved on, you know?
Also, living with Simon is great. We eat cupcakes in bed & watch movies & it is basically like having a slumber party every night. He is the bestie.
I found a new hairdresser. She is amazing. We have plans to do strange things, like tie-dye my hair, & do tiger stripes, & extensions, & a big pink beehive hairpiece... She told my fortune while she cut my fringe. Here is what she did to my noggin:
 It is purple with blue ends.  It is SO AWESOME.
I bought a really fabulous dress on Ebay. I also bought really fabulous sunglasses on Ebay. Here they are in action!
  Demented Elton John protégé!
This weekend just past was iCiNG Day! The theme was "I ..." & so Nadia & I chose "I Japan"... viz!
That night we went to see Patrick Wolf play at the Corner Hotel. He is pretty much the best-looking person I have ever laid eyes on. He came out on stage & I thought, "Hmmm, he doesn't seem very happy". He played a couple of songs & then launched into Tristan, which is quite an energetic song, & went to climb up on the chair onstage & fell off. Then he shoved his keyboard to the ground, & instead of singing the normal lyrics ("My name is Tristan, & I am alive"), he shouted, "My name is Tristan, & I am fucking fed up with this shit". Then he went off stage! The band finished the song as an instrumental, then left the stage. We were all standing around going, "Uh, hmm!" Eventually he came back on, but had ripped off most of his costume & was wearing a hoodie with the hood pulled up over his head. I felt bad for him. He finished the show & his mood perked up as he went on, but he was obviously having a bad time of it & I was really :< for him. The price of fame, eh? It made me glad I am not a musician. All that touring, & playing shows when you're tired/jet-lagged/homesick/bored/grumpy, having to thrill a crowd & deal with hecklers. Blech! I still love him though, & he told us a cute story at the end of the show about riding his bike with a broken heart at 5am around these marshlands. Doki-doki.
Tomorrow I am going to attend the open casting for Australia's Next Top Model & interview some of the girls, it is going to be a hilarious ROMP! It will be a magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan bedazzlement! A sensual ravishment! It will be... spectacular, spectacular! No words in the vernacular can describe this great event. Returns are fixed at 10%. (You get the picture.)
Okay, that is all for now. I promise to try & update more often.
Kisses & lavender cupcakes,
P.S. Send help.
P.P.S. "i did not like the program it is disgusting. she is kissing everybody. it is the worst program on mtv." |
