ana, mia and maude

let's all go to mongstown.

WHY BLOG ABOUT IT? LMAO

I can hear the bells

That picture basically describes my life right now. LMAO

maybe it's just the warm weather, but i'm feeling all romantic. like a heroine in an old classic or a teenager in the 50s...like grease, where everything works out. i feel like running through a field of lavender in a christening gown and ringlets. well anyway. the mood swings have been getting worse, but it hasn't been bad. just going from different kinds of inspiration to others. one minute i'm stern and unforgiving and callous and i love the sense of security that comes from that...but then there's days like today, when i'm completely allowing myself to fall in love with him all oer again, as if it were possible that i ever fell out of it. But yes. I love this kind of life. When nothing bothers me so much that i lose the thoughts like this. They make me happy.

BUT YEAAHH. Have you seen leighton meester in the new louis vuitton collection? As much as i love me some leighton, NO ONE can pull off that outfit but Amanda Laine. *swoons*



I feel a bit sad now.

But hey, atleast i'm not blogging about eating disorders. ;D

HELLO

planning the most morbid event of my life.

i need to get out more.

oh ck

its been floating around in my mind for a while...but i still don't know what to think about christopher kane's new collection...i like the tweed and grungey shapes and velvet and art deco-ey stripes...i think it'll grow on me...maybe just not as fast as the SS 09 collection did.

oh well. we'll see. :)

sexiest thing alive

I've had one of the Trussardi Menswear AW09 ads on my ceiling for a while now...basically because the guy in them was amazingly gorgeous. I honestly don't know why I didn't go and find out who he was earlier...but I did last night. His name's Nils Butler and he makes my eyes have sex with eachother.

mah aryan prince

Wiktor Hansson. He's signed with Models 1. I'm in love with his whole look. Hair, eyes, CHEEEEEKBONES! OMG THEY COULD CUT DIAMONDS. lmao. well anyway, don't forget to whipe up the drool.

i feel loooooooooove

I didn't really like Abbey Lee before this ad. I thought she was a bit too short and gap toothed, but this is beautiful. And she is Frida Giannini's muse, so she must be amazing.

I think i've become a gucci slave. :)

may grey

it's raining. i'm bored. i think i'll just chuck in a post about things i like right now, eh?

this song's been making me runway into school for weeks. i love it. :)


I have a new model of the moment for you. Olga Sherer. She has cheekbones to collapse for.







i'm having a thing for ryan mcginley photography. they're like jeurgen teller...only nudier. which is always fab.







oh and lastly...high up fringes. :) i like them at the moment.

yum yum!

here's the chloe show i kinda half promised...IN FULL. :) enjoy.

so bloody and wild

"As I kissed her goodbye, I said, " All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth"


it's the kind of beauty you see in a different light every day, and it only ever gets more beautiful. every squint, every smile, every single movement it makes. They all grab me. It can't make a single step in the wrong direction, because it's the one that decides which way is wrong, in my opinion. It has slowly become the benchmark from which i measure others, which considering the sheer amount of measuring others I do, is quite an accomplishment. It's the reason I still get that feeling that something good could happen, that happiness isn't an unrealistic concept. It's also the reason that those hopes are dashed. It's a beauty that is simply out of my reach. Out of my league. Beyond my previously quite wide and formidable understanding. A wise man once said that a flower is always at it's most beautiful right before it dies. if that were true, it would seem that i won't be suffering for much longer.

weeing myself over Chloé

well, i've always been quite a Chloé fan, even last season's collection was fabulous. rushed and skimpy looking i suppose, but fabulous all the same.

but Hannah MacGibbon has outdone herself this time. There was bound to be that 70s glamour feel that her and Frida Giannini are fond of (wavy long hair, bohemian silhouettes), but this fall's collection was moving a bit more into the early 80s. I could see Molly Ringwald in the Breakfast club wearing pretty much all of it, besides the odd floaty dress (which i thought there was a rather heinous amount of by the way). There were oversized blanket coats, rolled up Chinos, the prettiest little tan boots, leather shorts, tassles and a lot of draped hips. Oh, and black velvet, which is always a good thing in my eyes. AND THE MAKEUP, it got me giddy too. Eyebrows and cheekbones everywhere. It was actually like one of those crazy pictures you see in hairdressers...you know, the really old ones where the girls have bad hair and their faces are made of like, airbrushed plastic. Anyway, I'm in school so I can't post videos (maybe later, if i'm in the mood), but here's three of my favourite looks. Enjoy!

fire your publicist

right seriously, its beyond funny now

I officially dislike Katy Perry.

She's used to the old controversy, clearly. After Ur So Gay and I Kissed a Girl, she ruffled pretty much every militant's feathers. The conservatives thought it was blasphemous, the militant gay community thought both songs were an offensive portrayal of GBLT life, and the others just liked to dance to it.

Then there came the knife photo. haha, this was when i first started to doubt she was the sharpest knife in the drawer (LMAO PUN). I know its just a knife, but with all that knife crime shit going around, she could've had a little bit of tact.



AND AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, she didnt apologize...but instead, spoofed herself with a picture of a spoon. wtf, that's not even funny.



well. back to the reason i made this post. she thinks it's trendy to have swine flu.

oh fuck off katy.

do do do dododo do

well. i'm in a fuckin good mood today.

this mood has been contributed to by the following things:
*Little Boots. Any girl who wears Alexander McQueen dresses AND makes music this good is a goddess in my opinion.









*Concerts. So. Last night i went to see Girls Aloud. FACKIN LAVLY! They're probably up there with Aqua in my biggest guilty pleasure bands...but they were amazing. seriously. I'm in love with Nicola.







What I'm not in love with however...was the days when Nicola refused to embrace her inner milk bottle. God save us all.



But anyway, they weren't even the biggest bombshell of the night. EMMA DEIGMAN (supporting act) WORE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN TOO. She wore those spiney grey leggings and the matching blazer and everything. Probably the closest I'll ever get to some good old McQ EVER.



ALSO. on the theme of concerts. I go to see ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on June 1st. I've liked them since the first album...and now they're on their....4th i think. The Crying Light. It's their best yet if you ask me...I mean, I Am A Bird Now did have You are My Sister and For Today I Am A Boy, but this album seems a lot less melancholy and scary. Anyway I'm in love with it. I've been listening to it all week to get it safely into my head for the BIG SHOOOOW. :D









So yeah. Peace out brother truckers. HAAAYYY

meghan collison

i think it's time for a new face of the month...maybe we'll change it to face of the week. My tastes change fast. ANYHOW. Meghan Collison! Shes like....bettie page meets thora birch meets wednesday addams meets nirvana meets forest nymph meets daria meets freja beha meets THE MOST FANTASTIC BOTTOM JAW EVER.

Witness the immense beauty.

jesus loves fags

"Gays die early because the practice abnormal sexual unions which result in the spread of disease. Gays die early because what they do is an abomination to God."

that inspiring quote came straight from the keyboard of the delightful fucking idiot who posted the piece of shit above on youtube. his name is "catholicmilitant", slightly oxymoronic i think, but whatever. This video is disgusting. Is it any wonder that more gays than straights are alcoholics and druggies? is it any wonder they commit suicide more? It's because of these religious fuckers driving gay people to believe that they are sinning, when they are not. these so called people of faith believe that it's their duty to the world to rid it of the GLBT community? fine, they're insane. But when the law lets these PSYCHOPATHS have kids, and bring them up to believe that opressing and hating gays is the right way to be, thats just fucking disgusting.

I can't write anymore. I'm too annoyed.

hmmm

its amazing how you can keep your chin up all day, and then one little thing breaks you to pieces. it wasnt even offensive i guess. just..i dont know. it aggravates me that people can say stuff like that and treat people that way and get away with it. i guess if anyone in authority knew, they wouldnt do anything about it anyway. too awkward for them. hey, they probably feel the same anyway.

so. feel a bit shit.

sorry, really shit.

worrallworrallworrall

OMG MY HOUSE IS TOO WARM AND I CANNOT DO THIS STUPID JOURNALISM REPORT. but that's not what this is about.
