Encouragement

Envy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self worth.

Each of us has something to give that no one else has.

When I was younger I was a super huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sarah Michelle Gellar rocked that role and I remember my brother and I watching the show weekly. We also were ueber sad when it finally came to an end and I continued on by watching the Angle off-spin with David Boreanaz (swoon!).

So one thing that fascinated me whilst I was flicking through my tv set millions of years ago was when this ancient (1988 is ancient to me, I was born two years earlier) movie with Kim Basinger came on and it had none other than a mini Alyson Hannigan and her buddy Seth Green in it. Here’s a photo of them then and now. I find it cute when you see actors working together as kids and then later as adults, kind of like watching them grow up on screen.

And yup still a fan of both Seth (he does the voice of Chris in Family Guy - LOVE) and Alyson (How I met your Mother). Enjoy!

As heard on TV

  • Lady: "What are you guys talking about?"
  • Others: "Sex"
  • Lady: "Personally, I prefer food. You don't have to wait an hour for seconds."
I found this on Google Images somewhere and love it.

Andrej Pejic, androgynous male model. Super hot somehow and totally high fashion.
Besides Lea T, the other famous male/female type of model that’s made a name for themselves in the fashion industry, we have Andrej.
I find it spectacular how female he looks in some of the editorials he’s been in. This is also part of the reason why I love fashion/fashion photography. You can make anybody out there beautiful and sexy with a hint of make-up and a good angle, creating a telling story line along the way and feeding the imagination.

Good date or Bad date?

Ok I love it when you can come home from a night out with a smirk on your face.

a) you know you’ve made a good impression on someone

b) it helps when you listen to an awesome Blink182 song that re-affirms how you are feeling

c) you know you will definitely see that person again because you haven’t made a fool of yourself

d) you’ve been honest/upfront with that person and haven’t scared them by being ‘weird’

e) give yourself a pat on the back for being well-behaved

f) and you’ve kissed them. :)

Stevie Nicks, sometime in the 80s.
Ever listened to “Bette Davies Eyes” and wanted to listen to it on repeat? Nicks was part of the iconic 80s band Fleetwood Mac. Her voice is so endearing, infective somehow. I’ve been going through an 80s catch up phase lately, listening to a bunch of cool songs from that time, makes me wish I was born around that time so I could have grown up with songs like that.
*Ok my bad, as mentioned by a reader the original is from Kim Carnes. Still great though :)

I went for a fashionably awesome pret-a-portea at the Berkeley Hotel London today. My friend and I had to book it 3 months in advance because its constantly booked out. It was so worth it.
For about $50 dollars we got continuous plates of sandwiches, cakes and biscuits and they kept filling out tea pots up with delicious variants of leaf mixes. I can definitely say one thing, go there! The designs of the cakes were in the form of Victoria Beckham handbags and a cookie in the shape of a Miu Miu Bikini so adorable.

This be the verse

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

-Philip Larkin

I've loved this poem since I heard it in an English class in high school.
Primarily because it was the only time when we were allowed to
say 'fuck' in the classroom without being sent outside.
Whenever I go back to this poem though and read it over,
it dawns on my how relevant and true it is.
It's also short and sweet, easy to remember and has the ability to
act as a great conversation starter.
