Happiest of Happy bdays to the beautiful head mayorette in charge, Hayles. Man I love this woman (kinda sounded like man, I feel like a woman, apologies). I only wish that a thousand seas were not between us and I could take her out to some bang up restaurant (or kebabery) to celebrate. Sob sob sob. Long distance is a bitch ain’t it? But it was so great to see you in the States earlier this year. Happy birthday my possum! I hope Mexi spoils you! P.S Belated party in March??

I look – I like (or at least find interesting)

We might actually be up to number four right now but who can tell. Sorry for the lack of posts. Shit has been hectic and I’ve been so busy with work that I’m feeling rather uninspired outside of work, well uninspired to do anything other than drink and now I have an ear infection and a cold. Fucking hell! Partying fucks you in the A!

Black Cat Auditions from 1961

This is truly bizarre and I love it. I’m not a huge cat person but black cats are my fave! I had one as a kid that was besotted with me, her name was Madonna and she was a great little companion, I’ve had a soft spot for them ever since. Check this 1961 audition for black cats. Must have been for bewitched or some shit. Follow the link ‘cause there’s heaps of funny pics. Cat lady rant over. Read more

Okay looky likey is changing to mean 'shit I don't necessarily like but wanna talk about too' so I'm not limited to talking about clutch bags. The name stays though because I think it's cute.

I think I've mentioned Lucy Jay scarves before but she's still killing it with her new range so I'm mentioning it again. Xmas prez please.

Remember Encino Man? What a killer movie that was. Ahem, sorry just thinking of the 'nice melons' line. What the fuck am I going on about I hear you ask? Why I have melons on the brain at the moment. Actual melons that is, not tits (well not just tits). What brought this on? Why my terrific new, great of all time, amazing WATERMELON CLUTCH BAG!

Is this not the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? It's massive also. And made of raffia. What will I wear with it? I have no fucking idea but does it matter? I will be carrying a piece of WATERMELON with all my SHIT IN IT. Amazing, simple amazing. Let's look at some other watermelon shit ow shall we...

Hello Mayorettes! It's been a minute since I posted random iphone pics of my amazing life journey for your disinterest. I think it's about time. What's that? You don't give a shit and wonder why I don't ever post proper shit anymore. Why shut your pie-hole. This is content alright. Go buy a magazine if you're fucking bored. Ahem...

Have you heard of this invention called Instagram? It's like twitter but just photos of girls doing wanky self pics (exhibit A), dinners you weren't invited to, patterns on top of flat whites and fucking cats. Heaps of fucking cats. I kid I kid. I actually kinda like it (y'all could ease up on the pics of cats and baked fucking eggs or whatever goddamn cafe food you're eating though haha). Here I am looking like I have no waist in a very tumblresque outfit. Cmon those tights fucking rule. And to make me even more cliche, I got them on Asos. haha. Baaah baaaah I'm a sheep I know.

I was recently in Sydney. Don't hate me. It was for work. One of the nice things I got to do whilst there however was check out the showing for the new Kathryn Wilson range. For the uninitiated, Kathryn Wilson is a NZ shoe designer and her shoes are super cute! It also helped that the showing was in this amazing Japanese bar/restaurant and the food was delicious with my favourite gin offered up in droves. Mmmm hendricks But back to the shoes... my lovely friend Mieka came with, as did her friend....  I wanna say Sophie... I'm really bad with names. Oh and Snooki was there!!! Hold up, that's me...

Hola ladies, it's been a while between drinks but it's because I've been so damn busy with work! But it's been fun work at least, when my days are spent organising the design of custom adidas Originals nail foils, life ain't so bad! Check them out! This project has been my baby for some time now and it's about to be er... birthed.

For all of October if you go instore to one of adidas Originals' concept stores in Australia and spend $50 or over, you'll get a set of the exclusive nail foils AND if you do it on a Saturday (recommended) there will be a pro nail tech there to apply them for you. Woot! A normal mani is like 50 bucks so this is a deal and a half! The new Summer range of womens clothes and shoes is also super cute so it's worth popping down just to see the new Jeremy Scott stuff at least.

The promotion will be taking place in adidas Original's concept stores in Rundle Mall (SA), the QVB (NSW), Westfield Sydney City (NSW), Chadstone (VIC) or Cavill Ave (QLD). For more details visit the adidas Originals Facebook page www.facebook.com/adidasoriginals

When I’m an old bitch I’m totally going to have a reading club. Wait, it’s called a Book Club isn’t it? Whatevs. I’m gonna have one. And not Oprah’s top 10 shit either but like COOL shit, that’s themed. One such theme I have thought of is that everyone has to designate a book to read with their first name in the title. How great would that be? You’d totally get a random selection. And we’d have cheese and wine and weed and sit around my baller treehouse in Hawaii and discuss them while we get fucked up. Man, retirement is gonna RULE.

Anyway the point is as I’ve been on planes a heap of late I’ve been reading a bunch of shit. Mostly mags but some books and I thought I’d tell y’all about it because the world needs to read more damnit!

Alex & Me

This is what got me thinking about the name themes for my future book club. I will nominate this book (happy to read it again, probs will have forgotten what it was about in 30 years anyway). I think I may have mentioned Alex the parrot before on this blog but this is an amazing book by his teacher and researcher Dr Irene Pepperberg about her relationship with him, and all the things that came from her studies with him. Alex stands for Avian Language Experiment and the study was all about how animals can learn to communicate and learn new cognitive processes. Alex is basically the awesomest bird ever before his untimely death at 31 (they usually live into their 50s). He could add up sums, identify objects verbally and talk to his trainers. He was also hella cute and would say he was sorry if he dropped things and his last words were “Be good, I love you, I’ll see you tomorrow” to Irene. It’s a super interesting book and really easy and fun to read too. I also enjoyed the parts where she talks about the every day hassles of just trying to securing funding and getting shoved into tiny offices and labs. It’s kinda a relief to see the hassles that someone else has gone through to work on something so amazing. Very interesting to see that many of the language traits we think are so exclusive to humans are really not. We’re all just animals. Alex broke down heaps of boundaries. I actually cried on the plane when it talks of his death. Totally recommend this book to any animal lover or person interested in language.

5 Stars!
