Hello friends! If no-one objects, I was going to can Monday Music. Instead, maybe I can post music whenever. Thought that might be a crazy idea that just might work.
No objections?
But honestly, if you really, really need it. Lemmie know.

San Diego Blackout
Thursday afternoon, San Diego was hit by a massive blackout. 4 million people without power - up to 6 million at one stage, From some of Orange County, parts of Arizona, all the way down to Baha, Mexico. No phones, no internet, no traffic lights, no gas pumps, NO TV!
In true SoCal style, everyone sucked it up, eventually made their way home through grid-locked traffic (holy crap Californians are polite at intersections when the lights are out), then proceeded to get out there amongst it.
Sure, no-one knew what the f had happened, it was a little strange and we were uncertain about how long we'd be without power - the emergency radio station said maybe 3 days... neighbours made sure everyone was ok, people cranked BBQ's, bars with generators had parties and free booze. We ate our way through cheese, crackers and watermelon in an effort to save some food in our fridge from going bad.
We did freak out though, we had $12 cash between us since we couldn't access ATM's, Other than that, I kinda liked it, the atmosphere was great, we got tired when it got dark, no TV or laptop distractions. I was kinda bummed when the power eventually came back on.
Can't forget to nod to those that were sick, in hospital, had a fender bender or ran out of gas on the highway, not to mention the huge sewage spill, that sucks. But I wouldn't mind trying it out again sometime, just give us a heads up so we can fill the gas tank, get the BBQ out and round up the neighbours.
Masca-RAAAAA!
There are a couple of things that shit me about cosmetics advertising. 1. The 'face splash' of face wash ads (more on this later) and Mascara ads.
Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!
Just saw this over at the Photoshop disasters blog and god it makes me fume... Why the hell do Women's magazines insist on pushing "ultra-anna-thin" as aspirational... Rhi-Rhi obviously has one of the banging-est bods in the biz (how's the alliteration) I mean check out that bikini shot... I'd kill for that figure, wouldn't we all... And then Elle comes in and decides that she needs a waistline the same width as HER HEAD... She is NOT a lollipop people, STOP trying to make women hate themselves.
Sex Pot!
Um how hot is Miss Osbourne looking these days? Girl looks goooood!
I love how she has lost some weight but not to the point where she has lost her shapeliness, Kels still has awesome legs and booty, she just now also has a waist line... Also loving the bottle blonde!
Um and how good is this Betsey Johnson + Kelly Osbourne vid... God I love Betsey... she's too darn cool!
Pretty Betty
So I'm adding yet another lady to my fashion inspiration mood board (I don't really have one of those but if I did...) UGLY BETTY!!!!
I've never really watched that show but when I did the other day I realised how much I loved the way that the supposedly unfashionable character of Ugly Betty dresses... OK so I've read that they got super stylist Patricia Fields on board, so it's not THAT surprising she looks so good but I am such a fan of the clashing colours and prints, the sock and shoe combos and the crazy tights...
Breakfast at Tiffany’s: A Review
So while I was away, I read Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Holly Golightly is a flippant, money hungry, self centred little turd-bitch who needs a good shake.
I don't understand why people idolise her. Sure the above pic of Audrey is stunning but does anyone care that Holly is an asshole?
SWF
Not to be confused with the early 90s R&B girl group SWV, although it wouldn't be unheard of to make a post about them here on Mayorettes.
No, I'm talking about style biters. Copy cats. Single White Female shiz. You know the type. You meet a girl (or a guy), maybe they're a friend of a friend, a new work colleague, or someone from uni (hypothetically, of course). They seem nice enough but you do notice that their style is pretty nondescript, perhaps even daggy. Read more
Fuck you Marc Jacobs!
Seriously, this dude has been dead to me ever since he began his infatuation with Victoria Beckham. What is it with gay guys loving shit women *ahem KYLIE ahem*. Posh isn't even like so bad she's good ala Coco (ice t's wife, I love her) or Pammy. She's just plain rat shit. Remember when Posh and Beck's moved to LA and Tom Cruise and Katie-bot had a welcome to America party for them, EWWWWW it was so fucking revolting. And he put's THIS bitch on a tee. Ok it's for a charity or some shit but it doesn't excuse shit, he used her in campaigns and shit too. WTF. Posh is NOT COOL. She's NOT FUNNY. She's just plain shit house. She's like anti-inspirational when it comes to luxury goods too. Like when I see some hot bitch with a Chanel bag I cry a single tear that I'll never afford one, but whenever I see Posh in shit it kinda makes me okay that I'm a poor pleb, coz she's head to toe in designer goods and just ends up looking like a transvestite praying mantis who tries way too hard and her husband won't fuck her. She's not sensual or sexy or fuckable, which okay dressing up ain't about but it IS about making chicks think "damn, I wanna be her or be friends with her" and I don't think that when I see her. I just think...damn I can't believe anyone buys your fucking perfume. Okay, end of rant. I'm hormonal. My apologies.
The Lagerfeld Diet
Karl Largerfeld pictured here with Beth Ditto being a total fucking hypocrite.
'It's absurd, no one wants to see curvy women. You've got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying thin models are ugly'
The same man that brought us the wisdom:
A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul.
