A plea from Suri Cruise



Oh my god. Help. Seriously. This isn't even funny anymore. This guy is crazy. As in actual, fear for my life crazy. I'm pretty sure he waxes his chest. I thought my mum would fix everything but she seems to have lost hope.



This is bad. Like, really bad. At this rate I'll be shipped off to space and crowned Princess Xenu of the Galactic Confederacy.


God, I'm SO depressed.

Not so spicy

Oh, Victoria Beckham.
I defend you all the time when people ridicule you in conversation. You are full of spice and you are magnificent, ridiculous and fierce. You have screwed up your feet because you insist on always wearing skyhigh heels and you are married to David Fecking Beckham. But your dresses were boring. And I know it's your signature structured tailored blah blah elegant, but it was so dull. Seriously, who do you think you are? No one will wannabe your lover in these dresses. This will not spice up anyone's life (I'm all out of Spice Girls references).
Disappointing, Vicky.

Ugh. Sigh...

I guess this one is alright...if you were the First Lady.

What would Ginger Spice say?

Poets and their poetry

Mayhem! Drunken louts! Hecklers!
That pretty much sums up poetry slam Bad!Slam!No!Biscuit!, held at the Phoenix Bar on Tuesday the 16th. Before we entered this den of words and depravity the only slams we'd been too were of a kinder, more sedate variety, so it was with shock, amusement and a little bit of awe that we watched poets brave the stage, only to be heckled by the unruly mob of poetry lovers and haters. In between poets we were entertained by a Spanish guitarist, a girl who walked over glass (plus other circus stunts) and the incoherent ramblings of that drunken guy in the corner that no one really likes. Canberra is such a cool hub of creativity and it's events like this that showcase it. Bad!Slam!No!Biscuit! takes place of the third Tuesday of every month and you should definitely check the next one out. I promise you'll be raving about the fun you had for the next few days. And I'm pretty sure there was free Kransky for first time poets. If that doesn't entice you, I'm not sure what will.

I took pictures but can't find my camera cord....and I think this is better.

I'm a trashy bitch...

There, I said it.
When I get home from a long day's being cute and quirky, remove my turban and carefully battered vintage shoes and put down Nietzsche's 'Untimely Meditations', I switch on MTV/VH1/E! for a healthy dose of skanks competing for love, celebreality goss and other trashtastic fun.
It was with great excitement, then, that I got ready to post about the cosmic alignment of Bebe and the Kardashian sisters. (I know, right?!!) I was going to rely on the show for tacky hilarity - thus creating less work for myself. "Very subtle" I would write under a picture of a bedazzled gynaecologist's appointment of a dress. "Hee hee, how droll" you would say, and talk about me with all your friends.
You can imagine my disappointment when the combined trash of Bebe and the good ship Kardashian gave birth to a collection destined for a Kmart bargain bin.
I know honey, that's how I felt too....


We had blah jersey dresses, last season's leather shorts and all manner of overused, overrated one-shoulder things.
This girl looks embarrassed to be here... plus her arm just looks cold and kind of left out.

You poor thing, you're lost? Local Liquor's back that way and to the left I think.

Oh thank christ for you! Why didn't you get here sooner, JWoWW? (correct me if my capitalisation's incorrect). But you wore your best Ed Hardy and polished up your lurex tights, you fabulous mess - let's go watch Rock of Love and drink goon.

Weekend Jam!

Vampire Weekend-Cousins

Because we live in Canberra. Which is where they'll be on the 9th of May. Yeah, that's right. Don't hate

Layered

One of my favourite shows from New York Fashion Week was all about layers. Although I love hobo chic (looking at you Mary-Kate), this collection managed to get a bit layer-crazy while achieving that hard-to-get balance between sophisticated and travelling gypsy.

In their first solo woman’s show since debuting in 2005 Rag + Bone presented what Vogue UK called a ‘layered, layered, layered’ look. They gave us all the winter staples: jackets, scarfs and thick socks while still remaining fresh and young. It was, in their own words what you would see on 'Crazy English guys who climbed Mount Everest in the twenties in tweed.' Monochromatic greys, tough girl biker boots, woolly, knee-length socks and three jackets at once? Yes, please.





After squealing with glee at the loveliness of this show I really wish Canberra would make up its mind and be cold. And then I too can be a sophisticated, travelling gypsy woman.

Well kids... yeah, our G&Ts are ready now, so we can do this another time, right?
