For the first time in 29 years I am proud of my milky (well maybe chocolate milk if you take into account the freckles) skin...This is beyond tanning. Put a side of apple sauce alongside Valentino and you have Christmas lunch...

Separated at Birth?
Is it just me or is Sandra Bullock starting to slowly morph into Brooke Shields? Maybe it's the 'icky brown hair'...All brunettes tend to look the same after a while me thinks (tongue firmly in cheek so don't lose your bundle) I do like Sandra..who could forget her in 2 weeks notice going No. 2 in the camper van...gold. Unfortunately I will never be able to forgive her for The Net...seriously that shit was boring and to date has been the only movie that I have fallen asleep watching....
Nic Embraces Old Roots
It has been a while but finally Nic appears to have gone back to her natural hair colour. Embrace your ranga roots GF....The blonde was looking tres tired!

Uncontrollable Laughing
My sister and I have a history of uncontrollable laughing at often inappropriate times (like really inappropriate times) and often at things that are really not that funny. This past weekend, we had another bout of laughter only this time we were laughing at all the things that we have inappropriately laughed at. Recounting these stories we both were doubled over, pains in stomach, unable to speak and with tears rolling down our face.
We are now at the point where we can identify when the other is about to start laughing hysterically by the words “oh no…it’s coming” at which point we avoid eye contact and try to separate. Unfortunately, this is not always possible e.g. when we are sitting on a bus or at a restaurant.
The worst incident by far was at our Grandmothers funeral. Before I go any further I would like to point out that we do feel really bad about this incident. We loved our Nan very much and were very close to her. Marina and I have spoken about this over the years and have agreed that Nan would have understood and laughed along with us (By the way, we haven’t just decided that because of the guilt rotting away our insides).
So we were at the funeral. The part where the coffin is being lowered into the ground. As it was a rainy day, all of the immediate family were under a marquee. Each family member took a turn to walk around the coffin whilst delicately scattering flowers as we walked around and back to the marquee. So it got to my sister’s turn. For those of you that don’t know Marina she is very tall. Even in her early teenage years when this incident happened, she was about 5ft10. On her way around the coffin and back to the marquee she looked distraught and incredibly upset (as we all were) and then as she stepped up to the marquee she hit her head. Not just brushed her head against the marquee – it was a full on whack. Her head went backwards and her nose kind of got caught up in the marquee as it was happening. It was like a decapitation by marquee moment. She recovered, looked at me and then it was on. Even though it was our grandmother’s funeral we couldn't stop laughing. Mum shot us a look like she was also going to bury us that day as well if we didn't stop this inappropriate outburst. Thank god we were laughing that much that no noise came out (I am sure that you have also laughed that hard you know what I am talking about – maybe just not at a family members funeral). We huddled together in an embrace that looked to everyone else (bar our mother) like we were hysterically crying having lost our beloved Nan.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Nan (In case you didn't get the prayers I have been sending your way) and the following people that Marina and I have come across over the years that we have uncontrollably laughed at (sadly this list is not exhaustive but I don’t want you all to think that we are completely insane and insensitive human beings):
The bus driver - Attempting to board a bus with a large suitcase I got stuck between the railings positioned at the bus door before paying the driver. Wedged between the railing and with this bag we both started to laugh so uncontrollably that I couldn't move. I had lost all strength. I think I was stuck there for about 2 minutes before I was even able to attempt to fully board the bus.
The guy at Bondi Junction Westfield wearing the light denim cut offs, a striped ¾ tight top, a sailor hat and white shoes with the half wedgie. We are sorry for laughing in your face. We are sorry to the people that passed us for 10 mins after that thought we were mental.
The old man that couldn't get his balance on the bus to Paddington. So inappropriate….yet so couldn't stop.
The woman that repeatedly sneezed in Kam Fook Chinese restaurant.
The guy from Wilson’s Pizza that answered the phone to take my order whom I laughed uncontrollably in his ear when he kept mishearing our address (made worse by the fact that Marina was spelling the address out with her legs in the air whilst sitting on the lounge next to me)
The guy on the train eating the yoghurt and making the scraping noise on the container.

I Heart Hart
Congratulations Jessica Hart for being only the second Australian model to be signed to Victoria's Secret lingerie label.
Check out photo of Jessica workin it. Inspiration for this pose came from and I quote "This really cool chick I know Brooke, who pulled a similar move to this a couple of weeks ago when we were out clubbing. Obviously she is more flexible than I am and looked heaps better doing it but I thought I would give it a go...I really look up to her"

Suddenly my Stella McCartney drink bottle is looking SOO 8 months ago!
I am going to get a little serious for a moment [gasp] – don’t worry it will only be momentary. Did you know that in Australia:
- Over 65% of plastic water bottles end up in landfill
- Popularity of bottled water is rising at a rate of at least 10% per year
- Transporting bottled water long distances involves burning massive quantities of fossil fuels
- For those bottles that make it to parks and waterfronts they are a hazard for our wildlife
- Refilling your plastic water bottle reduces the quality of the water you put into it!
The solution: KOR ONE refillable ‘water vessel’ (drink bottle is sooo yesterday apparently). Features include a small disc shaped token with a message that only you can see when drinking, enviro friendly and wide mouth for strong flow, adding ice cubes and easy cleaning! Luvs it!

Yes Please!
On my wish list is this gorgeous Chanel Strass cocktail ring....now if I just had a spare $410 laying around...oh god fashion is evil. I have just mentally put together a S.W.O.T analysis as to why I need to purchase it. So far I don't have any weaknesses or threats ;)

Eurovision 2009
Exciting news peeps – its Eurovision time once again! Woot Woot! I cannot remember a year that I have missed Eurovision since I was a small child. Possibly the funniest television viewing ever. Inappropriate comments from the host, really bad singing and possibly the worst outfits known to mankind. For Aussies, the grand final will be televised on SBS May 17th. If you cannot wait till then – check out Ukraine’s finest from 2007...The finely tuned ear can pick out the ye olde storm bird call...ahhh memories - Coogee Bay Palace circa 2000.

From the WTF?!?! files...
I am seriously thinking about getting a kitten so I have been looking around local pet shops checking out different breeds, pet foods, play things etc. The Litter Kwitter was on sale at my local pet store. I thought this shit was just a joke on Meet The Parents - apparently though you can train your cat to use a toilet. I am so disturbed I am thinking about getting some goldfish instead.Wednesday, April 15, 2009

Easter Boredom
I have made a decision that I will plan a getaway for every Easter break from next year until I am physically unable.
Good Friday kicked off with promise. An invitation for seafood lunch at a family friends house (mansion some may say) overlooking Coogee beach. However, upon waking that morning I realised it was actually a public holiday and my favourite breakfast eatery was closed –great…breakfast at home unless I could hold off until lunch – not an option for those that know me. Upon checking the contents of the fridge, there was only two items (three if you count the butter) some leftover Chinese food from the night before laced with meat (dog counts as a meat I am sure?) and a bottle of champagne. Hmmm….what to do? My sister and I polished off the champagne in a mere half hour (well we were hungry) and then got ready for lunch. Our day was just beautiful, great food, good wine and great company. Fast forward till 10pm when it was time to leave and I left the confines of the mansion for a taxi home. I have decided that the fresh air is what went wrong. Soon as the fresh air hit me I went for somewhat of a tumble. I was quick to blame the high heels until someone pointed out that I was wearing Havaiana thongs. Next memory is me waking up on Saturday morning (at my home thankfully)…..I had fallen asleep on a pile of ironing and was still fully dressed from the night before. Oh the shame (and the pain!)…I had grazes all over me, no skin on my elbow and bruises everywhere. It was at that point that I considered I may be a little out of control and considered giving up drinking….well for the rest of the weekend anyway.
Given my body had given out on me; I spent the rest of the weekend horizontal….well that and the fact that everything was frigging closed. Boredom reached all time high on Monday with the shitty weather in Sydney which in turn led to my sister and me making up games. Yes, that is right. It was like we had gone back 20 years to our childhood. This is why I am never spending Easter at home again:
Game 1: Remote Control – who can fit the television remote control in their mouth the furthest. We did this for about 30 mins.
Game 2: Scratchy In The Hole – My sister rolling up pieces of foil from Easter eggs and trying to throw them at a target (the target being a hole in the leg of my pyjama pants). We did this for approx. 1 hour. Sad. Very, very sad.

Petite Anglaise
I am very tired today. I stayed up reading a book called Petite Anglaise by Catherine Sanderson last night till 3am. The book is a true story about an English woman (Catherine - pictured) who falls in love with a French man (Mr. Frog) and has a baby with him (Tadpole)...unhappy with her relationship with Mr. Frog she starts a blog, Petite Anglaise as an emotional outlet...She becomes an overnight blogging sensation and has hordes of followers who all tune in daily to get their fix on her unhappy relationship...She then falls in love with one of her blog followers, an English man called James (uurrgghhh I hate James) and has an affair with him cheating on Mr. Frog. Things with James don't turn out and she is left as a lonely single mother trying to get her life back together...
And so the book ended. What a bloody let down. Where was the reconciliation with Mr. Frog that I thought was bound to happen? I was seriously pissed at Catherine on finishing the book so decided to check out her blog...Quite a fascinating story and worth a look if you like a real life love drama!
Shout Out To The Height Challenged
Please, please, please just accept that you are challenged in the height department and embrace it. A platform shoe on a man is social suicide as evidenced in the picture of the normally v. sexy Robert Downey Jnr.....
Miijo - House of Harlow
Miijo is a must visit for anyone that is struggling to find places that stock hot new products seen on OS fashionistas. Loving House of Harlow range of jewellery designed by the lovely Nicole Ritchie. I am loving the black cuff pictured in her stunning range.

The Dreaded Exposed Ear
Hahahaha. This makes me laugh so much. Every girls worst nightmare - the dreaded exposed ear faux pas. The only time you would ever want your ear showing like this is if you were at a LOTR themed party (so in other words...never). My sister and I have an unwritten rule that if one of us has 'ear' (ear showing through hair) we MUST tell each other immediately using the secret code words 'lemon tree tippy toe ear ear' so as not to draw attention to it...Suggest PH needs to speak to Nicky and come up with the same.

I heart Chris Martin
Okay...so I don't think his voice is the best that I have heard...Chris Martin when he is talking though is the best! So incredibly funny....Check out my fav Mr. Paltrow moments....
Looks I'm Loving....
Diane Kruger (does this woman ever look bad?!?) and Whitney Port are my fav looks this week..love, love, love Whitney's white T with leather....
Sob!
I think that I can count on one hand the amount of times that I have cried....like ever...this film clip however has upped my quota. If you haven't seen Duffy's Warwick Ave check it out....Beyonce Has Joined GaGa's 'I Hate Pants' Gang
For a while I have been looking for some new sunglasses and dance moves. I have killed two birds with one stone after watching this film clip. So utterly ridiculous but somehow it works!
The Lady GaGa sans pants look is really catching on...Hmmm...I am predicting that the pack will follow suit....I think I will hold off for now...I don't think that my local is ready for that...or in fact...anywhere for that matter....

Nooka Watches
Loving these super cool watches from Nooka. Nooka watches are the invention of a guy called Matthew Waldman who got his inspiration after a 'flashback' he had from his Grade 1 maths class while staring at a wall clock in a London hotel. He was struck by how few options there were for time display and these are the results:
http://www.nooka.com/
Maths was never really my thing throughout school (I know....hard to believe)...I wonder if I am going to get any cool design ideas out of my maths classes....Hmmmm....maybe a line of jewellery with '55378008' ?(for those of you not as immature as me and my maths buddies that spelled 'boobless' if you turned your scientific calculator upside down)

Hair Bungee!
For some strange reason I am drawn to products that are absolutely unnecessary and impractical hence why I am loving Hair Bungees! These fabo occy straps for hair are making their debut at Melbourne Fashion Week. Definitely the only bungee I will be trying....purchase them here:

Does anyone remember Smack The Pony? How friggin hilarious was it. For those of you that don't it was an English skit show that was shown in Aus on the ABC years ago. Very excited to find that there is a 'best of' DVD...Check out link of one of my fave skits:

Hollywood Hair Make-Over
I wish this was around way back in the day when I went through an experimental phase with my hair....It was 1990 and I wanted a perm....My hairdresser at the time talked me out of it but I wouldn't accept this advice. I somehow convinced them it would be a good idea just to perm my fringe....Hmmmm... Not a good look. Anyways, I digress. Check out this site if you want to test run a hairstyle before you commit to the chop.

Weird Celeb Baby Names
So I was just talking to some colleagues about Chris Martin and sharing my POV that his voice really isn’t that great (to which they got extremely offended for the record) Don’t get me wrong…I love Chris Martin and think he is very sexy I just don’t think that his voice live is something worth losing my shiz over* (surely a 6.5 score for singing Please Don’t Stop The Music on Wii Boogie Superstar has to put me in the ‘expert opinion’ category right?).
Anyway, this led to me thinking about celebrity baby names. I really like that Chris and Gwyneth named their daughter Apple and don’t think it at all strange. Throw into the mix Suri and Shiloh as well – I just don’t understand why everyone keeps bangin on about them being unusual. Those that should be put into the WTF category:
Moxie Crimefighter (Penn Jillette)
Sage Moonblood (Sly Stallone)
Audio Science (Shannyn Sossaman)
Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee)
And last but not least…..special mention to Frank Zappa for calling three of his children Moon Unit, Dweezil and Diva Thin Muffin. Now they are all kinds of wrong.

Crimes against Fashion – The Irish
So given it is St Pat’s Day I am going to turn my attention to the Irish (please don’t continue to read if you are Irish as this is not going to be that nice)....Even though today is officially St Pat’s Day….I celebrated (along with thousands of actual Irish People) on Sunday in Sydney’s ‘The Rocks’ precinct. No, I am not Irish but I do like to drink so I felt the need to partake in the celebrations.
I tell you what, if you are ever feeling down about your appearance and your self esteem is lowered – hang out with a bunch of Irish folk. I have never in my life seen so many unfortunate looking people in such close proximity to each other. My normally very pale and freckly skin looked like a deep tan compared to those around me. My normally loud and slightly obnoxious Aussie twang sounded like the soothing sounds of courting humpback whales. The most offensive part of the day though was the outfits that these Irish people choose to wear. I mean, how many ways can one fashion an outfit out of a flag?!?! Note: The colour green + pale skin = sensory vomit.
I am proposing a challenge to all Irish…..Your quest if you choose to accept: You have exactly 12 months to come up with a St. Pat’s celebratory outfit that must not include the following: a novelty tie, a halter top fashioned out of a flag, anything that says ‘Kiss me I’m Irish’ or a felt jester hat. You will need the luck of the Irish to succeed me thinks!

Am I Missing Something?!?! - Jethro Cave
Everyone is losing their shiz over Jethro Cave and I just don't get it. In a recent magazine shoot he is quoted: "I've got more to offer that just this pout and pose hunny" Um...WTF are you going on about? In my opinion, the only thing he has to offer is that his father is Nick Cave!
Break Up Buttons
Superstudio have created these hilarious little badges called 'break up buttons' to help next time you are struggling to deliver some harsh words to a loved (former loved) one. Rather than say it to their face, why not just wear it on your shirt! My favs are: We need some time apart, I never want to see you again, I'm not in love with you, Please stop calling, We should see other people, I'm still in love with my ex, and the old classic... It's not you it's me...

Quote of the Day....
"My grandmother is basically blind, but she can make out the lighter parts, like my skin and hair," Lady GaGa told Rolling Stone. She says, 'I can see you, because you have no pants on'.
"So I'll continue to wear no pants so that my grandma can see me."

From the WTF Files....The Conference Bike
I really hope this doesn't catch on at my workplace.....Apparently benefits of the conference bike are that it lowers inhibitions and is good for corporate team building...on the negative side - you look like a massive tool.

Crimes Against Fashion...
In my opinion, there is nothing hotter than a guy wearing a good pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt*...It is funny how if you take this outfit and modify it just a little (i.e by cutting off approx. 50cm off the length of the jeans) that this can go so horribly wrong (add to that a sailor hat and you have all kinds of wrong that I am just not going to go into). If I see one more guy trying to pull off a pair of cut offs I am going to lose it. Please do your part by discouraging any man in your life looking to partake in this trend from doing so.

Looks That I Am Loving...
Heidi Klum has had a good week (photo of Diane Kruger thrown in for good measure). Love all of these looks - especially DK and Heidi's jeans look. Hard to believe she has busted out three children and still looks this good. Depressing really given that I am sans children and couldn't squeeze a big toe into those jeans....ah well.
Shout Out to the Public Health System...

Hands up who has had a visit from the Hair Fairy?
RP - Raise your hand high in the air. Personally, I just don't get it but I am all about my fans. This one is for you Megan!
une tasse = a cup!
Many years ago I had this idea of trying to learn different languages by reading international editions of Vogue. Many years have passed and the only thing I can say is "where is the toilet?" in Japanese. Since December my attention has turned to learning French (let's just say French men are a good reason to learn!) but alas, my grasp of the language has been disappointing to say the least....UNTIL NOW! Check out this fun blog recommended to me by a friend:
Buyer's Remorse
Buyer's remorse: (pron. AARRGGHH)
1. An emotional condition whereby a person feels remorse or regret after a purchase. It is frequently associated with the purchase of higher value items which could be considered "bad" although it may also stem from a sense of not wishing to be "wrong". In an extreme situation, an individual who struggles with or cannot accept the possibility that they may have made a mistake, may be suffering from a more serious and severe condition that has truly little to do with "buyer's remorse".
2. BrooklynStar in 2 hours and 20 mins if she doesn't get outbid for a pair of Marc Jacobs shoes on e-bay.

Don't Attempt This At Home
Okay, so I know that acid wash jeans are hot right now but seriously...WTF?!?! Please promise me you won't attempt this look unless you look like the model in this photograph. If someone approached me wearing pants like that I would call 000 and hold my handbag close to my chest for fear of getting robbed.
PS...LOVING the jacket.
Farewell Ginge
It is with great sadness I make this post. Unfortunately today Mum's cat, Ginge Davis, left his life on earth to start a fresh new one in Cat Town (cat heaven). Ginge will be missed greatly but we know he is leading a better life hanging out (hopefully with 4 legs rather than 3.5) with previous Davis family cats Big Put, Stussy, Sooty, Mikey Doodle Bug, Ashley et al.
R.I.P little Ginge
It's My Birthday Biatches!
Happy 50th Barbs!

My Favourite Things: Steven Klein
One of my favourite photographers is Steven Klein. He is the man responsible for the Domestic Bliss photo shoot for W Magazine back in 2005 featuring Brad and Angelina. The photos are steamy and caused poor Jen to make the now infamous 'sensitivity chip' call. I can understand why....Hawt!
Check out Steven Klein's work and be amazed:
