Fuck sneakers and makeup, all i want is this shit!


I've been seeing Sylvanian Families advertised on tv lately and fuck man they're awesome. I ALWAYS wanted them as a kid but my pleb family didn't buy them for me. They're probably the greatest shit ever. Like how FUCKING cute are they. For the uninitiated (read: boys) Sylvanian Families are little toys that are alllll different animals, in cute little outfits, in cute little families, that live in cute little houses. They're so...cute! I don't know whether it's coz i'm kinda bummed today that I just want little cute things from my youth but I REALLY want this fucking house right now...


HOLY SHIT! Did this tree house totally blow your fucking mind or what? Coz i know it just blew my fucking head off. I wish it was socially acceptable for me to buy this and have it in my room. If cunts are allowed to collect gay little vinyl toys (i actually like vinyl toys i'm just in a bad mood) surely it's cool if I collect this shit....right?

I went on there website (i won't link it coz seriously who the fuck is really gonna go to it except me haha) and there's so much cool shit on it. And they introduce all the families and their jobs and shit. Old mate above clearly works in a cake store.

There's even a token Asian family...

But no single parent families which is disappointing. Move with the times Sylvania! The pandas appear to be the only ethnics, life must be tough for them. They're parents are probably overbearing and want their kids to over achievers. And the little pandas don't get to play with other animals coz they have to take hardcore piano lessons and study all night. Haha I can say this shit coz I'm part asian ok so don't get your back up.

Suck on My Guitar Alex

I'm sorry for You Tubing again, I hate blogs that just post You Tube clips, mostly because I never care enough to watch them, no matter who posted them.

BUT this is the new New Kaiser's Video, produced by Mark 'I want to Marry Sophie' Ronson and Manchester producer Eliot James.

Its a pretty interesting clip, not quite sure I get it on this drizzly afternoon but I like how it could be quite Sinister had they have used Adults but it is easier to swollow knowing it is kids. It reminds me of Lord of the Flies in a way, however THAT novel scared the living shit out of me. Anyway its getting too close to drink time for adult conversation, the real question is do I behave, go do Family dinner, get an early night and hit 8.30 Pump Class before Uni tomorrow morning? Or do I go out and get sloshed? Help. In more ways than one.

Fuck Grunge



Alice Dellal can do it, she would look hot in a plastic bag, but few can pull it off. The whole Notstalgic good thing about Grunge is that it is over and if you missed it it's not coming back. It served its purposed, changed music and moved on. It was about as reclusive as you can get. It certainly wasn't mass produced shoes from China intended to fuel someones Prescription Drug and Plastic Surgery habit.



And despite having cheap black tights with holes in them, Cherry Red Doc Martens, minute Denim Skirts and bad baggy horrible coloured Tartan shirts from K-Mart when I was in my teens its not something I want to go back to. ITS FUCKING OVER PEOPLE. And nothing could signal more of a change from cheap lycra and holes to original elegance than the new Chanel Hosiery. I'm not sure if I want the shoes, the tights or the legs but I would happily take all 3.



The shoes are made with Flanelette and Calfskin Leather.



I don't really have anything much else to say other than I am getting crankier and boreder as the minutes tick by on the clock. Even listening to Method Man isn't getting me excited about the fact I don't have to come back to this boring sucky vortex of shit till Monday. Maybe some fucking SUNSHINE would help. Where did it go? Why am I wearing Jellies and a floaty Silk Singlet top? Why the fuck is Melbourne so retarded.

Sorry. Grunge, Chanel, Rant. Its what I do best.

Whyyyyyyyy? Rant.

I don't hate Converse shoes. I actually don't mind Chucks but shit, they are the most uncomfortable feet killers in the world. I have no idea how people can wear them day in day out. Maybe that's why some of them look so unhappy, their feet are slowly dying.

I used to rock One Stars when I was at school, I had a few pairs, the first being the standard black and white classics. My friends used to claim that I was 'trying to look like Todd from Overboard' but if they'd spent more time looking at the kicks he was wearing rather than trying to chat him up, they would know that Todd from Overboard did not rock One Stars, he was wearing the skate brand equivalent.

Little did they realise, that the reason I bought my first pair was because I wanted to look like Mariah in Dream Lover:



Turns out she was wearing Clydes, but hey.

I even wore a pair to my formal. Pink frosty ones (I really need to dig up those photo's - classic!) before I got smart and started hoarding every pair of Gazelle's I could get my feet into.

Anyway, Converse have now released these:



In the words of Soph D, "Uh oh, I think grunge is coming back." Now correct me if I'm wrong, but Kurt Cobain didn't even want to be famous and I'm sure if he was still alive, he probably wouldn't endorse these. Maybe Courtney needs a bit of coin but I think these are tacky as shit. I can't even bring myself to show you the other shoes in the range.

Does someone at Converse head office think generation Y have missed out on something big and this is their chance to pretend that they were a child of the 90's? Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's just a tribute.

Now these are tragic, duct tape con's? Please! They shouldn't come ready made like this. What the hell is going on here?



I'm getting old. That must be it.

Now kids, it's not a fashion so put your hair straighteners and credit cards away, It's gone. It's 2008 now, just leave it.

Cleaning Out My Closet

Not like the gay Eminem Song (what ever happened to him?) but literally. I have been trying really hard to throw stuff out but am really bad at it. This is the stuff I am parting ways with on eBay. Goodbye boy clothes, hello Marc Jacobs replacements. I also have some Chanel Sunnies, Witchery Knit, Zimmermann Dresses and Bikini's and all kinds of other fun stuff, but listing heaps is a pain! Keep your eyes out next week.

Pucci Cotton Scarf, it is Hankercheif Size and not of much use unfortunately.



Viktor & Rolf (beautiful) Printed Silk Mini Skirt, also too small, looks porno.



ZY (Rad) Snowboarding Jacket



Carhartt Zip Hood



ZY Reversible Crew Jumper




Element Skate Projects Windbreaker

So I Think You Can't Dance

Atrocious!




Prob don't need to bother watching past the dancing part.

No No Notorious

If you know me well you know how much I love

Wu
Biggie
Nas

In that order and I have in my hot little blog hands the trailer for the upcoming Biggie Movie. Behold



Hopefully we even get it here at the Cinemas, if not Mexi you are on Torrent Duty. Speaking of which we need Adulthood! Anyway I am looking forward to rocking my Claw Sunnies to the Theatre with a Silk Bomber jacket, Cigar and a Jumbo box of Popcorn.

Thanking my lucky stars

In a world where you get invited to everything via email, txt or Facebook, ain't it nice to get something in your letter box?

Isn't it exciting when it comes in the mail like this? :




...and you open it and can't believe your eyes




...and it gets even better because inside are shoes that you've wanted for ages!!

Support!

I hate saying things like 'Support Australian Hip Hop' because I only think you should 'support' something if you like it, not because of where or who it came from or what you owe to them. That is asslickingly ridiculous behaviour reserved for the Poxy. RAH! I'm in a happy hyper sunshine Thursday mood. Someone get me a drink.



With that said you should 'support' the Apollo Kids because Young Steezy is an amazing DJ and still not so up his own ass that he won't play Newport's premier Hip Hop night with Mexi. And if any of you know Edo you will know that he is probably the nicest DJ in Melbourne and a quiet achiever in the Scratching world.

And despite all that they play awesome music! Their Favela Rock sets are the shit and this mixtape is all that less the drunken fights and sticky floor. Get on here to get your Download on, if only to view the amazoid cover. Props

House of Jackie Brown

A friend of the MOB's and brainchild of Jaclyn York & Emily Brown, House of Jackie Brown makes some seriously amazing Bikini's, which I believe CC may have even sourced for the Estevan Oriol shoot?

Anyway you can check out their Wares and buy online here. But if you are into girls doing Slip n Slide in Bikinis set to Baile Funk check out the Promo Vid below.

GLOW IN THE DARK TOUR YO!



It's been announced, Kanye's touring first week of December and he's bring Nas with him! Our girl at i miss cigarettes is gonna be amped no doubt! hahah
Say what you what about Kanye, I think he's pretty douchey myself, but he's a great performer and this show will be dope. I'm so there! He's only playing east coast though, so if you aint Melb, Bris or Sydney, start crying...and not just coz of this tour . haha. Just kidding...

Jellies

Speaking of Summer Jellies and Thongs are making a massive comeback for Summer and what better a pair to have on your feet than these Yves Saint Laurent Biarritz Heart Thongs, they retail in the states for $195 a pair but I'm sure I could find them somewhere online on sale.



But if we are talking YSL what I really want is a pair of Tribute Shoes, in every colour possible, but if I had to pick one colour (at $760 a pair) it would have to be these. Black would be more practical but I bought an 'interpretation' of these in Black from Zomp on the weekend. Not quite as good but pretty much exactly the same construction wise, just roughly $600 less in Price tag.



Also spotted in Vogue, next to the Biarritz Hearts, was a few variations of Chanel Glitter Jellies with Camelia fastenings. They are a little scary and a bit too cutesy for me, I think they'd be totally appropriate if Victoria Beckham had a daughter.



I am absolutely loving these Cream Marc Jacobs Jellies that I picked up from Net-A-Porter for an absolute steal, so much so I'm going to grab a pair of the Black as well for the upcoming Summer.



A little wedge heel makes a possibly unflattering Flat piece of Plastic much easier on the legs and the gold Ankle Buckle detail make them a little more interesting. At $50 you can't really go wrong.



I also have my eye on these more colourful numbers, also by Marc Jacobs but still a little expensive at the moment, $160 US, wait for Sale time for those. They also come in a beautiful Coral but I'm not made of money, yet.



With the Sun Shining like it is today it's not hard to imagine rocking all these and more to the beach. Only 27 Days till Port Douglas, I hear they have a Chanel boutique now. What a Holiday it will be.

Who's with me? Come on man, Bone Thuggs! Shit is hilarious!

Broken Record...

Okay I know all I do is harp on about Summer, but holy shit it's officially October already motherfucker, can it be warm! Shit bitch.
Anyway all I can do right now is look at Summer fashion popping up and hope that one day I can actually ditch the cardigan one of these days. Noone does summer stylez quite like Tigerlily. Okay so I've heard the creator of the label Jodhi Meares is a scientologist, which is seriously a big turn off but fuck man the new range is so purdy, I want it all. There new website launched recently so peep it here

My picks are these:


Hawt!


Fringe! Love it, Coral! love it.


Mexican vibe, I love embroidery. I'm a bit mexican embroidery obsessed, I own numerous shit like this but I love it man.


Fuck yeah more mexican shit. I'm so buying this. I'll donate to Xenu afterwards or something to even out my hatred for the tom cruisoids.

4 Day Weekend



I want one. Especially if the Weather really is going to be that Good Tomorrow and Friday. Get my Sun on.

i c u lookin at me and i can tell by yo eyes that you feelin me

I am putting an end to the indie posts. It's Summer time bitches which means 3 things and 3 things only...RRRRRRR...NNNNNNN.....BBBBBBBBBB. Woot. I wanted to post 'Where Da Party at' probably like the greatest song ever other than Mariah Carey's Fantasy but that shit was embedding disable, fuck you Jagged Edge! You should be stoked anyone even wants to post your music these days. Sheesh. So I had to go with 112. Damnit, I'm making a mix tape and posting it soon.



Remember Peaches and Cream, that track by them as well? My friend in highschool lost her virginity to that song to her cheezoid boyfriend. So hilarious. He booked a hotel and everything and there was like icecream involved. He was really into his rnb too. lol.

Only By The Night

I was a bit late getting onto the Kings of Leon, I am generally the last person to 'get' great bands, I only really discovered the Artic Monkey's late last year, same with the Stokes, Kaisers, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire annd every other Indie Band that's been thrashed on my iPod in the past few months. I only heard MGMT for the first time on Saturday. I think it actually works in my favour as they never get oversaturated for me, and after listening to Hip Hop and often only Hip Hop for such a long time it's a nice change.



Anyway the new Kings of Leon album is out, Only By the Night, you may have heard the lead single Sex on Fire as I believe its being thrashed on Nova and many other Commercial Radio stations around Australia, despite this its a great track. On recommendation by a Good Friend I checked out the Clip, as apparently I had to check out Caleb Followill writhing around being sexy on an Operating Table. I was not disapointed.

The band has their own You Tube page where you can catch most of their official videos, you can also watch weekly Behind the Scenes video's of the making of Only by the Night if you haven't got much to do today. They also prevent you from being able to post videos but if you would like to catch Caleb Followill doing his thing its all here.

If you haven't heard the Kings of Leon before I would seriously recommend starting with Aha Shake Heartbrake, namely tracks like Taper Jean Girl, The Bucket and Pistol of Fire - which Mark Ronson covered for last year's Version LP, and work your way through. And if you like them, pray with me they tour for this record. Amend to Caleb.

When good faces go...white

Looking at Soph's post I remembered a haunting image I saw while watching True Hollywood Stories one night (love dat shit). It was bout the Desperate Housewives bitches and went for like 3 hours given there were so many of them, anyway Eva Longoria who I kinda love coz she's little, latina and has no boobs and wears inappropriate short shit all the time, was on it. She used to be mega cheezy, pagaent girl and on day time tv and a cheerleader back in the day. Behold....



Hahaha, what the fuck girl??? I think she lived in Texas or some shit so they probably didn't have foundation in any other colour but fat-whitey but shit bitch. She looks like the joker. Maybe one of the other cheerleaders did her makeup and sabotaged her on purpose. I've seen enough cheerleader movies to know that is totally viable.

Props to you now though girl you are truly a caliente mama-chita!



So purdy!

I'm not blessed with Mediterranean Melanin, I am very much a product of my very white Irish Bloodline. I fight if I drink too much, I burn like a British Tourist in St Kilda if I go out in the Sun without Sunscreen and I am pretty partial to most forms of Potatoes.



However I can still man a Tube of Lancôme Flash Bronzer like I was Paris Hilton's assistant. And after working in Costmetics earlier in my life I am very much aware of matching your face to your skin, and whilst Megan Fox is very very hot she clearly has the money, people and resources to be doing this but has decided White Face Orange Body is the way to get the boys.

I'm sure that was the first thing the boys noticed anyway.

Lookout

I finally Ate A Teaspoon of Concrete, Hardened up and went to the gym last night for the first time in I think around 2 years. It was brutal but it was fucking awesome!

I was genuinely scared for my life as I undertook my hour training at the hands of a crazy very tanned very fit little pocket rocket who looked like she could beat up Sanch.For those that don't know Sanch he can leg press 200kg and is about 80ft tall. All enquiries to info@hayleymei.com.



Anyway I digress, as usual. Body Combat is actually joy, drying my hair this morning wasn't as my arms actually don't work anymore, but any 1 hour workout that can pack Cardio, Situps, Pushups, Lunges, Squats, Punching, Kicking and general Lording is OK with me. If I'm going to go to the gym I may as well get fucking done for the hour I am there. Time to get ridiculously fit and Gwen Stefani like.
