PINK!

Everything I want right now is PINK!!! Why is that?? P.S. I love how boys rock pink now - PINK, not "Salmon" haha...CUDI IS KING!

Just watch it...

Thanks to the Women's Studies class I'm taking this semester, I've been majorly interested in representations of women in the media lately, particularly in ads, and how different companies successfully or not-so-successfully market their products to the female. While blog-surfing I hit upon a site called Jezebel, a site for women about current fashion/celebrity/sex issues and one article really impressed me about Nike's latest campaign for its fitness clothing line. I have to admit, I have been a fan of Nike Women's campaigns for a while now. They always seem to get it right when it comes to linking qualities of strength, power and health to women - something other brands seem to fail at, or traditionally only associate with men. Their latest campaign features a bunch of top female athletes doing what they do best, with a major focus on ideas of "success", "strength" and "victory" - you won't see any skinny girls strutting around on catwalks or sexually pouting at the camera. This kind of campaign can appeal to any woman, and doesn't encourage a fantasy to be model-thin or that you are only worthy if you are beautiful. The focus is on doing your personal best and having a healthy body. It's a great message, nice one Nike! And very smart too, cuz now you've sucked us in to buying your product!! God damn you advertising genuises!

Above: Nike empowers.

FUN FOR THE EYES.

New Adidas Lookbook!

I love the new Adidas Women's Collection Lookbook! It features cool chicks like Whitney Port, Ciara, Agyness Deyn & Adrienne Bailon dancing and playing up for the camera in the cutest outfits!! Love Love Love. In class, we're studying representations of women in advertising and it's making me analyse shit like this at the moment...Props to Adidas for featuring a bunch of hot girls of all colours and attitudes...but they're still not exactly "real" girls are they? Would be nice to see some non-celebs with "real" bodies featured in their next campaign. What do you think?

Blog-loving.

Ok, so thanks to Mr Sandery's post on Facebook I have discovered this freakin' awesome music blog called One a Day which, as the title suggests, reviews one track a day entirely for the purpose of enlightening music-lovers such as myself. What makes this blog so different to others is that #1 - it is genre non-specific, so we're getting to listen to a bunch of stuff that is completely diverse, and #2 - the posts are actually very well written in a witty and casual way. Aaaand, they actually know their music shit so you can trust that whatever tracks get a mention on this blog will be good. I get highly excited when I find blogs like this :) Just to further blow my mind, their most recent post is on my current fave jam "Nothin' on You" by B.O.B & Bruno Mars!! This is the song I have been raving about for the last few days after I discovered a dude singing a crazy r&b cover of it on YouTube. THIS IS MY SHIT!! Amazing track. And if you wanna know more of my thoughts on it you might as well just read the review that One a Day has posted cuz it matches mine exactly. Bookmark this blog asap! And below you can check out the original film clip, plus that cover by UrbanGermany from Youtube (which is a cool version with sung verses written by the singer himself). Ok, I gotta jet cuz I'm busting for the toilet but have been putting it off so I can write this post...bladder explosion in 5...4...3...2...BYE!

Why, Pharrell? Why?

What the hell was Pharrell thinking?? The haircut? The face pubes?? The sexiness is gone :(

Thoughts for today.

If there was no such thing as ego, people could just be, rather than be-cause. 

IT'S LIKE THAT UH.

Envy at the Promethean was off the chain last night!! Got to bust out my running man to "Every Little Step" by Bobby Brown. Twas an awesome awesome thing. Here's my old school swag for the night, i even had Cazal inspired clear glasses to go with it but I somehow lost them last night...people kept on trying them on and they disappeared. Although they only cost me like 10 bucks online so I'm not complaining!!

ENVY RETURNS FRIDAY MARCH 19TH!!

Envy is taking you back...waaaaay back! Get ready to hear all your favourite old school tracks in an extra funky Friday night special. We're taking all your new jack swing requests so hit me up! Just to get you in the mood, here's the title song from one of my FAVE 90s flicks "White Men Can't Jump"!

mmmmmm.

Two things that suck at the moment - being broke from Melbourne, and attempting to do the no carbs thing because of the weight I've put on from Melbourne. Especially when you feast your eyes on goodies like this. Cupcakes Couture. Fair enough I can't afford Gucci. But when you can't even afford a cupcake with Gucci icing, that's even more lame. *Sigh*

GOOD VIBES MELBOURNE!!

Just got back from Melbourne and I am beyond buggered!!! I wanted front row at the Roots stage at Good Vibes so we got there early and stood in the same position for 7 hours straight with no food. But it was all worth it!! Cuz I got prime position to see Travie from Gym Class Heroes!!! OHHHHHH LORD HE IS FINE. Not to mention Kid Cudi came off the stage and poured straight grey goose into my girl Nicole's mouth!!!! IT WAS OFF THE CHIZZAIN. Anyway, too tired to blog so here are a few pics. Enjoy x

FIYAHHHH

WTF!

Here are some images from my 25th bday night. I have no idea who owns this red car that I find myself sitting in. Apologies to the owner!!!

OOOOWEEEE!

Ok i'm super dooper excitable because not only is my 25th birthday only 4 days away (weeeeee!) but I'm celebrating with all my special ladies at the Good Vibes festival in Melbourne in 2 weeks time!!!!!!!! Whoooooo hooooooo!!! As you can see, it's kinda hitting me now. The line up is fucking insane. And yes, I've mentioned before that I have a leeeedle crush on Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes and may or may not be stalking him at several parties after the show...Why Katy Perry would choose Russell Brand over him makes no sense to me at all. haha well anyway, in my blog surfing tonight I came upon the HOLY GRAIL of blogs - Travis McCoy's OWN PERSONAL BLOG! Is it weird that I get so excited about these things? Well I don't care, it's made my night! If ya wanna check it out, here's the link http://traviesblog.com and here's a funny video i nabbed from it :) (makes sense if you've seen the youtube video of the kid who has just been to the dentist lol)

Travie goes to the dentist..... from Travie McCoy on Vimeo.

In other news, I'll be sure to post pics of my 25th birthday night where I'm hitting up Sugar Club in Adelaide. Haven't been there in years! Hope to see some old and new faces. I have to work the next day at 9am so I'm gonna try and keep Minaj under control or things could get nasty!!! hahahaha

Adorable.

Philosophy 101: Fuck Love.

In her interview post-beating, Rihanna said "Don't react off love. F*#! Love". FUCK LOVE. It's like the 2010 remix of "Love is Blind". And we all know it's true. Love is like Photoshop. It blurs, smudges; it takes something which may have very visible flaws and transforms it to something like perfection, in the eyes of its creator of course. This is important, is Love a creation? Is it something which we make up in our minds in order to fulfil some kind of strange emptiness, because we don't want to be alone? And if it's of our own creation, can we just as easily destroy it? Is it even real if it is a creation of the mind?

It seems pessimistic to not believe in Love. In uni, I remember countless conversations between 3 of us girl buddies debating about this topic. Miss A believed there was no such thing as love. Miss B fervently defended love. And I sat in between, waiting for an argument to convince me either/or. I will admit though, at the age of 18, my inclination was pro-Love - that it did exist, but I lacked the experience of love which would make it a fact.

Seven years later, and my opinions about love have gone from hopeful, to essential, to inconsequential. Now, Love to me seems something constructed, binding and yes, blinding. When I reflect on being in a relationship, I see how restricted I was and how utterly dependent I was on another human being. To be so dependent on someone is a dangerous thing, because when that someone is taken away, where does that leave you?


What bothers me about Love is that it makes you stupid. It makes you forgive the unforgivable. And sometimes that means we hurt ourselves over and over again because love makes us focus on the good and forget the bad. When you say it like that, it doesn't seem like such a bad thing. What's so bad about seeing the best in people all the time? Nothing of course, it's very positive for you to think like that but the fact is, it AIN'T REALITY. I want to live my life with TRUTH. I want to see things as they really are, not some photoshopped version which satisfies my own insecurities. 


Another cliche, "love is a drug". Yes, it does leave you light-headed. It takes away your focus. It's addictive. I've been through my drug phase, and yo drugs are cool and I have no regrets...but in the future, I don't wanna do drugs. For me, I feel stronger, freer and I concentrate better when I am not drugged up on love. This love thing might work for some of you, and to those I say all the best. I'm not saying every relationship out there is fucked because I know many happy couples. And these couples are the ones who have no image between them; they see each other for who they really are and are not blinded by some kind of perfection or expectation they have created in their minds. 


To all my single ladies I will just say, "never be a stupid bitch" and if you're gonna get into this love game, just remember to keep your eyes open and don't start blurring up shit. See things as they really are, or you won't be fucking love...love will be fucking YOU. 

Does anyone else see a resemblance?

Is anyone else picking up on the similarities here between Gary Coleman and Yoda??? Ewwwww.

You WILL Get Bitchslapped.

You know what, I said to myself I wouldn't comment on this Tiger Woods bullshit because frankly I don't give a fuck about what celebrities do with their lives. I mean, I like to know the latest news out of curiousity, but as for making judgements on their actions...well, it's not really my place. Celebrity lives are simply there for my entertainment, something to laugh at when I'm bored. But as I was watching Entertainment Tonight's report on Tiger this morning, it actually got a reaction out of me. Apparently (and I mean apparently because this IS Entertainment Tonight after all), Tiger is in "Sex Rehab". Apparently, Tiger has been diagnosed with having a sex addiction and he needs to go through therapy to cure himself of it. Whether this is true or not, this whole idea is just a bullshit cop out. I think it's pathetic that every time a celebrity cheats on his wife, he suddenly has a sex disease. Well you know what, Tiger Woods DOES have a disease, but it's not sex-related. He simply has "I'm-a-lying-fucking-tool-who-likes-to-fuck-a-bunch-of-chicks-and-then-hurt-my-wife-and-family-itis". And the only way to cure that is to get bitch-slapped by his wife. That's all Mrs Woods was doing when she was chasing him down with a golf club - she was just trying to cure Tiger from this horrible disease. Club his head in I say. Anyway the thing is, men love sex and many find it hard staying monogamous. But there are also many guys who ARE very loyal, despite temptations, and these are the men who have integrity and true regard for their loved ones. The ones who give into physical desires are weak and pathetic and do not deserve to get out of jail free on the "sex disease" card.

I've wasted enough words on this already. I've got a lot of bad celebrity news shows/Hannah Montana/midday movies to watch this week so expect more random rants like these. Just know that if you cheat, do not expect anything less than a golf club to the head from me. That is all.

What Time Is It? It's Drool Time.
