Cutting the Jungle

They say it’s a jungle out there, but is this show the lioness or just a meerkat in Louboutins? I watched Lipstick Jungle while making a dress(I’ll post a picture of it later)so my attention wasn’t 100% but I do have fantastic multi tasking skills! After so many ‘not so good’ Sex and the City spin offs all with quotes “From the makers of Sex and the City”, “Critics are saying this is the new Sex and the City” or even “ This show is better than Sex and the City”  I have given up. Lipstick Jungle is a worse version of Cashmere Mafia, and Cashmere Mafia was axed after the first season. But at least Cashmere Mafia had some good clothes. Lipstick Jungle is just a bunch of middle-aged women going through mid-life-crises in, well, average clothes. Apparently (as they say in the ads) these women are powerful, I highly doubt that. The characters seem fake and are not able to be related to but they are suspiciously similar to Cashmere Mafia’s characters , the movie executive Wendy Healy played by Brook Shields is just like Zoe Burden from Cashmere Mafia, both trying to juggle, friends, kinds and work, Nico Reilly played by Kim Raver is like Mia Mason of C.M. (Cashmere Mafia), are both magazine editors and Victory Ford played  by Lindsay Price is similar to Caitlin Dowd, well they’re not the same, (one’s a fashion designer the other is the head of marketing for a cosmetics company .

I am seriously over these unoriginal shows/spin offs. I want to watch something that isn’t predictable and still appealing to women of all ages (well 16-40).

PS. My glasses and I don’t ahve any backups and our hot water tank started leaking so yeah, bad luck for me.

Another day another failed attempt.

-sigh- after 4 attempts at ‘vlogging’ today me and Bianca (http://www.quietmilk.blogspot.com/) failed miserably. 1^st attempt we made too many  mistakes, 2^nd attempt my camera’s battery died 3^rd attempts we couldn’t find the ‘vlog’ in Bianca’s cam-corder and on our 4^th attempt we just were so frustrated  we couldn’t be bothered. So we just decided to go on the park.

The park looked like masses of fun, but sadly it was not made for people over the age of 5. Fear not me and Bianca had a lot of fun!  As you can tell(click for larger version). >>

 After our little ‘play around’ we walked back to Bianca’s house, it was all dandy until we saw a DVD case on the grass, we looked closely and let out a stunned ‘yelp’. It was an empty porn DVD case called ‘ginormous titties volume 4’ after we got over the shock we hyperventilated in laughter. It was hilarious! To my shock Bianca took a picture of it. Yes I was scared and scarred!

After our not so wanted interaction with porn we ran home and went on the computer, Bianca chatted away on MSN and I complained about how slow her computer was.

Ahh wonderful day! I love my Bianca.

What’s with the bob?

Is Karl Lagerfeld’s new obsession ‘the bob’? After observing two campaigns he shot and styled I think it is! The Chanel fw0809 Claudia sported a YSL style black bob. Even though I loved the collection itself, but the Claudia? As in Claudia Schiffer! 38 years old! –Hyperventilates- Karl really needs to get ‘out with the old and in with the new’! I would much prefer Vlada (Roslyakova) or –sighs dreamily- Daria (Werbowy).

Case two, Fendi, same model, same style different hair! Here’s Raquel Zimmerman with a blonde bob!

 Hmm looks like they were channeling YSL/ Naomi C at Chanel.

 And Anna Wintour at Fendi.  

hmm…

BTW, what’s with Raquel’s tanky arms?

New designs

     

I LOLed hard.

Isn’t this just hilarious?

 As I was checking up on my co owned blog http://melbstylescouts.blogspot.com/ I noticed the banner had changed. I don’t know who wrote it (out of Bianca and Lisa) but a giant hahah to them! It’s very, very true. We are going through a quarter life scrisis. Surprisingly today I have nothing really interesting to blog about. So I’m just going to gabble for about the next 100 words or so.

A few days ago I realized that Sam, Kimmy, Marla and I would make a great posse.  A fantastic mix of future actress, comedian in the making, drama queen and me. But we shouldn’t because we would never listen in class and never get any work done. Not that we care… We get in trouble so much already, usually in geography class, the teacher just doesn’t like us.

Tomorrow I might make a vlog with Bianca. That’s if we do met up.

Anticipation

It has been a long time since I wrote a blog on the train. Well the truth is I don’t catch the train by myself much anymore and sometimes I simply have better things to do (read, listen to music, homework or eat). Actually I only catch the train every 2 or 3 days a week, because since my mum got a new job I just go to her office in the afternoon. Today I ‘m having one of those days where I just want to sit alone on the train and blog. -Looks out the train window- Melbourne is ugly, well it’s a pretty city in the making (yeah I know it’s debatable but don’t argue with me).

Anyway, I cannot wait until the holidays; I’ve been thinking that since the term started. I love and loath the holidays at the same time, because when I have that time I’m bound to waste most of it and procrastinate. I procrastinate so much I am procrastinating to start a procrastinating club. No doubt teachers are going to give us loads of holiday homework, and no doubt I’m going to leave it until the last Sunday.

In geography class today Phoebe and I thought of reasons why we shouldn’t come to school in the last week.

1. Because it’s the last week, as if anyone is going to concentrate on doing work.

2. In most our classes we are having class parties (trust me, I would much rather staying at home than being at a Mac.Rob class party)

3. The private schools finished last week, since we try so hard at being a private school why don’t we finish early like them?

4. We finish early on three of the days anyway.

5. Friday is out of uniform day and no one can be serious on out of uniform day.

But our school is mean and illogical we have a math test on Thursday, now that is just plain cruel!

But hey! Right now it’s all talk no action, that’s because it’s still fun to make ridiculous lists and keep repeating “I can’t wait until the holidays”. I must bid adieu now, because I have to study for my math test

Brainy!

Ok, today in class my teacher was telling us about the brain and Bloom’s Taxonomy. I found it surprisingly very interesting. Here is some of the facts we learned, well ‘I learned’ because ¾ of the class was half asleep and not paying attention, the only class I ever do that in is Geography.

-          The Bloom’s Taxonomy affects pretty much everyone.

-          Evolutions get shorter and shorter because people want more.

-          Over the last 50,000 years of human existence 650 life times were spent in caves, only in the last 4 did man (and woman) measure time correctly and most of the material goods we take for granted today have only been invented in our lifetime.

-           Knowing what kind of learner you are is just as important as learning itself.

-          Men tend to have more ‘intellectual self-esteem’ than women. For example (pronounces ex-ahm-ple instead of ex-am-ple) when men look for a job they think “Am I going to like it?” or “Is this job good for me?” but women tend to think more “Am I good enough for the job?” or “How hard is the job going to be?”

Pretty interesting huh?

Now a special shout out to my best friend (well one of them anyway) Bianca ————–  who got girl of the week on teenvogue.com! Congratulations I’m so proud!
