"Don't be all shadow and no substance"

Ps... Again...

To those five grown men who were staring at me mockingly yesterday evening when I came into Superquinn Blackrock with my bowler hat on, looking at me like I was some type of window licker, I could see you. I'm not blind. And your almost "pitying" looks towards me did not go unnoticed. But I don't give a fuck. I don't expect balding men in fleeces with middle-aged spread to like what I wear. I liked it, so turn to the guy to the left of you, lick your middle finger of your right hand, and shove it up his ass. Yes. I said it.

Jog on.

Yours lovingly, as always,

The Next Big Thing.



This guy is going to be huge. I'm talking Chanel or D&G advert campaigns huge. He has a blog about his life as a model which he started up a few months back, and how models are not the typical stereotypes that we're used to. You can check it out HERE. His grammatical errors are adorable in his blogs (he's from Spain and is only just 18 by a few months), and I would be lying through my teeth, nose, mouth, and well, every part of my body if I said I didn't think that he was devistatingly gorgeous looking. But even though he is legal I still feel kind of a pervert for thinking such illicit thoughts about him. Oh well. I could deal with that if I had him.


I'll give you guys a moment or two for the droolage to stop.



Om nom nom


Ok, time to close your mouths and stop drooling, people.

Sweet dreams,

Revamping

I've decided to revamp my page. Make it cleaner, whiter, new. Like my attitude towards my life. I've decided to make some changes to my life. For me, no one else. These are somewhat my new years resolutions, but I don't like calling them that as I seem to have some type of stupid lazy mental block when it comes to new years resolutions. Within minutes of someone asking me if I've made any new years resolutions and me telling them, I'll have the cigarette in my mouth with a lighter lighting it. So I'm not calling them new years resolutions, I shall name them revamps. Has more of a ring to it anyways.



1) Quit smoking - already been doing it before Christmas so I'm going to try and keep it up.

2) Continue to lose the spare tyre - I SHALL BE ABLE TO FIT INTO A SIZE 10... EVENTUALLY!! Salads are now my new friends... Whooooooooooooooooo...


3) Be more selfish - this is a hard one to justify to other people but it makes perfect sense to me. You see, I have spent the majority of my life going along with other peoples plans, not really throwing in my input, and never saying what I really want to because I'm afraid of what people might think. But now I think it is about time that I listened to the little fat stubborn girl who stomps her foot hard on the ground inside of my head and take heed to her advice. I shall suit myself a lot more, go to clubs that play my kind of music instead of that vile "UNZ UNZ UNZ UNZ UNZ UNZ" music that makes my brain feel like it is slowly being pushed out from behind my eyes, and I shall wear what I always want to wear, not what people think I should.

4) Make my own clothes - I love love love customizing my old t-shirts. I love that feeling when you buy a large rock t-shirt and start with the slicing, cutting, tearing, & stitching. I regularly go into shops that sell these flimsy little excuses for tops for insane prices and I say to myself that anyone can do that with such ease. I have a few ideas that I want to put into play that won't take much effort, just some time and a sewing machine. I'd love to enroll myself into a class that can help you to learn how to sew properly or something so I can finesse it all.

I would like to see if in a years time if I have achieved any  of these little revamps, and which ones I have not succeeded with. Hopefully I'll have completed 4/4 and be a better version of myself. If not, then roll on 2011!

Hope you're all having a nice, freezing cold Thursday.

"Simplicity is a difficult thing to achieve" - Charlie Chaplin

Happy Monday bunnies!


I'm still getting over this bug type thing that has decided to attack me, but I'm feeling miles better than I was thank goodness. Today I watched "Chaplin", the biopic film of Charlie Chaplin, and I was mesmerized. What a life he led. I sat there for over 2 hours, not moving an inch as I didn't want to miss a thing. I was recording it on Sky+ anyways but I still didn't want to miss a beat. I've always loved his films as a child but I didn't know a lot about his personal life, just the man in front of the camera.


My dad used to have a bowler hat when I was a child and my brother showed me how to role it up my arm and onto my head like Chaplin did, which I still do all the time with hats. I think I wore that hat for about a year straight. I've had a sort of obsession for hats ever since. I bought a bowler hat at the beginning of September in Topshop after I spazzed out for about 5minutes in front of it as I was so happy I found one because they didn't have any ANYWHERE. It's my best friend. All I have to do is lash on tonnes of mascara, red lipstick and do my fringe and I'm ready to roll with that baby on my head. Instant coolness. Like shoes, I really think hats can make an outfit complete. The next hat I'm looking for now is a nice small top hat. Think Topshop again might have them!


Charlie Chaplin was the business people, even if he did marry a bunch of times. Sometimes it just takes a while to find the right one. I even loved his style. Monochrome. Kinda "tramp" looking. Brilliant hahaha.


Here's a few photos of the main man himself to keep you all entertained.

I'm Sick

I'm sick. Not appreciating this at all. Can't stop vomiting so I have been reduced to brining the laptop into the bathroom with me so I can study for my exam that I have in, oh, 4 hours. This is not good at all. The only thing that is cheering me up right now is this song. Has a fighting essence to it. Like you could go jogging to it or something.


Hope none of you are feeling as crappy as I am.

Happy Friday bunnies don't get up to too much mischief this weekend ;)

Ugggggggggggggggh

Ok, I am absolutely LOVING the fashion at the minute, as I have always dressed with a bit of a grunge element to my clothes so it is now easy as sin to get clothes that I like, but what I cannot understand is the fact that velvet is everywhere. I hate it. Hate hate hate hate. I think it can look nice on people sometimes and I'm quite ok for it to be on dresses or whatever, but now I am terrified of being out in public in case I rub up against someone who has velvet on them somewhere. The feel of that stuff rubbed up backwards is ridiculously disgusting. I'm shuddering to the thought. Not cool people.
Hopefully velvet will be in and out of fashion soon. But I have a feeling it won't be. Damn.

Uggggghhhhhhhh.
