Childhood Heroes

So a little while back, to acknowledge the end of a term of school-based horrors (ahaha, love you, SMS) a friend of mine held a dress-up party to celebrate her 17th birthday.

The theme was childhood heroes.

We had Bill and Ben, Sailor Scouts, Wolves, Superheroes, Fairy Princesses, Corpse Brides, Dolls and other wonderfully colourful creatures of our pasts.

However, I followed a mildly popular trend of the 'Disney character'. We had two Minney Mouses, Princesses...

I went for Snow White. She truly was an obsession of my past. And I was fairly certain that no one else was going to go there. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of my full-length costume. Just try and get the gist of it from this:

You can also spend time pointing and laughing at my fake eyelashes. I KNOW, right? Wtf? AND THE EVILS OF SATIN. My skirt is not satin, don't worry. Oh and Ranga? She's Minney Mouse. One of them ;D

Just letting my friends know that they, along with a lack of maths, are making my life great at the moment. Just being... oddly sentimental.

Holidays

Hello Chickens!

Well, I've been rather busy with VCE and all that jazz. However, the first week of my holidays were spent on ye olde GOLDE COAST. With my family. Yes, my holidays start a week early because I go to a private school, where we pay more money to spend less time learning.

It works, trust me.

Anywhother, I bought these EXQUISITE new sunglasses for $10 at Pacific Fair *wooo* And the white dress in the picture? Also $10 *woooo* This is at the Hard Rock Cafe in Surfer's Paradise.

MONORAIL!!!!!

And this is the back of my new Marilyn Manson shirt, ALSO $10 *wooooooo*. Seriously, treat yourself and go shopping there.

Unfortunately, my parents would not let my brother and I go to Dracula's by ourselves. There are also no other pictures of my outfits (and I did way more shopping than just a shirt, dress and sunnies). After discovering that, I looked like this:

Yep, feet and all.

Also, if you were wondering, I started up a Faecesbook account but baleeted it straight after. Gold Coast sun fiddled with my brain cells.

I am also planning to go to Dracula's in Melbourne these holidays... anyone want to join me?

A Formal Occasion

Sorry for not updating in such a long amount of time, it's just that I haven't actually been DOING anything. Because, as we all know, I don't actually have a life. I've been faking it.

However, last Friday happened to be the St Margarets School formal night. After two and a half hours in a salon and a little longer in my bathroom at home, I looked like this:

My partner is my cousin, Bill. He also looks quite dashing.

This is Joan and myself being fabulous.

This is my table. In order from left to right, back then front; Rebekah, Rebecca, Steb, Molly, Jason, Jessica, Billy, Myself, Amy, Joan, Madeleine and Lachlan.

It was a fantastic night of dancing, photos, socialising and good food.

Dress: Ojays
Heels: London Rebel

Stockings: Voodoo

Mask: Lombards

Hair and Nails: It's Individual

Music: Happiness by Arashi

SEUSS!

Yes, the main reason for my blog absence is revealed!

The first pictures of myself from Seussical the Musical have arrived and I am proud to display them on my blog.

This is of Steb and myself as bird girls. Steb, you may remember from my previous post. She dyed and styled my hair. Legend.

Anywho, I also played the psrt of Mayzie La Bird for a few nights, as the original girl cast in the role was struck with pnemonia. She still managed to do the night performances, and she still managed to light up the stage.

But alas, I am still trying to get my hands on some Mayzie photos.

And I probably won't be posting much this term either. It's a bit of a 'AH! SACs and EXAMSSSS' period in time.

Wish me luck!

Black Magic

Yeah, so, I've been meaning to do this since about... year eight?

I like it. It's very dramatic, very chic. And the dye/styling credit goes to the other Miss Stephanie.

Thank you, the other half of Steph Squared. And we did our history homework, in all our obscene pro-ness.

Robbie approves.

A Casual Dinner

Because we're going away over the Easter break, we stepped out for some pre-Easter Mexican food with my older sister and her boyfriend.

I know that if Joan sees this, she'll say this... so I'm going to beat her to the punch.

I look weirdly Asian. I'm actually quite freaked out.

And my family picked on my collar all night. My response was, 'WELL THEY WILL BE IN VOGUE SOON, AND THEN YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!'

Speaking of Vogue...

...yay!

I've Been Busy

Yes. Well. I used the long weekend to catch up on homework, as well as start/finish some sewing projects and make an appearance at Moomba.

After walking around Moomba for a while, Joan took my little (ha!) brother and I to Chinatown, where I bought some lovely things.

A red jacket for $10, a red parasol for $13 and I forgot the price of the hairclip.

Then I was back home, surfing teh internets (as you do) and I saw a little e-shop that sold collars. I looked at my laptop screen. Then I looked at my (brand-new, pink, Janome, 16th birthday-present) sewing machine. Then I looked back at my laptop screen. Then I went, '...Yeah!'

And this is what happened next. Pretty things made out of scraps. Just to make up for not finishing any if the three big projects I have on the go.

I Did It For Teh Lulz

Jess had her 16th Birthday party. I don't get one because I failed maths. So I can't show you my other new LBD.

Scaring the rangas, my new favourite pastime.

The only Asian person in our group was taking our Asian photo.

I love my LGD.

Let's See Some Shoe Lust!

Okay, been internetting just after baking up a Valentine suprise for my beautiful friends at school tomorrow.

Here are my top 3 favourite Manolos.

1. Aguzza. Dressy enough to wear out or brighten up a LBD, refined enough to wear to le office. Absolutely gorgeous.

2. Pimpi. A beautiful, elegant yet intriguing piece that I would wear with pride.

3. Lustro. A pretty and stylish low heel for some epic shopping trips.

... And what girl hasn't dreamed of a pair of vintage Chanel two-toned heels?

The only problem is that there is no way that I can afford any of these. Damn school, getting in the way of me earning a decent wage.

Damn you, school.

EPIC PHOTO ALTERING :O

I did it so that you could see the glasses in all their glory. It also has the benefit of hiding my acne.

Yeah, my lawn has to be one of the few real ones left in Melbourne that is still green. Recycled water works wonders.

Having a pool party for the 43 degree scorcher tomorrow. Fun fun fun.

Oh, right. I dug these glasses out of my wardrobe a few days ago. Yay for pink, cats-eye sunglasses. I'm not a pink person, but these are so wacky that I can't resist wearing them around school everyday.

Happy Treasure Hunting!

Sex in a Bottle

This is my sex in a bottle. I love it.

Actually, I love anything that's Benefit. It's expensive, but absolutely gorgeous.

Happy Birthday Maddie and Jess. I love youse.

Heatwave.

There has been a heatwave in Melbourne. Three days of 42+ temperatures. I wore this dress from 'Walk-in Wardrobe'.

And these shoes from the DFO.

I stayed home to keep my ancient dog and my kitten alive through the heat. As you can see, my kitten, Shadow, wasn't really fussed about the whole thing.

I was. The heat fried my modem, and it's taken me DAYS to fix it. And I have an itchy heat rash on the back of my head.

40+ sucks.

Outings

Nearing the end of last year, my parents, siblings, grandparents and I went to Healesville Sanctuary for an outing. It was a very enjoyable day, especially the Birds of Prey show. When they brought out the massive Wedge-Tailed Eagle, another wild eagle came around and started swooping the trained one, because it was in it's territory.

To be able to see such a large and magnificant bird up close is a treasure.

This is my brother and I. He always looks so great in photos. Did you catch the sarcasm?

Oh, and I went bargain hunting yesterday. Hopefully there should be photos of my new dresses up soon, if I can actually find the camera.

A Fashionable Re-Cap of the End of Year Ten

First up, we've got the my Monash Uni Berwick conferences. On my arm is the ever-fashionable Maddy. We had to dress to impress for our mock interviews. I think we managed to fool them into thinking that we were respectable ;D

Next, school swimming. Obviously, we didn't actually go INTO the water... but we were patriotic in our yellow Gipson Grease theme. Well, I was, Maddie just looked fabulous in my sunsuit. And the hat is just a costume. It's the part of my costume I DON'T wear out in public.

And finally, the school Carols. I've shoved my bleach-stained dress under my old black choir skirt, once again.

I look like I'm about to consume Maddie XD

I don't think the school events unfolded in this order, but it doesn't really matter.

It just shows how versatile the long black skirt/belt combo is. And it's fantastic for Melbourne's in-between weather.

Music: Everything's Just Wonderful - Lily Allen

Because Mornings Aren't Demented Enough

I woke up one morning to Dope Hat by Marilyn Manson. Bless him. It set me up for a bit of a goth day.




This is the result.





Shoes - Savers

Corset - Made by me

Other garments - Uh, I forget.

I had the play performance on this day. It's a lot of fun. I'm playing Tweedledum. LOL.

My Business is Your Business

My business IS your business. Seriously. I work with debt. People hate me. Get over it.

One thing I don't like about working is that I eat and don't exercise as much. It's pretty much the opposite of what I try to do over the holidays.

Dress: Femme Connection

Shoes: Chapel Street Bazar

Music: Out of Control - She Wants Revenge

Back To Square One

Here are the photos I took before I started this blog:

I don't really look happy in any of these photos because I was significantly nervous and trying to get to grips with our new camera.

Listening to: Tear You Apart - She Wants Revenge

Personal Jesus - Marilyn Manson

Y'know, I really hate Hilary Duff for stealing the tune for Personal Jesus and changing the line, 'Reach out and touch faith' to 'Reach out and touch me'.

Not to mention the appalling skankyness of the video clip.

Here's what I did for New Years. It was at my place, with Leo, Jess and my brother, Robbie. We went up to the dam to have a clear, 360 degree view of all the fireworks going off on the surrounding farms. A lot of good fun. And because we're only 15-16, we are actually drinking Lemon Ale, not beer. We're not pathetically trashy like that.
