richard nicoll for topshop bustier, beyondblackdreams dress, prada knockoff creepers, fleamadonna lather jacket

Huge thanks to Fion of BEYONDBLACKDREAMS for my new super silky, asymmetrical sheer shirt dress! Fion's understated designs are unique and truly wardrobe staples. It will definitely be my go-to top/dress for upcoming prowl fests for internships.

Decision time!

White?
BLACK?
In-Between?

Super 8

I tried hard to not make it look like I need to pee, instead frantic manic. I like photo booth effects despite its short comings but you can picture it sufficiently in your head...right?

But excitement as I was sent a few pairs of House of Holland tights (big fan) from Lingerieplease! Choice chain (pimped out glittery gold) suspender tights and bandana tights, perfect timing as I have minimal shifts at work and about to get back into uni.

Make me happy tell me I look like I'm dancing, not busting and check out new Memory Tapes.

You know what's awesome? Re-usable writing surfaces. Blackboards you can't scratch your nails down. Recite a bit of Shakespeare off these bad boys...

Frost That

CAKE makes me sooo happy (you have no idea), the look of them, making it and eating it, it just takes all my worries away! Could I get any cheesier? The home made ones that hint a bit of a fail, truly tug at my heart strings. There's nothing with more personality! They say a lot...

Soft Skull

Laced with white, about to play some sport?! From bi colour methods to pentagram lacing, go here if you have too much time on your hands...let me know how you go because I give up too easily.

White or Black?

Meat and Pet

Most people approach rabbits as if they were stuffed animals: cute, but not capable of much except, maybe, eating carrots and twitching their noses.

Fright Night

Ladies and gentlemen...rainbow layer cake with lemon and coconut butter icing! Made over 4 HOURS out of pure happiness. We didn't make enough icing, that's why it's pretty ugly looking so we settled for poorly scattered sprinkles and love hearts to make it even uglier.

Use a simple butter cake recipe for each layer of cake you're going to make, mixing in any sort of food colouring you want, teamed with any lemon and coconut icing recipe (sub cream cheese with some egg whites and a tiny bit of milk if you don't want it to be too rich) and you're ready to roll!

Let me know if you give this a go/any cool fun baking adventures you've recently had.

OFFENDID

During the deadly OC sales, I willingly gave into temptation! But it's always a joy receiving the package; makes you feel like you were really there, everything's wrapped up, in an OC bag and all.

But on another note, some readers were offended by this UNIF shirt I recently posted about. It's not a swastika and I am in no way a facist, neo-nazi or intolerant of other races, ethnicity, cultures, beliefs (if you know me at all). Within its context, it's a parody and I agree it can pack in a bit of punch for some, especially obscured by a jacket.

Led me to think about the adoption of symbols by entities and the resulting meaning or stigma associated:

Take the swastika; it dates back to ancient India as well as ancient Greece and Rome. Before the persecution of millions under this emblem, it was used to bring good luck or ward off evil. Despite reprenting violence, evil and death to Western cultures, the swastika is still widely used in Eastern religions such as Hindusim (symbolizing the path in heaven of the sun god) and Buddhism (meaning eternity).

Let's not forget the pop pop peace sign, or rather, Nero's cross or the Teutonic rune of death. Nero (5th roman emperor), who despised Christians, crucified the Apostle Peter on a cross head downward. Nero believed that there would be world peace without Christianity and thousands of Christians were martyred under the rule of Nero. Hence, considered an anti-christian sign and later associated with satanism, it was also claimed to have communist and Nazi connotations. In Rudolf Koch's Book of Signs it explains the downward pointed fork represents the death of man and placed in the circle the symbol means the total death of all people. Apparently, the hand signal began as a symbol of Satanic benediction during rituals, um, so, be right back...

So a lot people imply meaning without understanding its history, and that's where the intention of harmless parody comes into effect, for me, (also because of UNIF's use of aged, soft cotton). All in all, that's only my own opinion but if I have offended or upset you, I hope this clears the air a tad.

Dilirium Tremens

Shades of deep pink, such as magenta, are effective in neutralizing disorder and violence. Some prisons use limited deep pink tones to diffuse aggressive behaviour.

Most Cake

Greatest recipe tried and true, this is the chocolate mud cake with choc/coffee butter cream icing (hand whipped)I made...click here for the recipe. I pretty much drank the leftover icing, it was so amazing.

What's your favorite/ go to recipe?

Enter the Void (2009)

After death, Alex watches over his sister, does he come back? Slow, thrilling and intense all at once + epileptic warning! I'm in love with the way it was done, every frame was absolutely beautiful; seeing things from his blinking eyes while he was tripping, then hovering over the aftermath, the pulsing lights and being apart of his mind.

P.S. You've got to be pretty patient and sober to enjoy this one if you haven't seen it.
