Today’s photoshoot would be me swaying violently from side to side and headbanging my ponytail, whipping the walls and Ellen going all beserk with the camera screaming WOMAN STOP MOVING!! I think those two cans illustrate our emotions rather perfectly. Did you know, mid-headbanging, one can look like The Hulk?

I’ve come to a point of exhaustion where I got all confused with a spam email titled ‘Last night was fun, thanks’. I spent about half a minute too long thinking who the heck was I with last night? and I’m not even like that.

Meh anyway. Have yourself a merry little weekend, let your heart be liiight.

(edit: Yes, I realise the second photo looks like I need to pee, and the first looks like I’m yawning. What do you do first when you wake up? you peee, so it’s only logical)

The shoes finally arrived! Someone rang the doorbell in the middle of the night, or so it felt like at 9am, and if it weren’t for the lovely shoes I may have locked the dude in the gas & electricity meter cupboard. NO ONE messes with the sleeping beast. (For those just tuning in, I bought these two from Gmarket, a Korean webmarket – here’s the post with guidelines for how to get around that crazy place) (For those just tuning in, also, I do not like waking up at double digit AM hours. Just because I go to sleep at single digit AM hours)

I must say, one of my biggest pet peeves is when shoe makers other than C.Louboutin paint their soles red. Not only are red soles Christian Louboutin’s artistic signature, but today they’ve come to represent women of certain financial status, occupation or style. It doesn’t bother me greatly that high street retailers ‘replicate’ trend designs to make them more affordable, but it does bother me when they replicate a signature, a supposedly timeless factor for any designer.

So… for those who skipped the above paragraph for any reason including illiteracy, I sharpied my sole black because the pretentious red annoyed me greatly.

As for the quality of the shoes I wore today, meh – 3 out of 5 maybe – the heels are wobbly, like most Asian-made heels (remember that the next time you’re buying). I guess I got what I paid for, but the design is satisfying so I guess I will have to grant them entry into the shoedrawer without a visa.

Just because I was convinced that the colour was draining out of my life spending all day in a bat-ridden cave I decided to take Ellen’s invitation and crawled out today (AH SUNLIGHT, IT BURRRNS!!). I believe the best thing that brings the colours back to your life is dodging sales assistants in John Lewis while taking covert pictures of, you won’t believe it, fabric. I don’t get why it’s not allowed – what, am I going to use the photos to replicate the art of sorting zippers and ribbons? Or do I look like I don’t have enough of a life to plan a terrorist attack on a floor full of rich housewives? Actually the last bit is quite intriguing. BOOM go the annoying Chihuahuas.

I’m just JOKING for those with any allegiance to John Lewis, rich housewives and the art of ribbon sorting. I would also gladly take the photos down if you wish, just email no@not-really.com, and mind your manners please.

With all that said, I love John Lewis, rich housewives and sorting ribbons!

My first Gmarket box arrived containing 2 black bags, the beige suede jacket, white sheet dress and hey, a blue beanie as a bonus! (which, by the way, doesn’t fit my head, it does fit my fist though.)

The bags are faux-leather so I fully anticipated it to look cheap, but once you carry it a bit, the way it slouches in the right places it really doesn’t look all that bad. Then again I’m very easily pleased – I get happy when I meet a fox in the courtyard, so I may be the wrong person to be writing this review. The suede bolero/jacket thing was a bit of a disappointment though – since it’s single-sheeted, it’s got no lining fabric, so you could see the mediocre stitching. Still, it’s got a very healthy looking sheen to it and the fabric is über light for summer. Gmarket items seem to be quite similar in price and quality to H&M, so that could be a quality reference for those who were wondering. What you pay is what you get, isn’t it in most cases?

Now please excuse me, I must go restock on some sleep as my life is slipping through my fingers and running away with the milkman. Sorry for the dead-ness of late.

You know, I tried answering some Q&A questions these few days but I just can’t get around doing them, sorry Angry Frequent Visitor, I don’t have the time and energy right this moment. I have 2 major projects running side by side (occasionally one knocking the other over, snickering as it overtakes) and designwork from the Netherlands. This is my fourth night up and seriously I’m running on a bagfull of E000 chemicals and turkish delights of questionable source. I’ve got fat baubles hanging on my face like some christmas tree, and looks to me that I’m growing a second pair of butts just sitting at the laptop for hours on end.

So that’s one answered question at least – Why won’t I post the rest of the Q&A? – Because life says hey bumhead, PRIORITIZE.

On another note, thank you Sara from Public Personae for asking me ‘what I’m into right now’!
