Vokab-ul-lairy

I've been saving this up for a rainy day, and while it isn't raining it is a boooooooring Monday.

So, as for this subject image... the biggest celebrity gossip news this month, Arnie and his scandalous cheating ways (I mean, the house keeper? so delightfully cliche!). Though, that isn't actually what I've brought you here to discuss, the reason for our chat - the Herald Sun's unimaginative headline of "The Cheatinator". My overseas spy's tell me that the herald Sun equivalent in London titled their story "The Fornicator", HS why didn't you think of this one? "Fornicator" is actually a word, surely that would be preferable to "The Cheatenator". Honestly... in an age where MS Office has built-in thesaurous what kind of excuse can there be?!

Flipping FANTASTIC!

The latest blog on my reading list  is www.manrepeller.com created by the hilarious man repelling  Leandra Medine of NYC. Basically this is a fashion blog about garments and styles that girls love and guys hate, for example puffy shirts. 


Such a simple concept for a blog and every entry is such a delight to read. I am so happy the lovely Garance Dore (cos she's my friend now... yep...) led me to this blog. Also I've got a crooked-up neck so I'm balancing my head on pillows and compy on right angles trying to occupy myself by scouting new blogs while I'm up to my fringe in painkilling numbness. 


And... as a fellow man repeller, you don't have to know me well to be aware of some of my favourite items of cloth such as... my massive amounts of velvet items, my indian looking slipper shoes (officially called Minnetonka's), baggy shirts and loosy goosey dresses.


So go read and be good xx

Makin' house

One of my most treasured thrift store finds, Laura Ashley home decorating book from the late 80's. The decor is so reminiscent of Adam and Barbara Maitland of Beetlejuice, you know, before they died and the Deetz's move in and make the house all trendy 80's (AKA - electric colours and geometric shapes). 

The whole aesthetic of this period in home decorating was so frilly, fru-fru, patchwork-y. Like Little House on The Prairie but amped up to feedback level. Looking at the images in this book I can just smell the pot-pouree.
