Katrina left last night for an all-expense paid trip to Paris! She's been sent to cover the next John Galliano runway event, and she'll be gone for a month - 2 weeks for work, 2 weeks for fun. I called her a scrag during most of our drive to the airport (c'mon she's going on a trip without me), but she laughed it off heartlessly "Stop whinging mate, you can come aswell, but you have to look after my apartment, so suck shit haha" - Scrag.
But positive thinking people, this will be a month of freedom....4 weeks of peace and serenity, I can already feel the tranquility - no dramas, no tears. It'll also be a good chance to spend some time with the boys and girls, I've missed out on my fair share of social gatherings, bar-room chats and footy matches already. Attending to instead "art exhibition openings", "Soho galleries" and "Wednesday night bookclub"...When did I get neutered?
Anyway, John Galliano events are honestly pretty freaky - but I'd recommend it only because it is always a spectacle and you can never predict what he has instored for the season. And more importantly, its because he looks like a Pirate!
I'm sure some people can admire his style and grace, eventhough it is weird and highly obscure. (No wonder Kat wanted to go so badly...she's both of those things..scrag)
I for one, can't quite put my finger on it...
John Galliano 2007 Winter/Fall Ready to Wear Collection
That's "ready to wear" folks. I've always wondered if Models ever 'question' what they wear on the runway...can he even see through that thing? But it does look rather comfortable (oh there's a ninja in the background!). I have worries that I might adopt a similar fashion style during Katrina's absence. Not so much the head-bag...more the primal, free-balling factor! Might just wear a brown bathrobe and go full 'caveman'!
Vampire fans, Gothic lolita fans, Phantom of the Opera fans....(check out the bear with the snazzy tophat - coolness factor 8/10! haha he's just chillin')
Living dolls...that's always been a fantasy for some. I was actually watching a korean horror movie the other night called "The Doll Master". Not a bad one, worth a watch (don't judge the movie by that dodgey trailer though). Ah, turns out Hollywood is churning out an English version of it...(yet another one...sigh). Honestly, I reckon they screwed up "The Ring" and "The Grudge" etc pretty badly...they're not even CLOSE to the Japanese version!
If those freaky events ever happened to you, what would you do? I'd probably just pass the phone to someone else haha Pretend I don't speak english or just reply in chinese! When my mother receives calls from telemarketers - she doesn't give them a chance! The moment she realises its a telemarketer she'll put on a thick accent and say "no english!" and slam the phone down or she'll start a conversation with them in chinese and pretend its a relative who's called from overseas! Its brilliant, Go mum! (She's very fluent in english btw, been in the USA for 20 years, and another 20 in Australia) - my mother, top shelf prankster!
Doesn't it look like that scene in The Labyrinth? (I think only you'd know it Juhana haha), actually looks more like an insane renaissance orgy of sorts - beautiful thing!
Reminds me of Madame Tussaud's Haunted House (Wax Museum) in New York. This last picture is pretty damn cool - like a scene from Eyes Wide Shut (without Tom Cruise). The one wearing a pink frock with a white mask is, damn freaky...can you imagine her just APPEARING next to your bed one night?
Anyway, Kat's gone for a month - what on earth am I going to do? Its like reversing back to the single life (aka released from jail haha). But at least I don't have to mingle with her friends or her friend's boyfriends, bloody oath its bad! Its like getting thrown into a grown-man playdate - Don't do that to your husbands or boyfriends please, its torture! You don't even know the guy and you're suppoused to get along - "Did you hear that Aiden? Johnny really likes football too!"...*shakes head* scrag!
(don't think I can shake off the nerd tag now!)
