Men..

There’s the man who’ll seem right for you, but isn’t right for you. There’s the man who’ll seem wrong for you, but you’ll think is right for you. There’s the man who’ll treat you good, who you’ll treat bad, and there’s the man who’ll treat you bad that you’ll treat good. There’s the Mr. Okay’s and the Mr. Definatley Not’s. There’s the Mr. You Should Be Like My Mum’s, and the Mr. Needy’s. And then, one day, there’ll be the Mr. Hel-lo Cutie, You’ll Do Me Just Fine Thankyou.

Six months of firsts...






Hey guys!

So today I've done something different. This is an assignment I did for Summer School on a major event in my life. It's lighthearted and will hopefully make you want to travel and leave you feeling good!

Ciao! X

Battle of the Sexes: Using the Men's

It’s 1am, you’re drunk and your bladder is too. She’s screaming for release and you feel as if you really might explode.
You look down the line you’ve been waiting in for what feels like forever. It’s packed. Women are dancing around ahead of you, holding their na-na’s and chatting away. The three stalls you’re all waiting for are stubbornly ‘occupied’.
This is a bad situation.
You look over at the lone guy walking out of the men’s stall – behind him there’s no line. You peek in without moving from your spot. No-one’s there.
But is it ever okay for women to use the men’s bathroom?
The answer to this is usually probably not, but I’ve thought of some scenarios that make it okay (sort of) to do it like a dude (not literally):
1.       You are absolutely, 100% positive that if you do not go right now you will pee. Everywhere.
2.       No-one is in the men’s bathroom, and it’s going to stay that way.
3.       The women’s is out of order (DRAMA).
4.       You own the bathroom.
But other than that, sadly, it’s not okay. You’re going to have to hold your kooka until that toilet is ‘vacant’.
You could risk it, but you’ll probably get booted out (take it from someone who knows), or maybe just maybe you could not drink as much. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yeah, right.

2012: The year the world didn't end

As most doomsdayers, movie buffs and anyone alive, really, knows: 2012 is the year the world will end.

Right?

Wrong.

NASA have released information telling us to stop buying cans of beans, and to stop preparing for the worst because the world is not going to end.

Shock.

Anyway, to celebrate the year the world (nearly/could’ve/almost) ended – here’s a look back at 2012:

Newly divorced Kim K paired up with Kanye (again, shocker) and they became tinsletown’s Kimye

Angelina Jolie’s right leg became the talk of the Oscars. 

Sophia-Grace and Rosie invaded our lives thanks to Ellen D. 
Elmo’s handler got accused of kiddy-fiddling (another shocker). 

Sh*t People Say vids went viral.

Gangnam Style took over and stopped everybody shuffling. 

Lara Bingle tried to get people to see her as more than an air-head (not so sure that worked, love).  

The Shire was supposed to be Aus’ answer to Jersey Shore (it wasn’t). 

Instagram made everyone a ‘photographer’. 

Online shopping became the norm. 

One Direction almost overtook the Biebs (or did they manage it?).
Fifty Shades of Grey spiced up dull relationships of forty-somethings. 

The Olympics was on (but seriously, who watched it). 

Big Brother promised a huge comeback, it failed. 

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds surprised everyone with their dash to the alter. 

Prince Harry got nude in Vegas. 

T Cruise and K Holmes divorced – but no one except Suri cared. 
 
Seal split with glamazon Heidi – who stepped out with her new BF soon after. 

Obama proved that once you go black you never go back.

Ed Sheeran emerged as everyones favourite ranga.

R Patz and K Stew split after Stewie’s affair with a married man, the pair reconciled just before the release of the final Twilight. Handy. 

Hannah Montana, sorry – Miley Cyrus, not only went on an image overhaul (hello, no hair!) but BF Liam popped the question. 

Snooki had a baby – as did Hilary Duff, Kristin Cavallari and Kourtney Kardashian. 

Jersey Shore graced our screens for the final time. 

North America faced one horrible natural disaster and, lastly, Whitney Housten died.

And there you have it!

Note: The word ‘shock/er’ is used as sarcasm.

Shock.

Dare to Dream

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”
― Edgar Allan Poe 


How many of you have ever woken up from a completely f*cked up dream?

All of you? Okay read on...

After waking up today from a dream that was one of the weirdest I’ve ever experienced, it got me thinking:

Why do we dream in the way we do, and why are we (well, some of us – read: MEEEEE) so messed up?

  
Apparently, when you dream you become the complete opposite of who you actually are. For example if you’re normally a very numbers-oriented, logical person then your dreams will be very out there and creative and vice versa.

Also, if you have particularly violent dreams and are prone to act them out (kicking, screaming, yelling) it can be a warning sign of a brain disorder later on (scary, huh).

Women tend to dream about being chased, losing a loved one or being absolutely confused.

What do men dream about (predominantly)?

Sex.

Within 5 mins of waking up 50% of your dream is forgotten and within 10 mins 100% is gone. The way to skip this? As soon as you wake up think about something else (ie. what to have for brekky) and I promise you'll remember your dream.

Only 12% of people dream in full colour.

And, mind boggling enough: you actually can control your dreams (hello Inception) – and video gamers (those used to controlling their worlds) are the best at this.

Valentino's Vise Vords

“Fashion should not ridicule women” 

 - Valentino Garavani

Well-known luxurious italian designer Valentino Garavani has told UK Marie Claire’s Dec 2012 issue that he hates how the fashion industry treats women.
 
Interesting.

He told the interviewer:

"There is a time to show the legs and to show the cleavage, but it's about the cut. Clothes should not ridicule a woman; should not make them a fashion victim. What happens too much in fashion today is that designers design for themselves. I always designed for women."

He went on to slam some of his fellow designers (read: competitors), saying that they make women look like fools.

"Fashion has become so mass market, with copies [of designer items] in every department store - maybe that's why there is an interest in something that is unique and difficult to get. When I started, couture was only for women of a certain age or who had money but, now, all the Hollywood actresses want is couture, couture, couture."

His collection of lines include Valentino, Valentino Roman and R.E.D Valentino.
