International “No Diet” Day
May 2nd, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
So it turns out that this coming Sunday is “International No Diet Day”. International No Diet Day was created by Mary Evans Young in 1992. After personally experiencing anorexia, she worked to help people appreciate themselves for what they are, and to appreciate the body they have.
I’m testing out some baking that one of my friends is attempting so I will be taking full advantage of INDD!
The goals of INDD are:
- Doubt the idea of one “right” body shape.
- Raise awareness to weight discrimintation, and size bias.
- Declare a free day from diets and obsessions to body weight.S
- Honor the victims of eating disorders.
Not everyone is built the same, so the ideal is that you are healthy, active and enjoying life, rather than becoming a slave to diet fads and a target for Diet Propoganda.
Thoughts?

Everyone knows that a key part of Miss Universe is her physical beauty. But we forget that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. A woman who exudes personality and confidence is far more stunning than one who is simply tall.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
LIBERAL HYPOCRISY (Part XI)
May 1st, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
“When life gives you lemons, add Tequila and salt.”
1. Don’t compliment someone unless you mean it.
2. Other people are entitled to their opinion just as much as you are- Don’t think any less of them for it.
3. A cup of tea can fix a lot of problems.
4. Don’t cross the road at night at a non designated crossing wearing all black. Ok!
5. Don’t put off going to the doctor if you are genuinely sick. Please ignore this point if you are a hypochondriac.
6. On a similar vein, if you are horribly sick with a cough, cold, or something of the like, then please don’t go to work and spread it around the office! You will not be popular if you spread your infection all over your co-workers.
7. Cyclists most likely hate you taking up their road as much as you hate them. Share, people!
8. Sleep cures most of the other things that a cup of tea can’t.
9. Tidying your room will make you feel a lot better about the state of your life.
10. People have asked me my ultimate goal in life. My ultimate goal is simply to be happy. Find what makes you happy, and do it. Find out what doesn’t make you happy and change it.
11. Be nice to people, it’s not that hard, and it makes the day so much more pleasant. Everyone has bad days- maybe you’ll be nice to someone on their bad day and it will be their highlight.
12. Be thankful that you were born healthy and with all of your fingers and toes. A lot of people aren’t even born with that privilege. This poor little boy will be able to tell you all about that: http://www.emirates247.com/news/6-legged-baby-doing-well-after-major-surgery-2012-04-26-1.455421
13. READ MORE BOOKS
Happy song this week -
“Shock the Monkey” by Peter Gabriel.
I just can’t seem to get away from the 80′s. I wish we made strange yet somehow meaningful videos these days. Maybe we do and I’m not looking in the right places.
Anyways, The idea of this video is; inside every well dressed business-man is a bald, white faced monkey-man waiting to get out. Interesting concept haha. I love the creepy Pixar-esque lights, and the Extreme monkey close ups.
Thanks Santa!

Remember here where I was talking about how much I covet a certain pair of spiky heels? Well the Santa gods (Acutally my grandparents) smiled upon me and contributed towards my aim of having them adorn my tootsies. AND I GOT THEM TODAY! HAPPY HAPPY DAYS!!!!
The end.
Just like the real thing!

Everyone has times in their life when it is simply not feasible to fork out the big bucks on superfluous pretty things for our wardrobes. My rule of items you might like to purchase is thus: If you aren’t thinking about it daily, dreaming about it and constantly checking the site to make sure that it is still in stock in case one day you will purchase it, then maybe it’s not worth spending a week and a half’s worth of pay on.
Which is where chain store fashion lends a helping hand. Welcome to the first of “Just like the real thing!”
So you didn’t get a pair of the Alexander Wang Anais loafers for whatever reason, (I didn’t either so don’t worry I don’t need to hear your excuse) never fear because fast fashion is here to save the day. The Anais heels been seen everywhere this season adorning the feet of the upper echelons of fashion society, which has led to a number of chain stores releasing their own versions quick smart. Whether you are into the silver colouring, the tassles, or both- there is a shoe for you inspired by the Anais’. Check them out after the jump.

Pirelli 2012 Calendar
December 6th, 2011 § 3 comments § permalink
For years Pirelli has been synonymous with two things. Making damn good tyres, and nude supermodels.
The Pirelli calendar for 2012 has just been released, featuring some of the world’s most famous models, such as Kate Moss, Lara Stone, Mila Jovovich, Margareth Made and Isabeli Fontana. Nude.
Shot in Corscia by Mario Sorrenti, the aim of the 2012 calendar was to emphasise the female form and its natural beauty. What I find amazing is that having a place in this calendar is so covetable, the models are lining up to take their kit off. Are we complaining? No way.
Although the limited edition calendar is only available to Pirelli’s most VIP of customers, we are still able to have a squiz at the pics in all their glory. So check em out.
WARNING: Nudity. But I already told you that. Didn’t you read what I just wrote??
Liberal Hypocrisy (Part 10)

Woop! Look at us here at number 10 already! And you’re still reading with some tiny form of interest aren’t you? Shucks, I’m flattered. Now, down to business:
1. Practice makes perfect. At it’s worst, practice makes you mediocre instead of dreadful, which in some cases isn’t actually that bad!
2. Don’t love someone so much that you compromise your well being or your sense of self.
3. When buying online: If clothes make the model look frumpy, you aren’t going to have a snowball’s chance in h*ll of making it look better.
4. Be proud of your achievements, but don’t be a show off.
5. Go shopping by yourself occasionally. I prefer to do it this way to be honest, because I’m easily peer pressured by my friends into buying stuff that I will ultimately feel uncomfortable in and only wear once.
6. There is nothing wrong with rocking out to music that your friends would disapprove of when you’re alone in your car.
7. Never sleep with anyone you don’t feel comfortable seeing you without makeup the morning. I’ve heard some interesting stories about girls getting up in the morning before their friends/ boyfriend just to put makeup on before they are seen without it. That’s either one hell of an insecurity, or your subconscious is telling you that the person you are with is terribly superficial.
8. If you’re feeling down, go for a walk. You can clear your head and get some endorphins going at the same time, and you will feel a heck of a lot better.
9.Ebay is like a black hole that sucks you in and makes you spend all of your money. I suggest only browsing Ebay when you have something specific in mind.
10. It’s totally ok to eat a whole Pavlova on Christmas day and spend half the afternoon in a food coma.
11. Invest in a good sports bra. I wore a bad one to training the other night and all I could think about was how my tata’s were going to be meeting my bellybutton in a few years if I didn’t upgrade IMMEDIATELY!
12. People that use ‘Z’s instead of ‘S’s in company names are a good laugh. Same goes for ‘K’s’ instead of ‘C’s’.
13. Take photos and print them out. Imagine if you had all of your photos stored on your computer and it kicked the bucket? That would suck!!
14. The rumor mill can be quite unforgiving, so check your facts before you go passing judgments and accusations!
15. 4 Weeks ’till Christmas. You freaking out yet?
Happy Song of the week:
“I Ran” by Flock of Seagulls. Some interesting ‘Do’s going on in there!
