<img height="195" id="il_fi" src="http://www.creativereview.co.uk/images/uploads/2011/04/redlogo_jpg500x400_0.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="320" /> </div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Nope I'm not talking about Christmas decorations or the stress while
trying to find a car park when Christmas shopping. I'm talking about (RED) and the amazing work that is being done in Africa; as well as December 1st being international AIDS day. I first discovered this movement about 5 years ago, however I have been a long supporter of International AIDS day for many years. The great thing about <a href="http://www.joinred.com/worldaidsday/" target="_blank">(RED)</a> is the product(red) part of this movement. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Its pretty simple. Many companies have created special red products (like red ipods from apple) and the profits from these sales go to the global fund to help others. The products range from shoes to technology, music and coffee. In my opinion all of these products are things most of my peers and I would purchase anyway so why not pick the specific products that can help others. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here is just a little bit of info from the <a href="http://www.joinred.com/worldaidsday/" target="_blank">join(red)</a> website about what its all about. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Every Generation is known for something.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let's be the one that delivers an AIDS Free Generation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We all have tremendous power. What we choose to do or even buy, can affect someone’s life on the other side of the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In 2010, 1,000 babies were born every day with HIV.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In 2011, that number was down to 900. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">By 2015 it can be near zero. We can stop the transmission of HIV from moms to their babies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In the fight to eliminate AIDS, 2015 could be the beginning of the end – it’s the year we can deliver an AIDS Free Generation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">(RED) can’t accomplish this alone. It will take all of us to get there –</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">governments, health organizations, companies, and you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When you DO THE (RED) THING, a (RED) partner will give up some of its profits to fight AIDS.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It’s as simple as that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">BE (RED). Start the end of AIDS now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So if this sounds interesting please jump on the site and see what little changes you can make in your purchasing to get the things you were already going to buy and support others. </span></div>

We've had VHS, DVD, laserdics, bluray ok so the list goes on; and now we have the web. Apart from the ability to stream TV the coolest thing is that many artists who aren't getting cast on the big TV networks are getting a chance to make a name for themselves via the net. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As many of you know I'm a big fan of The Guild (which I first saw on Xbox live) which has lead me to the Geek and Sundry channel. This then lead me to more work of Amy Okuda. Many of you may know her as Tink from The Guild, but I have just watched her as Sam on BFF. BFF is a black comedy about four highschool girls who; well lets just say want to rid the world of suck by any means. This show was brought to us by the Youtube channel YOMYOMF - you offend me you offend my family. So I thought I'd show you their promo vid. It still makes me smile to see the blending of 'main stream' actors with the indie webseries crowd. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So have a watch and see what else the web has to offer, you never know you may just be able to see the next big star. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Happy watching </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I do love a new sci-fi series but I admit having been an avid watcher for so many years it does take something a bit different to grab my attention. To be honest I'm not sure how hooked I am on this new series but I'm willing to give it a chance. The show I'm talking about is the new NBC series called Revolution </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="260" id="il_fi" src="http://manga.jadedragononline.com/fangirl/files/2012/09/revolution-tv.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="500" /> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So what's the idea I here you asking well I think the team at NBC publicity describe it best .....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if
it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the
world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the
sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without
any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is
back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution:
families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down
lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On
the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young
woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and
kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had
something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and
two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find
answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm only about 5 or so episodes in and so far its not bad. It sort of feels like its the bridging story to so many of the future post apocalyptic series I've watched. It is worth the watch and does get you thinking. So give it a chance and see what you think.</span><i><br /></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Its that time of year again when women all around Australia start to notice that the men have stopped shaving and are sporting some crazy facial hair. Yep that's right its <a href="http://au.movember.com/" target="_blank">Movember</a>. Unsure what this is? Well guys start Movember 1st with a
clean-shaven face and then for the rest of the month, these selfless and
generous men known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the
annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo
Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for
their Mo growing efforts. So </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">30 days
of November and through their actions these great guys become walking, talking billboards for the and words raise awareness by
prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue
of men’s health.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We may be nearing the end of the month and soon the boys will be shaving off their mo's (much to the relief of some of us gals) but you still have time to show your support. Needless to say I can't grow one but I have my own way of showing my support. In fact for the month of Movember I'll be wearing my moustache earrings and watch. So If you see a place to donate your loose change for Movember please do because you never know which male in your family could be helped in the future by your support. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Normally when I talk about fashion icons they are ladies with similar hair color and features as myself. However today I just has to put this up coz I adore Miss Piggy and love her take on fashion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There is just something about her sense of style that seems to always be up to date. Plus no matter her age Miss Piggy is always dressed to impressed but never over the top ala Lady Gaga. And of course which other lady can pull off satin evening gloves and chunky rings with 99% of her looks. So basically you gotta hand it to Ms Piggy as a fashion icon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So sit back and have a giggle and his great clip. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I can't believe its only something crazy like 36 days till Christmas!!!! So instead of freaking out about decorating, present buying and all that jazz I've decided to go looking for inspiration. Last year's theme was Vintage but this year I'm thinking of going cute geek girl. So first port of call is Disney for inspiration, and I stumbled on the clip for the launch of Disney and Barney's collaboration for their New York Electric Holiday. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So this got me to
thinking what would a cute geek girl Christmas look like; and yes you
will see more geek inspiration in days to come, but for now its all
Disney. Thankfully even though I'm not near the magical kingdom I can still get my hands on cute Disney things. Plus I may it may include a couple of hello kitty things for a bit of extra cuteness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm currently thinking lots of sparkle, lights and mickey inspired decorations plus a lot of the Disney Princess' for that extra special touch. Watch out christmas stores here comes Tiki. </span></div>

<img height="349" id="il_fi" src="http://nfs.stvfiles.com/imagebase/0/623x349/188-something-new-from-ali-mcgregor.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="623" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While going through my playlist the other day I came across an amazing lady I thought I should share with you again. You may know but if you don't its the wonderfully talented Ali McGregor. I first discovered Ali many years ago by pure accident at the Melbourne Comedy festival and only a bit of research that I discovered that I had actually seen her perform with Opera Australia. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I adore the fact that Ali sees so much beauty in the music she works with, but most of all I adore the way she can rework a song. After attending her Late Night Variety Act during the comedy festivals I have never been able to listen so certain songs the same way again. For instance Kylie Minogue's song "can't get you out of my head" will now always seem like a song for a stalker thanks to Ali's great reworking of it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So in honor of this amazing songstress I thought I'd share a clip of her performing "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)"originally by the Eurythmics. It may be a song that has been covered a lot by the likes of Marilyn Manson and even Emily Browning in the movie Sucker Punch, but there is just something so beautiful about Ali's version. So I hope you enjoy.</span><br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">

<img height="200" id="il_fi" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuGzUOj3eLCpHk-OA_XeVRwWrGWYmiU-nK5dZP9QrJ-u449EXH9L-TPr9D_ELLU4PkUDnFG7Kb1cTwhNXIC07d8uvOYplkQwqw4LgsSHl5KJ1ryRz-vdtOOHZzqnSzPHKVZk6aEN2ffEM/s1600/dr.horribles.sing_.a.long_.blog_.gif" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="475" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So I'm in the mood for a bit of a pick me up and what better way to make my night better than spending it with Felicia Day, Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Joss Whedon. Ok so they were on my tv while I was on my couch with a glass of red wine and a box of chocolates; but it still counts ....sort of LOL</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ambernightdvd.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/joss-whedon-224x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><img height="293" id="il_fi" src="http://blastr.com/assets_c/2009/09/Dr_Horrible_Emmys-thumb-550x293-24444.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="550" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.ambernightdvd.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/joss-whedon-224x300.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" id="il_fi" src="http://www.ambernightdvd.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/joss-whedon-224x300.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="224" /></a> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway if you haven't seen it you better if you ever want to claim you love the works of Joss Whedon. Its only 45 minutes of your life that will let you see NPH play one of the best evil bloggers on the planet, espeically since he has "a PHD in horribleness". Not to mention Nathan Fillion playing Captain Hammer is just priceless. Again its a great piece of Joss' works and makes him even more awesome in my eyes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So what's it all about. Well Dr. Horrible is an aspiring supervillain with his own video blog who is trying to join the Evil League of Evil but his plans are usually
foiled by the egotistical superhero Captain Hammer. Of course Dr Horrible is also suffering from a case of unrequited love with his dream girl Penny who is swept off her feet by Captain Hammer. Faced
with the task of impressing the League, can Horrible overcome his own
incompetence to ruin the day, kill the hero, and still get the girl? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So sit back, relax, get ready to sing and watch the wonderful Dr Horrible's sing-a-long blog. </span></div>

<img alt="Beserk" src="http://www.beserk.com.au/image/data/beserklogo001.gif" title="Beserk" /> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.beserk.com.au/image/cache/13875-357x480.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="DRESS | Sopris Sailor" border="0" height="200" id="image" src="http://www.beserk.com.au/image/cache/13875-357x480.jpg" title="DRESS | Sopris Sailor" width="148" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As the year draws to a close I tend to realize that I still have gift vouchers from last Christmas that I need to spend. No I'm not the gal that forgets she has them only to find them two months after they expire, rather I get vouchers for places where the choices are so overwhelming that it takes me for ever to decided on what I'll get. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.beserk.com.au/image/cache/RS_713_1-357x480.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="SINGLET TOP | Rebel Mermaid Ariel" border="0" height="200" id="image" src="http://www.beserk.com.au/image/cache/RS_713_1-357x480.jpg" title="SINGLET TOP | Rebel Mermaid Ariel" width="148" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thankfully I was finally able to decided on a few items from one of my favorite Queensland stores called <a href="http://www.beserk.com.au/" target="_blank">Berserk</a>. You may not know who they are so I'll let you know they are a great team based in Bowen Hills in Queensland Australia who have been bringing some of the coolest items to our shores since 2001. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Plus their service is amazing, I ordered my pieces at 5pm on monday afternoon with regular postage and had them in my hot little hands Friday lunch time. I mean how cool is that, plus with the parcel ID I could even see when it landed in Melbourne and the postman had picked it up for delivery. Over all I couldn't be happier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.beserk.com.au/image/cache/15316-357x480.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="TOP | Sea Siren [grey/cream]" border="0" height="200" id="image" src="http://www.beserk.com.au/image/cache/15316-357x480.jpg" title="TOP | Sea Siren [grey/cream]" width="148" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Right now I guess your saying to yourself "Sure the service was great Tiki but what did you get???" Well....I got all the items from the images on the left. Yep that's right I picked up a sailor dress, Ariel the mermaid singlet and cute sailor top. Plus I also picked up a couple of magazines for a bit of quiet reading. I was also so pleased to find that measurements displayed online were exactly what was delivered. As I'm sure we all hold our breath the first time we try something on from a mail order purchase. But yes everything fitted and I couldn't be happier. So to Fleur and all your team a big THANK YOU as I now have some of the coolest things to wear to work. </span></div>

<img height="266" id="il_fi" src="http://tomdickins.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/afp-sydney-ninja-4.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In this age of twitter, email and Skype (to name a few) its rare that we get excited by going to our mail boxes as there only ever seems to be bills lurking there or a ton of junk mail. However this week I was pleasantly surprised to see a package from Woodend waiting to greet me. Inside this plain white package was a gift of joy from an artist who is very dear to me; Tom Dickins. As a proud supporter of his music since I discovered him last year I was overjoyed to find to hard copies of his CD's signed and waiting for me in my mail box. Not only were these copies signed but they had a personal message on them for me which made them ever more special. It warms my heart to think that Tom took time out of his day to sign these for me and send them. So needless to say these are now in pride of place on my Music wall and they are being listened to over and over again on all my playlists, which makes me even more excited about his current project which so many of us are helping to support. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So please get out there and support your local music acts. They need your love and support, coz you never know just how much a kind word or a cd/merch purchased can help them to achieve their dreams. If you like what they do, show your support it all counts.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was a quiet night in when my AppleTV suggested I watch a movie; yep a bit creepy that the little black box next to me TV knows what I like but hey it was right. As I a am a fan of sci-fi, geeks, con's and documentries it suggested that I watch Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope. Normally I'm a bit hessitant of doco's on us geeks at con's as they usually paint us in the "never left our parent's basement' light. However when the doco is produced with people like Morgan Spurlock, Joss Whedon, Kevin Smith it was worth watching the trailer at least I thought....yep and I was right it was totally worth it<span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am a proud geek gal who embraces being a bit left of centre and enjoys dressing up in Cosplay to go to a con, so to be able to watch a doco that is all about embracing what you love was brilliant. I admit there were even a few times when I teared up at some of the stories they followed in it. Trust me if you have ever been to a con, been called a geek for liking sci fi or comics then this is a movie for you. It also features some great interviews with people like Seth Rogan, Seth Green and of course my favourites Joss Whedon and Kevin Smith. Plus it features great quotes like ..... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"The geeks shall inherit the earth. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Firstly don't call me a geek and secondly how much do i get? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Do I get Australia?" Joss Whedon</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> "If I could go back in time and tell the 11yr old me that not only will you go to comic con but you'll go every year so much so like you'll be greeted by <span style="font-family: inherit;">S</span>tan lee when you show up. And the 11 yr old me will be like how did we get so fat? " Kevin Smith</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So yes now more than ever I am planning to save up, make costumes and somehow get myself to comic con at least once in my life. This movie is worth the watch so jump on iTunes or your local web-streaming channel, I'm personally now going to try and find a hard copy so I can watch this whenever I'm feeling blue to cheer myself up.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hopefully it will also inspire you all to follow your dreams and realize you are not alone. Chances are if you like it there are others out there in the 'verse who also do. So let you freak flag high and celebrate who you are!!!!!!</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<img height="179" id="il_fi" src="http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/26200000/Secret-Love-is-Move-screecaps-kpop-girl-power-26252749-1920-1080.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="320" /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Most would say that I have very varied tastes when it comes to music and style, so its no real shocker that I have formed a bit of weakness lately for K-pop (Korean Pop Music), in fact I remember being a bit into J-pop when I was in my early high school years thanks to my Japanese friends. There is just something that makes me smile and in some cases break out into a dance routine when listening to the tracks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><img height="229" id="il_fi" src="http://images.smh.com.au/2012/10/19/3727356/vd-psy-408x264.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="408" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If your not quiet sure what on earth I'm talking about the most recent cross over from K-pop to aussie mainstream is the song by PSY called Gangnam Style. I'm not sure why this one went viral and ended up on stations like Nova but maybe it has something to do with the video clip, youtube it if you haven't seen it. I dare you to keep a straight face when the guy in the elevator dances....and yes my crazy mates have been seen breaking out these dance moves in clubs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ60rNToXE9d4Tjul1KNlJgo9xzyJvO8e-gU8GWgL84wJeyhX-_utR4_V4aXSUgD9Z7Fypql12hvs02F74vqItOxcc-pmEnIgex4Cj_kU5u5JQ99dzONajo8LkZBDdKB_k4zD9Dj4QWFo/s1600/SNSD-Gee-album-cover-girls-generation-snsd-15944819-400-295.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ60rNToXE9d4Tjul1KNlJgo9xzyJvO8e-gU8GWgL84wJeyhX-_utR4_V4aXSUgD9Z7Fypql12hvs02F74vqItOxcc-pmEnIgex4Cj_kU5u5JQ99dzONajo8LkZBDdKB_k4zD9Dj4QWFo/s320/SNSD-Gee-album-cover-girls-generation-snsd-15944819-400-295.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Apart from PSY I have fallen for a group called Girls Generation, partly because their songs make me smile and partly because where else can you see a 9 girl k-pop band. I guess it also brings back memories of my J-pop days when you would hear Japanese with the occasional English word thrown in. Yep it still makes me giggle to hear this. I also like the fashion and the make up which got me searching through my make up tutorials and lead me to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MichellePhan" target="_blank">Michelle Phan</a> and her great tutorial on how to do K-pop makeup. I really like Michelle's clips as she explains each step really well making it easy to follow, plus this is a great base for me to practice my anime cosplay styles. So in the interests of spreading knowledge I've included her clip below and who knows maybe when I've got the style down a bit better I'll show you my attempts at it. So sit back and enjoy and thanks to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MichellePhan" target="_blank">Michelle Phan</a> for sharing this great clip.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have always had a soft spot for Katy Perry's style as its just the right mix of stunning makeup and quirky outfits. Sure not all of her clothing is suitable for walking to the supermarket to pick up some milk but I love the risk of what she wears. </span></div>
<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0i84KIh95hAihbSYYWFXbajsw1jNzd_GSO_DA8eiNZEauG01B0OR4rWmixlNolvl55dzJBrbYtxaaNNZnafYWhu5I7q2jC2YgWxncB29pn96Xo1SYG0gccJcG8fDUNdag7DGVNLG6Kqg/s1600/Katy+Perry.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0i84KIh95hAihbSYYWFXbajsw1jNzd_GSO_DA8eiNZEauG01B0OR4rWmixlNolvl55dzJBrbYtxaaNNZnafYWhu5I7q2jC2YgWxncB29pn96Xo1SYG0gccJcG8fDUNdag7DGVNLG6Kqg/s320/Katy+Perry.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So as the red in my hair dye starts to fade I have been looking for a new color, partly because of the fading but mostly as I seem to see every second person with the exact same color. This started me searching for some inspiration. Sure I could follow the cosplay path and go pink, green or something just as out there but the color has to be one I can also wear to work. Which is why when sent a link to Katy Perry's wide awake clip the suggestion of dark blue/purple seemed to speak volumes to me. I'm currently researching what it all entails and most likely I'll end up at Wildlocks in the city as they are amazing when it comes to colors like this. So right now its all about watching Youtube clips to find out the good, the bad and the mistakes I can learn by. And who knows the next pic of me may be with my new color.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And now for the clip that is inspiring the color change....enjoy</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Personally I like to support local companies especially when they are independent clothing stores based here in Australia. A few years ago I discovered <a href="http://kittendamour.com/" target="_blank">Kitten D'Amour</a> in Queensland and I have loved their clothing ever since. Its a great mix of all I adore with their gothic lolita, retro inspired clothing. One of the best things about their clothing is you can wear it as a complete outfit or take the parts you love and work it into your daily wear. In fact its actually a store I always make a special effort to get to when ever I get to the sunshine state.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With their collections ranging from sweet and innocent like the picture to the left from their Love and Cherish Collection to amazing dresses for the races in the Rue De Paris and Dearly beloved collections as seen below. These pieces let your inner Goddess shine through in a multitude of ways and really who wouldn't want to be a Goddess in their daily life. Plus when attending events you are sure to stand out in the right way.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So do you like what you see so far? Then make sure you jump on their <a href="http://kittendamour.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and have a look for yourself. And please make sure you watch the clip below to help you feel inspired</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here in Melbourne we have one of the oddest public holidays in the calendar, yep we all get the day off to watch 'the race that stops the nation' otherwise known as the Melbourne Cup. Yes you are reading that right we get a day off to dress up in our finest frocks and hats that only see the light of day once a year if we're really honest while we have a few drinks and watch horses race. </span></div>

For most of us its only a little bit about the horses and having a flutter on the race. Many go (and yes I'm talking about the ladies here) just to the fashions on the field. It's not all champagne and looking fabulous as the Melbourne Cup seems to have convinced us all, there is one tradition that only long term cup go-ers know....its the weather. As we are in Melbourne it's not strange to have four seasons in any one day but Cup day has a rule all of its own. <br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are only two weather types if your attending the cup </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1. Blistering heat </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">or 2. Pouring down rain. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So unless your in a marquee its essential to watch those weather forecasts as you don't want to end up stuck in the mud while wearing your new heels that you just had to have for that perfect race day dress. This year the fashions were a real mixed bag and I guess that hat that Princess Beatrice wore at the royal wedding wasn't enough of a warning to some to really think about their choices. Personally I like the elegant and classy fascinator or wide brimmed hat and the less avant-guard. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In the end it rained this year but Green Moon won so its swings and round-a-bouts I guess. The bubbles flowed and the fashion gave all us gals something to talk about, so overall a good day was had by all especially as I spend my cup day at home with friends wearing silly hats and having a laugh. I think I like this best as you get to spend the day with out the huge expense, no lines for the bathrooms and a great sound system playing your favourite songs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Happy Race Season to you all. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ok so its been its been a long time between drinks so to speak, LOL. Due to a thousand and one things happening in my life my blog had to take a break and hopefully that will be the last of the breaks. *fingers crossed*</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXuEAFcezm4CYnGE3wh11tK-YCJo6k43JH07LuMQRkRqcM9hR4o1eLsq1S_jocV2f4R6UcnyqF_8R6mRAhCXMDNCs-metE8EMxZpvjo7y0rUBUVB_sfFj0Abh0XizWzmL7apYoo_8nmxc/s1600/hot-pink-christmas-tree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXuEAFcezm4CYnGE3wh11tK-YCJo6k43JH07LuMQRkRqcM9hR4o1eLsq1S_jocV2f4R6UcnyqF_8R6mRAhCXMDNCs-metE8EMxZpvjo7y0rUBUVB_sfFj0Abh0XizWzmL7apYoo_8nmxc/s320/hot-pink-christmas-tree.jpg" width="239" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So whats been going on in your life??? Well I've moved into a new store so spending lots of time making it as pretty as a picture as we head into the silly season of Christmas. Otherwise known as the time when us retailers drink, become exhausted and end up buying our friends and families gift cards as presents as we just can't face another minute in a shop. Yep that was a heads up for all my buddies..... Currently I'm spending my days surrounded by ultra cool goodies and tiny tinsel trees; there is even a hot pink one so that may end up on my desk at home. Coz of course that's what every good office needs a hot pink xmas tree. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Apart from being crazy busy at work I've been spending a lot of times with my buddies discovering new things and supporting local artisans. Its no surprise to many that I have been trying to spread the word for local artists and hence I've been given a whole bunch of new music, art and indie movies to enjoy which has been great. I'm still a massive fan of Tom Dickins and Amanda Palmer and recently received some amazing packages from them both but more on that to come. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've also decided to plan 2013 so I can get the most of of the year when it comes to conventions and events. The list includes multiple interstate trips to places like Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane for events ranging from PAX (gamers convention), Supanova/ComicCon/Arrmeggdon (geek conventions) to retro events like Gangsters ball/wintersun/hot rod shows. Yep so 2013 is going to be one busy year for this gal; but hey what can be better than always having something to look forward to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With that said I'll sign off for today and hope to see you soon with lots more news about this wonderful world we live in.</span><br />

Thanks to Ms Selma I was given a copy of the new release songs of the amazing Emilie Autumn collection known as F.L.A.G or the full title as <i>Fight Like a Girl</i>. Based on her autobiographical novel, <i>The Asylum for Wayward Victorican Girls</i> the album has been described as "an operatic feminist treatise set
inside an insane asylum, wherein the female inmates gradually realize
their own strength in numbers." </div>

The music ranges from dark electronic, haunting 18th century harpsichord and almost classical beat-poetry. I'm not sure how long Australian fans will have to wait for the official release and long awaited tour but when Emilie does return to our shore she will be greeted with joy. So far I do have a few fav's like "we want them young", "if I burn", 'The Key" and of course "Fight like a girl". This is a must for all fans.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As I head to bed to night it is with the excitement of a child on Christmas eve as tomorrow the long awaited opening of the Chadstone Zara store is due. It is claimed that Zara needs just two weeks</span><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zara_%28retailer%29#cite_note-0"><span></span><span></span></a></sup><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> to develop a new product and get it to stores, compared to the
six-month industry average, and launches around 10,000 new designs each
year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Its not very often I count down to a store opening like this however I have been following the fashion trend from Europe for awhile and now I get to have one a lot closer to home than before. With a great range of clothing for all ages I will happily attend the opening to see just whats instore for us all in their new double level location. So stay tuned for pics and probably a couple of purchases. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Ok so its probably a bit early to start thinking about 2013 but when the phrase "new diary" and "25% off" are in the same sentence it was all I could do to not walk into Kikki K and see what was on offer. And.......</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I stumbled upon the gorgeous cute canvas time planner; it probably helps that I'm really embracing my new love for pink at the moment so it just had to come home with me. Apart from the ultra cute design it is ideal for managing appointments, storing loose paper and is the perfect one-stop organizer on the go as its small enough to fit in all of my bags for work and day-to-day. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As many friends of mine know I have a real weakness for stationery especially for journals and diaries so it was hard just picking one from the new 2013 Kikki K range. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So why do I love it...... Features:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Canvas outer with cotton lining</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Refillable Pages</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Monthly and Weekly View</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Card Pockets</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Elastic Closure</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Pen Loop and yes I did have to pick up a new pen as well, who could resist.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Notepad, </span><span style="font-size: small;">To Do List, </span><span style="font-size: small;">Addresses and </span><span style="font-size: small;">Expenses tracker</span></li>
</ul>
And yes I know I have all these things in my phone but who can really say no to a place to colour in and really personalize, plus you can still access all the things you want regardless of battery life and WiFi connectivity.</div>
<div class="product-det-tabs default" id="features" style="display: block; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="product-det-tabs default" id="features" style="display: block; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
So keep your eyes peeled in your local stores for the cool new stationery coming out over the next few months.</div>
