Faker than barbie



Wearing:
Louis Vuitton Hat


Can someone tell me why I'm still single?
Having a fashion blog has its perks. Is there a better way to feed that narcissistic side of you than staring at a zoomed up image of your face as you Photoshop yourself into oblivion? Hate your nose? Just do a simple Google image search and fifteen minutes later you can have Gwyneth Paltrows nose on your face. Cheaper and faster than that planned trip to Thailand for your dodgy surgery in some back alley. And if you "Merge all Layers" that nose ain't going to fall off either! 

But one of the major downsides to the blog is the need to constantly come up with new outfits. As you can see I managed to grab one of those big hats from Louis Vuitton fall 2012 and styled it with some natural makeup. This however, is not a whole outfit and this is after all an outfit blog. A new hat hardly constitutes a whole new outfit. What sucks is that my current finances don't allow me to purchase anything else and I can't just Photoshop Prada's new collection onto my body. Faking a $10k nose job is one thing but pretending I'm a cooler, more exciting and richer person over the internet is just wrong. Plain wrong. Only losers Photoshop designer items onto themselves let alone have a more amazing internet persona. I mean one of the worst things in life is when you meet someone famous/semi famous/have high expectations for and you are just underwhelmed. Like this one time when I went out to meet internet user "BigTool4u" and was severely disappointed. So I'm not going to let you guys ever experience that if you ever meet me!

I'm as real as they get.

Thanks too Stephanie the MUA and Tri Phan the photographer

A little photoshoot I did with the talented Lucia Pang all the way in Penrith!

So what I originally wrote for this post  is going to be ignored, deleted and instead, I'm going to go on a little tangent, rant, passive aggressive post, life message that can be mildly linked back to the editorial that I styled.

Now I like to think that the two models represent me, because really, the amount of amazingness I am is equivalent to these two super hot babe models. Now you can see by the first few images that they are all like 

Hmmmm these cactus plants are dangerous but sadly they don't seem to be able to love me no matter how much I hug them. Why won't you lurveeeeeee me you stupid plants but honestly plants can't love you because they are plants and you can't make friends with salad let alone a lover so really all I'm doing is waiting to get pricked  but I like living life on the edge #YOLO

But then you come across this gorgeous white horse that accidentally dropped your knight in shinning armor at the wrong farm 3 blocks away but it doesn't matter because it loves you and wants you to be its best friend and won't stop following you even after you have your photo with it . 

So there you are forgetting about your stupid cactus loving escapade and just chilling on some farm with a horse that loves you and Oh life is so amazing with the nice weather and colour presets.

but then...

BAM

The horse backstabs you (the related photo was to gruesome to upload) and suddenly you are in some other weird run down farm clutching your body from the freezing cold. And it ain't just a physical cold sistah

Soon you are grabbing onto anything to support yourself and you are thinking that hmmmmm that cactus loving thing I had going on earlier was better because it would just prick me and not backstab me (because cactus can't backstab but horses can)

Soon you are just sitting down on some wall looking off into the distance thinking what if...

And then your life turns into a B&W photo

The end.

So if you are still with us, the point of the story is, if you had to play with a cactus or horse, pick the cactus guys. JUST DO IT.

Real life Art in the Art Gallery


Anna is wearing
Ae'lkemi full feathered dress POA

Ae'lkemi Chartreuse mini, $1400
Tom Gunn Billie Black & Acid shoes, $369
What's one of the fastest ways to get yourself kicked out from the Art Gallery of New South Wales? Attempt to subtly sneak some drop dead, stunna of a model in a floor length, feathery, bridal couture dress and force her to walk up and down the aisles of the gallery. Nothing out of the ordinary, just your average day taking your model out for her daily dose of exercise*.

While we were leisurely walking around the Art Gallery, the beautiful, floor length Ae'lkemi dress would shed its white feathers, leaving a trail wherever we went. It was reminisce of the closing look of Alexander McQueen S/S07, the dress with fresh flowers on it that would scatter all around her. Combined with the architecture and renaissance paintings surrounding us, Anna became this ethereal  other worldly being who seemed to have descended from heaven and was walking on feathers. Or some other beautiful, poetic bullshit. She was just really pretty.

When it came down to working, we played it cool. Security didn't notice us whilst we staged our impromptu fashion photo shoot. It was all going smoothly, better than expected really** Too bad for us the subtle factor evaporated when hordes and hordes of tourists decided to join in on the "photoshoot", even posing with the model awkwardly. And then the wrath of multiple security guards questioning our every motive descended on us like seagulls finding a potato chip in Circular Quay. It wasn't nice and we ran out of the building like a bride second guessing her marriage to her sugar daddy.
"But we haven't even gotten into third looks yet?!!?"


*Anna is actually a long distance track athlete and has won multiple medals. Her daily dose of exercise is probably the equivalent of three years of exercise for me.

**We called the Museum ahead of the shoot and apparently its illegal to shoot there, "heavy fines are imposed"



Thankyou to Anna @ The Agency and Lola Li for photographing
