In this supercharged techno world we live in ,
The old fashion charm & secrecy of the humble diary,
Still has it's place.

If I told you things I did before
Told you how I used to be
Would you go along with someone like me?

If you knew my story word for word
Had all of my history
Would you go along with someone like me?

I did before and had my share
It didn't lead nowhere
I would go along with someone like you.

It doesn't matter what you did
Who you were hanging with
We could stick around and see this night through

And we don't care about the young folks
Talking 'bout the young style
And we don't care about the old folks
Talking 'bout the old style too.

I'm terribly sorry I haven't been updating.

I just got back from a weeks trip to sydney with li and I haven't even unpacked my previous trip's bags yet :(



Sydney was mildly sunny and enjoyable, A nice change from the humidity I've had to endure the last 2 or so months.
The thing I missed most was the warm customer service I'm so used to in Melbourne.
Shopping wasn't as enjoyable in Sydney, to be quite frank the shop assistants were cold bitches. They don't greet you when you enter the shop or even acknowledge your presence. It wasn't because they were busy attending to other customers or hanging clothes, most of them were just standing at the counter really, looking bored. How awkward.
An exception was a lovely asian assistant in longchamp, she even complimented li's old spam shirt.

Sydney's transport system also sucks, I spent over ten dollars everyday on concession tickets. Ridiculous.
Why aren't there daily tickets so that my spending caps at a certain amount?
I had to pay everytime I hopped on a mode of transport.

I pay a fixed $14.70 a week on transport here in Melbourne, I spent around the same amount in a day in Sydney. Don't even get me started on adult fees there!
$3.60 for a 10 min bus ride if you are on full fee !
WUT.

Therefore I have ruled out Sydney as a possibility of settlement in the future.

Moving on, I am deeply saddened to say Alexander McQueen has passed.
Although I can't and probably never be able to enjoy his garments ( possibly the target range he designed, which is only sold in America :( ), I always enjoyed his quirky creations in mags and fashion blogs.

R.I.P Lee McQueen, your creations were what the people in my dreams were clothed in.












One of the comments I read on Oh No They Didn't was " GOD WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE ROBERTO CAVALLI INSTEAD? " and I really laughed.
