unfortunately this post is a gripe.
ie. Things I hate at the moment.
Hate is a strong word but hey whatever you're not my mom.

1. Midriff fashion
NO
NO
NO
I mean honestly what the fuck.
This better not be where fashion is headed.

Unfortunately I have seen way too many guts recently. Mostly because its Festival season here and for some fucked up reason the 16 year olds have all decided that if Miley does it it must be cool or something.
This is by far the WORST thing that has come out of mainstream culture fashion in the past 5 years.
By all means go for it if you are 42kgs and amazonian and tanned. But it is a regretful and hideous mistake if you are not the full package of previously described things.
Just don't do it.
Please.

2. On my recent travels I bought the February 2010 issue of British Vogue.
It was shit.
Nautical, lace and psychedelic colors. Really? It felt like I was reading the February 2009 edition. I know that I'm no fashion expert but even I know what is old news.
Either that or Londoners just aren't as fashionable as I thought they were. (more likely).

I swear its as if the industry really has run out of ideas. Whatever I'm sick of bitching there's more but I can't be bothered with it at the moment. leave me alone.

In other news I may have a new job (exciting stuff) well nothing is for certain at the moment but I have finally come to terms with having to work full time for a few years so that I can go and live somewhere amazing.

Which has lead me to another gripe:

3. 18/19 year olds who move away from home to "cooler" places only to come back 6months later. I think Perthians take it for granted that we live in such a close knit community type suburbia. Although most of the time it seems a tad incestuous, we really do take for granted that, for most of us, we cannot walk around the city without seeing someone we know. There are unfortunately a lot of people who have decided that this is a bad thing for some reason.. so they move to Melbourne. Which is a city a lot larger than our own and with a cooler vibe. Honey, you don't know anyone, where anything is, or what to do. In Perth you are a big fish in a little pond.
Here's what I think - go for a holiday and enjoy it, or go forever and don't look back. But honestly, if you're going to move away why not commit and go somewhere real.
Having said this, I realise that a lot of people move away from Perth to other places not because they are cooler or whatever but for other reasons. So please just relax.

Anyway. This week has been nice just being able to hang out without having to worry about work. I have watched way too much 30rock and eaten way too many no meat burgers. But to me that is living at the moment.

love.
