NO DOUBT IS BACK BITCHES.

YEP. Its true people, Gwen Stefani after a hiatus of losing her mind, has returned to her roots and come back to No Doubt so they can record an album and please the human race, if not, then at least myself. And let me tell you I am MIGHTY DELIGHTED.



Needless to say I downloaded (yeah I'm dodgy like that) their new song Stand and Deliver which apparently is an Adam & the Ants cover, and I say apparently as I have never actually heard the original and as I type this am considering going to YouTube and bothering to look it up. I actually just might. I ACTUALLY just might. (Ok. I obvs did since I linked it)

So anyways don't waste time here, hurry, with quick haste listen to Stand and Deliver - the No Doubt version.
That's a myspace link btw, as Youtube is being a giant piece of shit and due to copyright issues you can't find a copy of their cover that is unaltered there, but if you smoke crack and can pretend this sounds normal, then by all means give it a go.

Oh and for the record I was lying when I said Gwen Stefani lost her mind. I love her and everything she does. Yes Gwen, if you ever read this, which of course I'm sure you will since really we should be like BFF/twins, then I love you. Please don't chuck a Sam Ronson and get a restraining order out on me. I promise I am harmless.

Sam and Lindsay in happier lezzer times; when Sam still looked like a girl.

Since I'm on the subject of music, I thought I'd also chuck this in.


No. It isnt just a bearded man for no reason - although I am one to enjoy a beard so if I ever do decide to chuck a random beard man/gnome in a post with no explanation, accept it for what it is. Pure magnificence - the man pictured is actually Mat Weddle and he does the most beautiful version of Hey Ya I've ever heard.

He reminds me of Dallas Green in the way that you don't expect them to sing how they do and once they do you're completely in love. Just me again? Whatevs, this has now given me the perfect excuse to shove a picture of Dallas Green here as his tattooed, bearded, nerdy self - another one of my great loves.




I know. I tried to stop at one but couldn't help myself. But really, why question it? Just enjoy.
Oh and enjoy these two Dallas Green/City and Colour songs. This guy is AMAZING live.

Yep. I've definitely just made myself re-fall in love with this man.

I WISH I WAS EATEN BY A BEAR.

So it's almost the end of my uni holidays and I need to update this thing.
As a result of being really stuck for ideas this year - appropriately my FINAL year - when I desperately need to be filled to the brim with ideas and amazing design work. I find that I'm completely on the other end.
I'm swimming/lurking/dwelling in the ABYSS. So as a result I have been frequenting too many design blogs or blogs of vintage/random pictures in order to drain some inspiration from them which hopefully will result in me not epically failing this year, but the good thing is as a result I discovered this beauty.

The grizzly bear sleeping bag by Eiko Ishizawa.

I can't imagine anyone not enjoying the novelty of this. At least I know my friend Lauren will enjoy this as much as I did. I personally have never been camping but if I owned this I would find a way to go on camping trips all the time, that or maybe organise sleep overs with friends just to break this baby out. The detail of the face, even the inner gnarly teeth and pink lining, not to mention it perfectly zips up at the mouth is amazing, it makes it look so real, I mean at least at first glance. The death thing is, this isn't for sale ( I know right have a good ol' wah right here) it was just created for an exhibition.
But man, who doesn't wanna pretend they have been eaten by a bear and get to sleep inside its warm stomach all night?

HAR MAR SUPERSTAR VS. RON JEREMY

Ron Jeremy causes me severe disgust however I mention him today as whilst being slightly under the influence of wine, a friend of mine was watching this videoclip. It blew my mind.
Instantly I thought Ron Jeremy sings? WTF. (Note: Ron Jeremy is an overtly hideous beast that somehow has made it in the porn industry despite his repulsive exterior) But I'm not that stupid. I could tell it wasn't him but indeed a close following doppelganger.

The fat nugget known as Ron Jeremy.

His equally hideous twin Har Mar Superstar.

I had previously heard of Har Mar Superstar but didn't know anything nor much care.
Now however I am a changed woman, DUI is a great song.
It's definitely something I can imagine dancing to non stop. Anyways you must watch this clip. Quite enjoyable. If not for the cameo appearance from Har Mar's butt crack at the end, then definitely for his belly hugging wife beater/flares ensemble matched with amazing dance moves and receding hairline. Delicious.

FLAMINGOS.

YES. I finally got the Network Media Production first assignment done.
What is it on you ask?
Well my dears, FLAMINGOS of course. Clearly I am crazy enough to have one tattooed on myself that it was about time I actually did a piece of work on them.
It is actually meant to be an online exhibition, and my word was I quite delighted to look up about one MILLION images of flamingos.
It is true however, you do learn new things every day. I tell you I just knew I thought flamingos were beautiful and I thought there was just the standard pink feathered, long necked, long legged one.
Ok so they all do share a degree of pink colouring which I also learned was due to the carotene in their diet (aka. what is in carrots) maybe if I eat enough I could also turn a lovely shade of pink? Hmm...
But truly there are six different species of Flamingo. SIX. This means six tattoos I can get of the different species. LOL.
The one I have has cadillac fins attached to its bum, so I guess it's not a real Flamingo. Aka. SORRY MUM looks like I'm looking for more excuses to be ink covered! But back to the point. Six different species. Thing is once you look at the images you can see they vary, in colour, leg colour, beak colouring. It BLEW my mind to say the least.
Anyways without further a do, please enjoy or not enjoy looking at PINK PAGES of PINK FEATHERED FLAMINGOS.
OH and read all about the six species. So not only is it Pretty In Pink (vomit. lame pun) but its educational. How delightful.

Above. Is just ONE species of Flamingo. Can you imagine? JUST ONE. wow.

Oh and now with my all new knowledge thanks to my online exhibition I can confidently tell you that it is a Caribbean Flamingo. Uni made me smart.
