Blind worship is all you'll ever accept.

I hate models
and I hate the way,
they look at you in the eyes and they say,
just how great your life could be

Although I think that,
you've got nothing to be pleased about,
'cos blind worship is the only thing
you'll ever accept

I hate TV (TV, TV, TV)
and i hate the way
It looks at you in the eye and then say's
just how great your life it could have been

Although I think that,
you've got nothing to be pleased about,
'cos blind worship is the only thing
you'll ever accept

- Neils Children, I hate Models.

(oh, what thinly veiled sentiment).

Oh snap.

I'm too fat to be a hipster.

Golddddddddd.

Rings and Chains.



Diamonds are a girl's best friend, especially if there's chains involved. It's pretty much finger bondage.

Double Band Chain Ring by Made Her Think. $336 US from Bona Drag.

One of these would be splendid, thank you.


Let them eat cake.


Let them eat cake, designer style. Swedish photographer Therese Algard and prop designer Lisa Edsalv baked a bunch of cupcakes for some of the worlds most recognised labels. Model cakes, for model people. 



Back from the train wreck.








I need more injuries to validate my behaviour this weekend. 
Ab.so.lute.me.ss.
Also rather hilarious. 
Apparently I took a few phone photos. 
Apparently I don't even know who half the people in the photos are. 
About 1000 random things occurred. 
Swine love, 7am skateboarding, broken hearts, bouncy balls, girl in the poster, cupcakes, ADD meds, 6am parks, and walking to Redfern.
Mes-sy.

Machtastic.

Can the truth exist in a machiavellian state?

Had I the patience to complete honours in psychology, I would really love to test this question. I'm proposing a machiavellian gladiator of sorts. A battle of wits, and of truth. Imagine a machiavellian writing a psychological test for another machiavellian. 

Much of our psychological research on this personality type fail for want of reliability, given that machiavellians are often able to deduce the purpose of the test, and therefore manipulate their answers to accord with the hypothesis of the experimenter. They lack the truth, because the truth undermines the power of the machiavellian. 

Sure, we have some checks and balances in place when testing personality disorders, but these too can be manipulated. The skilled machiavellian should, hypothetically, be able to overcome these tests. 

So, who wins when a machiavellian writes the test? Do the machs cancel each other out? Are there degrees of machiavellian personality; and therefore we would see the stronger mach win?Do we end up with the truth in a machiavellian state? Or, are they so incapable of truth, that we end further from the truth than when the testing began?...

Hair Envy.

Rats!



Squee(!!!) 
Fashion shoot with rats = almost cutest shoot ever.
Model Ellen Danes is quite a babe too. 
More of the shoot +++ others by pretty great photographer, Gemma Booth.

French Kissing.



This 18 year old Parisian's blog and style look like they've been torn straight out of a French Gossip Girl spin off.
Completely impeccable +++ cute party kids/boys in glitter.

Foetus Shakes.

A: "Do you know anyone who would wear a foetus as a ring?"
S: "Actually, I do."
H: "Do you mean Fran?"
^_^
My sick sick mind is heaps infamous.


Ideasideasideas.

Think I might twitter myself to $50,000. 
Just got to find the missing link.

Fuckin' riots.

15 year old sprouters have the greatest ideas. I'm a little bit jealous of their tech-savvy ability to put them into practice.

Vinyl Riot is one example. An online mag, written by you.
That is, as long as you like choco-tea, vinyl bras, polaroid pictures, have cool kicks and a sweet hair doo. A magazine for the dreamers, the mainstream-haters, the fashion freak and the art geek.
It's connecting a creative internet age, combining the perspectives experience and knowledge of anyone with the interwebs. 
I dare you to think of something worth showing the world; go and write on this shit. 

It'll be ideas which aren't diluted by an individual perspective/Collectivism equals power, or some shit.

The Virgin Issue is online now.

Dear Noir.




.noir.sheer.structure.
.so dark and lovely.
.techno earth inspiration board.
i think i could marry black/at very least, marry in black.

Maybe someday, this feeling will kidnap you.





Sex, photography, art, fashion. 
Girls, boys, bare chests, bare legs.
Words, illustration, beauty. 
Just another online magazine to waste away the rainy days.

1/4RVCA.

ANPQuarterly is a free arts magazine published by RVCA, with a focus on all that is creative within the broader community. Think music, art, and all that is worth acknowledging; through the eyes of a brand synonymous with street culture.
The publication either benefits or suffers from the financial backing it receives from a successful brand; and you should probably be the judge of that. 
Except, to do so, you'll have to be quick. Numbers are always limited, and are getting picked up quicker and quicker these days. Also, if you're in Australia, you can only get it from two places. 
Sydney people; get it at Monsters Children Gallery (20 Burton St., Surry Hills)
or, Melbournites; Someday (Level 3 Curtin House, 252 Swanston Street). 

GO!

Clare.


I think this girl actually goes to my uni; which, based on the number of North Shore bogans studying there, shouldn't come as any surprise. 
I pretty much wanted to go talk to her. Except, I was worried I'd have to go through her PR. 
Kind of awesome that you can score yourself a PR by being a drunk Kings Cross bogan. 
BANG.

Procreation.

I momentarily considered reproducing and child rearing yesterday, and became all pro-procreation because I witnessed some Cheap Monday baby gear first hand.
Tiniest lot of skinny denim I have ever seen(!!!), and fashions more Fran-sized than anything else in store.
Super, super cute. Pretty sure a Cheap Monday baby would be breaking all the hearts in the playground.




Do playground fashions a service, and get your kid into this stuff. Because, I can't be bothered to reproduce. 
Seen at the Cheap Monday Store in Bondi, which, for the record, is a thousand times better than the Cheap Monday pop-up store.

Flutter By.

Butterflies can see red, green and yellow. 
Kind of sad that this little guy can't see how pretty he is.

Good As Gold, Bro.

Apparently New Zealand do more than play rugby.
Like, they can be pretty okay at fashion, art and music too.

Good As Gold looks pretty sweet (from its interweb shopfront at least), and now I'm a little sad I won't be able to see the real thing any time soon.

This is owing to the fact they have a pretty great artist/shopfront collab going on.



Sarah Brueckner... graphic designer/artist/illustrator.

You be the judge.
Check out more photos on the Good As Gold blog.

La Balloon Rouge.

My weekend consisted of a little less party, a little more arts and crafts, and Mountains pig roasting adventures.
Also, a lot of youtube viewing.
A friend of mine showed me these unofficial video clips by j. tyler helms on youtube, and they're pretty fucking ace.
Here is Grizzly Bear vs La Balloon Rouge, a 1950's film. A super sweet film, with a bitchin' little child star.

Somehow, he manages to collect footage from films which perfectly fit the songs.

Lofty Business.

"i never realise how much i like being home, until i've been somewhere completely different for a while" - Juno. 

Funny, 

i never realise how much i like being somewhere completely different, until i've been home for a while. 

Looking forward to our lofty home away from home.

Midget.

Haha, a-maise-ing.
These Maise jeans fit me like full length jeans.
Stumpy power.

Awkward Boners.


Awkward, boners.

Hello Kitty.

I fell in love with cats on a random kitchen floor between the hours of 4 and 5 am.
 
I fell in love with their complexity and appreciated that they needed explaining.

As soon as is possible, there will be a kitten in my life.

It will be called Willow. 

And I will buy it toys, like these:

Willow's gonna be a pilot, bitches.

Little Green Dinosaurs.

Green with envy at housing commission parks.

Ink This.


Shit. 
This guy gets inks to look better than any photo I can take. 
So photographic. 
Pretty amazing dude. Check him. 

Origami Boners.


I can't even fold paper to get shapes like this. 

Yet designer Dora Mojzes has a way with fabric and structure that I can only ever dream of pulling off. (Heroin chic catwalk figure, please). 
If I could honestly get away with wearing stuff like this, every day, I would. 

It looks like it was dreamed up by gothics and made by Japanese origami artists. 

So gothic princess exoskeletal-fantastic.
