Why do you let me stay here?

I feel the need to share this lovely video. I thought 'In the Sun' was my favourite song clip but I was proven wrong today. The great part being that I wasn't procrastinating because I was actually looking for videos for my screen project, which may have changed again, a movie is better than a website if I don't manage to complete it. Definitely feeling the stress uuuurgh.

I would love love love to re-create this video but I know of no males who can dance like this, even if I removed the backflip! These are some of the best dance moves ever created. And as usual she looks far too stunning. I am so jealous of this girl, it's not fair that she gets to be so damn adorable!

Oh and outfit post #2. One of the best dresses in my wadrobe. Fantastic cut, huge chunky red exposed zipper down the back, hot pink buttons fastening the straps at the back. And Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup printed liberally all over the dress.

Puzzle with a piece missing

Hmm I completely forgot that I was going to ask the internets an opinion. I have recently been pondering the whole shorts over tights movement. I can't even remember the last time I wore shorts. It may have been year 11, I had these horrible pair of sports shorts for school. The fabric was really harsh and disgusting and I used to complain that they were touching me. At no point in my life have I been known for wearing shorts. I have also never been sure that they look decent on me. I think my legs are too curvy and disproportionate.

What do you think? Could I pull off shorts? I don't mean high waisted high cut type shorts, or knee length shorts, just...shorts. Maybe a nice vintage look with a blouse or cardigan over opaque tights?

Contemplating shorts coming into winter seems a bit odd but really how much cooler are they than wearing a skirt and tights? And shorts don't blow up in the wind...

*EDIT - it's been pointed out that I wore shorts for my 20th. But I made those myself and they are more bloomers than shorts and quite unflattering...oh well here's me in 'shorts.'

I'll just keep it to myself in the sun

I should have a few outfit posts over the next couple of days. Today I changed my major project for my screen based project, after a minor breakdown last night. It's due on Monday and can be anything that goes on a screen, ie. computer, projector, phone screen etc. Anything. All well and good except the only skill he has managed to teach us in a whole semester id a bit of movie editing with iMovie. I don't have a Mac computer =/ And though creative my mind doesn't run to short film ideas.

So I am falling back on my I.T friend's knowledge and we are going to see if he can teach me how to make a website in an evening. Yay! Stress!

Anyways there is a point to this, and the point is what I am doing for my website, or rather plan on doing. I have a habit of being too ambitious. At this late date I couldn't think of anything and was stressing. Late last night in a fit of Marilyn Manson (this may seem bizarre to you but I find him calming? A friend said that confronted with the amount of anger he conveys you just can't be as angry as he is so your mind says 'why compete?') I decided to be true to the theme of 'self promotion' and make a website for me. Self Promotion is a stupid theme by the way.

So my idea, which will probably never actually be exposed to the internet because I don't really see the point, is to have a site that sort of combines my Deviantart page and my Blog. It is going to have outfits and things I have made, photos of my house I took for photography and some artworks. And possibly some mini movies I made for earlier screen tasks (I wrapped myself in foil).

So today mum and I took outfit shots. It was sunny! and warm! Amazing! ...it has been raining for about 2 weeks now. I might be pretty busy over the next few days with assignments so I shall space my outits out a bit to compensate? Not that anyone really reads this haha. Sometimes I think blogging is me talking to myself... hmm insanity.

To kick it off the Zooey Deschanel oufit I wore last week but didnt photograph. This is for Em =]

I have lost a teeny bit of weight apparently and need to take my skirt in a bit, which is why it is sitting a bit oddly

My baby, my darlin', I been thinking of leaving

Argh assessment time. And waaaaay too many hours at work time. I miss my blog *hugs blog*

Yesterday was cold and rainy and I think I have the beginnings of a cold. I have that kind of headache that radiates up from your neck, which for me means 'hello cold, we meet again.' 

To combat this lack of enthusiasm for going out I decided to dress like Zooey Deschanel. Sadly no photos. No one was around to photograph it and it was raining. I'll give you some photos of the lovely Zooey instead. Dressing up is one of the ways I con myself into leaving the house. This may seem weird to some people but it makes perfect sense to me. Zooey has been an inspiration of mine for a few years now. How can you not love her, she's just...adorable.

I purchased the newest She&Him album a few months back and I've yet to stop playing it. I am probably driving everyone in my house up the wall but they haven't said anything about it yet. I have it on my mp3 player and I like to play 'In the Sun' as I walk home through the park. If no one is looking I may just skip home...

I also recently purchased the 4 part series TINMAN for a serious bargain at $9 for the 2 disc edition. I love that show and she is perfect in it. I have never been the greatest fan of The Wizard of Oz for some reason but I do enjoy this take on it. If you haven't seen it, go check it out!

So it's been a bit of a Zooey week this week. Might draw a picture of her, I haven't done a drawing in far too long. Even longer if you consider that I am an art student =/ I am also thinking of making some clothes. It's nice to be inspired.

currently my favourite album

this is what I wore today. except I added a long sleeved black t-shirt under it. It is autumn after all

this is possibly my most favourite picture of her, it's currently my desktop

I love this dress. I may see how adventurous I am feeling in my sewing
