Dita Von Teese's powder puff costume

Dita Von Teese's powder puff costume. I love this costume- it is postively absoloutley stunning! i wish i had this dress.

The outfit is completely enchanting, the photography gives the outfit a edge(almost) making it less ballet dancer and more burlesque(which Dita Von Teese is queen of, i think...)

anyway i have to go as i have ,for the 3rd time, tonsilltis...

-Sydney Henderson(the unedited version)-

I went to the V&A last week for a two day course and took loads of photos-can't upload them so i will just upload a few: will upload the rest later...

sorry, my computer isn't letting me upload anymore -___-
will upload them when my computer decides to work.

Feeling rather suicidal...

Jedward (John & Edward from x-factor) have covered 'Teenage Kicks'-The Undertones...
 It's a really horrible cover & they make it sound like electric-pop 'poo'. Hey, why don't you have listen :D ?!

Now listen to the original.

Umm, not trying to hurt John nor Edward's feelings but uh, the Undertones version was so much better...

But to be honest your lipstick song is amazing (!) check it out :D (!)

Hat-Making.

So today I went to London(Oxford St. to be precise) and went to this absolutely wonderful haberdashery. 3 floors of haberdashering-y goodness... Anyway, they were selling these sort of fascinator hats(minus the decorations), it was just the base of a fascinator hat. So i bought a plain black one and some mesh netting in pink and another black. I also have these feathers my dad brought back from Japan so i was going to add some feathers and other bits to it & create my own little fascinator hat - will blog again tomorrow with something interesting.

Hello again-beauty's...

Hello-sorry i have been gone so long...


but you see i am working on a summer project- a secret summer project, so...shhhh.


But while i am here (having teared myself away from...'work', i would like to say:


Have a weeensy peek at my tumblr...


iamhardstaff.tumblr.com






will blog again soon, HONEST!


love you guys(the very few who even bother to look at this) xxxxx

What i wore yesterday.

SHOES:hong kong
SOCKS:primark
DRESS:miss selfridge £10
SHIRT: TOPSHOP £28
JACKET:handmedown.

The Matrix.

Probably the most amazing sci-fi film so far. Although not everyone seems to think so. To be honest I just thought the costumes were cool. I just really like the idea of running around in a leather cape with really small shiny black sunglasses.

Summary;  A computer hacker finds out that his entire life has been a virtual dream, controlled by some computer geeks in the far future. He joins a resistance movement to free humanity from the brainwashed lives they have been living.


Most reviews on the internet say it was actually pretty rubbish but i love sci-fi. Also martial-arts?! Yeah i love that whole martial art thing. I once did self-defence but the lady said i was the most ballelistic mugger ever. Don't really understand how I was the mugger, but whatever.


The Matrix actually freaked me out a bit. For a while i seriously thought our lives were all lies, and that we were being controlled by some crazies. I tried to break free but there was actuallt nothing to break free of. I did that once with the film Spirited Away(that film is disturbing and i still get freaked out when I watch it), you see the mum and dad eat food and they turned into pigs. I thought my Grandma's cooking would turn me into a pig. So I went hungry till my mum made me eat it.


Anyway - If you have seen the film, did you see the lobby scene? Well, you should. Here it is:

So that fight scene is pretty good? I quite like a bit of fighting - this scene is one of the most famous figght scenes ever. And you can tell why. The special effects are great too!

"The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this."

Thanks, Mark Twain for that-

To walk around just in the nude would make us ourselves because not one of us would look the same, but to all walk around in the nude would not make us one in the billions just nothing...

Yes, I think I just confused myself too...

Yet to wear clothes makes us ourselves, each one of us is unique.

Style is to be yourself - to dress as you please, to look like yourself...(even if you are like me and are constantly changing the way you dress). Style is a way of expressing yourself and is a silent way of showing who you are and the type of person you are.

"... society demands more than this." < society demands more of us than to each be the same, as we would be if we were naked. Society wants us to be different is what Mark Twain seemingly implies but is this really what society wants? Society is tough- everyone treats you differently if you look different. If your not one of the billions who look the same your an outcast. On the other hand many people in London have decided they want to be different... but to be honest they look more the same than ever. In their half-hearted bid to be different they all followed the same trend of to be different.

I have confused myself too as now my mind is full of things that are incredibly befuddling.

Which is very good.

As now i won't run out of thing to think.

ALSO,

this blog was pointless...

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD.

Vivienne Westwood is my idol :) shes proud to be herself and she just inspires me. She is someone who makes me want to work hard to get to where I want to be. She takes risks, starts trends, and does what she wants. She is fearless and that is something I aspire to be. Her designs are always interesting and rebellious in a way. I love how she gets inspiration from historical costumes.








Now, i am seriously busy :L I am working on a novel. Yes, a N O V E L. And its so hard to get everything in my head onto paper>>>

Tests :L

Sorry this has to be quick i have so much revising to do :'(((

so it was my birthday and my amazing dad got me this amazing top.



I can't find the picture so i will take a picture of me wearing it laterss.


I LOVE VIVIENNE WESTWOOD soo much, but 12 ( i mean thirteen) year olds don't have that much money.

sunglasses

I got these really nice sory of ray ban style sunglasses from primark £2 each.

Bargain.

I couldn't decide which colour i liked so i just bought the mint green ones and cream ones.

sorry i have revising to do now :0

P.S. I won't be able to blog for a while cause i have exams :(

DECK TRAINERS.

I love these TOPSHOP Deck Trainers (thay are on my birthday wishlist ;) )

They are so comfy and would look really cool with my chinos or my high waisted shorts and shirt...
So here they are:

There is only one thing to blog about today...

and that is...

Kate & Wills' Wedding.

Kate Middleton's wedding dress was designed by head designer at Alexander McQueen, Sarah Burton. The train measured six feet, the dress was made from ivory and white satin gazar. The ivory satin bodice was a trademark Alexander McQueen design.

The veil was long and sheer yet modern it was made from layers of ivory silk tule with a trim of hand embroidered flowers, embroidered by The Royal School Of Needlework. The design was said to have been exactly what she had wanted.
Her dream dress was to....
"combine tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterises Alexander McQueen's work. Miss Middleton worked closely with Sarah Burton in formulating the design of her dress."

I think the dress looked stunning on her and was perfect. She did look really beautiful walking down the aisle, I mean she wore a Cartier 'halo' tiara lent to her by the Queen. You must feel beautiful in that.

Skiing.

Hii, just got back from skiing and I am so tired :0

I LOVE SKIING.

it is the one sport on the face of the planet that i haven't (yet) failed epically at! Anyway I have these super amazing moon boots for the snow, although thinking about it now i didn't actually need them because it was actually not snowy and quite warm unless you were in the mountains where it was actually still kind of warm...

But I love them: MOONBOOTS

I bought a ski jacket from, to be honest not a place i have ever shopped at in my life, ROXY which I actually adore because it is a brightly checkered snow board jacket. Some people thought my jacket was hilarious because I looked minute when I had the jacket on ;I
Here is my ski coat:

I had a really great time skiing and have giant goggle marks which are really prominent but altogether I had a really great time (: 

Sorry I haven't blogged but i don't think anyone actually cares as i am most probably talking to myself. So, tommorow I leave for skiing so tonight I will upload a picture of my amazing moon boots and extremely noticable ski-jacket, wich i love. I will take some pictures while I am skiing too.

So, byebye....

Nelly Duff

Nelly Duff is a contemporary art shop at the foot of Columbia Road market, East end of London. They work with The Toaster and people such as Ben Eine also with many other recognised artists. Nelly Duff i also cockney rhyming slang for "life". Nelly Duff is run by Jessie Dyer and Cassius Colman.
I absolutely love scrolling through the art work, because I find the work they display and sell thought provoking and individual.
I love individual things. For instance at school on Red Nose Day 'decorated' my face and by lunch everyone had 'decorated' their face just like me >:L. So next time it's own clothes I am so going in fancy dress.


ANYWAY, you should definitely check out the work they display on the site and in store. I love it and it inspires me :)

check it outt.

Check out my other blog, the secret second life of a daydreamer!

Would mean a lot to me if people saw my creative work, thanks.

You can visit it by looking at my profile.

blog again sooon, sorry i havent been blogging much but schoolwork is weighing down my life. :(

Japan Earthquake&Tsunami 2011.

The tsunami and earthquake in Japan has been treacherous. Many charities have been giving and asking for our donations, online a user called 'nighiga' has donated to red cross japan tsunami appeal. For every car honk he got by holding his sign he donated $10 and came into the grand total of $600 and fore every 1,000,000 views another $600.

http://www.youtube.com/user/nigahiga?feature=chclk < click here to watch the video.

"On March 11, a 9.0 earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Japan near the city of Sendai. The earthquake generated a massive tsunami with waves as high as 30 feet, immediately resulting in floods, fires and the closure of airports and transit systems. Thousands of people are either dead or missing, and homes, fields and towns have been destroyed by flooding."

I am half Chinese and half English, currently my Grandparent's are in Hong Kong and my family out there and everyone in Hong Kong have been helping out hugely.

This event is horrible, but all we can do is try to help. We should not feel we should help we should feel obligated to help. 

I and my family have donated a lot of money and tried to help as much as we can.

So please give to the Japan Tsunami appleal, charities all around the world are working hard to raise money. So do anything else you can do to help!

POP

It's the 'FRUIT&NUT' issue, wearing feathers from Samba Couture and photographed by Adam Broomsberg & Oliver Chanarin.
