Dear Santa....

Please stop saying I am hard to buy for.  It's ridiculous and untrue.  
 
When you are 22,
a month's salary isn't that much.
Upgrade please.

Man-style watch
      
Remember these Santa? Had you have
let me buy them in Germany like I
wanted, we wouldn't be in this mess





Also, anything that includes a plane, a hotel room, a duck-egg blue box with a white ribbon or begins with P and ends with RADA would also be suitable.

The Punch in the Face List

So my friends and I have this thing called the "Punch in the Face List" which is basically a list of famous people that you wouldn't mind socking in the gob, based on their public persona. 

Truth be told, if we were confronted with any of these people we'd all probably ask for a photo and autograph and tell them we are a huge fan. 

Without further ado, may I present my top 5:
#5 Taylor Momson: Oooh yes, you are so rock n roll and hardcore.  Moron.
#4 Gwyneth Paltrow.  Smug, snobby & self-important.  And, Apple?  Really?

#3 Scott Disick.  Not only is he an entitled brat, he's an entitled brat that doesn't appreciate a Kardashian!

#2 Elle MacPherson.  While it pains me to put an Aussie on the list, that wanker accent really kills me

#1 Spencer Pratt.  No explanation necessary
* Hypothetical only, we wouldn't REALLY punch them

Melbourne Cup

Of course everyone knows that the Melbourne Cup has nothing at all to do with horses and planning your outfit is one of the highlights of the fashion year.  This year I went 'high-end' mixed with 'practically found on the side of the road'.
My dress is Prada and therefore almost ended my marriage, so I had to do some creative accessorising.  My jacket was $29 from Target, the turban was $11 from a wig shop and my gloves were part of a $5 magician dress up kit from Go-Lo.  God Bless Halloween.

An outfit like this is worthy of a glamourous venue right?  The Birdcage?  The Ivy?  The Supper Club?

I actually spent the day at our local bowling club and it was FANTASTIC.  No one cut off my drinks, mocked my dancefloor air guitar, charged me more than $4 for a drink or gave a shit when I had take my shoes off.
