It's ballet's moment...

Apparently thanks to Natalie Portman's new movie, ballet-style is en-pointe right now (that lame ballet metaphor is so bad it's good).  

Ballet flats have been around for ages, top knots are currently the hottest hairstyle, maxi skirts have a whiff of ballet about them and we've even had a brief affair with leg warmers so it makes sense.

Always one to jump on board a trend, I of course, have a tutu.  Or make that HAD a tutu.

I wore it to a close friend/relative's birthday party on a property in the country which accidentally ended up going for the 3 days.  The tutu was such a hit that a number of people insisted on wearing it over this time, including the 60 year old birthday boy. 

Needless to say it didn't make it out of that party alive.   Which is probably a good thing as I always felt like one of those dancing baby elephants....

The only non-boring Vogue editor resigns

Such a bummer (approved fashion word) that Carine Roitfeld resigned from French Vogue on Friday.

Back to yawning through the boring offerings from Kirstie Clements and Anna Wintour.  Not that I could actually read the French one, but it was pretty to look at - fun and sexy, especially in comparison to the minimalist Australia and American versions.


Can you imagine Anna Wintour wearing this?

Boo.

Merry Christmas from the Kardashians

It's no secret that I love me some Kardashians.

But was there any need for this? 

All it makes me want to do is punch my family for not being as good looking as these people.

Reason #241 Why I love America

All the important landmarks are within a few blocks of each other.  See below:

Getting the respect they deserve.  Now excuse me while I travel back to the present. 

I'm back. 

I kept the big hair and leopard print.

Freshwater Blue

This is one hell of a hot mess.

It's being billed as Australia's answer to the Hills, but last time I checked the Hills did not involve 12 bogans drinking Raspberry Cruisers and being fully 'hectic'.  Their word, not mine.   

Hey, don't get me wrong - I love a reality monstrosity and the Jersey Shore, RuPaul's Drag Race and the Kardashians are all series linked on my Foxtel IQ, so I'm not coming from a moral high ground. 

I sat through the first 2 episodes back to back with my hands over my face.  I kept waiting for Kath or Kim or even Con the Fruiterer to jump out of the bushes and give it up - surely it's a piss-take?

Let's hear from the Creator: "...it's real life decisions with alcohol and bikinis".   Poignant. 

I never thought of the Hills as intelligent, but next to this it looks like Lateline.
