I Spy...101 Dalmations

Today we posed for Harpers Bazaar in a shoot for Romance was born

We were told to dress up as a Dalmation and come as our crazy selfs

They had 101 "Real People" dressed as their own interpretation of a Dalmatian and then a dozen Models that were topless and wearing G strings with full White Body paint and black spots

Rachel Taylor was the model and was dressed as cruella devil. She looked amazing with her red fake nails, cigarette holder, Chanel shopping bag and

dress made by Ana and Luke of Romance was born made from garbage bags and duct tape.

The photos turned out amazing with confetti and black and white combined with the antiquity of the State Theatre.

The photos will be featured in the April Issue of Harpers Bazaar.

so ch-ch-check it out!

and one of the best parts of the day

drum roll

Mathew Newton was just lingering around the shoot and had numerous smoke breaks out back

I spy.. Lists of lists

Today i did a lot of running around.

Getting passport stuff. I got a new passport photo which looks as bad as the last. Something i swore would not happen. And got all the papers.

I'm starting to get super excited about New York now that everything is happening.

I'm booking Flights tomorrow night which means its all official.

all thats left to do is make a list of all the things i want to buy.

Which wont take long.

I also got a new Moleskine and already started doodling in it.

I wanted a 2010 planner but they had sold out which sucks.

tomorrow I'm having lunch in Surry hills with my friend Laura which should be a hoot

its meant to rain heaps which means i wont feel guilty about not being at the beach

I'm also redoing my room which makes ida interiors and inspiration my favorite blog

 http://idakronberg.blogspot.com/

I've got a list of ikea candle holders, vases and pot plants that i want

I also love the ceramic goods at the MCA store

my favorites being a gun vase and deer plate

Started reading Atonement. It is simply amazing. The execution of its sentences make the book compellingly delicate.

I spy... red velvet

Transcending Time

I love velvet. preferably navy blue because red clashes with the hair. i am eying a particular black velvet dress at the moment. Im taking mum to get it for me this weekend. Its just straight, tight with a lowish back and quite resonably priced. 

Very excited

Book books books books books

I started writing a children's book this morning.. when at 6 o'clock i realized i was no nearer to falling back to sleep.

The book is about a boy who plays with lego until a late age and grows to build bigger real buildings

I'm thinking little french boy who wears a beret and dreams his lego buildings will one day turn into the eiffel tower

 its meant to be an inspirational tale

much like where the wild things are

however i think it needs much work until i compare the two

the illustrations work like a one of those books you flip really fast to see the moving image

which is a bit exciting

I'm driving down to Melbourne tomorrow morning with the fam

which means a lot of stopping for McDonalds

A plan which doesn't fit with my new diet... sadly

It does give me a lot of time to re-read The Picture of dorian Gray and Dracula which are two of the extension english texts for next year

and also happen to be two of my favorite books

I dont think i'll be doing much blogging in Melbourne

due to an inundation of family members, shopping and lack of internet connection

soo... Merry X-mas 

hope Santa is generous to all !

Costumes / X-MAS / Style

I was shopping not too long ago and found an amazing costume/novelty store

the location of the store is a secret

but it has the most awesome things

Clown shoes, Skeleton costumes, Elton John Glasses,

Fake blood and Piercings

It's a little slice of Gold

Rosie and myself got our friend Molly a breakfast at Tiffany's cigarette holder

which was a bit cool.

X-mas is in 3 days and I'm going down to Melbourne in 2 on Christmas Eve

I still have so much to do,

I need to Finish shopping for my brothers present, buy film, get myself something special to wear on christmas

I was thinking either my backless Camilla and Marc or black Scanlan and Theodore

but i am undecided

I'm going to New York in 6 months and already have a massive list of things i want to get

Urban Outfitters, Top Shop, Zara,

I love Filippa Berg's outfits below

the inspiration for Lover's Scared hearts collection

She has a pretty cool blog too...

if you can read Swedish.. i just like looking at all the pretty pictures

How to rip tights like a pro

Get a whole load of sick tattoos

Wear leather on top of leather 

Plenty of accessories and an edgy clothing label

Its the Erin Wasson way

Four days until X-mas

On the eighth day of Christmas, 

my true love sent to me 

Eight maids a-milking, 

Seven swans a-swimming, 

Six geese a-laying, 

Five golden rings, 

Four calling birds, 

Three French hens, 

Two turtle doves, 

And a partridge in a pear tree. 

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! i  opened my early X-mas present today, and am now the owner of a Dina F+ Camera.

I've been hysterically running around the house with it attached to my hand all night trying to fins something to photograph.

With my highly shy  ( not to mention un-photogenic ) family i was left to take photos of the garden and my doll house

they wreak of inexperience

hopefully i'll get better.. seeing as though i've read the manual cover to cover

I went to Fitness First this morning to have my introductory class

I'm tres excited to start burning the calories

X-mas X-mas X-mas

what else does anybody have on their mine?

besides my new camera i am in awe of some of Bill Henson's new shots he was commissioned to take by Scanlan and Theodore for their 10th Anniversary

The girl is stunning, much like Henson's other subjects
