Things that have made me happy

1) Santa's thoughtful generosity





^Don't judge me on that JLS card- it was a joke, largely a joke...

2) Pulp (and Suede) reforming and watching their Glastonbury set on telly <3
...In a world of Tinie Tempah, Justin Beiber and The Wanted, music needs Jarvis and Bret back now more than ever!

 
^Note the knitted jumper

3) Getting black and white Polaroid film, then finding inspiration in this...



4) Convincing myself that I touched the sleeve of Keith Murray on the 26th of November. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=332011&id=672804950



5) Watching 'Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads' Christmas special- solely encase of any Libertines references... instead I discovered that it's fantastic



6) Collaging my bedroom walls with a variety of magazine cuttings
(Photo available when my camera decides to converse with the computer)



7) The beautiful mysticalness of this photo



8) And finding videos of The Smiths on Top Of The Pops

and ultimately, a photo of Morrissey smiling...

Cycling In The Rain

I'm eating cheerios [they are amazing], looking at old photos of Christams and listening to the Foo Fighters album 'In Your Honour' *Lyric Of The Day: "Dancing on the bones of my dirty past" ..that combination makes me feel rather happy- plus Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins are gorgeous!



Anyway, moving on from that ridiculousness to Nick Grimshaw- I absolutetly adore him, I think he's a complete love, not to mention his wonderfull accent and his friendship with Henry Holland
[Whom I fancy the pants off, even though I know he's gay]



Anyway, whilst listening to Grimmy's excellent interiew with the Klaxons (oioi) I decided to do a bit of Google Image stalking and came across an adorable photo of him riding a woman's vintage bike. I know he may not look his very, very best but how fantastic are his boots and wicker basket!?,,,



So partialy inspired by that beauty, but mainly because I quite fancied an AC/DC album, I decided to cycle to my local library, also in a black and white stripy top-cause I'm so rock n roll- really it's cause 1 CD's only like 98p and three are £1.50- bargain! And I think my lovely bicycle needs more public airing, I do allways feel like I should be transporting ET in the basket though...



So I was happily cycling along by the sea in a retro Damon Albarn style jacket and sparkly shoes, when it started to rain. It got heavier and heavier then pretty soon I realised I was practically stuck in a torrential downpour, not good. I arrived at the calm and quiet library, after having to shamefully push my bike up a very lighty steep 'ramp' in a cocophony of drenched, flustered, fustrated and quite frankly, embarrased mess then having to discretely check my homeless dog type reflection, in the back of a Red Hot Chili Peppers CD for dribbled mascara. Deary me. I decided to stay to try and dry off and wait for the rain to stop- it didn't. So I looked at the September Issue of Vogue, glanced at Q magazine and read an old Nirvana interview. It turned out to be rather enjoyable because there was a cute old lady sheltering from the 'monsoon' who kept giggling at a 'Things That Grumpy Old Men Do' book... and I think I fancy Kate Moss.



After years of hating her I've decided she's amazing at her job, allthough her mouth is allways slightly open, it is a good pose, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a bad photo of her and she's able to make girls want to wear the clothes she does- when she does decide to get dressed- and I can't not mention her spectacular taste in men- Pete Doherty and Johnny Depp <3
She's naturally beautiful, has lovely hair and must be everywhere for a reason.



I can't explain my jelousy. On a final note- Freja Beha is my new favourite model, I just can't get enough. She has a brilliant mouth and I love the way she stares into the camera like a lost child, she is able to make anything look good with her face and hair alone. Basically she's hot stuff!



And after Google Image stalking Pete Dohery, again, I discovered he went out with [or is going out with?] the model Irina Lazareanu, who I have loved for ages just without knowing anything about her, lucky lucky. I really like her innocent and fragileness...



And finally, if any of you like lips, polaroids, friends and bedrooms- your in luck...
Because I found a wonderful website thingy http://bit.ly/9PhBUy
Sorry this blog was so outrageously long! And cheesey.
