sequined skirts, yayy, yayyyy-

This polyvore set is testimony to my obsession with sequined skirts. It also heavily stresses my not-really-creepy-stalker crush on Ezra Koenig, frontman and vocalist of Vampire Weekend. I'd die of joy if Vampire Weekend came to Hong Kong, but that's about as likely as Barcelona shipping themselves over to my house in a heart-shaped box. =(

claudia schiffer, you bitch.

I loved 500 Days of Summer.

It wasn't intensely experimental or abstract, which is what I was expecting from reviews I'd seen previously, and I loved that it wasn't a love story- it was a recovery. I don't think there are enough movies out there that are as poignant as it, and I doubt there are any others out there that have a soundtrack as beastly. [The Temper Trap, WHAT UP?!]

Anyways, I digress. This post mainly revolves around me satiating my hormonal teenage lust in regards to Joseph Gordon Levitt- one of the sexiest men to roam the earth. I found a vintage GQ photoshoot spread from 2008 that featured him and supermodel Claudia Schiffer, and shazaaam, what I wouldn't give to be that woman.

somebody get me a lollipop. (TOP?)

A Korean band called Big Bang have been hired to advertise LG's new Lollipop phone (yes, I do have yellow fever in case you were wondering). Now, while this is old news for people following the Korean music circuit, I watched the music video for 'Lollipop' featuring 2NE1 just recently and was blown away by the blindingly neon outfits. TOP wears a pair of amazing glasses in the video and I went onto google images to try and find a picture of him wearing them, simply because there must be other girls even more obsessed with him than I am.

This failed.

Nevertheless, I did find out that Big Bang released a song called 'Lollipop 2', which totally blew my mind. I watched the video and had a minor mental breakdown.

This is an image of an outfit TOP wears in the video:

After drooling over TOP, please direct your attention to the AMAZING THING ON HIS WRIST.

That is a Toy Car Bracelet. I have capitalised each word because that's what it's actually being marketed as. This particular bracelet was designed by Nic Nat, but there are similar bracelets by 1981 here. His button blazer amazes me to no end, it's fitted so well.

In case you were wondering, yes, he is wearing a Hillary Clinton plushie around his neck. It isn't actually meant to be a necklace, it turns out that what TOP is wearing is a chew toy. Fat Cat Inc. created it so vindictive pet owners could watch their loveable dogs shred their not-so-favourite politicians to shreds. (Do I spy anti-American sentiment?)

In the same video, TOP also wore some crazy ass glasses:


After frantic research, I have found it impossible to place who designed them though. I am now thoroughly depressed. If anyone knows where they come from, please drop a comment and enlighten me. =)

If you noticed that TOP happens to be crushing yet another plushie beneath the Lollipop, it's again a Fat Cat Inc. production- only this time it's Bill Gates.

I wasn't as impressed with the choices for the other Big Bang boys (clearly the stylist was a diehard TOP fan) so I haven't included them. The link to the music video with all the other members' outfits is below this, just in case you're interested.

playtime on polyvore.

i need the ocean, or its sand, or the high that i felt when i first held your hand. by mm-megan featuring Opening Ceremony shoes

So, the sad, sad truth is that I spend most of my time playing on polyvore rather than actually working towards my A Levels. But that's okay. It's not like they're important or anything.

I just thought I'd incorporate those amazing sandals by Opening Ceremony I mentioned here into a set, and show you guys how I'd wear them. I also could not resist throwing in an image of the first generation of Skins, because I finished the first and second season recently and cried like a baby.

And just because I need some eye candy at the moment, here is my object of desire, Joe Dempsie (Chris Miles from Skins):

Honjo Ren

I haven't seen a manga that better captures the complete deterioration of a character than Nana.

Ren has been one of my favourite characters from the start (it helps that he's easy on the eyes) and his story is just too sad. He loves Oosaki Nana so much. I cried so hard when I got to the chapter above; he's just gone from being this confident, kind person to someone so broken and lonely. There's another image I have of him sitting slumped against the locked bathroom door as Reira tries to coax him out, and that made me cry too.

Unfortunately, Nana's on hiatus because Yazawa Ai is sick and can't write until sometime next year. I'm sure there are thousands of people worldwide praying for her recovery; I'm one of them. :)

Ethically wrong.

I'm a volunteer helper at Sunday school and I look after a bunch of eight year old kids, who are bored to death by the classes. They know I understand their plight (having been a student myself for eight years) and so we've got a mutual respect for each other going on.

During mass, I secretly perv on one of the other hot teachers, who, according to Bakhita (one of my students and trusted confidante):

- is divorced
- has two kids
- has angel's wings tattooed on his back

Bakhita knows I think he's smoking hot and when he sat down in the pew in front of us this morning, the both of us started giggling. I had a minor heart attack when he turned around to shake my hand, and then proceeded to smile stunningly at me with those pearly whites and hazel brown eyes.

I really shouldn't be allowed to teach Sunday School.
