my ultimate summer dress.

I'm surprised it's still on the site, since I was lusting after it a couple of months ago, but I was scrolling through my bookmarked list and found this:

This is the Urban Outfitters reformed open-back dress. It still blows my mind everytime I lay my eyes upon it.

As my attempts to convince my mom into buying anything I've mentioned on this blog and more have failed, I've all but given up hope on this baby. For old time's sake, I'll fruitlessly plead with her- this dress deserves it.

What I did find though, is that this dress comes in another colour. In the ask and answer section, someone posted up a picture of themselves wearing it:

Given that my mom actually says yes, this may turn out to be the most intense dilemma of my entire life.

numlock-esque polyvore.

This is a set I've had up on polyvore for a while, but the NUMLOCK watches I mentioned in my previous post reminded me of it.

This look was inspired by the image included with the set- a lookbook user called Lua P.

the only time i'd appreciate being numb.

Hehe, it's time to take some shameless pride in my hometown. I was browsing the internet (when I should have been writing scene summaries for A View from the Bridge) and came across Numlock.

Numlock is Hong Kong based and they make some lust-worthy watches. I know watches aren't really for everyone - I have friends who love them like A Level exams - but they made me extremely happy.

Here are my favourite watches from the site:

You were wrong.



Stephanie Meyer has returned in full glory with a novella detailing the life of 'Bree Tanner'. I cast back to the days when I dredged through page after page of the four book saga and honestly couldn't remember who the hell she was.

So I did a little research.

In a press release here by USA Today, it makes complete sense that I don't know who the hell this chick is. She was in the book for ten pages, and then died.

I suppose I shouldn't be so judgmental as it hasn't come out yet, but then again, have you read New Moon? Someone out there compared Stephanie Meyer's work to over-glorified fanfiction, and as a fanfiction writer myself, I take great offence to this. There are hundreds of fanfiction writers out there who write miles better than she does- take one look at Annie Christ's Amor Tutti Fa Uguali and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I've read sixth grade work more descriptive and original than hers.

However, I do admire the fact that a part of the proceeds are donated to the Red Cross. Given the hordes of twihards out there, there's probably going to be a pretty hefty donation.

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.

lottery winners.

"The actors you see on the big screen like Keira Knightley? They're the lottery winners. They always have work lined up for them. 92-94% of all actors are either unemployed or working as something other than an actor. It's not easy an easy life. If you want to be an actor, you need to be prepared to stay in dressing rooms that smell like shit, to be able to spread yourself thin amongst casting agents, to be able to perform for audiences of three people and be okay with all of that. You have to be acting because theatre is your life and what you are.

It's the only way it isn't going to break you."
