The Du Rag is Back!..

Just at work, just pricing me some galviscon when a striking young fellow strutted into the shop. His ring tone was “Apple bottom jeans boots with the fur…..”

He wore…
red flip flops, white socks, khaki green three quarter length trousers , a red hoody and his crowning glory a white du rag.

I was particularly impressed with the matching of the socks to the du rag and the top to the flip-flops, breaking up the whole red/white ensemble with the green trousers. He bought Head and Shoulders anti dandruff shampoo and Beconaise (because even du rags can get hay fever).

Clearly this marks a trend back toward Hedwig’s early days as Du-rag worshippers. Some people have suggested that a certain Hedwig fashion blogger should retrieve his lost du rag before he gets left behind…..

While i've nothing of worth to say..

I'll continue this trend of flinging pretty pictures at you in the hope you get all distracted.
Okay, so I know she pisses off alotta people and I don't really know about her personal life (or even acting skills) but Sienna Miller dresses hot.
Like, really hot. Not even going into her personal style or anything...she's got some amazing looks down in some of her films. And i get she's not actually dressing herself in these but costume designers don't generally pose for photos so Sienna's what we got.
Alfie and Factory Girl (not even gonna go into Edie, it's a whole other post) are obvi the sixties look, amazing. Then in the Edge of Love she proves she's not a one trick pony with sweet Aran jumpers and 40s chic.
But I didn't need to say all that 'cause basically, looook..










p.s shed a tear for Luella

Her Da loves Ireland

This babe played the Academy last night. It was a sweet little concert that was filled to the brim with Marina and the Diamonds fans. It had a cosy atmosphere, kinda the same as her EP set. This was her first headline gig in Ireland. whayoo! She opened with 'Girls' and ended her set with 'Mowgli's road', before that she played a piano version of that song, after she walked off stage. Us left thinking, "is she coming back?", then BAM! she comes back out to play the faster version of 'Mowgli's road'. Amazing. She sang, danced and had some banter with the crowd. Good times. She also played her new song 'Hollywood infected your Brain', bitta lovely. If you haven't heard her songs check them out on youtube/myspace and if you'd like to follow her around check out her blog.

Ab-so-lute Babes

Stylecrush. The eternal teenagers, Winona Ryder and Zooey Deschanel. These women DO NOT AGE. Case in point, Wino is older than Angelina Jolie i kid you not.
Anyways they're totally sweet style icons and better than you will ever be, may aswell just give up now.
Obseeerve.
And, as if that wasn't enough they're both in a load of awesome films, with awesome cast and awesome directors and they just sit around soaking up each others awesomeness.
Por ejemplo, Edward Scissorhands, The Heathers, Beetlejuice and Girl, Interrupted
And, obvi, her Friends cameo.

Then there's Zooey, sweet tiny indie babe. She's got 500 Days of Summer, Almost Famous, Tin Man and, her raison d'etre, Elf under her belt. 'sides that she's also got an ah mazing voice. She's part of She and Him with M.Ward belting out some sweet tuneskis. (My faves)

You know Whats its Like

YOU really wanted an EP ticket, didnt have the money or job due to your totally shit trinity arts course timetable so you make a deal with the devil; promise to take over from Raymonda. Thats right, clean the house from top to bottom every Saturday till the €245 is paid off. I know, right!

(Every desperate housewife's fantasy)

Don't despair though, here are a few pointers to get you through.

1. Kicking/spreading the dirt around is totally an acceptable form of cleaning

2.Its ok to consider Veeting the dog for all the shedding

3.Using someone's toothbrush is always fun to clean the gross bits, just make sure it actually is someone else's

4.Anything you find is now yours

and finally number 5.

Take before and after pictures to show unsatisfied mammys. Their Catholic guilt will kick in once they've seen the state of the before shots and wont complain. and its quite alright to stage and exaggerate the before photos, just dont get carried away as you'll still have to clean it up.

Have Fun!
