Hello Kitty for Dr Marten's. Yes Please.

I was told recently that I am suffering from a ‘case of Benjamin Button’. Not only do I seem to appear younger with each birthday (I have been ID’d further than ever, and have more of a baby face then I did when I was 16) but also I cant seem to give up my childhood sweethearts. No, no Jared Leto, the ‘My So Called Life’ dream-boat, but the Sanrio characters - In particular my fanatical love of Hello Kitty. I have been following Sanrio fanatically this year due to its 50th anniversary, trying to collect all anniversary material and such like. You can imagine my joy, when I heard that in July their collaboration with Dr Marten’s will be hitting the stores. The three piece collection is sure to be a sell out….I just hope I get my mitts on them before they are gone.

The whole concept is rad, I love the idea of Hello Kitty crossing over with the grungey punk style of the 80's. I cant quite decide between the black or white pair. I love them both - I just wish they weren't coming out during the summer season. I guess I will just have to team them up with a cute vintage floral dress from Urban Outfitters and these Emmanuelle Khanh sunglasses available at Net-a-porter.

I would give up Saturday night drinking for Sunday morning rides on this.

I have a piggy bank bursting with pennies for a new bicycle (one with a basket of course.) I have my eye on a Nirve Cruiser that is well within budget...then I clapped my eyes on this fine-looking piece of machinery.

Oooh to be riding this around the lush green suburbanises of Harrow to meet my boyfriend with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and deli sandwiches, wrapped in red and white gingham whilst listening to Tariko on my Walkman.

 

Even this pink vintage beauty is amazing. It inspires me to copy write the brand name and have it personalised onto a pair of chunky gold plated bamboo ‘chavtastic’ hoops.

Err....Someone sack the advertising department

I just saw this poster for 50 Cent's new 'bad ass' movie. I really think the wardrobe department hit the nail on the head. Tilted wooley hat - check. Two massive guns - check. Sleevless bodywarmer - check. Im sure this is going to be a box office smash! Only thing is why does isnt it called 'GUN'S' (their is obviously more than one) and MORE importantly where is poor Val Kilmer. Obviously didnt cut it for this poster Val. Poor show.

Ke$ha crashes on SNL

I have heard Ke$ha's fan base being compared to Marmite - you love her or hate her. Even though I am known to sing along to a few of her songs, I think its more people that hate her, and people that see the irony in her whole act. Not on best form on SNL - in fact she blew. Some say the worst vocals so far on such a prestigious and well respected show. Poor K! Especially after all the effort to look like an amalgamation of - 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert', 'Lion King' and an old Boy George music video. Maybe the Jack Daniels infused mouthwash isn’t great on the old larynx.

Creepy idea?

Twilight has definitely produced some of the most hardcore, die hard fans I have ever seen for a movie series. Beyond that of the Harry Potter and Star Wars. Nearly all of my friends from different walks of life and interests fell in love automatically. I am not an avid fan. -I really enjoyed the films and would enjoy watching them again, but I think that's as far as it goes. I have been told reading the books would totally change my mind, I just don't have the time in between magazines and comic books. I'm sure that says a lot more about me. Anyway, today I stumbled across a new Twilight related product for those who really cant get enough. The Manllow is half dummy, half pillow. You can get one and cuddle up with Edward and Jacob all night long. I find them rather creepy - they also remind me of those weird dolls you get to put in your car when you are scared to drive alone. Alas, if twilight floats your boat then eat your heart out. Available on Etsy as of now!
