Shoreditch Graff-graff

Royal Wedding 2011

Ok ok, i know you're all thinking not another wedding nut, to be honest this whole wedding thing for me is a wee bit on the 'overkill' side but meh what can you do.

In the good spirit of jumping on the band-wagon of a good ad idea T-Mobile made this, ENJOY, it's funny:



Watch it, like it, love it :)

Shoreditch Graff-graff

Down an Out

So on my way home from work, I walk to a bus stop in the Shoreditch area and on the way, there’s a gym. So I’ll try and explain this properly so you can get a decent picture - there’s this outside exhaust-type unit, which is about 7/8feet long and when I walk past warm air is always being expelled out of it from the gym, coz they have a pool and other things that give off heat.
So for the past 3 months, two homeless men have made the cubby-hole their home because it’s sheltered at the sides ( but obvs not from above). Well I was walking home yesterday and the gym has now gated/ fenced the space, so now the homeless men can’t sleep there any more. That’s kinda sad, no?

Grrr Bus Drivers.....

Bus drivers in london are all wankers, twats, bastards…whatever really!
Ok so maybe saying all is a wee bit unfair, I would say about 85-90% of bus drivers in London are just such douchebags! Anyone who is half a second…( no lie, I am deadly serious,) half a second late for a bus, the bus driver will just look the over way and then if he can ( coz usually they are just stuck in traffic) …drive away. Even if they are still in the bus lane, if the door is closed and they are in a shit-arse mood, they aint gonna open it!

So I get on the bus at Liverpool street and the bus lane is actually really freaking long, it can fit maybe 4 double deckers, right so when I first started using the route I use, I didn’t no this, so I would wait patiently for the right bus to come along down the bus lane in the queue. So imagine four big bus, they fill with people and then start moving on but my bus is the last in the queue at the back, so instead of running half way down the street ( slight exaggeration but only slight) to get on the bus, I wait until it can be like maybe second in the queue but low-and-behold waiting patient evidently gets you shit. The freaking bus just pulled away- EVEN WITH MY HAND STUCK OUT!!!! But I could do nothing but wait for the next bus which made me late L

Now you maybe laugh ( yes, seeing this can be at times quite funny) but some people dnt take it too well and kick the bus door, curse at the driver… throw a lil spastic fit, whatver really fit their mood.

One friend told me that around north London the bus drivers are the devil. This is because one guy would see a little ol’ man coming for the bus as fast as his little ol’ legs could carry him but the driver would just pull away…… noooooooooooo!!! Oh yes! So now I feel a little bit of happiness when you see someone run for the bus and get it just on time, coz some drivers do re-open the door but probably only coz they got laid the night before. It feels good to see it, as its like saying ‘Up yours’ to all the other bus driver wankers!
Good day to you all on my glorious birthday

Hmmmmm..

Hello people, so as I have mentioned before people try and look sharp and not dishevelled by putting the finishing touches to their face, shoes, hair etc on the train to work and I've heard and read some strange things that people do but this post isnt necessarily about that. Ok so it's about this woman who gets on my train, pretty much every day who has purple..... lol, purple what you say? shoes, hair, clothes? No, PURPLE EYEBROWS! No joke, well they are more like a mauve colour but I mean still c'mon! What they hell is that all about. I think any other woman would be like 'huh' but I think my fellow fashion blogger friend will be particularly mortified! To make matters worse she normally does her make-up on the train and enhances this very strange colour!

Meh? and that is all.

Celebrity Spottage!!!!!

Alexa Chung in All Stars diner, karakoe and bowling in Brick Lane.

Always a bridesmaid never a bride!

Well my life is kinda the opposite at the moment… basically not to blow my own horn(tuut!) but I think I’ll crack the bride thing… at least once but for someone my, 22, I dnt seem to have cracked the bridesmaid thing, it’s not like I wanna be Jane Nichols ( 27 Dresses) but come on!
I have never been a bridesmaid!!!! This may shock some and some may think who gives a toss but what it means for me, is what it should mean for all bridesmaids. I should be loved enough to be ‘honoured’ with the task!!!!! …. No, wait, it should mean that someone who is getting married ( and all the jargon that goes with it) cares about you enough to want you to be by their side as they get married…. Or enslave you, whatever!
Maybe this is because I dnt go to that many weddings, in the past couple of years I have only been to 3 but to my friends who live in either the Mexican or Jordanian versions of the OC, there is an such an abundance of weddings that they are now so used to them. I think they go to at least 1-3 weddings every year!!! WTF!!!! Where are my bloody weddings.
People I have expressed my bridesmaid concern to ( 3 men actually) have said it’s coz of my age and all my friends haven’t started to do the whole wedding thing yet but once they start they wont stop… well I say BRING IT ON!
I love weddings ( not that I’m obsessed with trotting (yes, like a little piggy) down the aisle, I just like them. Like I like flying, like I like babies. I absolutely adore babies and just want to cuddle every single cute ‘Michelin Man’ baby I see but to have my own, I’d rather chew my own foot off….anyway Ill be off to a wedding in early November….excitement is an understatement!

Urban Tales

Ok so the other day I got on the train and see this cutie-pie little blonde 2/3 year old girl who got on with her dad and she was in a genuine state of happiness. I could tell coz she was shrieking in fits of laughter and then her dad pulled faces and tickled her and well she was truly one of the happiest kids I’d ever seen.
So anyway her dad( I know coz she asked her dad for a kiss… too cute!) picked her up from the push-chair and sat her in a seat next to him and then took out a plastic bag and it’s full of plums, you know the organic/market kind. So she starts munching on it while being a train-spotter then her dad asked her where she put the plum pip, she just looked up at him, smiled and then she said, 'I swallowed it!' Lol!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! I was just in hesterics, she wasn’t hurt or alarmed or anything like that, she simply smiled!

So the train journey continued and she just kept eating and eating and there’s me thinking this kid is gonna get diarrhoea (coz that’s what my mum told me if you eat too much fruit and she was only little.) Why is her dad spoiling her so much? He kept saying, 'This is the last one no more,' and then she'd pull the typical ‘daddy’s little girl puppy dog eyes’ and he’d just cave!

Anyway he then said that they were coming to the next stop, so he picked her up and put her back in the push-chair and then the train stopped and the doors opened and he handed the push-chair over to this woman, presumably her mother and the poor little girl just started to ball her little eyes out. She was crying and screaming for her daddy and all he could do was say, 'It’s ok, dnt worry daddy loves you!' It was so sad that it made people in the immediate train area feel awkward, in a sad way for him coz the child was obviously distressed and not wanting to be away from her father. . .

Barghhhh, it was so heartbreaking but what else could he do! I suppose people’s family life is really like this.
It’s a sad ending for a cute happy story!

Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 Campaign

I am IN LOVE with this Louis Vuitton collection!!! It's just so amazing, the colours an d the bags and the SHOESSSS!!! I am in heaven just looking at it.
The Mad Men-esk dresses just embrace the curve and I want all of it. Curves are very this season as shown by the fact that plus size models grace the NY fashion wk catwalks - woo-hoo for them :D
I'm one of those people who love fashion but dnt really wear it.
Anyway if you'd like to see more of this collection google the title or click on the title for a link to a story about the campaign!

Food Fashion

So just as fashion has its seasons,(Spring 2011 trends are currently making NY crazy with fashion week), so does my mind, tummy and taste buds!
So me, I love my food and I mean I love all kinds of food and drink except for kiwis & coca cola ( which is utterly GROSS!!!! So anything with this flavouring, sweets, smells, drinks etc is out, including Pepsi….ick!). I dnt really like oranges or mushrooms or bananas but if I’m having a ‘meh’ moment or they are placed in front of me, I’ll eat them.
Anyway I have realised that I go through these random food cravings aka my food fashion moments - which start sporadically as they end. So they can last for days or weeks then just stop and then I dnt really think about the food anymore, whereas when addicted to the food, I think about it non stop ( well, when thinking of something I fancy eating.)
So firstly, I loved these massive brownies from the vintage clothing store down the road called Paper Dress. Then there was the chicken crystal roll from the Japanese Canteen just shortly before writing this, there was The Penn State cheese ‘n’ chive pretzels and now I’m hooked on Pret’s double cheese and onion skinny popcorn, bargh!!!!!
Also I dnt really eat a lot of chocolate but when I do, it’s been the same one . . . Drifter! Do you reckon this is coz I dnt like change unless I think I’ve found something better or that I just like the taste of it so much I eat shit loads and then get sick of it????
Hmmmmm..
I think it’s probably the latter you know.

Anyway one food I will never tire of are the Hummingbird Bakery red velvet cupcakes, they are my fave, I go mad for them and they will never go out of my food fashion, it's my LBD

Hey Guys,
Here’s Miss Ellie Goulding, the song is called Your Biggest Mistake!
The song is just so amazing!!! It reminds me of someone and the best thing about the song is that ‘your biggest mistake’ could be anything like; leaving a job/ a person/ a relationship/ not taking a chance and regretting it/ pushing people out/ selling something/ not doing something! It could be literally any mistake, enjoy!!!!

Listen to it, Like it, Love it!
:D

Give me my space!

Ok so was out for company softball last night and got a little bit worse for wear, drinking not playing (lol, dnt be daft!)So I wake this morning and have decided that the ‘face’ for the morning shall be the ‘fuck-off-face’! This normally works a treat, as a tried and tested ‘face’ in many a club/bar. However, today my ‘face’ has failed me ‘MISERABLY!!!!!!’ Today people have literally been with in half an inch of my freaking face. The bloodly woman on the train, the couple on the bus, the man in the streeeeeeet!!!!!
No, they did not give me space, they just generally invaded it *angry face*
WTF!!!! I think that I shall now have to adopt my ‘fuck-off-or-ill-stab-you-face’, yes, I do have one of those, no joke…
See if people try sit next to me then!

Which team will you pick?

Helllooooooooo!!!!
Ok so I was told to blogaboutitbtch so I am!
Here is the new marketing campaign from Cadbury's and it’s such a cool idea - apparently my friend said that she’s even more inspired to follow marketing after seeing it! It such a great way to create unity, make new friends and well, eat chocolate while having some fun exercise! So now I'm LOVING it tooooo :D
Also in light of Cadbury's sponsoring the Olympics/ Para-Olympics, it reminds me that yesterday while on the tube, I saw an ad talking about volunteering to work during the games, all I can say it that I'M DOING IT( I’ll let you know more about the site and info later when I volunteer!) Can you imagine all the people, the competitors, it'll be crazy and it would be the first games that I would actually attend!! That excites me! yay!
In the mean time, I leave you with this TV ad from Cadbury’s Spots v Stripes campaign, choose a team!!!! :D

Urban Tales

Sometimes, I look at men and think ‘My God, I just wanna slap you in the face!’
So I was on the train this morning and this typical chubby beer-gut of an English man sits next to me ( yes, indeed I do know this is England, I shouldn’t have been perturbed but I just freakin’ was) All I see is this man sit down and then flip straight to the sports pages of the Metro and well my blood just boiled!!! I was like that’s all you want to read/ look at pictures of!!! All I could see was a foolish looking Lampard (maybe Gerrard) on a bike looking like a t**t. This is why people are stupid!

( This reminds me of Dawn Porter's Lemon Story! – want to read it look here - http://dawnporter.wordpress.com/ )
