Ask them, I dare you…

…from the Mouthy Housewives blog.

Dear Mouthy Housewives,

My friend has a horrendous cameltoe. No way will I ever tell her, but can you suggest ways that I can put a mutual friend up to it?

Signed,

I See Paris, I See France, Good Grief, Get a Looser Pair of Underpants

Dear Camel Spotter,

Your friend is perpetrating the highest fashion crime of all, yet it’s one so personal that it’s hard to issue a citizen’s arrest. You’re hoping to compel a mutual friend to be the ’straw that breaks the camel’s back,’ but I suspect that if your friend has been allowed to walk around this way, there must be a long list of witnesses who are hoping someone else will take down the camel.

StyleShake

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Can”t make up my mind whether StyleShake is evil or inspired. If you like dressing up, it”s agony putting together one of their dresses as it WILL take you hours…and hours…

AND you can make catty comments (or approving noises) about other people”s designs. Heaven. Hell. You decide!

Alternating Fashion

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

So hey, I confess to a case of fashion schizophrenia…some days I”m Cybergirl, and some days I”m Glamour Girl. Really depends on what mood I”m in, whether the sun is shining, how long I”ve got to get ready to go out…

At the moment I”m going for pinup a little more often, since it”s a look I can work at the office with reasonable success – hah! – but seems to take a lot more hassle to get right.

Is it because Glamour is about the look – whereas Cyber is about the clothes?

I”ve got piles of Cyberdog, Dane 3000, Battery Organic and all those goodies, plus my trusty New Rocks, natch. Seems I can throw almost any of that stuff on, and I”m done – trying to channel Veronica Lake is NOT SO EASY!!

Still to master:
The hair. Oh God, the hair. How d”you get those waves??
Tops & jackets combos – gngh.

Pencil skirts? Check. Polka dots? Check. Cute heels? Check. Vintage accessories? Check.

So I”m getting there. I hope. Maybe one day I too will have a glamour glow…

Personalised postcodes?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Ahh, NewsBiscuit – enlighten us!

Personalised postcodes to include ‘B1G 80Y’ and ‘S3XY 0NE’

In a new plan to generate increased profits, the Royal Mail is to take a leaf out of the DVLA’s vanity licence plate business and enable the public to change ‘functional but drab’ post codes to ones that express their individuality and character through a personalised range. The new customised post code register is to include name-based entries such as J1M5 GAFF, ‘cheeky’ codes such as H0T L1PS or F15T M3, and a range of more discreet codes that pundits have said could be popular with parents keen to avoid difficult questions about how exactly their address falls into the most popular schools’ catchment areas.

This kitteh means business. Watch as she somehow hunts down the camera…without moving! (does she teleport??). So cute. So DAMN CUTE! But also just a tiny bit scary.

Children’s campaigners warn Kinder Surprise eggs ‘too surprising’

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

I love NewsBiscuit.com, I do. Hehehehehhhh…

Click on the picture for the full story!

“A leading children’s charity has issued a stern warning to parents regarding the dangers of Kinder Surprise eggs. A working party report from ‘ChildScare’ concluded that the eggs presented ‘unhealthy levels of suspense and a significant risk of crashing disappointment and emotional scarring.’ There are now calls for all Kinder Eggs to be removed from the shelves until the novelty confectionary has been made safe from the risk of anti-climax-related trauma.”

Steampunk Calling…

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

I found this AMAZING steampunk phone on an American design website – it is just gorgeous. I think it would also compliment a Victorian retro goth-type room as well. It has a hand-crank on the side, and has beautiful engraving – shame that they couldn”t make it a moving dial, but then touch-tone *is* easier for dialling, I suppose!
