outburst //

2012-02-06T19:15:00.000Z

I've probably mentioned my obsession with collecting random images and creating scrapbooks (one day I will do something with all of them). The latest is a selection of explosions. How beautiful is this explosion?! Admittedly a bit photoshopped... but still!

you are so much bigger than me //

2012-01-26T12:02:00.000Z

These pictures are the perfect mix of pretty and creepy. No idea where they are from?! But they are beautiful and kind of remind me of Alice in Wonderland and 'Babydoll' by Hole.

And this, because it's so pretty and stuff...

playing dress up is a normal phase of development //

2012-01-15T12:46:00.001Z

"Playing dress up is a normal phase of development - sometimes the only phase of development."

Daria, punk rock, Bowie and Yoko paper dolls! Amazing! I mean what more could you want than to spend your nights dressing Yoko in a Cibo Matto t-shirt! (Go and watch Cibo Matto here!! You won't regret it. They sing about food. Yes!)
I can't be bothered dressing myself in fun outfits (hence all the black), so I think I'm going to draw my own little paper dolls to dress up in all the mad stuff I'd never wear. If I ever publish a book (unlikely) it would be a book of (crazy, weirdo) paper dolls.

big sissies //

2012-01-09T19:31:00.001Z

So I was looking through Love Buzz and came across Christine's Big Sisses... the weirdest 'lingerie' I have ever seen. I had to post this.

if you're going to try, go all the way //

2012-01-01T16:10:00.000Z

Happy New Year!

As always I am at a loss for words. So, here are some from Bukowski which never fail to inspire me...

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”

folklore //

2011-12-28T14:23:00.000Z

I have been spending too much time on Etsy lately and have come across some lovely little bottles containing enchanted unicorn horns. According to the seller 'when the spell is broken they come back to life'. I like to pretend this is real.

it's a trick of the eye //

2011-12-01T14:07:00.001Z

I'm almost always in black, love horror and my flat is full of skulls... but really I'm just hoping to wake up one day somewhere really pink and girly.

nonsense in general //

2011-11-14T20:12:00.001Z

I miss summer already. I just want to be lying in a field of gigantic daisies, just like the ones in Alice in Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland will forever be a favourite of mine. Always been a fan of Lewis Caroll and his literary nonsense... and nonsense in general I guess. Did Manson ever make his film about Lewis Caroll? I really wanted to see it.

I'll probably spend the winter nights making really tacky stuff like this...

bad religion //

2011-11-09T19:11:00.004Z

Although I’m not religious I have always been interested in religious symbolism. Particularly the cross. Recently this has resulted in me collecting endless religious images that I have come across online. I’m not even sure why I do this. Anyway here are a few.

gore whore //

2011-10-30T19:25:00.005Z

For me Halloween is not about going out to "the club" with the endless array of slutty cats, slutty bunnys, slutty nurses etc etc. Instead it's about staying in, turning the lights out and watching gore movies until the early hours.

electro-chemical impulses //

2011-10-23T10:30:00.005+01:00

Eyes are organs that detect light and convert it to electro-chemical impulses in neurons. I find it really interesting how you can look into someones eyes and see right through them... eyes always give everything away.

fragile as a thought //

2011-10-04T19:29:00.004+01:00

The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. - Chuck Palahniuk

I love this quote. It makes me feel better.

2011-09-19T13:21:00.008+01:00

I saw Marilyn Manson at a festival not too long ago and was a bit disappointed... i guess old school Manson is the best kind of Manson! Still I enjoyed looking at him... he's got far better stylezzz than anyone I know!!

and who knows which is which and who is who //

2011-09-07T19:47:00.005+01:00

For some reason I am always drawn to the dark side...

house is not a home //

2011-09-02T21:05:00.008+01:00

So there is this designer in Glasgow called David Black who is REALLY good! I went to his exhibition last weekend and was blown away by his set, illustrations and designs.

I want to wear this.....
And this.....

And he's got a tumblr here! If you got the time you should check it out!!

2011-08-18T18:53:00.006+01:00

The other night I watched Enter the Void. It is the most trippy shit I have ever seen! Seriously! Warning if you're gonna watch this... you will get dizzy!

swag //

2011-08-13T15:14:00.012+01:00

So here's my custom made t-shirt by the amazing Trails End (check out the shop here!). Also, spot some DEATHx bags which are coming soon (ish).

chaos //

2011-07-27T17:28:00.004+01:00

So last Saturday I went to 'Parrucche's Princess and Queens Fabulous Fashion Parade' (thanks to Evita at Start Pronto for the invite). It was basically a showcase of everything from bridal to burlesque wear with a couple of drag queens thrown in! I took loads of pics but decided I had to post the ones of Helena O'Neill's new collection 'Chaos' because... well basically I have fallen in love with every piece. Oh yeh and how fgood is the model's pink hair??!

all soul, no shoe //

2011-07-13T17:34:00.005+01:00

Platform Cons... yeh I know they're all over the "world wide web" just now but I guess it must be because they're fucking good right!?? I've literally been bouncing about the town in these.

drain you //

2011-07-09T20:25:00.003+01:00

Chew your meat for you. Pass it back and forth. In a passionate kiss. From my mouth to yours. 'cause I like you.

sweet leaf //

2011-07-06T12:52:00.004+01:00

Korean Prada knock-offs and weed socks. Tacky?... yup!

space oddity //

2011-06-14T10:11:00.004+01:00

Just me trying on some glam rock, glitter boots in one of my favourite shops in Glasgow (of course I had to buy them). Can't help but think that i'd be happier if my flat was decorated a bit more like this shop... pink couches, mirrors, parrots, disco balls, all sorts of shit on the walls. Amazing! I could live here!

How much do I need some The Milk of Danzig leathers?!!!

party monster //

2011-04-21T11:26:00.005+01:00

I remember being quite surprised when I found out that the movie Party Monster was based on a true story. It has quite an ending! Anyway, I liked it but mainly because of the mad outfits, Marylin Manson appearance and the fact that Macaulay Culkin is in it. Strangely, I like anything featuring Macaulay Culkin... that Sonic Youth video... and Home Alone... of course!!

2011-04-12T12:28:00.006+01:00

After spending a little too long looking at all the madness on Fantasy Shoes (if you've got time you've got to check out the crazy glam glitter shoe section) I managed to find these babies on ebay for super cheap!! YEEEESSSS!! Yeh I know it's likely that I will break my neck when attempting to walk in these but I guess that's a chance I am willing to take.

here comes the summer //

2011-04-09T11:09:00.006+01:00

Forget about sunglasses, I've been obsessing over these steampunk goggles!! Is it just me or are these awesome?! Even though I know I'd look like a total idiot wearing them, I still can't help but think they are kind of brilliant.

Discovered a little shop that sells crystal and gem charms at 3 for £5!! YES!! Of course I had to stock up. here's a few...

watch out for the weirdos //

2011-03-18T19:46:00.004Z

Is it weird that I still watch this movie and get fashion inspiration from it and also kind of wish I was a teen witch?

i wish, i wish //

2011-03-15T15:48:00.005Z

So I've been making some of these little crosses to put on necklaces and earrings. I love it but really wish it didn't make my flat stink of toxic gases.

2011-03-09T18:56:00.005Z

Yeh this movie is a bit messed up, but it's also brilliant. Gummo is the first Harmony Korine film I ever watched and it is still my favourite. Every still looks like a photograph.

2011-02-26T16:46:00.006Z

Totally cringing thinking about how I ran up to Pam Hogg last night with a camera in hand and stole a picture. She really didn't want her picture taken. So much so she grabbed the camera out of my hand and said "I'll take a picture of you instead!!" Sadly she could not work the camera... but em yeh... I fucking love her!

Here's some more pictures of the (amazing) GFF / ITCOW event. Didn't get too many pics as I got distracted by drinking... eek! The night began with a showing of the Pyuupiru documentary, introduced by Glasgow drag queen Lady Munter, followed by a showcase of Glasgow fashion designers. And there was free stuff from Urban Outitters and Illamasqua.

For lots of cool posts on stuff like this check out Beewaits (a blog by the girl who organised it all).

It was the Start Pronto launch party last night at Make it Glasgow and I popped by to have a look. The place was packed with designs by Glasgow based artists/designers (and also lots of mulled wine! Which I'm really getting into just now in time for Christmas!) Here's a few (em LOTS... got a bit carried away with the camera) pic's to check out...

Coffee and Cigarettes is genius and definately one of my favourite films.

the genius of the crowd //

2010-09-30T16:37:00.007+01:00

Spent the afternoon reading random Bukowski poems. LOVE this quote from 'The Genius of the Crowd'.
Beware the average man the average woman, beware their love, their love is average, seeks average, but there is genius in their hatred, there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you, to kill anybody - Charles Bukowski
