And another year begins...

What are your New Year's Resolutions?  A question I abhor.  You don't need to wait until the beginning of the year to try/do/be something, or somewhere  new - do it as soon as the feeling takes you.  This is how I try to live, although I should admit that I'm not the greatest role model.  I'm far from consistent and am prone to whims - I've attempted to be a musician, linguist and scientist all within a decade.  I'm not doing too badly though...

With that in mind, this is what I'm planning to do (well, I'm actually doing it right now because I can't wait for midnight on 31/12/2011 to live my life):

♥ More NA!L Porn - more effects and more accent nails...

Kelow - LOUD

Justin W. - Something I said

Miko Miko Bang - Get Back

            ♫ Das Racist

            ♫ Iggy, Iggy Iggy...Azalea

♥ Go to California...I miss you so much!!!!!!!!

The Golden Gate Bridge

Leopard Pumps

Jeffrey Campbell L.A.

Yes, I'm a homing beacon for Leopard Print!


Psychedelic Tights

Suspender Tights (almost Old Skool)

As Coco Chanel famously stated, "There are no ugly women in the world, just lazy ones".  So, go grab life by the boobs...(much nicer than grabbing it by the balls) and do what you want to NOW!  Whether it's fashion related or not...stop being lazy and waiting till a clock/calender tells you should do something!

That's what being a scientist is all about...

Oh, Futurama!  Could you phrase this anymore perfectly?


So, does it follow that if one studies science, one is a magical elf?  YAY!!!  I've always wanted to be a magical elf...well, actually, I'd prefer to be a Rainbow Pony...a slightly evil Rainbow Pony...go on, click!




To conclude this debate on the magical elf qualities of us scientists, I shall leave you with this decisive video clip.

A Very Kardashian Kristmas...God I hope Not!

The house and tree are decorated, the goose is stuffed, the Christmas ham is cooked, the alcohol-drenched Christmas cake is baked, all the presents are bought and wrapped - but not placed under the tree for fear of Madame Suki chewing them to shreds.  I'll leave her to play with her snowman!

Suki & The Snowman


But the most arduous task of the season has yet to completed...the Christmas Day outfit and matching manicure!  I am somewhat limited by the traditional Xmas colour scheme - blue is most definitely out.  BTW, can someone let Kris Jenner know that.  If you haven't had the misfortune of seeing the Kardashian Family Christmas Card Photo, well I'm forcing it upon you now!  Oh, my Dear Lord!  Christmas aquamarine, wrong on too many levels!

Just Bloody Awful

But back to me, me, me...aside from the limiting colour scheme, I'm also limited by what is acceptable in front of the grandparents.  One grandmother told me the other day miniskirts are no longer appropriate attire for me as "I'm knocking on a bit!" Yeah, cheers for that Nan!  So, short skirts and suspender tights are out...sad face!  :(  What are we left with then?

Hang on a minute...what am I talking about?  When do I ever conform?  I'm pretty sure the Lab Health&Safety Guide states, "Strictly no hot pants and killer heels in the Lab and/or near Science Geeks" but do I care?  No!  If I don't dress appropriately everyday then why should Christmas be any different?  So, Bah Humbug to Festive Fashion Rules.  Although, I hasten to add you will not see me in blue/aquamarine/turquoise.

Here are my choices:

Pink & Leopard - it could be a bit WAG-like but the resveratrol necklace counteracts that...I think?!


Black on Black on Black - a little morose, but add a Chanel belt and BOOM!

Palazzo Pants - Extravagant

Kanye would be proud

Jeans, aren't they blue?  Yes, but denim blue, not sparkling aquamarine.  Therefore, jeans are okay on Christmas day!



Pearl Baubles

On the 1st/2nd/3rd... Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, two Gold Legs (i.e. a pair of gold tights) and a pair of stripper heels - slightly festive, oui ou non?


So shiny I could sit on top of the Tree

That's enough outfits, I think.  Now for some nail fun, although I haven't really strayed away from the traditional Christmas colour scheme (keepin' it real).


I doubt that this manicure will match any of my potential outfits.  The problem with conventional nail polish is the time it takes...two coats of base, two coats of colour and one of top coat to seal...then dry (with a high power blowdryer)!  So, once you start painting you are fully committed!  I'm thinking January will be the month to invest in some Inkredibles (Marian Newman)...water based nail varnish that dries in seconds and can be used on eyes, lips and cheeks...multitasking spectacular!

So there you have it, Christmas fashion that doesn't give a f**k!  And here's wishing you an equally eccentric, beautifully fashionable Christmas! (and I also wish you never have the misfortune of wearing aquamarine!)

Dear Santa, I know I haven't been a good girl this year but...

I want, I want, I want...

Tattoo tights:

Jean-Paul Gaultier S/S 2012

Which leads me to...Heel-less Heels:

As seen above and below in wonderful glory!

Nicholas Kirkwood for Gareth Pugh

Yeah, old skool, circa 2008, I know...but this is such incredible shoe architecture I hope this trend that never disappears...I like to mess with gravity's/my own/everyone's mind...

Jeffrey Campbell 'night walker'

But Santa don't forget...yummy make-up:

Coca-Cola Lip Balm



Nars cosmetics

Go Cinderella, go Cinderella! Orgasm blush, lipstick and concealer.

And never forget...Hot men:




Drake 

Not only is Drake Delicious but he understands the important things in a woman's life, such as good hair, amazing manicures, killer heels, and flawless make-up (Nars reference@3.30mins of the song above).  Love him...but if I HAD to choose ONLY ONE man that could be delivered to me on Christmas day (wrapped only in a bow)...well, you know who it would be...

...Mr Vengeance





Yum Yum Yum...


Merry Christmas Everybody!  Hope Father Christmas brings all that you wish for!

Does this count as work?

Cambs Uni students are notorious for never telling the truth about the amount of work they're doing - apparently everyone is procrastinating.

Classic statements include:

"I'm so behind on all the reading", "I haven't been to any lectures this term", "I haven't written any essays", "I really don't know what the lecturer is going on about", "I haven't been to any supervisions, ever", "I don't even know where the library is!"

This "too cool for school" attitude is further supported by lame excuses, such as "formal hall swap obsession" and a life time pass to Cindies/Life.

Seriously, who are you kidding?  We all know you're living in the library or hanging out in the Lab with your Gilson and Eppendorf friends!  Don't get me wrong - it's cute - and you should keep that up - it'll get you that 1st and that PhD.  But you don't really know the meaning of procrastination...

Basically, you ain't got shit on me...

Above is a lesson in how to make notes on a paper on a train after spending the day in London Town with a bunch of City PR guys and an awesome music lawyer.  I'm attempting to read this paper only out of guilt for my fun day of procrastination.

Nail Porn - forever the most fun way to waste time



Remember to always have some free time in between studying, so bake...with Whisky...


They say you should always keep your desk tidy and clutter free so as to maintain a peaceful work environment that will aid your study.

Whatevs...This is how I role.




But my favourite way to procrastinate is:  Day-dreaming about my California

Cheerleader Look Two Times (#4 & #5)

Is it too much to 'werk' two looks in one day?  Well, I don't really care if it is 'coz I did it anyway.

#4:


Check out the T-shirt - Want Disturbia


#5:





So, there we have it.  One day, two looks!  As for nails...well, I went with an Christmasy theme:

Hello Nail$:  OTT, I know.  But what the hell?



On another note, I'm thinking that "Cheerleader Looks" is no longer an appropriate title for my Lab outfits.  I've had several comments recently on the way people perceive me in the department and "intimidating" is the most common word I've heard.  That's apparently why so few people talk to me.  So, maybe "Bad Ass Bitch Looks" is more relevant.  I'll work the clothes and the attitude.  Or maybe all you science geeks can grow a pair and act more like real men!  Ha...who am I kidding?
