I'm bored of taking pictures of me posing like a Lame-O in my bedroom mirror. I Need A Photographer.
I also need a new setting, new scenery. As the weather has been absolutely stupendous recently, I thought I would take a few photos of my Lab outfit out on my balcony. The view is lovely...however, my photography is not! It's a lot harder to take pictures of yourself than I thought!
Balcony View
I look a bit disjointed...head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!
Head, Shoulders
Knees
Toes
Outfit: Vintage Leather Jacket - Sheer Pink Shirt (buttoned to the top) - My Fav High-Waisted Jeans - Orange Sandals
So, if you fancy yourself a photographer, please get in touch! I need you now!
This means War! Although, I will have to wait till she gets her A** back into the country...yep, she's a coward and ran away before I had the chance to make her feel my wrath...^_~
Anyways, I'm getting by...managing with two horrifically mangled nails.
Cue the fakes (that's fake nails FYI).
What I Hate about fakes:
They never match your natural shape, no matter how carefully you file them. There' something about the curvature, the thickness...it's just not as satisfying to paint and then ogle! They are not true Nail Porn! What I Love about fakes:
They cover up what some B**ch ruined!
Yeah...and I'm going to ruin her...face!
Let's put the anger aside though and go to the happy nail painting place. After all the shaping and filing, I had a little bit of fun/polka dot madness (guess which are the fakes).
Off to the Library I went on Sunday morning. Full of the best academic intentions...however, after 2 hours...I had lost all of my scholarly zeal! It wasn't due to a lack of enthusiasm for my subjects (except Ecology...it is just a silly subject) but down to the fact that they switch the heating off during the weekend and the whole Department freezes! Yes, the place gets soooo cold even when we're experiencing these tropical temperatures of +13°C. And my attire, as fabulous as it is, is not suitable for such sub-zero situations. To be honest, it's not really suitable for educational situations, but middle finger up to the rules and regs of academia...!!!
And of course, lest us not forget the all important manicure...
I have named this "The Inverse French Barbie". That is, it is the inverse of the usual french manicure, where the tips are painted pink (Miami by Mavala). For me, this shade of pink is too perfect for words...I've spent far too long admiring my nails. Sometimes, my nails are so distracting, I forget to take my pencil case to lectures and am forced to improvise with liquid eyeliner...suffice to say I do not get very far in note taking!
Life Style Choices
Life Style Choice
The pictures above capture a lecture on life style choices (within the context of medicine). I'm sure if you've ever had the pleasure of reading this blog, you know mine are clear:
Very straight forward indeed. But they did not come to me naturally. I learnt them from my one of my role models - Elle Woods - the woman who proves that cheerleader looks in academia should be de rigueur!
Elle Woods - Legally Blonde 1 & 2
Perhaps, I should rename my manicure in honour of her? Mmm...but anyway, she proves that you can combine style with intelligence and lots and lots of pink. So, my fellow students, what are you waiting for? Stop with those hoodies, badly fitting jeans, and trainers and embrace the inner fashionably fabulous you!
Here is the most perfectly pink heroine to exist! We salute you!
So, on Tuesday the sky was a melancholic shade of grey and it was pouring down with rain and I was hungover. Combine this together and you have the makings of one very sad little girl. So, how do we remedy this situation? Two words:
Teamed with my pseudo-hiking boots and suspender tights = I'm a happy little Rainbow Pony!
Always make sure you limber up before walking several miles in heels...
And, of course, no look would be complete without a manicure. It's probably the quickest one I've done - accent nail (middle finger) in Barry M Grey and other nails in Mavala Adelaide.
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...
Accent Nail in 'Super Orgasm' by Nars
♥ More free Mixtapes - the power of the internet...
♥ More "Lab" inappropriate shoes (and occasionally inappropriate socks/tights)
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!
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?
