My hair is a fuzz of tangles
room smells like hairspray
bobby pins on the floor
If you pull together four young fashion designers, a month and a half of choreography, twenty young lads and ladies strutting their stuff (slash gliding ethereally) down the catwalk, and some really lovely dresses and suits, you have yourself the INNER WEST RUNWAY.

Over the last few weeks
I've been lucky enough to find out what a catwalk operation looks like from the inside. In a nutshell, it starts off with the call for designers (apparently like 50 chicks applied, and.. not so many dudes. four designers were picked, one of whom was our guy. his name is aidan and his work takes my breath away), then a day of auditions for models, then the fitting (think gorgeous purple dress with bunched sleeves and silver beads) and then a bunch of rehearsal walks. for these the models do a lot of sitting around waiting for your turn with the flamboyant choreographer dude, and there's lots of time to talk, with ambient catwalk soundtracks playing in the background. Interesting fact - out of the six models in our set, three of them are studying music (vocals)

Today I learnt that... my hair is a bitch to tease / put up / muss up
the groovy filo hairdresser chick called it "virgin hair" coz it hasn't been dyed, and it's pretty thick and straight. she put twenty something of her biggest bobby pins in my hair and then let loose with like three different cans of hair spray (my friend, whose hair ended up equally as stiff as mine, quipped - strong hold, super strong hold, extra super strong hold)
Actually I was secretly happy about it all because it meant she spent like half an hour with her hands in my hair, messing it around and pinning it up. ahah felt so pampered.

I can't even type in proper sentences anymore. thank you gossip girl. addicted to gossip girl. this brings with it side effects like a burning desire to go live in new york upper east side for six months. another (less cool) side effect is not getting enough sleep. oh panda eyes. Oh gossip girl. I now understand why people say GG when good things happen

Yeah
What else do I love? I love you guyses blogs
is the only reason I'm inspired enough to update my own poor neglected foodchaser (with random nonsense it seems BUT THAT'S WHY THERE IS A LINK LIST TO THE LEFT. WHICH I HAVE PARTIALLY UPDATED WITH MY NEW LOVES BY THE WAY =)

What else have I been up to
Work experiencing with my super smart super patient cousin
Surf and sunshine, nutella and crunchy nut cereal at Copacabana with my crazy baccs
Foodblogger's christmas picnic was awesome, shoutout to the organisers and the other awesome food bloggers I met there oh and everyone else who was not there =( I have photos but... they're.. somewhere... (story of my life)

These days I'm spending most of my time
Doodling pictures of icecubes to try and stay cool
Lying on the bed with the door closed pretending to be doing useful things (like drawing things besides icecubes) when really doing nothing (except drawing icecubes)
Eating nutrigrain with kimchi (wishing it was crunchy nut cereal with pineapple hahaha)
Drinking green milk (aka pandan soya milk)
sampling sushi, at various sushi shops around sydney

Otherwise
Waiting to start full time work at EY... about 20 days of holidays left. Gotta head to the post office tomorrow to pick up my contract
Finale fashion walk tomorrow at fraser studios
Applying for international exchange! London! New york! San francisco! Paris! Vienna! FAR OUT I WANT TO GO EVERYWHERE. but london the most =) thank god my WAM did not drop too much

Although priority numero uno is
Find an evening/weekend job. need to start earning cash to start saving cash... so I can afford to eat when I go to london next year. 20 pounds for lunch means 40 australian dollars means grace might be living off a can of baked beans each day instead of discovering london's restaurant scene :[
plus a girl can't go to london and not go shopping in soho square
(soho square! do you see the stars in my eyes)
Also need to save up for an mp3 player coz nano broke down and can't survive without le music. Want an ipod touch but I think I'm a touch too pov... gonna have to wait til they drop to $100 (hey it can happen I saw harry potter 7 for $12.50 at the shops the other day)

Yeah
that's me. I hope you guys are all healthy hip hoppy and happy! You know, everyone should start a blog. coz really, I don't know much about what's happening with you unless we talk in real life OR you have a blog (anyone who mumbles twitter will be shot)

Okay 44 minutes should have passed so it's back to gossip girl
Time delays on streaming episodes are lame

Still can't type in proper sentences
COME BACK, BLOGGING MOJO

anyway here is a token photograph, yeah sorry for all the text
