Coleurr.

Is a pretty sweet blog by Waudby - a guy from college who randomly knows a few people from the little town of Thirsk. If you like graphics and  BMX-ing then this is one for you :)

EDIT: silly me - forgot the link http://coleurr.wordpress.com/

No time to play with dolls.







Margaux Lange's jewellery is for all of those who still love Barbies as they did when they were children. I think the jewellery is so fun, especially the one with Ken kissing Barbie - it would have pride of place around my neck anyday! However, it is a tad macabre and it kind of reminds me of the kid in Toy Story who chopped all his toys up!! I still love it though.

Back when it all began...












...I was a regular Frankie Fan. If you have never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show then I urge you too, I absolutely love it. Its a crazy musical that pokes fun at itself with a plot line that includes aliens, transvestites, rock 'n' roll groupies and a soon-to-be-married couple. The costumes are outrageous - my favourite is Columbia's (pictured middle) who wears head to toe sequins, glittering tapshoes and baby blue ankle socks :)

Awwwwh.






I found this on one of my favourite websites www.woostercollective.com and I just think its adorable! I love massive works like this, it just looks like a giant has casually doodled it onto the building. The artist is called Roa, he comes from Belgium and from what I've seen loves to create these massive quirky animals!

Tattoo Or Not To?



I can't remember where I found this picture or even who its of, but I really like her tattoo. I've been toying with the idea of getting a feather tattoo for ages then saw this girl's feather and loved the placement - the feather not so much. However, recently I've been thinking about getting some text in a similar placement, high up on my ribs I know its a bit clichĂ© but I've always thought tattoos like that look good. But then I'm not sure what text to get.... decisions decisions....

The Beautiful City Of York.












Me and the boyfriend took these in York a couple of months ago for my Graphics project at college, it was a beautiful morning and the light was just perfect. Matt also turned out to have a surprisingly good eye for photography considering he is the most un-arty person ever!

On a different note - I went for an interview at De Montfort University in Leicester yesterday and they offered me a place! So happy, it's not my first choice but its nice to know that somewhere wants me!

Vogue November 2007
















One of my favourite ever editorials. I love Debbie Harry (aka Blondie)  and her sense of style - and I think Sophie Dahl is absolutely stunning. So combine the two et voilĂ ! Perfect! I think my favourite shot is the cover image, I just love her make-up.  I really like her hair in this, I've always been a fan of bright blonde, I just wish I could get mine all sexy and tousled like hers! Plus although you can definitely  tell she needs her roots doing I think it just adds to the rock n' roll feel of the shoot.
