Mini-Post - An Amazing Song

Being from the hippie boondocks of the mountains behind byron bay, I'd heard of Katie Noonan before. I was vaguely watching television just now, and this came on.

It's pretty. It's pink. It's cat.

My sister and I did something awesome today. We went to the hairdresser's.

Now, I love the hairdresser. I love getting to have my hair looked after and my colour tweaked. My sister and I had a GREAT time and we were there four and a half hours. I got my roots done and she got a treatment, and we both got temporary colours.

Mine is Special Effects dye from goodgoth. My sister's is this Manic Panic classic cream from Tragic Beautiful.


Here are the results - first, my sister.


Cotton candy! My sister rates it 7/10, as it's several-toned, but we suspect it was the hairdresser's fault and also that her hair is extremely porous. She would recommend it!

And here's mine. :D


It's not the best picture, but it's darker than my sister's. It's the shade "cupcake pink" and, although it's different to the advertised colour, I adore it! My hair is damaged, though, so it didn't stick in all places, but again it's possibly the hairdresser's fault. Oh well! I rate this 9/10 and highly recommend it!

As a bonus, here's a picture of Cully when he was a very small fuzzy.


Much love!

Anyone else going to the Motherland Gig on friday in Marrickville?

Makeup from Boredom

I slept most of the day and as such, I am up late. I'm going to the hair dresser's tomorrow, and out on friday night. I will probably use this look for then, but with cupcake pink hair instead. ;3

WARNING: i'm not wearing foundation, so I look horrible, and I'm not dressed up either.




Nothing too much, but I want to have some great lipstick action on the night. :3

much love for the non-post readers.

QUESTION MAJIG

From Tenebris!

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4 and write the sentence here: " "Young Edward thinks that there is no lake of  blood too big to wade through to put a rightful king on a throne, no deed too base in defense of a crown." " Terry Pratchett's Men at Arms
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What’s there? The wall and a picture of my kitty Delilah when she was a baby.
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV? Uhhh, I think the last thing I watched for the sake of watching it was SVU, I vaguely watched something last night while I was eating but not really.
4. Without looking, guess what time it is: Quarter to six?
5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time? 5:40pm
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? I'm playing music on the DVD player's USB slot. So I Am Ghost's Pretty People Never Lie, Vampires Never Really Die. I said I like this band...
7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing? Went down to the shop being the internet was dicking out, sat in the sun, had a milkshake, some doughnuts and read my book.
8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at? Pokefarm.org. 83
9. What are you wearing? velvet purple skirt, black shirt, a pink and black sock, a red and black sock and my flaccid dirty flanno jacket.
10. Did you dream last night? I didn't sleep deep enough to go into a dream. I just kind of flailed about and vaguely hallucinated about coloured dust (i hallucinate too much)
11. When did you last laugh? While reading my book this afternoon.
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in? A lot of photographs and a few drawings and other random bits.
13. Seen anything weird lately? My cat Ridcully flailing around by himself on the deck. XD
14. What is the last film you saw? I watched Terry Pratchett's Going Postal which is technically a two-part TV series but fuck you. But I also watched The Wild Thornberries Movie and Ella Enchanted.
15. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy? A cottage and some clothes. 
16. Tell me something about you that I don’t know.  I have a dog. His name's Dude. Most people do not know this. x3 he lives at my dad's place.



17. If you could change one thing about the world, what would you change? I'd probably get rid of any urge to be cruel. Some kind of hippie-dippy shit, anyway.
18. Do you like to dance? I do, but because of my hip, my uncoordinated flailing can end in a dislocated joint.
19. What do you think of the president? Which one? 8>
20. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? Lucy Diamond. 8>
21. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him? It's torn between Samuel Vimes and William Felix Mortimer. I figure I'm going to traumatise my kids with furries anyway, might as well give them reference-names.
22. Would you ever consider living abroad? Yes!
23. What do you want to say to God when you reach the pearly gates? "I assume I ate something odd. I don't usually have this dream." And I'd then either wake up, or not, because I was dying at the time and was having random neuron fires.

PASS IT ON.

What I'm Listening To Lately

I promised a music post. Here it is. First song is by long-time favourite comedy band of mine, Lemon Demon, most well known for "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny".




It's all frigging true, too. Depressing and true.


This next song is one of mine and my mother's favourite car songs. Fuck you if you think I'm bad for liking it. Suck my dick, is what I say to you.




Fucking fuck yeah. Sorry, but it's just great.


This next one is possibly one of my favourite songs at the moment from I Am Ghost, a band I adore.




I absolutely love this song and I don't know why. I just love the band, their hooks and riffs are mind-sticky.


Musical Number

I am going to give you this one, that my singing teacher gave me. I love this song from Les Mis and I will try and record my own version as soon as I can.


I love it so much!


Australian Song

It was a hard choice, this one, since the one I originally wanted isn't anywhere on internet. (Emma Pask "Mr. Better" if you can find it anywhere). So, I fell back on an old favourite of mine.


An absolute favourite! Love it so much.


Like A Version

Here in Australia, we have a radio station called Triple J. They're your one-stop for everything. News, youth issues, music, everything. Every year they release a CD of people doing different versions of other band's songs. I thought my every music post would include a similar thing. Here's the first one, which is from Glee. I know, I know. Glee sucks, etc, etc, but this is Amber Riley we're talking about. Her voice punches you in the dick with its awesomeness.


I think this is an excellent version. My ex boyfriend and I got into a scrap over it a few weeks ago, he was saying how having someone play Frank N. Furter that was not a man was ridiculous, and that the song was supposed to be sultry and sexy. Excuse me, but I find her voice extremely alluring. He's just jealous he doesn't have hips like that. Audio is very slightly out of sync here, but is the best I can do.


Let me know your thoughts!
Much love, party on goths.

I Reiterate

I said yesterday in my link storm that you guys should follow Xary. This is why.





ISN'T IT AWESOME. Xary arts all her own posts, and is hilarious and very cute. There will no doubt be comics featuring me, too. ;3


Also this is my new favourite meme:


Sorry, Y U NO Guy, but my love always lies with Nigel Thornberry.

More substantial post on the stuff I got in the mail coming up.

A Post About Shoes

Most girls like shoes. Call me sexist, but dammit, it's true. I can't walk past a pair of shiny red shoes without seeing they're $200 and forcing myself not to like them (whilst crying on the inside).

I have....alright, here goes.

I have 20 pairs of converse.

I don't know where they all are, exactly, and some of them have magically vanished and reappeared in my mum's bedroom back in Mullumbimby, but when I counted all my Converse and Visions (like converse, only better but discontinued </3), there were twenty pairs. Red, black, pink, white, hightop, allstars, short laces, long laces, no laces, Emily the Strange and, yeah, I have leopard print allstars. I know. I have been criticised by other goths for my adoration of converse. And this is what I say to you:

fuck. you.

I like them. They're comfortable, worn-in and, best of all, they were free (my eldest sister Sally used to work in a shoe shop. Whenever they had excess stock in their orders - retail workers know this means you buy 10, and get 12 instead, for example - she would just plain nick them). Have you ever said no to free shoes? I didn't think so. I also have:

-granny boots from GoodGoth
-knee-high lace-ups I got when I was...fuck, must have been eleven or twelve, for my brother's wedding. They still fit.
-ridiculous three-and-a-half-inch red chunky platforms with bows. Lolita shoes. Love them so much.
-my Demonia Swings (7 1/2" platform)
-My once-upon-a-time-cherry-red doc martens, still  my favourite shoes
-shiny red heels I got from a vintage shop, to go with a dress I'm selling (next update coming soon, was too busy cleaning up and being fat today to do anything else).
-purple strap heels
-patchwork shoes from London my sister Sally got me, pictures later if I can find both of them

And do you know what else? Sometimes, I go outside, and i just don't wear shoes. Shocking, I know, but so what?

What kind of shoes do you guys have? Does anyone else have a ridiculous converse collection? Do you have any awesome converse or similar kind of shoe?

Unrelated to shoes, but I painted this yesterday. :D
