August 5, 2008Why
July 31, 2008am I only learning of this product’s existence now?
And can I get it in Ireland?
Because apparently putting one drop of this onto an eyeliner brush can turn eyeshadows and glitter powder into liquid eyeliner.
That’s only the dream of my life!

July 15, 2008Who? John O’Connor
Where? Cow’s Lane, Temple Bar
When? Saturdays
Why? www.johnoconnor.ie - nuf said
A recent graduate from NCAD and currently studying for an MSc in Multimedia Systems at Trinity, O’Connor received a public art commission in 2006 from Dublin City Council for an installation on Thomas Street as part of the Creative Corridor Festival.
Working with varying media, John has showcased a video installation as part of the Trinity Arts Festival, has had his paintings featured in Prudence magazine (among others) and also supplies and designs t-shirts for well-known Dublin clothing stores.
Ok enough of the PR. This dude actually rocks.
When it comes to art, I have absolutely no interest in paintings.
I like photography. I like graphics. I like John O’Connor because he mixes graphics with painting and bright colours and everything just POPS.
Give me a painting of a field or the sky and I’m bored. Give me one of John O’Connor’s masterpieces and I’m excited.
I have his Marilyn ‘consider me as art’ beside my bed (yay for freebies!) but I’m definitely throwing hints in certain directions for THIS for my birthday…

the Chanel 2.55.
Introduced by Coco Chanel in February 1955 (hence, 2.55) ‘cos she wanted a shoulder bag to free up her hands.
Too bad I’ll never be able to justify spending so much money on a bag…

May 9, 2008I randomly came across this lil lady while doing some mindless Youtubing and ohmyGOSH she is awesome.
African-bornLuam is a choreographer based in New York who has worked with everyone from Ludacris to Kanye West to Ciara.
She launced a clothing line L.U.A.M. (Love Understands All Music) by Wildchild Nation in 2007 and she has her own microseries, Fashion: The Life, on MTV.
Just watch… watch…
Smell ya later…
April 17, 2008At the moment I’m relying on Palmer’s Cocoa Butter to make me smell like… something other than skin.
Why?
I’m completely out of perfume. Disaster. If someone would be so kind as to buy me any of the following….
Pure Poison by Dior
Rock and Rose by Valentino
or In Control by Britney Spears
Please?
Take the day off
