Gosh, it's already July. Honestly I can't remember what I did in June except work but I suppose I spent it mostly trying to get back into my usual groove and accepting that I've already beeen on holiday and chances were that I wouldn't be going anywhere until sometime next year.
Turns out, I got myself plane tickets to London from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1st. So let me know if you want to hang out. My birthday is on Sept. 29 so if you feel like having a glass of bubbly (Champagne, coke float or whatevs) please feel free to email me, facepoke or tweet me. My email is in my profile page I think.
So, Friday?
From there I got to the whole Glastonbury thing because people keep saying that the bint Bouyancy Beyonce was the first female to be a main name at Glastonbury. That's actually not true. Technically Kylie was except she was forced to pull out when she was diagnosed with the big C. Anyway, Kylie made her first appearance last year with the Scissor Sisters. Then you know, you click one like and then another and before you know it, you've spent an hour and find yourself here
It's never too late, as someone very fabulous once sang, so while it's still the divine mr. IDV's birthday we here at SayHey would like to send him our salutations and wishes for a fabulous year. To celebrate, we asked the fabulous Miss K. to do a couple of songs, especially for him (and you)
and while we would have preferred some nu-di-ty from him over at Miss MJs we will let it slide, this time.
We've got to remember that love is love is love is love is love. Which is why team Sayhey is spreading some love here today. Be loud, be proud and be happy.
Today we are especially happy for Miss Scarlet who is celebrating her 29th birthday, and since there's no birthday without a little song, I caught up with my good friend Kylie and she sends this message to Miss Scarlet and the rest of us.
Or, if you prefer this..
PS. Don't forget to check out my previous post in which you will be introduced to the inner workings of my mind and that of those involved in the making of the movie Knight & Day.
From golden treats to Australian treats, here's exclusive footage from our Lam cam.
In case you are interested in seeing how you make Lamingtons you can catch Nicko whipping up a batch right here.
I know you are all running to the kitchen to make a batch of Lamingtons but if you like Kylie and have 11 minutes to spare, I'm inviting you to catch a rare glimpse of her in this brilliant interview.
I don't know about you, but I had a little sniffle there.
It seems appropriate that I write this on the one week anniversary of our Saturday night with Kylie Minogue. You see, there's a story in there as it turns out.
I knew of Miss K and her work and had for years. Then things went terribly wrong in camp Pete and in whirl of tears, anger, hurt, pain and of cours glitter I ran for the hills. When I say hills, I don't mean actual hills because the only proper hill we have is this which is quite pathetic actually. Hills, in this little story is our kingdoms capital Copenhagen. Although Copenhagen quite quickly turned into Helsingør which is not very far from Copenhagen. It had a school where I could stay and maybe learn some compassion for others less fortunate than myself, and maybe learn not to exploite good old Mother Nature. It was the right thing to do, for everyone involved. As I mentioned, things at home were awful (my family thought it even worse) and it was a way for me to get away, gain some perspective, redo my makeup, find a lovely boytoy and perhaps never come back again. It turned out, I did move back and ended up at my childhood prison for a few months before I got my own flat
My time at the school (this was NOT for juvenile delinquents, depressed people or in any way the kind that you were forced to be at because you were chavvy and the like, just fyi. Read about it here if you like), was quite the experience as I ended up doing things I never thought I'd ever do. There was a lot of sitting around and talking, playing games, having fun, plays and whatnot. Most of the things I never thought I'd do were the dancing and trust exercises. Basically I was the one that stuck out because I hated sharing and I didn't trust anyone.
At this time Kylie had been Spinning Around for a while and On A Night Like This had been doing the rounds. So, Kylie was doing it for the Kids with Robbie and I needed that happy music. It was the only thing that kept me happy (it also helped once I got to know those freaky normal people at the school from all corners of the world) and so on March 23 2001 I took the train in to Copenhagen and partied with all the other gays at the tiny venue VEGA. We were 1500 people cramped in there dancing. I was in 4th row from the stage and it was possibly the most unique and intimate concert by a major artist I've ever attended.
Since then, I've attended one of all Kylie's tours. In total it's been 7 including an appearence she did at the Skanderborg Festival aka. Smukfest in 2009.
Those 7 concerts includes Miss K's latest word tour Aphrodite Les Folies the opening night in Herning, Denmark.
Let's just make it clear from the word go. No, I was not on that video. If you squint and shake your head furiously you may catch a rare glimpse of my ex boyfriend who is said to have been there. Well, he told me himself but that's neither here, nor there.
That particular Saturday was a lovely one. I woke up early, and spent a fair bit of the day lounging on the chaise corresponding with the ever so lovely Miss Roses on spacebook. Then in a whirl of glitter and panic I managed to get my outfit on and hurry out the door to meet my ever so lovely bestest friend evah.
We arrived at the venue about 5.30pm and were ushered to our private Splash Zone entrance where we checked in and got our Splash kits and wristbands. As we stood there waiting for the powers that be to open the doors a man (who looked a bit familiar) came over and poked me on the shoulder asking if I were me. I told him I was, and he handed me an envelope and explained that they were thrilled that I had been such a loyal fan and purchased the Splash Zone tickets. The man, who turned out to be Kylie's manager Terry, told me that they would be giving me a refund of the tickets I'd purchased less standard admission and Kylie had signed the "exclusive photo" in our Splash Packs. We were well happy with this, and then time came for us to be escorted to our exclusive Splash Zone.
We made it to second row by the main stage which turned out to be an awesome place to be. Miss K treated us to awesome facial expressions, even more awesome singing and a stunning show. Splash Zone was on fire on opening night in Denmark. It was only appropriate that Kylie and her team had prepared a water show to finish off the show with All The Lovers and sprays of water over our little patch within the stage.
Kylie took us through the gods and goddesses and the mythological world in a way that only a pop show can do. Taking it's liberties, and making sure that it all looked and sounded fabulous. We were treated to a majority of album tracks from her platinum album Aphrodite (buy it here) as well as a lot of the old hits. When I say old, I mean mostly from within the past ten years. There was no Locomotion or I Should Be So Lucky, which I found a bit refreshing as it left room for other tracks.
Quite a few songs stood out, but this went down incredibly well within Splash Zone (which consisted of quite a lot of hardcore Kylie fans and the like) as you can hear here
You can hear me wohooooing on there. Quite a lot. The track is If You Don't Love Me and the fact that it was performed was mindblowing as it was only released as a B-side to a single back around 1996. So, yes lots of wohooooooing going on as well as amazing footwear.
Let this be a wonderful time to say that Dolce & Gabbana did an amazing job creating all of Kylie's outfits for the show. There's not much else to say about it but
and of course, I took the following photo with my iPhone to show you all how Dolce & Gabbana thinks a goddess bathing suit should look.
We are very busy getting ready, but received this from our dear friends at Dolce & Gabbana to share with you
You don't have to wait until March, when you see the show yourself, or for me to come back from the show. All you have to do is feast your eyes on this nugget that was shared with me by the lovely people in camp Kylie (obviously it ended up on Youtube as well)
I'm sure you'll be able to feel the glitter and love.
We here at Sayhey are very excited about joining Kylie tomorrow for the world premiere of her show Aphrodite Les Folies show. In less than 24 hours I'll be queuing at gate 3 to be escorted into the Splash Zone.
Only two days to go and we can bare do anything but get our glad rags (no, not sanitary napkins thank god!) on, and start marching away towards the venue.
Is it just us, or has the temperature risen in here?
There's no need to rehearse this one, we ALL know it. Breaks my heart to see it, knowing she was coming off stage with blurry vision from the illness. The showgirl must go on though.
As the first month of 2011 is rapidly coming to a close, and the only thing worth mentioning (except of course chatting up Roses on facebook and receiving a present from her because we love her here on Sayhey!) was that last week I got a text from the good people at MasterCard telling me to call them.
I did of course do that immediately, and they told me that someone had used it the night before - twice - charging a total of 3505 quid on IT goods. Outragious! The good people at MasterCard told me not to worry about it, and that they had taken care of it, and I wouldn't be charged. They obviously cancelled the card and are sending me a new one.
In case you are reading this, you, yes you - the one who used my card details - F*cker they are coming for you! Oh, and burn in hell.
With that out of the way, we now look forward to a new month and so far February looks like it'll be the most eventful month of the year. Doesn't say much does it, with two events. There are of course other plans in the pipeline for later this year which I of course will let you in on sometime soon.
The first event is on February 19 where I will take part in the opening night of Kylie's new world tour Aphrodite Les Folies 2011 (which takes name and inspiration from Ziegfeld Follies). Of course I'll be right in the middle of things. Fronrow and centre in the Splash Zone.
Apparently there'll be what the press release calls 4D visuals. I assume it'll be something like the Ralph Lauren fashion show
The water features in Kylie's show Aphrodite Les Folies 2011 are designed by the same people who do the Bellagio fountain water works in Las Vegas.
So, my pretties I do hope you'll get a chance to go. Miss K may be coming by a venue near you. For the unlucky US and Canadiennes out there - you'll be able to see a scaled down version of the show. Tour info can be found here. A tour not to be missed.
Australian dates to be announced.
The second event of February is the following where the Oscars - The Academy Awards take place live at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. Again this year, it promises to be a show with glitz and glam. Of hits and misses and another year where Jim Carrey and Russell Crowe don't stand a chance in hell to win an Oscar. Good times!
A Danish movie is yet again nominated for an Oscar Hævnen - In a Better World in the category Best Foreign Language Film. It has already won a Golden Globe which of course Ricky Gervais mentioned (he was right) was the category that nobody cares about. I of course have no desire to watch the movie but everyone's raving about it.
I LOVE the Oscars. They've always meant something to me, and they still do. It used to be exclusively about the outfits and speeches but over the years I've become more and more interested in the movies we celebrate. It would be nice to have watched at least one of the movies before the show. Just to know what all the fuss was about. For instance the movie which was nominated for the most Oscars, The King's Speech. A whopping 12 nominations, and yet it's not coming to our cinemas until April.
To be honest I feel cheated. I watched a couple of the movies. Inception and Harry Potter 7 part 1. That's all, and yes Black Swan and The Social Network have been shown here and I'm now ruining my arguement. Still I find that every year, movies that haven't seen the light of day here due to distributors stalling, are honoured at the Oscars. They should be honoured because they are some of the best movies out there, yet it would be nice to be able to sit there on Oscar night thinking that out of the 10 (seems excessive doesn't it?) movies nominated for Best Picture you really thought X should have won instead of Y. For me, so far, I'll be thinking back to Inception and not being able to compare it to any of the other nominated movies.
On the subject of nominations for Best Picture, yet still going a little off on a rant when I should be wrapping this up. Well, 10 nominations for Best Picture? It seems a bit excessive. Is that a flexible category? If the movies stink next year, will there only be 3 nominations or will they have to nominate something like The Green Hornet 3D?
Bleugh!
If you have 11 minutes to spare, here is a nice little Australian short film in which Kylie goes beserk. I know, speaking of Best Picture and all that..
First post of 2011 and it's the 16th today. I can't believe it's been so long, but I've been fairly busy with Twitter, Facebook, work, my sofa and of course my parents move.
My parents started packing their home into boxes mid December and ever since then, I've been getting emails, texts and calls from my mother, all sounding something like this
"I've just found (insert item here - Tee-hee!) are you interested?"
"Are you interested in (insert item here - Tee-hee!)?"
"Do you remember (insert item here - Tee-hee!) from your childhood? - would you like it?"
"I know you are going to want (insert item here - Tee-hee!)"
Let's make it clear, my parents have some great stuff, but my mother also has a bizarre habit of holding onto things that she got from someone and thinks is ugly. So she tries with all her might to pawn it off on her sons.
My evil bro is getting it easy, because he has a house and has gotten all their gardening equipment (which he actually did want). Because of this, my mother wants to "make it up to me" by showering me with all her living room rejects. It's all well meaning of course, she genuinely thinks I want it all. I try brushing it off by saying evil bro should be asked too, because it's not fair for me to take it all.
Truth be told, I've already been given what I really wanted. That is, a china pattern set for 12, and glasses called Princess by Holmegaard. They, like the china, are discontinued now and I've always loved them. I've never actually seen them being used when I lived at home, yet they were apparently my mothers favourites. I think my father was too lazy to wash them up by hand.
Of course I've ended up with 4 massive boxes of books, kitchenware and other items that I'm not sure I'll ever use but my mother seemed happy. I also got their dining room table and a computer desk for my bedroom.
As for my parents? They moved in on Tuesday this week. Their swanky 94 m2, 3rd floor, designer appartment in the center of town with a view of the river/lake(s) being a little small for their select furniture and 65 moving boxes. I suppose they'll need to do more sorting before they can settle in completely. I had the pleasure of joining them after work on Tuesday to see the appartment, and help them with a bit of lifting. The movers had been there earlier that day, and so all they had to do was empty the boxes and put their furniture in their designated spots.
Obviously, they did not agree at first, but once I started coming up with helpful suggestions they seemed to join forces and focus their frustrations on me. I guess some people just don't appreciate suggestions from people who clearly have an eye for interior designs. That being the case, they are filling their appartment to the brink with furniture and their sofa is in the middle of their living room. I kid you not. You practically stumble into it walking in there. It's such a shame.
Another thing, about filling the appartment with furniture, they have a dining table in the kitchen. Their kitching is one of those open kitchens with a half wall between kitching and living room so you have the view of the river when you are cooking, with a passageway to go from the kitchen to the living room. On the other side of the half wall, they want ANOTHER dining table - for guests. To me, that's just wasteful when your appartment is THAT small. Anyway, I promised myself not to get worked up about it, because clearly they won't listen to me. I'm sure I can get you photographic evidence once they are settled in.
There is just one more item of my parents that would mean a lot to me. Yet they are not going to part with it until they leave this world. That is one of these
This is (not our) Hoptimist, but a photo of an original one from 1968 designed by Gustav Ehrenreich just like the one my parents have. It was given to my late brother in the late 1970s around the time I was born and he got sick. The Hoptimist is a symbol of hope and optimism, which I think is wonderful in these slightly depressing times. They have gotten a revival in the past 6 months and as you can see if you follow the link they come in many colours, shapes and sizes.
In a recent interview Kylie did here in Denmark, to promote her upcoming tour, she was given one. We love our Danish designs.
For Christmas, my evil bro gave me the small wooden Baby Bumble in smoked oak
However, I opted to take it back to the store in favour of the proper Bumble.
Which is bigger. I simply love it. You can tell by the antenna and the eyes, that it's the male. The female is the Bimble with wider eyes and no antenna. The Bimble is a little too much of a hoochie for my taste.
All I need now, is to name my Bumble. I thought of just naming it Bumble, but that's its sex, not its name.
It seems like forever ago I wrote my last annual review however it does feel like this year has passed by rather quickly. What's most disconcerting is that I can't remember much of it. I had to look most of it up. For instance, I can't remember the last time I read a book.
Another thing was when I took a couple of those news tests where you have to remember certain things that made the news this year. It gave me a 4/20 and a comment of "were you out of the country a lot?". Which I wasn't. I was home all year long, but I must not have paid attention. Then I took the 'celebrity scandals of 2010' test and scored 9/13. If that's a good or bad thing, I'll leave up to you to decide.
The year did just fly by, and we saw Kylie releasing a new album, Robbie rejoined Take That (and practically took over the BBC and ITV it seems) and The Black Eyed Peas went number 1 in the UK with the worst single of the year The Time (Dirty Bit).
There was also some Royal news as the Norwegian king had an affair, Prince William finally proposed to his Kate, Danish Queen Margrethe II turned 70 and Princess Mary of Denmark got pregnant again (baby expected to drop any minute now).
Let's face it, it's not really about *them* though, is it? It's about me. I can do that, this being my blog and all. So, shall we?
Book Challenge
The challenge of the last few years, was for me to read 12 books. One per month. However as I mentioned earlier, I can't remember the last time I picked up a book. So it was rather shocking for me to realise I've read 16 books!
Not all the books were mentioned here on the blog, so I'll list them all for your viewing pleasure.
Basically an erotic anthology with a vampire theme. Not at all my thing. I read a few of the stories but it left me a bit sick and I had nightmares. Not at all sexy.
Most were enjoyable, but I must admit that I much prefer this one.
With the success of Book Challenge 2010, I think I'll try again next year. I've got a lot of books stashed away under my bed for these cold and snowy/rainy days. In this type of weather, I find that a good movie is there to help me along. Either at the cinema or a DVD.
Movies of 2010
I love movies, and I've got a few DVDs so in order to find out what I've actually watched this year, I've had to look through my bookshelves as well as search my mind to see what I've actually watched this year. I think Hermoine was a little too thorough when she did that Obliviate spell a few weeks ago.
The first of the last Harry Potter movies. It had a good build-up to the big climax. I still don't fancy Harry as it just seems so wrong. He's 21 but I remember him as that little boy with the round glasses. Ewww. Can't wait to see the final movie though.
This was good. You'd think any movie that's nominated for Oscars would be good. Yet, I made the mistake with Sidewaysbut Up In the Air is good. George Clooney could charm his way through anything I'm sure.
Everyone says this is terrible, and was even worse than the first one. I actually prefer this to the first one. Although I must say I don't much care to get Carrie'd away. She's so whiney.
I'm not into sports movies and the only reason why I watched this was because I adore Sandra Bullock. She delivers and deserved the Oscar. It's a wonderful movie about so much more than American football.
Action/comedy starring the always hot Bradley Cooper. It's funny and action packed. I'm not sure if it's anything like the original TV show because I haven't watched that but the writing is not exactly Hemmingway or Henry James.
I'm not a fan of this. Hard hitting action with a touch of comedy. Basically it's an 80s rehash of all the B-movies these has beens have starred in. I do however fancy the pants off Jason Statham
I like the idea of this movie. The acting was good, and the CGI was not bad. A fan of CGI, I'm not but it worked in this. This wasn't CGI for the sake of CGI or cutting cost or saving a trip to the actual place.
I watched this in early 2010 I think. Needless to say I didn't like this. It will be very difficult to find a more overrated and over exposed movie. EVER. I think I'd prefer to watch Twilight see my commentary on this here again. Blue creatures who run around on a planet and speak their own 13 word language for 162 minutes. No thank you. The story could have been, and probably was written on a cocktail napkin. My reason to watch this CGI travesty was the 3D. I had to see what that was like. Meh, I wasn't impressed.
My favorite is this one
I may have watched more movies that came out in 2010 but I honestly can't remember. That Hermoine is a skilled witch. Either that, or my Time Capsule is playing tricks on me.
TV Shows
I've followed 6 new TV Shows (new episodes) and 3 vintage ones. By vintage I mean old, taken off the air shows. They are as follows
I'm not really a vampire/werewolf kind of person, but I did think the idea of a ghost, werewolf and vampire living together trying to lead ordinary lives. It's good!
I started recording this, and watching it on the weekend. However it never quite caught on. I spent some time mocking it a little on Twitter but it wasn't enough to keep me watching. Perhaps it was Tate Donovan who was just way too awkward and plasticy.
I've been recording this on my box, and it's great. We've made it to episode 86 which is around the time the gang made it to college. The Dylan/Kelly romance (he should be with Dylan!) is a little rocky and Brenda had a brief stay in Minnesota.
My favourite
Dynasty
Biggest disappointment is still
From movies and TV we move onto music.
Top 4 albums I bought
I didn't buy a lot of albums this year. To be honest I don't buy a lot of music so it has to really catch my interest.
Contains singles Fire With Fire, Any Which Way and Invisible Light Utterly brilliant camptastic pop album. Pure joy with little nuggets of hilarity if you listen to the lyrics.
It's a bit Pet Shop Boys ish album. I like it. There's first single Wonderful Life which is just brilliant along with Better Than Love and Stay. Kylie joins Hurts for a duet on Devotion. Not really my type of album but I like it a lot.
I didn't buy the first version of this album, but I thought it would be fine to get this one. With all the 'old hits'. The only really awful track on it is the Telephone one with Beyonce. I'm not saying this album is amazing but it's a good 'greatest hits' album considering she's only done this one proper album she's done pretty well for herself. She's gone overboard with the styling though. When she put on that meat dress and the telephone hat, she became a caricature of herself. A bit of a joke really.
My singles top 10 of 2010
Kylie Minogue - Better Than Today (Club Junkies Remix)
I didn't quite know if I should pick Get Outta My Way (7th Heaven Remix) or this one, but I opted for this because it's a little bit overlooked brilliant.
2. Example - Kickstart
Love it!
3. Scissor Sisters - Any Which Way
Camptastic, and love the video.
4. Cheryl Cole - Parachute
Her most recent stuff doesn't really tickly my fancy but I like this. The video is gorgeous.
5. Hurts - Wonderful Life
Love it. I'm glad that I'm not one of those Hurts girls though. Not a fan with being too long under water. I prefer it a bit more sunny and lounging by the pool with a colourful umbrella cocktail.
6. Roll Deep - Good Times
I've never heard this on Danish radio or on any of our music video channels. I did however watch this on the UK Top 40 and I love it. It's so happy.
7. Robyn - Dancing On My Own
I remember this girl from the days of Do You Really Want Me. She was huge in Denmark back then, and voilà she is again. Love this song. She's quirky and not conventionally pretty. I mean that as a compliment.
8. Take That - The Flood
They were everywhere with this song, which is a shame really. I love it, but there is too much of a good thing (when we aren't talking Kylie). It's mostly just Robbie Williams feat. Take That. That's how I prefer it. The Robbieless Take That were boring.
9. Alexandra Burke - Start Without You
I like this song, but I do have to confess that the video does have something to do with it getting into my top 10.
10. Katy Perry - California Gurls
I hate to admit I like the song, but I thought this was great too.
From the best to the worst songs of 2010.
Top 3 worst songs of 2010
A lot of crap was released this year, but these 3 take the cake.
1. Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit)
Quite frankly the most hideous track of 2010. I mean, if Ann Widdicombe had released a song it would still be better than this pile of shite.
2. Rihanna - What's My Name
Just no. No, no, no, we don't care.
3. Duffy - Well, Well, Well
Well, well, well... What the fuck happened to Duffy. I mean, I've never cared for her music but this is awful.
Before we end this almost epic review, we have one more thing to do..
Top 10 hottest men of 2010
1. Ryan Reynolds
2. David Boreanaz
3. George Clooney
4. Jake Gyllenhall
5. Bradley Cooper
6. Cesc Fabregas
7. Matthew Bomer
8. Chris O'Donnell
9. Zachary Quinto
10. Mark Salling
So, the annual review is over now. Happy New Year everyone (and thanks for all the holiday wishes)
I've been tagged. It sounds really serious, and to be honest this meme is both delightful and scary all rolled up into one.
You see, Roses wants to know what the ingredients for my secret recipe for my perfect man are.
It's difficult to say, and a little scary because first of all, I risk coming across more selfcentered and shallow that I actually am. Secondly, if I actually type it out it'll be "out there", like saying something out loud that really shouldn't be said out loud.
To be completely honest, I don't know what I want. So I've taken the approach of what I like rather than want.
I like..
working and it would be nice to have an equal who does too, so a minimum of work related bickering is avoided.
having nice things, and since I don't make a lot of money it would be nice if he does.
cooking so it would be great if he doesn't but rather enjoys tidying up, cleaning and washing up.
beauty so it would be fantastic if he was.
nice people, so it is essential that he is nice.
cuddling and staying in bed/snuggling up on the sofa, reading and watching movies. So it is another must that he does too. With me.
to be anywhere but at the gym but it would be nice if he could inspire me to go and make it fun for me.
movie history, and it would be important that he has at least some interest in movies.
nay, adore Miss K and it would be essential that he at least, at a minimum, doesn't mind her.
being a complete lush, and it would be essential that he likes a drink now and again and isn't an alcoholic.
being a bitch from time to time, and it would be nice he could put me in my place now and again.
the toilet paper under, but to be quite honest I'd take it any way he wants it.
staying in, a lot, so it would be nice if he could (from time to time) drag me out on a Friday or Saturday night for a spot of dancing on the bar with fierce high kicks in designer heels and flashing of knuckleduster gold ring.
frivolous things and it would be essential that he doesn't look down on that.
I like the colour red and he should be able to deal with it.
expensive Champagne and he should like to give me that.
London, Las Vegas and San Francisco so taking me there from time to time would be a plus.
I like David Boreanaz, and it most certainly couldn't hurt to look a bit like him
singing around the house, and it would be great if he would too.
keeping the toilet seat down and it would be greatly appreciated if this would remain down whenever he isn't using the loo.
In the end though, I could make a list that goes on forever, but I just be greatful if I found a nice guy who I love and that would love me back.
I like beautiful things and it's not my fault that most of those are designer things. I've been told a million times, that I only love things because they were Dolce & Gabbana or Gucci or Armani. It's not my fault that they make such beautiful things though. It's also the easiest thing in the world to say, because you don't need to back that up. Then again, it's not like I owe anyone an explanation.
People who only wear certain designers and don't mix and match, are in my opinion fashion victims.
That said, I *do* like Dolce & Gabbana, Armani and Gucci. Unfortunately I just can't afford to buy a lot of it. Especially not now as I'm saving up for another trip to Las Vegas where I will most likely be buying way too many fabulous things and seeing Miss Minogue live. It's all very up in the air still as I've saved a total of £50 as of yet and it isn't looking good. It's not that I don't try, as I do play the Lotto most weeks, and I'm just about to win the £3 million prize. I just know it!
If I did, I'd most certainly be getting pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. One must have a pair of those, and I don't. Not yet anyway but these are most certainly on the shortlist.
Christian Louboutin: Bridget's Back!
These fabulous Christian Louboutin studded peep toe ankle booties come in 3 colours
Silver
Gold
and black
Now if I only had those £1,800 times three.. Be careful, the price tag is not the only thing dangerous about wearing fabulous designer heels..
I hate it when the houseboys don't bring me what I ask for.
Then again, now it doesn't matter much, I just imagine what it's going to be like catching up with the other (I'm in right? I must be, mustn't I? Please?) Coven members for a cup of tea.
and getting advice from the handyman
And of course, sticking up for your Coven friends to backstabbing bitches
All in a days work for a desperate Coven pledge.
*The decisions of the remaining Coven memebers, of course. You filthy lot!
I'm a diva. I have strops. That's what IDV says, and while I'd love to say that I'm all peaches and cream, I'm really not. Just yesterday I had one of my strops at work.
Actually, I'm usually nice to my colleagues, but she is quite new at our team, and she keeps asking just me. I wasn't exclusively assigned to train her and I am fairly behind in my own work. She asks the same questions over and over like she isn't getting what we teach her. So, yesterday it became too much.
Miss Joanie would be proud. Actually, I wasn't mad at her, I just got frustrated both because she'd been asking the same question so much that I started doubting my answer and because I was stressed of having to take over someone elses work while she is on holiday (in California, just to rub it in I suppose). She first got a bit red in the cheeks, then she got a little bit tense before going to the loo. When she came back her mascara was a bit smudged (that's what you get for not using waterproofed I suppose). Of course I ended up emailing her (she's two desks over, and I wasn't going to walk all the way over there in my Choos) saying I was sorry. I'm such a softie.
I'm not alone in my diva incarnation though
We all have our good qualities. We appreciate good quality products, designer labels and expect to be treated like the glamorous stars we are. Living in our own world of
and who doesn't love a good catfight to work off that Beluga caviar and those sufflés
or throwing people out of hotel rooms.
To be honest though, it's a lot of work being a diva, and I've had a lot of thoughts about my blog and it's future. Should I just let it die? Or should I try to bring it back to life. As a diva, I'm allowed to change my mind, but for now bitches...
You are probably sitting there, just waiting for me to tell you all the exciting things that's happened over the past almost (oh gosh!) month. Time flies when you are having fun. Or at the very least when you are busy working.
Constantly running around, with the paps and adoring fans at your heels. Still, I managed to slip away on a boat on May 28.
No, we didn't rent out the worlds oldest working steam engine boat, but rather a newer model that ran on petrol. It made sure we got home alright too. Well at least safely to shore.
It was a lovely birthday party. Once off the boat, we went to a hotelroom and partied some more. There was cake, and wine and a fabulous atmosphere.
One could say it was a magical night.
Now one sits here, glass of Moët in hand thinking about all the lovers
You know, if love is really good you just want more - and I'm getting it!
Tim of Sparky Malarkey asked us to give him a little action. So naturally I went to work on him. Taking my time, working my way up his sides, taking my time going on the pecks and then finally making my way slowly up his inner thighs.
Of his cut out Actionless paper doll of course.
Just to clarify, I love the song, not Tim, and now I'm digging a big hole and I should just delete the youtube song but it's too good for that. So deal with it.
Naturally I upgraded Tiny Actionless Tim and now he was ready for all sorts of action. So, naturally I took Tiny Tim along when I went out to find and buy my new TV. I'd already gone to two shops after work on my own because Tim was home tidying up his own mess, but on Friday I took him along to The Sony Center for a final glance. The salesman, a man in his late fourties who first showed us a 50 inch TV which was too big. It made me think of this
and couldn't concentrate on whatever the man was saying until the song had played out in full. Then he went on to talk about other TVs until he finally made it to my future TV. It was just there, black, sleek and fabulous. I actually had to stop myself from doing the Auto- and Boatshow glamourwhore demonstrations of sort of leaning on it and stroking it gently for no one in particular. It's just that pretty!
Yesterday I went there with more reinforcements to collect the TV and transport it back to my flat. This is when I really needed Tims help. Let me just say, once he'd finished fooling around with my DVDs
and that took some time indeed
I set him to work on the TV table I bought last weekend. Because really, Tim wanted action so action was what he was getting.
Tim seemed a little outraged at the large package, but I thought he might as well get used to that sort of thing - living with me and all.
It didn't look like Tim seemed confident with the manual but I told him to get to it.
I helped Tim with some of the hard work but this was his project.
Tim was very surprised to be almost done with now. All it needed was metal things it was supposed to stand on - and fitting the glass plate on top.
With the metal things securely fastened, I helped turning it around and tried to fit on the glass plate. It didn't fit of course, so we had to take the thing apart again and unscrewing bits to loosen one of the side blocks. With the glass plate fitting, again we put the DVD player etc. on it.
It was hard work, but someone had to do it, and so I was thrilled to give Tim a bit of action. Finally it was time to unpack the TV and set it up. This bit was a little less work for Tim, and more for me.
Quite frankly I could have used a little more help doing the last bits but Tim was satisfied being the TV show whore and posing for you all. Bless him!
Thank you Tim, and I'm sure we'll have more fun in the future.
For all those of you, interested in what TV I actually got: Sony KDL40HX700AEP and I'm loving it.
Here I am at my laptop, like another Carrie Bradshaw once more. Not the way I expected to spend my weekend. You see my dear reader, I have Monday off and in my head had planned a little weekend away by myself.
The idea came to me Friday at noon when I was talking to my colleague who sits opposite me. We don't talk much because we have very little in common. She's over 50 (I think, not entirely sure of her age) and otherwise a very lovely and stylish woman. Yet, the chemistry is on and off. I adore her though, but can't tell if she likes me or not which frustrates me a little. Anyway I suddenly got the idea to go to Copenhagen this weekend. I'd leave Saturday morning and come back Monday afternoon.
As the polite colleague I am, I asked her what her and her husband were doing this weekend, and they were going for a run Friday afternoon, having a dinner party on Saturday and brunching with friends Sunday. She in turn asked me what I was doing as I had Monday off. I told her about my idea to spend the weekend in Copenhagen and how I missed it there. She understood as she herself had lived there for many years, and one of her sons lives there. Then she almost beamed as she told me I should go to see our Crown prince Frederik and his wife Princess Mary's palais. Apparently the palais open to the public until they move in later this spring after a long renovation period. She had gone a few weeks ago and it was positively fabulous. Of course, she proclaimed being a royalist as am I. My mothers maiden name is Margrethe - like our Queen - so I feel a fair bit royal myself.
Anyway, my plan was to take the train - first class naturally - and then sign into either the fabulous old school hotel for the celebrities Hotel D'angleterre or the hip and kool Hotel Fox. Then spend my first hours in Copenhagen shopping, and then hook up with friends and going out. Then on Sunday I'd go to see the Royal Palais and walk around Copenhagen - including a visit at where the Little Mermaid used to be as it's been shipped off to Japan for a while. It would have been amazing to just walk around Copenhagen in the sun shine down by the water and take in the old parts of the city. Then I'd hook up with friends for dinner and Monday I'd go shopping again until I'd have to go home by train. First class again, naturally.
Of course all great plans meet their challenges and I was forced to cancel my plans. So here I am, typing away on my fabulous laptop with nothing to offer you except this humble meme that IDV tagged me for. So here we go
The failed weekend meme
Where is your cell/mobile phone?
My old iPhone is next to me on the sofa, and the new 3G S iPhone is on my dinner table.
Vehicle?
I don't even have a bus pass. I use 10 trip clip cards.
Hair?
I need a haircut. It's not curly or anything but it's way too long and unruly. I could have gotten a cut in Copenhagen *sigh!*
Father?
I'm not, but I do have a father. Also if someone could point me in the direction of a rich sugar daddy I'd be eternally grateful. Please?
Your favorite thing?
It's between the new iPhone 3G S, my laptop, the fourth season DVD of Dynasty and my LeKlint lamp (mine's in red, and you can change the inner bits so you can make yourself a completely new lamp by buying new inner covers). It's difficult to pick one.
Firtinis. Vodka, pinapple juice and Champagne. Don't you just LOVE it!
Room you are in?
My living room. I wish I was in a swanky hotel room in Copenhagen though *sigh!*
Your ex?
Is in Copenhagen. I may or may not have had plans to hook up with him.
You are?
A little bummed out, that I didn't go to Copenhagen afterall. Maybe this summer or autumn though. Or I'd go to London. That would also be kool. Or maybe Paris?
What do you want to be in ten years?
Married, a millionaire and an acclaimed designer. No, seriously I don't know. Employed and in a relationship would be nice.
Who did you hang out with today?
Nobody. I kept a low profile and I expect I'll keep that up tonight. Watching a movie or two.
What you're not?
Married, a millionaire and acclaimed designer. I'm also not in Copenhagen. Ok. I'll stop whining.
Muffins?
Why not? A chocolate, chocolate chip muffin would be nice.
One of your wish list items?
A big flatscreen TV, a nice designer watch and designer shoes.
Trying to win a Facebook Scrabble game against Sparkly Tim
What are you wearing?
My glittering cowboy hat, black pin striped trousers, black top with vintage Pepsi logo and pink and purple stripey socks.
Your pet(s) ?
I don't have pets. I am following Stefano Gabbana (designer - Dolce & Gabbana ya know) on Twitter and he posted a photo of his cute black dog. At that moment I wanted a dog. Then I thought about it a little more. I'm not allowed to have pets in my appartment, and I'd have to walk it and feed it and love it. Oh. I'm so not a pet person.
Your computer?
I've got an HP Pavillion something, something and my IBM ThinkPad X60s Lenovo. I also have a Zepto Znote something laptop but I've packed it away because I have issues going online with it.
Your life?
I fairly good at the moment, but I am missing a boyfriend, could lose a fair amount of weight.
Your mood?
Less whiney than before, but still a bit bummed I didn't get to go to Copenhagen.
Missing?
A few pieces of the puzzle.
What are you thinking about right now?
Why there is so much sport on TV. Are people really that into handball, football and also why is Rihanna so popular? She's so shrill!
Your shoes?
Silver Hackenbusch casual shoes. A little worn but still presentable.
Your work?
Good. I love making people keep up their car payments. Forcing them to give it back if they don't, is only an extra bonus.
Your summer?
Nothing is planned. I wish I could go abroad but I doubt I'll be able to afford it. Especially if I buy that flatscreen TV.
Your favorite colour?
Pink, but I like black too.
So, those are my answers. Please do this meme if you like, and let me know in the comments section so I can swing by and read your answers.
Have a great weekend, dearies. Now, let's have a batch of flirtinis.
