I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

This is what Ellen drew for me on a post-it note. I may want to steal some of her refridgerator post-its and sell them on ebay for a ridonculous Buy it Now price.

Got an email from DailyCandy about a few sample sales, here’s one for anyone in London!:

What: London Accessory Sale & The Secret Sample Sale
Why: Clothing and accessories from Chloé, Miu Miu, Balenciaga, Gucci and more from £5.
When: Today-Sun. Fri., noon-8 p.m.; Sat., noon-7 p.m.; Sun., noon-6 p.m.
Where: T2, F Block, Old Truman Brewery, 87 Brick Ln., E1 6QL (07900 432661).

So tired. Which is rather good news since work is being done, but that is so sad.

    I love “The Little Mermaid,” but I had to write an analytic paper about it for a women’s studies class in college, discussing how it’s stereotypical racist caricatures and it ruined it. I can’t look at Ursula without thinking that she’s supposed to be the evil black bitch and how Flounder is the androgynous he/she and I think we all know what Sebastian is supposed to be, mon. Whyyyy, Disney, whyyyyyy?

    P.S. That Post-It is awesome. I wish I had skills like that.

    Dude, Ellen is like insanely talented. I just asked MM why she has never done that for me- true friend… pffft!!
    Thanks for the tip off on the sample sale; the perfect excuse for making my bank balance read minus!
    As for being a size 6, the only advantage is being able to fit into kids clothing, lol!

    Have a great wekend lover,

    THANK YOU SO MUCH x 1000000 FOR THE BOOTS :D I have been wearing them whilst revising, cooking, grocery shopping – I would wear them in the shower and sleep with them on if it was practical. Was so nice meeting you :) When we’re less busy we should definitely do coffee/something or other! I was thinking how I loved your sparkly vest when we were talking haha, that and thinking “would it be too awkward if I asked for a picture together?” (decided it was). Finally… That is the pret salad I always get! xoxo

    ARGH, Wish I was in London right now to go to all the sample sales. I’m moving back at the end of next month. I’ve always had a weakness for that vest, think Topshop did a similar one too.

    Man I totally love how even you’ve got such a sweet feminine look you seem drawn towards more masculine stuff like those kick ass boots (you seem to like boots a lot whoo!). Ahh I totally love that plaid shirt! XD Planning on going to that new uniqlo outlet that just opened in s’pore after my exams… hopefully will see it there!

    what else was i gonna comment about… oh yeah that post it drawing? INCREDIBLE. your friend is so talented!! I love how she made use of the spaces to create the outline for your face!
