Birthday soon!

Since it's my birthday soon, I am doing a ridiculous whimsy-wish list!

A moon for the walls in my room, now that my once view of the night sky has been replaced by the neighbours' elevated house

A journal to fill is never put to waste with me! The Safavid style one by paperblanks is beautiful!

The works of Tesla, a very important man from our history, please do yourself a favour and acquaint yourself with his genius if unfamiliar with him, I would also recommend becoming a hardcore Alan Turing obsessive too, I am very happy the Imitation Game is doing such a great job spreading the history of one of the greatest minds ever

And taxidermy! The above piece was an Etsy I let slip away! It would have been well loved and treasured, it reminds me of Polly Morgan's work, where she turns taxidermy into sculptures

Anywho, most of all, a couple of ciders with the ones I love, and a picnic with my dogs at the park I live near would be the greatest! We must treasure our time with one another, and marvel at its wonder!

All pics from Pinterest and Etsy!

Marion Cotillard best dressed

What a stunning lady!

Though the sparkling world of Hollywood is one over marketed ridiculous world, sometimes it's 'stars' shine brightly

Anyone would too with fashion houses dressing you in exchange for marketing...*tsk tsk*

Buy Nothing Day Australia 2014

Saturday November 29th, for 2014.

Before it is dismissed as some leftist junk, read this

Working on the guilt cycle will only reduce people to further apathy. If only more people were worried about conscientious consumerism.

 I think the markets have infiltrated most aspects of life so well, anyone that labels themselves an anti-consumerist living in any kind of city dwelling is probably kidding themselves

but these things are worth considering with genuine thought and research

Kate Moss shoes

So before I critique the folk at the Daily Mail for having no lives and devoting a whole post to a pair of boots Kate Moss wore to a private Prince concert, I'll go on the record as having no life either

They are BRILLIANT! So Spice Girls meet Bowie!
