I know tumblarity sucks but look! I'm more popular than Jesus!

In the immortal words of Kathy Griffin: Suck it, Jesus!

I kind of want to do this to my kitchen but, as my brother reminded me, I have only a limited tolerance for kitsch and quirk.
Still it's pretty all the same.

In the past few months, more than a few models have gone blonde. Iekeliene Stange changed her color right before Fashion Week, Daul Kim shocked everyone when she went platinum, and Raquel Zimmermann went lighter, just in time for the Met’s Costume Institute gala.

Why the blonde obsession? Apparently, during a recession, it’s the color to choose. “Look at the ads,” Sarah Doukas of Storm said. “There’s Raquel Zimmermann in Marc Jacobs, Lily Donaldson seems to be in everything, as does Toni Garrn (Prada, Fendi and Versace) and Claudia Schiffer, who’s getting a lot of jobs again, too. Ultimately, blondes are a safer bet for clients who want to hedge their bets. When we’re constantly surrounded by bad news, that blonde stereotype is zingy and upbeat.”

Let’s take the positive approach and say the dye obsession is based on the phrase, “Blondes have more fun,” rather than focus on doomsday recession theories. So, on that note, who’s do you think is the next blonde pixie?

That this is heralded as a good thing in an industry that should really be working on diversifying itself makes me rather too angry for a Wednesday evening but there ya go. Oh, fashion...

Not the city I remember

I lived in Geneva last year.

Unfortunately I did not live in a place like this.

My place had red lino floors, broken heating and a great view of hookers.

It did, however, have a view of Mont Blanc on cloudless days so I don't suppose I can complain too much.

do as I say...

"FORGET TRENDY DESIGNER LABELS."
What? Like Balmain? If only you would Emmanuelle, if only you would.

Tattoo?

I had a dream I got a tattoo last night.

I got drunk on the beach in Ibiza and on my way back to my hotel decided to get a tattoo of a purple Koala holding a sign for Lanzarote and surrounded by fruit on my hip.

Needless to say if I ever do get a tattoo it will be slightly less insane.

Turns out I spoke too soon.

Obviously.

And I got soaked to my knees today as punishment.

So while this time yesterday I was sitting on the patio reading in the early evening sunlight today I am heating up hot chocolate and going to curl up beside the radiator.

This is Dublin in the springtime.
