ANTM - Pet Peeves

I've not even started on the second part of the ANTM premiere but I've already been reminded of my pet peeves about the show. Having any part in any of the following tends to lower my estimation of a model.

1. "I'm a small town/country girl"
Oh puh-lease. I'm from the most rural of rural Ireland. I could see sheep and Catholics from my house and yet you don't see me scurrying about pretending I've never seen running water and four inch heels.

2. "This is not America's Next Best Friend" and variants of same
Yeah, you're absolutely right. Your best bet to get through this is totally to alienate those around you. It's not like you all have to live together or anything.

3. "My Granny/auntie/secondcousin'sneighbour is from [insert name of random SouthAmerican country here] so I got booty"
To which I say:
I wanted a Brazilian grandmother and all I got were these wide, Irish hips.

4. Insane screaming, usually accompanied by hyper handclapping and foot stomping.
This is especially grating when we know you do.not.know the guest judge you're creaming over. Calm, ladies. Gather.

5. Girl-on-Girl crime
Please be nice to each other. Please. It's not much to ask, is it?

ANTM - 12.1

Love.LOVE.Love.

Street preacher in leather leggings?
Called London?
Actually the London thing bugs me most.

So I gotta reiterate what Tyra said: This girl's got the London look.
Lurve her hair.
But wtf was that fight with Angelea?
"You got those long toes?"
I guess if you're both models there's not a lot to criticize but srsly.

Aww.
Who wouldn't love a Blacksican with dog poo sprinkled across her nose.

Well hey there Miss All-American Lara Stone.
Though I really, really don't think Lara Stone twirls.

Well, if you're going to have crazy you might as well have crazy with big blue eyes.

Rest: the sweet sauce of labour

I'm done with uni for a fortnight.

So holidays!

Or rather, STUDY.

Fee fi fo fum

I have all the ingredients for a perfect Sunday evening.
I have a novel (The Portrait of a Lady), a bowl of Special K (with hot milk!) and cosy jammies.
BUT our neighbour has decided to watch some war flick at top volume so that it sounds to me and my brother like a giant ( à la LilyD above in Pucci) is whispering at us.
This ruins the effect somehow.

Milan Fashion Week - Blumarine

I actually really like it. Apparently I'm into animal print and garish colours.
To get the full effect you need to go to the tFS thread and scroll up and down really quickly a couple of times.
You'll spin out I'm telling you.
This will be especially effective if, like me, you've spent all day drinking lemon Fanta and writing notes on neon Post-Its.

Oi! Mike you could sign an autograph for the Cookie Monster you prick!

In the foreground Michael Caine.
In the background Cook and Naomi from Skins.
Mmmm glorious coincidences.

Milan Fashion Week - D&G

Just a few words on the D&G show before I go off to get me hands on photos:

Tassles and Lampshades! OMfrigginG.
That's the look.
It kinda felt like clothes made by young aristos who lost all their money and just decided "fuckit let's rip Granny's house apart".
Anyhoo the show is up here.
They used the KILLS!

ETA: somepics
I really like the tops of all the dresses. That whole aged-poster thing is pretty.
And the skirts?
Yeah they're OTT (or maybe more odd), the bottom ones look like melted fescos or something, but actually I'm kinda fond of this collection.
