"Everything that had happened was shockingly beautiful, enough to make you crazy."
its the 3rd day of 2009,i think im going to be counting till at least the end of the month, im not sure if i think by announcing this it will help me utilise every single second of 09 but...
i spent the day in bed, reading and day dreaming- two of my favourite pastimes might i add....i finished reading Asleep by Banana Yoshimoto, i loved it and it was perfectly surreal, "Everything that had happened was shockingly beautiful, enough to make you crazy" ... she deals with some amazing concepts, love, dependency, connection and habit...no nec what the dr ordered immediately post break up Teiko but i loved every second..and it reminded me of the beauty of love all over again...
love Banana Y!
Amel was singin to me in the background.one of my favourite songs "if i was a bell" from "lovely standards" ....on repeat..amazing artist, its been such a wonderful day, time to think and explore.
Ask me how do I feel, now that we're cozy and clinging
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bell I'd be ringing
From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I've just gotta behave
Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light or if I were a banner I'd wave
Ask me how do I feel, little me with my quiet upbringing
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a gate I'd be swinging
And if I were a watch I'd start popping my springs
Well, and if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding
Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson, I'm learning
Well sir, all I can say, if I were a bridge I'd be burning
Yes, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked
Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack or if I were a goose I'd be cooked
Ask me how do I feel, now that we're finally caressing
Pal, if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Or if I were a season, I'd surely be spring
Yes, or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding
************************************************************************************
i spent the rest of the day thinkin lingerie, plus size of course, im an 30G which has proved problematic in the past... and its soooooo refreshing that there are so many other companies that stock *beautiful* *alluring* and *sultry* underwear that flatter curves rather than act as a total turn off...more on that next week...i'll definately be looking at the brands available...have a fantabulous weekend xxx
from this...
to this...
its always good to have options!! ;-) woorrrrrk it!

Sophie Dahl is one of my favorite plus size models of all time! although her weight has dropped significantly she continues to inspire me.
Discovered by acclaimed Vogue magazine stylist Isabella Blow,she has featured in magazines such as Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire and the British, Italian and American versions of Vogue.
Fierce, confident and effortlessly chic. It is of course the beginning of the new year, i have extremely high expectations career wise and its always nice to remember models that have paved the way! again, have a happy new year and stay determined!

I couldnt let 2008 go past without posting a feature on Whitney Thompson, winner of American's Next Top Model, Tyra Banks is one of my heros, she is so very accomplished and has definately done alot for the industry.
She is a plus sized model proving that fashion needs ad is ready to embrace another type of beauty. We are more than capable, and as ive always believed beauty is certainly not one dimensional! Go Whitney...im definately going to try track her down for an interview on my blog! We love you Whitney!
Nigel Barker rocks!
