Finders Keepers

Dress: Finders Keepers

Man, I feel like a woman.

Rihanna is official sizzling off the SWAG-O-METER. Some of the outfits she wears are nothing but cringeworthy..but with that much swagger, anything goes.

Oh-Livia...

This girl never gets it wrong. She has a real knack for matching mis-matching prints. I've managed to look past her bitchy persona on The City and respect her for the fashionista she is. 

Givenchy 2012

How amazing has Givenchy been this year...SO FAB! 

The evolution of Heidi Montag

She started as a 20-something year old confident blonde, living the Hollywood dream. Five years on, shes still 20-something and still blonde. Only now, shes far from confident... and not exactly living the Hollywood dream!

After ten surgeries in one day (note: this was not her first time under the knife), she is far from a picture of perfection.

By watching the early season's of The Hills, you would know Heidi Montag was oozing confidence. And with her Jay Leno-like chin and flat chest, would light up any room. What went wrong?

Heidi blames her life in Hollywood, and the need to keep up with the entertainment industry on the drastic changes she's made to her look... And what has she achieved since undergoing surgery? A fake divorce... Bankruptcy... Unemployment! Not exactly my idea of making it big in Hollywood.

A pictures tells a thousand words...

When watching a movie, its likely that two different people are left with two completely different interpretations of what happened. Even though they are watching the same thing, their experiences, beliefs and mindset lead them to draw different conclusions.

The same applies with photos...

When your friends are flicking through someone elses Facebook photos, they may feel a sense of jealousy over how scintillating one's weekend was. To me, however - photos on the floor with your hands in the air are simply creative individuals going out of their way to act out a night they wish had taken place. Some may call me a skeptic, but I like to think of it as living by the rule of 'guilty until proven innocent'. These people are guilty of creating a fraudulent lifestyle for the public eye, playing out their fantasies through carefully constructed images. They will be proven innocent when I have personally witnessed their 'awesome life' first hand. With most individuals, this is one case they cant win!

I am a master of selecting images that capture a moment, and know very well that 'capturing a moment' is very different to creating one.

Plump Bunny?

I get that my idea of 'ideal weight' may not be yours, but when it comes to Holly Madison - no one in their right mind can think she's fat!

Having said that, clearly the producers of her Las Vegas burlesque show are headed for the looney bin.

The former Playmate has been told to lose weight for Peepshow. The show is meant to be seductive and sexy. Bones are NOT sexy!

Holly said, "I always thought I looked fine. It was a shock to me when they told me to lose weight. I just feel like I market myself as a sex symbol, I don't market myself as a fitness model or a professional dancer so I feel like the way I look is fine!"

Holly isn't even sure if she wants to lose weight! I understand that being a Playmate doesn't exactly make her role model of the year, but being proud of her body sure does.

Put your foot down little lady!

The Hills "Blooper"

I was once a devoted fan of The Hills, and i guess i could say i still am (watching old episodes on a monthly basis would give me the right to call myself a fan)! I always knew the show was manipulated (as is almost everything on television), but i still like to believe the show captures the moments as they happen, rather than having 'takes' and 'cuts'.

Whilst watching Season 6.. I stumbled across this 'mistake', if you like, which made me see The Hills in a different light! The images are from different dates (one from Jan, the other from Aug) and Stephanie's hair and lips are completely different. Adam Divello - you should be ashamed of yourself - your credibility has gone south mate!

I like to think of myself as an advocate for ones independence, although my current lifestyle doesn't exactly ooze Miss Independent 2010.

It was not until recently that i jumped on the "trips without parents" bandwagon and i have promised myself I will never look back. Never will i subject myself to visiting family and waking up to clean EVER AGAIN!

Early this year, me and three friends decided to take the plunge and lock in a trip to the US. Why not? Who wouldn't want to spend 5 weeks shopping on 5th Avenue and poolside pina colada's at Caesar's Palace Hotel (and possibly reenacting scenes from The Hangover). All without the company of mummy and daddy dearest.

Don't get me wrong, I love them dearly - but my once short fuze for their tolerance is officially BURNT OUT!

A recent weekend 'scandal' has shed light on the fact that these people are living in a box (clearly one without any peep holes). Drinking alcohol four times a year doesn't qualify you as an alcoholic, Mother! See what i mean - how can one be willing to holiday with these people.

My initial idea for this post was to brag about what an awesome time I'm going to have on this holiday, but evidently things took a turn for the worst. Instead this is an insight into the sheltered lifestyle i lead.
