many faces of magnificent minnie...

(with an assist from me). Hello little happy friday kitty cats! It's the weekend, superfab! Can you sense my excitement through my excessive use of exclamation points?! yes! hurrah! 

So here is a great way to start your weekend- as Minnie is the cutest loveliest cuddliest most kawaii dog ever, and she fills everyone with happiness take look at many many pictures of how adorbz she is (with silly faces from me in the background). Let yourself be consumed by overwhelming love for her, and annoyance for how ridiculous I am for taking a bazillion pictures of my dog. But I just can't even begin to express my feelings for this little person, well those of you with a pet will hopefully understand. Anyway, I'll stop this now. I hope you all have an amazing weekend. And if your pet/lover/child/vodka/pizza is next to you right now, give them a kiss and tell them how much you love having them in your life. 

Backstage Omikron

Hitting the streets tomorrow is the latest issue of Omikron magazine, featuring a cover story we shot of the actress Elia Ioannidou. It was nice to do a pretty shoot with some of the new spring collections. oh so bright! oh so floral! oh so not my style! but oh well, it can't all be vomgirl related ey?

Bike Crew BBQ, a prelude

The delightful bike crew decided to throw a little barbeque the past weekend, it was a brilliant of course. Preluding the bbq we did a bit of pre-party planning and shopping (locally of course, because apparently we are hipsters). And then we hung about in the beautiful overgrown garden being silly.

getting ready to go out

So here I am home alone on a friday night, it's been quite a long time since that's occurred. I forgot how fun it can be getting all sparkled up while listening to music and dancing like a tit around the house. I hope everyone's weekends are off to a great start, pump up some music and get out of the house!

I think it's been rather a long while since I've done a photo-shoot related post, so here we go. This serves mainly to remind you that I actually do work and don't just spend my time jet-setting to far-flung places and being generally amazeballs. A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting the actor Marios Demetriou for the upcoming issue of Omikron Magazine. It was a fun shoot as we got to be really random and outlandish and not the usual pretty/styley/perfect/posey. I had two lovely friends helping me out as extra's, and they got into character so well, as did Marios who took to his villainous role with exceptional ease. I was also blown away by my make up artist of the day, Crystal Michael, who I had the pleasure of working with for the first time. She really brought the characters to life and complemented the styling perfectly. Also, I found a giraffe. So that was cool too. 

Hope you enjoy the pics and check out the full shoot in the next Omikron

Like a high-five from baby jesus

So there I am riding my ladybike home from town at sunset the other day, feeling very at peace with the world, very happy and positive and overflowing with good vibes (holy crap, I'm an accidental hippy aren't I?) and then POWWWWW.... I look ahead and see this... which literally left me speechless with awesomeness. There is something so instantly magical about sunset, and this one was so spectacular that I leapt from my bike and ran into the middle of the street so I could get a better picture of it (I was forward thinking enough to check there were no cars coming, obv). It was like an affirmation from somewhere (I'm not religious, so I'm not saying it was from baby jeez (but we're cool)) like a little reminder that things are all good, and life is on a pretty sweet path. so yey to that kitties.


We decided to shake things up a little on yesterday's Bike Crew Ride and instead of going on the path, we roamed the streets of town. My suppressed loucheness caught up with me and I ditched the ride to go down to Xaratsi for a beer instead...naughty but totes worth it. But we made our way back to each other in the end, so it all worked out just fine, justifying my alcoholism.

This is tonight at Omikron Gallery and should be awesome, come down an support arrrrtttt and culllturrree sweetie darlings!

Peace&Love&Art

slacker

Sorry for being somewhat of a slack-alice lately, got caught up in wedding-ing, weekend shenanigans and whatnot. But you know, I have to experience things in order to be able to have some sort of excitement to write about, no?
The main highlight of late was being the maid of honour for my lovely ladyfriend Tania. I am no good with churches and priests, and weddings and tears... I'm good at the drinking and dancing portion of the evening so I did ok then... but I was a bit of a nervous mess until the booze started flowing. Especially as I had many awkwardly hilarious tasks to perform that I was unawares of... like dancing round the bride to a room full of people. Yeah I looked like a tit. But it was awesome. I also managed to behave somewhat normalsaucely in the church, which took a great deal of restraint on my part, especially when I was forced to embellish the truth about being baptised to the priest (I thought the church would burst into flames). But all went relatively dramz free, which was awesome. And the party was great- dancing round barefoot like a little child is always fun.

The happy couple and parents!

The rest of the weekend was sun-filled and fancy-free, my tan is getting pretty epic already considering it is only May (biggest benefit of living on a sunny island)  

Roof tanning madness

Little ladybird friend that attacked me on the beach!

That would be my posey suntan face.
