La Galère


This is one of the most magic places in the world to me. It fills me with a sense of calm, the outside world ceases to exist and I am blissfully happy. Days spent tanning, swimming, eating well, drinking copious cocktails, and always excellent godsisterly company, it's the kind of place you never want to leave. The time spent there always seems to go by much too fast, but at the same time three revitalising days energise you in such a way that it feels like a month. I don't really know how to explain what this place does to me, to my insides, to my heart.

Every hour of the day here holds some kind of magic in the light and the way it hits the water, the rocks, the trees, the island.

In between waxing lyrical on how amazing everything is, and the ridiculousness of whining about irrelevant things like "oh god, it hurts my arms so much to have to hold my book up like this, but I simply cannot roll over- I'm not ready to tan my back yet" - there is the obligatory sillyness and excessive drinking -

our basket of essentials - suncream, tanning lotion, leg knives (pink), underwater camera casing for the waterproofing of certain goods on swimming trips (revitalising kit-kats and such) 
Dermot 'edward cullen from Twilight' Ryan ready for the swim
day time drinking is totes acceptable 
but we also enlighten our minds on global affairs...while drinking and tanning
we make poses in fluorescent tops, like awesomesauce douchebags
D does thoughtful looking day-drinking
We take our baby-foot tournaments very seriously. 
But not as seriously as we take our tanning/intercostals.
' The Triple Cherry'
' Dermot's Disaster ' (actually delicious)
After Cocktail hour we are good children and have communal tooth-brushing and get to bed at respectable hours.

I think I can hear my liver failing me.

As of today I'm self-imposing a ban on several things in my life:

 1. MONSTER- oh monster, i love you so, but you do bad things to my body and you make me do bad things in general. To quote lady Gaga, we are caught in a bad romance. But this is only going to end horribly for me, and i don't think it's entirely fair that you will escape unscathed, while i become the first person to enter rehab for MONSTER addiction. But you are just SO delicious... I'm going to have to wean myself off slowly, cold-turkey would kill me. I will limit myself to only one night of VODKAMONSTAA per week, and a maximum of 2 cans throughout the night. So please help curb my addiction, I need you all to be vigilant and make sure I don't overdose. 

 2. ALCOHOL - I mean, I don't have a problem or anything. I'm not dependent on it, but I just prefer it to the alternative. But lately things have become a little excessive. (From Textsfromlastnight.com this seems fitting-(704): Monday: I just need a drink Tuesday: OMG no more this week! Wednesday: oh shit how'd I get drunk Thursday: I'm glad you've stopped the pretenses). 
I realised I had hit new lows recently, I was staying at my mum's house and went out to drink at a basketball game. Yeah, that's right, I didn't go to watch a basketball game... I went with the main intention of getting smashed on 2euro beer and heckling the players (achieved both tasks). So I drunkenly stumble in at my mum's, fully expecting her to be asleep. Unfortunately she wasn't, and attempted to make conversation while I headed to the bathroom. My nickname isn't VOMGIRL for nothing... I end up falling asleep/passing out sitting on the bathroom floor with my head on the toilet seat. AND BEING WOKEN UP AND PUT TO BED BY MY MAMA. life fail? nah, hilarious anecdote. It unfortunately hasn't deterred me from drinking in the slightest, but I think I should start curbing it in...soon. 

 3. FOOD- yup, all food... liquids only. Patsy from AbFab style (Eddie: Patsy hasn't eaten since 1974.Patsy: A crisp, darling. A crisp.). Now don't get me wrong, I in no way at all think I'm fat or anything, I don't want to lose any drastic weight, I just want to fit into my skinny jeans without any hint of muffin top. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!? And as this summer has been totally freaking louche, all the excessive drinking, eating, partying has taken its toll on my waistline. The worst part is the vicious cycle that they all fit into... drink monster, get hungry, eat, drink vodkamonstaaa, get hungry, eat. 

I will probably fail on all of this by tomorrow. oh well. louche is as louche does. Here are some drunk pictures as a reminder that this is what happens when you drink VODKAMONSTAAAA...let it instill the fear in all of you.

This is what happens if you drink Monster

You make stupid faces


And style your hair like a skater boy in the 90's

then you go and make stupid VOMGIRL faces
lots of stupid faces (sorry for posting this vommy)
then you abuse your friends, and try to take their clothes off


peace&love&vodkamonstaaaa

Miss me yet?

I'm not going to apologise again for being erratic with my posts... I think my sporadic entries add to the charm and whimsical way of my blog... ok yeah right, I'm just being lazy and have been enjoying it too much to actually do things (or wear clothes) worth blogging about.

Being a stylist, most people assume that I must buy loads of clothes for myself, since I am always in the shops. But I think it actually makes me buy less (good thing) because I see so much stuff, everyday, it all just kind of lost its appeal... I lost the excitement of shopping. Which is kind of super sad times, as who doesn't love a nice bit of retail therapy??
But on the plus side it does make me appreciate the things I get, as I feel that they are chosen with more care and thought rather than an impulse purchase that i'll regret later.

So here are a few new belongings that I'm loving right now... as modeled by Skinny Minnie.

Suuukkkeeeehhhh! Vampire necklace

Amzing ring by Kalliroy (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kalliroi-Workshop/151927084836373) 
Also equally amazing bracelet by Kalliroy

powwwww leopard print vintage Dolce and Gabbana trousers. Haven't rocked them out yet though... 

Awesome old picture from thrift shop in Larnaca

New additions to my bracelet arm - orange rope one courtesy of my PookieTwin,  and turquoise beads&skulls from Elena :) 

CHIEFFEDDDDD jeans shorts from Monkey, and vintage frame with stitched hunting scene (super kitsch I love it) from the thrift shop in Larnaca
That's enough new stuff to keep me happy for now, but I mean... I'm not going to turn away any gifts that might come my way... just saying... 

peace&love&vampfangs
