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. 

ouch.

did someone drop kick me in the face... and then continuously over my entire body? Because that's how non awesome I am feeling... but with a small tinge of awesome because I had a mad fun Shark attack evening last night. I think I can call it a success of an evening, there were no tears and no vomming (so maybe it was in actual fact a failure for me as a vomgirl but oh well) and I managed to stay upright all evening. And people got their dance on which always makes me super pumped! So for those of you who attended, thank you ever so much, you made my night.

Although I feel like my body is currently melting into my delightfully comforting bed, I have to get up and get pumped up for more drinking and merriment. I sincerely hope I don't vom on anyone. Especially you...yeah that's right...you.
I wish you all the best of luck on your evening's endeavors, drink, vom, make out. (although maybe not in that order)

Here is a delightful picture of a bunch of dead bugs on sticky paper. To remind you (and me) that no matter how bad you're feeling... you aren't a dead fly stuck to paper.

Something I miss

Something I miss about living in a big city like London is the anonymity that an individual can choose to have at any given time. I miss walking along Oxford street not knowing anyone, no one knowing me or my business.

I used to stand on the edge of the platform waiting for my train to come, and I used to think, I could disappear right now. I could choose to get on some random other train, turn my phone off, see where I end up. Disappear for a few hours, or days... and just be somewhere were no one on earth knows I am. I liked that feeling that I could slip between the cracks and just exist in nothingness for a little while. I feel like my mind would be wiped clear and empty, weight would be lifted from my shoulders and I'd feel good again for a while.

Living in Cyprus makes me heavy. I get blocked and full by my day to day activities and I don't have the freedom of anonymity to disappear and clear my soul. I become anxious and distracted by simple problems. I fill my soul with mindlessness to consume my time and energy. I drink vodkamonster (grr) and let the crazy out for a few hours, I buy shoes that sparkle and make me happy through my consumerism, I smile and make conversation, I wear lipstick and think about kissing boys and drinking wine. I exist, and don't get me wrong, I live a good life, I have good friends and a job I enjoy. So what else am I looking for?

Peace&Love&Soul

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. 

VampBoobs

Boardshorts,bracelets,VODKAMONSTAA.

Neon

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 

Blog Fail

Starting something with an apology is never too good, but I feel pretty bad at being such a slacker on the blog front. I have been in full on lazy summer mode. When brain function is at an all time low coupled with the sheer energy it takes to just type, and the fact that my days have been filled with...with... umm.. a lot of nothing... well it leads to an empty blog. So here goes, I am sorry internet world for not being a faithful blogger. I promise to try harder, i'll get better, just give me one more chance. (Wow blogging is really like a relationship, you have to put so much into it to get any results, and unless it's truly great, it inevitably comes to an end. Hmm... I'm no good at relationships, let's hope I'm better at blogging)

Summer is flying by, yet somehow I feel like I'm still waiting for it to actually start. That's going to be a huge disappointment once work picks up again. Last summer I spent a month in NYC and then London, it was beyond amazingly fun times, but it was so active and busy that I got back feeling like I needed another month of lying on the beach doing eff all. And I got back and got thrown in the deep end at work, so I am really enjoying doing a whole lot of nothing, and mentally preparing for going back to work with a fresh mind.

Ok enough of my rambling nothingness. Forgive me again, as throughout all the fun things I have been doing lately, I haven't been snapping any pictures. I suck at this. So here is a little mélange of what has been occupying my days of late...

Skinny Minnie. I seem to be more concerned that she is nourished than myself.  I guess that's what parenthood is like.

VODKA+MONSTER=GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Been watching A LOT of hot vampires...

...see. hot.

Lusting after the MiuMiu trainers

Dreaming of the soon to be released Missoni for target collection.

Taken the odd incriminating photo...

Got trashed at a basketball game

Did the occasional photoshoot

Peace&love
