Hello, lovely readers. Something a bit different for Pop Couture. A picture post! During my lunch time today, I wanted to go to Bloom Cosmetics to check out the 40% off at their flagship store, soon to close. Then. I almost had forgotten, the pop-up store for One Direction had opened. Right next door!
Just a little assortment, believe me, only a little assortment of what was on offer there! More of 1D and the Bloom haul after the jump!
Hmm! Another rant filled post, well, less ranty and more video proof that we are just absolutely inferior when it comes to The Voice. I’m writing this before the first live performance show of the Australian Voice is over, but I haven’t seen a performance I’ve liked. And there was a guy that sang One Direction! Should have been gold! But instead, it made me cringe.
And the coaches are being SO sappy, nice, its annoying. Seal is groping his contestants, and reminds me of a creepy uncle you want to steer clear of. Argh. So I wanted to put together a couple of videos from the UK and US respectively just to show anyone out there that may think Australia’s offering was decent. The contestants may be decent, but the stylists, the sound, the coaching.. is not.
I give you contestants from the UK and the US… to show you, actual talent.
This first artist above the cut; Jay Norton on the UK Voice. Soul!
Three more, under the cut.
This isn’t news to some of you. You’re going to say, hello – I can go to Sydney Airport and get some. Or (and I didn’t even know this) Melbourne International Airport. Get a coffee, check your luggage, and get some sweet-scented bath gel and some frilly knickers.
I’m going to share with you though, that just this past weekend by simply a happy accident, I came across a Victoria’s Secret kiosk. In my local, not so Chadstone or even Doncaster shopping centre. (This will make sense to my Aussie readers) Not only that, but they have an online store. Music. To. My. ears. I couldn’t even help but tweet that I’d just come across it! Oh. My.
I spritzed myself quite a few times, then made a joke with the lovely lass there that she should have coffee beans on standby so I could distinguish! (And to feel fancy-pants). I bought myself the Mango Temptation body gel, and wow, it smells tropical and lush and GORGEOUS.
The pictures I included here is just some of what I actually did pick up at the Airport on my recent trip to Sydney (for Hot Chelle Rae and Taylor Swift). I sense the beginning of a beautiful, sweet friendship.
Oh wait! I didn’t tell you – the store is Secrets on Sale.
Right-o. To keep myself honest, and for everything to be on the table, and in front of the mirror, like Michael Jackson sang, I’m gonna make a change. I’m not turning into a man in the mirror, but I’m going to make a CHANGE.
Several months ago, I created a weight loss blog. Back then, the goal of ‘Seeking 12′ would have been more achievable. But things have enlarged. Rounded. I don’t want to use the word ballooned, but.. I’m starting to think my butt is a seperate entity on its own. (Ew, like that siamese twin episode in the X Files!)
ARG. Let’s not go there. In any case – if you want to see how I’m doing, or just leave a comment telling me that I need to FOCUS on myself, and not on a movie, or dreaming I HAD a celebrity lithe body, tell me. Visit Seeking 12.
A quick rant I need to get off my chest, readers.
Any show that gets an abundance of attention either before it airs its first episode, or calls for cancellation after the first, well I’m bound to be curious. When you even think of what the title Girls may allude to, naturally you might think of Sex and the City or Gossip Girl or anything that screams only a girl would watch this.
My rule of thumb with writing about a tv show is generally after a handful of episodes, or even say if I’m late to the bandwagon, I’ll feel inspired to write about it, to share my favourite elements. With this, with Girls, it is not a favourable post at all. In fact, as I told a friend on Twitter a few nights ago, I have never been so damn annoyed by watching something as with this. Really, truly! Not even when Alias season five was so mixed up and messy. I digress.
Here is where Girls just needs to ‘step off’ (to use an old Seinfeld reference).
