We’re a week away from the big 01/01/2010 and I’m already pissed just thinking about the phone calls. Because if there’s one thing I hate besides people who wish you a happy new year’s 2 weeks after, it’s people who insist on calling at exactly 12:00am 01/01/XXXX. As if I too were up watching gay casting couch alumni Ryan Seacrest cement his #1 spot as most annoying person in the history of annoying people…ever.

I think I’m just going to return the favor by calling them at midnight 01/02/2010. Yup. See how that works out for em.

The AllSaints SALE is now on at AllSaints.com across all sites, the UK/ European language sites and the US site. The AllSaints SALE is also across all UK/Europe stores and in the Bloomingdales New York Concession and the newly opened LA Robertson BVLD store.

Get yourself something pretty to wear for Christmas Day or how about a lovely party dress in time for New Years Eve? Good timing AllSaints!

Merry Christmas.

Is Christmas over yet?

My diet is pretty strict, so I pretty much stick to the 6 Basic Holiday Groups

The 6 Basic Holidays are

New Years Eve
Birthday
Halloween
Independence Day
Christmas
Deathday

These are the six groups promoted by the USDF (United States Department of Fun). In reality, the Christmas products are unnecessary for adults but the USDC (United States Devils for Consumerism) works to promote Debt; its website even says to not use the guidelines for authoritative statements. It’s not completely bad if it promotes healthy partying. The last group is mentioned as holidays that are to be used sparingly.

I want to wear my NYE dress, drink champagne, kiss lots and lots of people at midnight and start another year of heartbreak and debauchery. WHO’S WITH ME?!?

Hello Dolls and Action Figures…

I just wanted to send out a short message of forgiveness and good time loving, to all the delicious followers out there.

It’s a jam packed summer for me, shooting some new films, maybe releasing a follow up single or two to accompany the hit smashing album “Can’t stop forgetting again”.  I’ll also be appearing at various gigs over the summer…

Even if you don’t see me out there, you’ll feel my presence…  So with that in mind….

Vinyl Burns is coming to town...

Happy Christmas.

Well it’s been an eventful week, but I’m finally back in sunny ol’ Cornwall.

The train journey home was very interesting, delays and an arrest adding to the misery of the journey. (And before you ask it wasn’t me that was arrested lol).

Another peice of good news is the fact that I’m going to the NASUWT young teachers conference in Birmingham on the 23rd of January 2010. This is quite exciting and my first oppurtunity to get involved with a union. Everything’s paid for even the travel, accommodation and food, so I can’t complain really… Being a student teacher does have it’s benefits .

Being home is a bit like detox. I won’t be going out until New Years Eve probably, so really looking forward to that. I have no idea what to dress up as, but I better think fast. Looe is well known for it’s NYE parties so that’s where we shall goooo!

Anyway I hope you all have a lovely Christmas. Byeeee. x

Well, we’re back in Texas… woohoo!  We’re living north of  Houston now and are looking for the hottest New Years Eve party.  Any ideas?

Not only is New Year’s Eve a Full Moon, but also a Blue Moon. It’s also an eclipse – partial umbral lunar eclipse best viewable in Asia and Europe.

Get ready to do some howling…

I have a bad case of wanderlust. Every chance I get, I am on a plane to explore something new. New Years Eve gives me the perfect excuse. Here is my list of the top 10 places you should be come midnight on January 31^st:

1.)    New York City Sort of an obvious choice. This has been a NYE tradition for years. Join one million people in the middle of Times Square as they celebrate the ringing in of the New Year with the drop of the infamous New Year’s Eve ball from the top of the flagpole of One Times Square.

2.)    Sydney, Australia They definitely know how to party down under with firework shows over the harbor at 9pm and midnight. The perfect evening: A cocktail cruise around the harbor on a beautiful yacht.

3.)    Rio de Janeiro, Brazil If you want to start the New Year with an all-out party, grab your swimsuit and white garb (traditionally thought to bring good luck)and head to the beautiful beaches of Brazil, and watch the fireworks from the pristine beaches of Copacabana

4.)    . Las Vegas, Nevada The city of sin is a perfect way to bring in the New Year. An ode to non-stop parting all-year long, Vegas rolls out the red carpet on Jan. 31^st to host the several celebs and jetsetters in town.

5.)    Negril, Jamaica If you are going for an island New Years, check out the colorful, casual beaches of Jamaica.

6.) Paris, France The city of light gets additional help with fireworks near the Eiffel Tower and nightlight that ranges from formal balls to small parties.

7.) London, England Cruise down the Thames River or gather at The London and watch Big Ben bring in the New Year at the stroke of midnight.

8.) Miami, Florida The younger jet set crew heads here to the sexy beaches and exotic nightlife. Watch fireworks from your glam hotel, or any of the many South Beach parties.

9.) Edinburgh, Scotland Scotts keep the party going with a four day celebration! Known as the biggest street party in Europe, join celebrating Europeans for celebration events for all ages!

10.) Bangkok, Thailand Bangkok celebrates New Years’ three times annually; January for Chinese New Year, April for Thai New Year and December for Western New Year.

Snyder Event Rentals presents the 9th Annual Snyder Grand Ball

So maybe I’m a little late in the game, but 2010 is, like, soon. It feels like only yesterday that I was sitting on my daybed thinking, “this is the last time we can sing ‘Tonight We’re Gonna Party Like it’s 1999′” as I placed 5 too many butterfly clips into my hair and rocked out in my platform gym shoes.

God I feel old.

But I digress. New Year’s Eve is hands down the best excuse to dress up. But that doesn’t mean you gotta splurge on some hot frock that will look great in pictures, but not so great sitting in the back of your closet for the next 2 years because you have nowhere to wear it again. There are plenty of ways to spice up your look for the big night by adding some fun pieces to the stuff you already own. Here are just a few not-a-dress options to ring in the big 20-10.

Skirt:
You gotta rock something shiny on NYE, and this skirt is just perfect. I love red and gold together, which is why I paired this shimmery skirt with a basic red tank. But if red is only your color when your monthly friend comes to visit, throw on a basic black scoop tank or tee, black tights and pumps and this look is good to go.

Cuff, Forever 21

Romper
There’s something about a romper that just screams, “I’m totally chic.” And this one has just the right amount of sparkle for the special night. You canpair with tights if you’re not in Miami…and shave your legs if you are. Feel free to play with textures, like sequined shoes, chunky tights and a bold cuff. Or keep it simple and throw on a colored bag or bangle for a pop.

Tights, Forever 21
Cuff, Forever 21

Leggings
You already own some leggings, obviously, so dress them up with a bold (and long!) sequin top. You’ll dazzle into the new year and be super comfortable to boot. Just make sure to keep everything else pretty neutral so you don’t look like you just fell out of a Prince music video.

Top, Forever 21
Leggings, Forever 21
Pumps, Nordstrom

Jeans
I love, love, love this body suit. Yes, it’s a body suit. Yes, body suits remind me of jazzercise videos from the 90s. But tucked into jeans (or a skirt) it’s fashion genius: it’s sexy, fitted, and you don’t have to worry about it bunching. And can we talk about how hot the back is?

OK, so it may be a problem when your New Year’s Kiss wants to get busy…or when you drink too much champagne and have to go to the bathroom every 3 minutes, but it’s probably the most versatile piece you could pick up for the big night. Just think of all the other places you could work this thing. And, really, you can sparkle it up as much or as little as you want. Add a big, bold necklace. Throw on some bangles. Slip into a bright colored shoe. And roll into the new year without looking like you tried too hard.

L’Oreal Elnett Hairspray
I usually hate hair spray. I was scarred by my senior year roommate who sprayed an entire massive can of extra hold spray into her hair on a daily basis. In fact, if I close my eyes I can still taste the left-over mist in my mouth. It really made it a joy to pee…and shower… for a year. I so badly wanted to tell her that 80s bangs and poofy hair left with – uh – the 80s, but instead, I added hairspray to my food diary… and held my breath for dear life every time I had to go near the bathroom.

But, the fact is, sometimes, a girl needs some spray. When you’re curling your hair, when you have a Jew fro (unfortch, me), when you need to tame fly-aways without making your hair look like you just rubbed grease all over it…

Enter from stage left: the best new hairspray ever from beauty giant, L’Oreal. Apparently Europe has been in The Know on this stuff for years, but some ingredient made it illegal to sell in the U.S. Not anymore! With a new formula this bad boy is on shelves nationwide and, once everyone is in The Know, it will be flying off said shelves quite soon. It’s non-sticky, non-smelly, and specially formulated for all different types of hair. Now my hair looks good and my tongue is not coated with some stank taste of product. Mission accomplished.

Danskin Women’s Supplex/Lycra Capri Legging
When leggings first came into trend, I stole a pair I found buried in my mom’s drawer of 90s puff-paint sweatshirts and pin-on accessories. Truth. But regardless of their roots, they are my favorite leggings I own and the only ones I wear. Every single day. But can you blame me? They suck everything in and make my legs look damn good while still being comfortable enough that I feel like I have room to eat that extra cookie. And still look good.

I’ve wanted another pair forever (because wearing the same pants every day is gross) but whatever 90s company made them no longer exists. But, hollerrrr, I recently learned that the brand Danskin makes leggings that do the exact same thing. Calf or ankle length, these Supplex leggings are a must-have for your wardrobe. You’ll look hot, your butt won’t jiggle when you walk and you can even work them at the gym.

Lippman Collections’ Happy Birthday Nail Polish
I will be the first to admit that $20 is a lot to spend on a nail polish. But Lippman Collections’ Happy Birthday may be worth it. It’s multi-colored glitter makes your finger nails look like your 3rd grade art project and, really, who doesn’t want that? Could it be I’m so into this shade because I want revenge for the time in 7th grade I brought home gold glitter Hard Candy nail polish and my mom yelled at me and told me no daughter of hers would wear that crap on her nails and then made me return it? Sure. But I also think it’s pretty, it’s shiny, it’s fun and it’s the perfect holiday party/NYE polish. And if you like the idea of shimmer but sequins aren’t your thing, this is a great way to add some shine without looking like you’re wearing a dance costume (says the girl who is typing this while sporting her sequined black and gold headband from her 2001 dance costume…).
