Santa Letter

Dear Santa,

Listen, you troll, I’ve been helping you out every year, playing at being the perfect Christmas present, wearing skimpy bathing suits in frigid weather, and drowning in fake tea from one too many tea parties, and I hate to break it to ya Santa, but IT’S DEFINITELY PAYBACK TIME! There had better be some changes around here this Christmas, or I’m gonna call for a nationwide meltdown (and trust me, you won’t wanna be around to smell it).

So, here’s my holiday wish list, Santa:

  1. A nice, comfy pair of sweat pants and a frumpy, oversized sweatshirt. I’m sick of looking like a hooker. How much smaller are these bathing suits gonna get? Do you have any idea what it feels like to have nylon and velcro crawling up your butt?
  2. Real underwear that can be pulled on and off. Preferably white. What bonehead at Mattel decided to cheap out and MOLD imitation underwear to my skin?!? It looks like cellulite!
  3. A REAL man…maybe GI Joe. Hell, I’d take Tickle-Me Elmo over that wimped-out excuse for a boyfriend Ken. And what’s with that earring anyway? If I’m gonna have to suffer with him, at least make him (and me) anatomically correct.
  4. Arms that actually bend so I can push the aforementioned Ken-wimp away once he is anatomically correct.
  5. Breast reduction surgery. I don’t care whose arm you have to twist, just get it done.
  6. A jog bra. To wear until I get the surgery.
  7. A new career. Pet doctor and school teacher just don’t cut it. How about a systems analyst? Or better yet, an advertising account exec!
  8. A new, more 90s persona. Maybe “PMS Barbie”, complete with a miniature container of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a bag of chips; “Animal Rights Barbie”, with my very own pain gun, outfitted with a fake fur coat andhandcuffs; or “Stop Smoking Barbie”, sporting a removable Nicotrol patch and equipped with several packs of gum.
  9. No more McDonald’s endorsements. The grease is wrecking my vinyl.
  10. Mattel stock options. It’s been 37 years — I think I deserve it.

OK, Santa, that’s it. Considering my valuable contribution to society, I don’t think these requests are out of line. If you disagree, then you can find yourself a new bimbo doll for next Christmas. It’s that simple.

Yours truly,

Barbie

Be never to late…..

big BNew categories: Beauty and Heath – so keep an eyes out for blog entries on anything concerning the wonderful world of cosmetics and being healthy.

I was told in late September that one of my favorite make-up company are closing down.

Be Never Too Busy To be Beautiful (in short – it simply Be Never) was closing down at the end of the year.

This is upsetting news and i admit i do not approved! For those who have never heard of it – it a joint venture between Lush Cosmetic, it sells make-up, bath bomb and perfume. What set it apart for other company that it made all natural and ethical, you go into a shop and instantly you feel like you stepped into a Aladdin lamp – i can’t really described it.

So after Christmas it bye bye bnever. Lush Cosmetic has said it will absorbed some of the products but i personally will missed the helpful staff and the wonderful make-up.

Oh well..i guess i will just order everything i can online and stock up.

Paint your dress

ColourInDressBox I came across an article from the Daily Mail written about ‘paint by number’ dress.

The dress was a collaboration between fashion designer Berber Soepboer and graphic designer Michiel Schuurman.

As a childs (or even now as an adults) you would paint by number – well now you paint by number on a dress!

The patten is  on the dress and using special pens you simply coloured it in..

I can’t help but think ‘wow’ what a cool idea!! you can choose what ever colour you want your dress to be.

This is something i will happily invest in the new year and i will keep you posted.

Grace Kelly Exhibition Coming in the New Year

This a little bit of a follow-on grace kelly post. thought it was intresting and reposted it on here.

Today London is busy working its style credentials hosting an auction selling artefacts and wardrobe belonging to elegant icon, Audrey Hepburn (see Related Content, right) and it looks like 2010 could be just as fashion fabulous with a new exhibition exploring the glamour of Grace Kelly. The Oscar-winning actress, known for her cool blonde roles in such classics as To Catch a Thief, Dial M for Murder and High Society, was, like Audrey, a vision of silver screen panache in the 1950s, before she married Prince Rainier of Monaco and retired from Hollywood. And this exhibition, to be held at the Victoria & Albert Museum from April next year, salutes the personal and professional career of Tinseltown’s true life princess.

Called “Grace Kelly: Style Icon”, the display will feature a number of amazing fashion items as modelled by Grace, both on duty in front of the cameras and as the dutiful wife, along with special mementoes, these broken day into three sections: “The Actress”, “The Bride” and “The Princess”.

Numbering over 50 outfits in total, the collection boasts such screen treasures as the black chiffon dress from Rear Window (pictured) and an evening dress and Grecian-style dressing gown as designed by MGM designer, Helen Rose. Also boasting a Hollywood connection is the gown she wore to the Oscars ceremony in 1955 when she won Best Actress for The Country Girl.

Other stunning wardrobe includes the belted shirtdress by Branell of New York which she wore when announcing the news of her engagement, the lace skirt and bodice that she wore to the actual civil marriage ceremony and other top designer treasures including the original Hermès “Kelly” bag (named after her), suits from Chanel, jewellery by Van Cleef and Arpels and 35 haute couture gowns from such names as Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Givenchy and Balenciaga.

Much of the collection will be loaned from the Palace Princier in Monaco and has excited both the museum and Grace’s son, Albert II. “Throughout her life she exuded effortless elegance,” says the current ruler of Monaco, “whether she was appearing at the most spectacular public occasion, or a simply family gathering.”

While, Jenny Lister, a curator of fashion and textiles at the V&A adds: “Grace Kelly epitomised the ladylike glamour and sophistication of the 1950s. She epitomised ‘style’ as opposed to ‘fashion’, and her appeal has remained timeless, with women today still emulating her understated chic.”
