October, 2008

So, as those of you who know me will testify, I’m fur-reakin’ out about my BIG birthday, which FYI, is in 7 days time.

I want to be okay about it, I want to Think Pink about it, I want to be able to say it’s ‘just a number’ but, right now, I’m finding that waaaaay too difficult. I really don’t know what the big deal is, all I know is that it is. A big deal, that is. Grr.
So, I’m denying all knowledge of the actual numbers and instead, I’m filling my last week of twenty-dom with fun times, like… my tattoo - which is all healed up now and looking super-cute, seeing Vampire Weekend - I stayed in the mosh pit for at least 3/4 of the gig, something I didn’t even do when I was 18 - go me! I drank cocktails, ate yummy food and danced to indie/prep rock with the girls on Saturday, I’m going to see HSM3 this evening, and the rest of the week will be about lunches with fabulous people, dancing with strangers, planning new projects and adventures, oh…and I’m going to eat a lot of cupcakes, because, well…I like doing that a lot.

What do you suggest I do in my last week of twenty-dom? If I do it, I’ll send you a prize!

I am a total smitten kitten for the beyond fabulous Canadian-based Smitten Kitten!

The Smitten Kitten line of prods is created by the awesome Miss Amy and is a mixture of vintage curiousity and retro-style fabulousness all in a package of ca-ute. Personally, I’m in heart with the penpal writing sets - I want all of them!

Awesome Amy has come to hang in our world o’ pink, I’m so excited! Come meet her and find out all about SK and the cutest range of prods you ever did see - by the end of this feature you’ll be a smitten kitten, for sure!

I NEED to share my new product crush.

As if the Lee Stafford range of prods weren’t fabulous enough - they smell dee-lish and come in super-cute pink packaging - they’ve now gone and added a touch of sparkle for the party season, which FYI, should be EVERY season…

It’s appropriately called Bling and is a party range for hair. It’s got all the prods you’ll need to get ready to go out like glimmer serums and sparkle sprays, as well as everything to treat partied-out hair the following day like, detox shampoo and wake-up call spray - how fabu is that?

My personal fave is the essential ingredient for any Pink Lady’s big night out -  Sparkle Spray!

It’s £5.99 for 200ml and is a quick and easy, instant sparkle spray that will add maximo glitz and glamour to your ensemble, will make your hair shimmer and shine and it smells just as sweet as the rest of the Lee Stafford range - hurrah!

To get your hands on the Lee Stafford Bling range, head to your nearest Boots store, pronto!

“…Lisa, when I came to see you at an event recently, I saw that you had an amazing tattoo on your foot - do you have any others? I’m 16 and really want a tattoo, but my mum says I’m not allowed one as it looks cheap and it’ll stop me from getting a job - what do you think?…” 

Cherry, Leics

Okay Cherry, here’s the deal. I have a HUGE passion for tattoos. I just love the idea of using your body as a beautiful canvas on which to collect one-of-a-kind art work. I do not, however, love the idea of getting the name of your current boy du jour scrawled on your arm only to find out a week later that he’s not your lifetime-long partner in soul after all…

So, with this in mind, I shall now discuss tattoo-age.

The subject? Fashion and Beauty - hurrah!
