I'm so snappy happy.

I thought I would introduce you to my photography, seeing as how I talk about photographers all the time and don't seem to mention myself. I'm not exactly the best in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but I am deeply interested in it and hopefully one day I'll be able to exhibit it and various countries around the world. Wow, now that would be awesome *drool*.

My work has so far been featured in three publications, Keroauc's Dog, Girlfriends Zine and Petrichor Review. Please check them all out if you get a spare moment! Anyway, I'm going to shut up now and let my images do the talking. Have a good Christmas guys and dolls! <3

give me views please to make my christmas! ta XO

It's Music to My Ears: Pegasus Bridge.

The Guys: Pegasus Bridge

Due to spending emense amounts of my life in the art block at school, I have come to discover a band (who have actually, unfortunately, broken up. Bad times) called Pegasus Bridge, from Manchester, England.

Unfortunately my laptop is being a tad mean and won't let me onto their myspace page but I can give you guys the link: www.myspace.com/pegasusbridge

Cover artwork for 'Yoko'. My gaaaad I DO love that song!

The lead singer's voice is to DIE for, especially on my favourite track on their album, 'Yoko'. It's a song about John Lennon's and Yoko Ono's relationship. Genius. Their album is called 'While We're Young' and is sadly their first and last album. For some strange reason they broke up and now, since I have discovered them a little too late, I am devastated as I shall never be able to see them live :(

The album artwork for, 'While We're Young'

Their album is now available on iTunes for a really great frice of only £4.49 which includes two bonus accoustic tracks so grab make sure you download now at such a steal!

Seriously, give it a listen cause now I drink coffee not just ribena and I like it!

Wingardium Levi-Tv Show!





The cast of the epic new series from left to right:
Thomas Dekker, Shelley Hennig, Britt Robertson, Louis Hunter, Phoebe Tonkin and Melissa Glaser.







So I don't know if you've heard, but a fairly kickass show has hit Sky Living (or CW for any Americano's out there) called The Secret Circle which just so happens to be an adaption of L.J. Smith's book of the same name. It's the second of her books to be made into a TV series, for those of you who haven't read or watched The Vampire Diaries, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

L. J. Smith's other supernatural creation, The Vampire Diaries.

The Secret Circle had been advertised a lot promoting its premier last week, so I thought I'd take a chance on it and see if it was any good. I had no idea at the time it was based on one of L.J. Smith's books, I have read all of her Night World (of which I am still eagerly awaiting the final book, Strange Fate) series and I have watched the first season of The Vampire Diaries and have loved every chapter/episode, so when I found out this was another one of her creations I think it's safe to say I died a little in my pure excitement, not to mention the fact I go all jelly like whenever I see Thomas Dekker's face so that may have added to it.



Love is in the air for Adam and Cassie.



The show is about a Californian teen named Cassie Blake who sadly loses her mother in a mysterious house fire and so has to move to live with her grandmother in the small town her mother left behind many years ago along with a former life that is teeming with a manajorie of secrets, of which one of the most major of all is revealed to Cassie when she firsts arrives... she's a witch. Shocker I know. But it gets better, trust me. On her first day she has a few chance encounters with the too gorgeous Adam Conant, who is hinted at by his drunken father to Cassie, that his son and she are soul mates. This just so happens to be proven as Adam is a warlock himself (along with four other misfits hence 'the secret circle' as they all have the secrets of being witches and they're in this coven and yeah you get it) and when he tries to prove to Cassie she is in fact a budding magical youth by performing a spell with her, his magic is intensified by their connection and they make thousands of these little water droplets float around them whilst the sunlight falls on them in a forest. Oh my god so much swoon over that scene it's unreal.

Screw vampires, witches are the new hotties in hollywood!

I've already given too much away, so I won't say much more, just that it's a damn hot show with a very talented and beautiful cast and a guaranteed to be A-MEH-ZING storyline as, let's admit it, L. J. Smith is one of the most brilliant writers of contempory teenage fiction today.

Watch it people, you can catch it Wednesdays on Sky Living at 8pm or Thursdays on CW 9/8c and hopefully it'll put a spell on you as it did me. Haha, sorry I couldn't resist ;D

It's Music to My Ears: Local Natives.

Band crush: Local Natives.

Local Natives have recently entered my top five favourite bands (which I shall no doubt blog about at some point so be prepared). I recently purchased their album, recorded in 2008 to then be released in 2009, Gorilla Manor and found myself falling in love with their wonderful harmonies and their all over indie rock appeal. Who would've thought that an album that was named after and written in a house that they all lived in together could sound so beautiful? How they ever managed to find so much  inspiration when they were forever confind to only a few rooms is beyond me. I guess talent must be on the tap for these guys.

Hard at work being rockstars.

They originate from Silver Lake, Los Angeles and include the band memebers; Taylor Rice (who has the most INSANE mustache I have seen in years, reminiscent of Freddie Mercury's in fact), Kelcey Ayer, Ryan Hahn, Matt Frazier and Gabe Noel who is temporarily stepping as their bass player as their previous bass player, Andy Hamm, decided to part ways with the band. They came together during high school and eventually they managed to commit to the band full time and so, even though they had no manager or label to help them out, they managed to book their own gigs, create their own artwork and networked via blogging and so eventually they captured record executive's and the media's eye after gaining so much hype on the internet.

Looking very happy/exhausted after playing an arena gig.



After the completion of their album the band went and played nine (yes, nine) shows at the 2009 SXSW which gained them many favourable reviews comparing them to the likes of Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes and Grizzly bear just to name a few. Not bad for your first few reviews to compare you with the likes of those giants huh? Since the begining of 2011 they have been on their European Tour and I must say I am sincerely gutted I didn't discover them sooner as I have now missed the opportunity to see them for they have rolled in and out of the UK :'( Oh well, not to worry, they happened to announce at Loolapalooza that they are about to start recording their next album so I can see them perform even more songs on their next tour! YAY.

Contemplating ideas for future guitar riffs.

So I would definitely recommend purchasing Gorilla Manor by Local Natives. I've had it on non-stop repeat ever since I bought it a month ago, so 1/12 of my year has been stolen by them, hehe, but I don't mind. Also, if you're strapped for cash and can't afford a whole album right this second, then I recommend you get one of these five singles which I believe to be the best on the album (in no particular order though, that's just too hard to choose).

1. World News

2. Wide Eyes (random fact: it was written about an acid trip ahaa)

3. Sun Hands

4. Cubism Dream

5. Camera Talk

You can sample their music on their myspace and here on their YouTube channel.

Happy listening everybody and, btw, Taylor Rice is MINE.

Spencer Vs. The World

the man himself.

Spencer Wohlrab is a photographer based in New York who has quickly become one of my favourites this year.

I stumbled across him whilst looking through Ryan McGinley's work and finding him mention that his intern, Chad Moore, was also an aspiring photographer and then I found that he just so happened to be friends with Spencer. So I manged to kill three birds with one stone! Lucky eh? Soooo anyway... Spencer's work is pretty much all on film, capturing the candid moments of youth living in New York. He pretty much documents his life through photography, by that of a photo journal he has on his site where you are constantly bombarded with pictures of him and his friends partying, drinking and getting up to all sorts of crazy things in the city. You can have a flick through his journal on his website, but I'd set aside a few hours to do so if I were you, he leaves no stone left unturned with nearly every other day for the past two years having been documented!

an example of his documentation, a snowball fight in New York's winter.

He doesn't just photograph his own life however, oh no, Spencer has recently photographed campaigns for the likes of MARC JACOBS, awesome huh? He has also photographed for Ksenia & Ash, as well as having a portfolio filled with beautiful models that he has shot and even has published his own photo book which included these hauntingly beautiful scenes he took in Iceland.

the Marc Jacobs campaign.

from his book, Iceland.

Having already published one book, he is now working on another which will be a compilation of photos of and pertaining to his New York experience. It promises to be full of tragedy, heartbreak, and remorse and I personally cannot wait to order my own copy!

I highly recommed checking his work out and, if you happen to find you love it as much as me, you can keep up to date with his latest projects and partying habits via his twitter. I follow him and he has some pretty cool tweets, plus he followed me back so now I'm swooning. Yeah I know, I said swooning, I don't care. I am.

WAFFLES GIRLS DON'T DIE.



an average day of a waffle girl.



I'd thought I'd lose my bloginity to someone/something I really loved and so I have decided to give it away to The Waffles Girls.

They are this collection of super massive black hole awesome girls, including the budding young starlet Sky Ferreira no less, formed in 2005 who create very cool tees, generally with the slogans, 'Waffles Girls Don't Die', 'Waffles + Falafels', 'Real Girlz Do Real Things' and blog to their hearts content about all sorts of trending topics such as the ultimate tv show Gossip Girl and the not so trendy topics such as having pizza parties where some of the attendies dress up as pizzas. The latter sounds a little odd I know, but I tell ya now I'd probably drop dead in a 'HOLY MOTHER OF GOD YESS!!' moment if I was asked to attend.



the infamous pizza parties.

Their random antics aside, they individually are very talented people. I've already mentioned Sky Ferreira (who has quickly become my favourite artist this year after turning into a nutjob and not logging off YouTube until I watched every single video featuring her + I want her hair ok?) who is a wonderfully gifted singer, Hilary Bankz who is a brilliant writer/blogger and has written for the likes of Fashion Indie and Styleite and Lovisa the Intern? Well, she just loves food.

They're going to be starting their very own reality show on YouTube sometime this year, so be sure to check out their channel, facebook and twitter to keep yourselves updated on their hilarity and genius. Speaking of twitter, they retweeted me the other day. I tweeted, 'I wanna be an @wafflesgirls it's, like, the dream.' and damn right it is. WAFFLES GIRLS DON'T DIE. THEY MULTIPLY!
