Overexposed photos full of life and happiness; youth and spirit. I've got no discipline again. I'm looking for it but all I find are smiles and stay-a-whiles. That feeling of possibility I had as a little girl came looking for me and now it's all over everything. I play, I create, I experiment, I experience. The ferris wheel is finally working and fairy lights abound. I feel so full of colour and there is so much art waiting to be made. I threw out all of the old world cluttering up my space. I feel beautiful and elated, the personification of all I chased for so long. The fear is dismantled, the sludge is kicked off my boots. No more second-guessing, no more doubting, no more overthinking. Nothing to lose. Nothing to prove. Just a girl with a flash. Blink and you'll miss me.

There are a few products/items I have a cult obsession with. Jean Paul Gaultier's Fragile fragrance is one of these. The Fragile campaign was intoxicating; I'm a pale gal that has resisted tanning and when I saw how enchantingly milky the model looked next to super bronzed Aztec sun men I was down with being in her club. 


That goldilocks guy looks like he's writing a sonnet about her thigh in his head but I'm kinda disappointed with inexplicably dreadlocked guy, his focus is too non-committal for my liking.


But hold on a sec! You're telling me that the fragrance is housed in a gold glitter snowglobe with a muse inside!? I had been waiting for this like a bag lady at a bus stop. Sparkly and funtional is serious business (this doesn't apply to most sparkly things, like say vampires). The scent is a bonus, it has mysterious tuberose notes which has satisfying depth to it. I love switching perfumes to go with seasons/holidays/events because it instantly evokes that time whenever I wear it again. x

Here are two teasers of the Thread magazine photoshoot that I styled and shot, unedited photos are due on Wednesday and I finished them today. I'm so glad and surprised that it's complete. Now all it needs is a round of photoshop at a later date. I love styling, it's very fun.

Since I'm already Miss last minute when it comes to deadlines, my second working flaw doesn't help me; when I have something hanging over my head I work hard on something entirely different! Last week I had to hand in patterns and I started making rings. I don't think I'm cut out for this responsibility thing.

It's been such a long day of work and now I need to get started on my new Sanlam storyboards. Would love to take a bath but my bathtub is full of handbags and glitter...as usual.
