Disco, Disco, Discoooo

                                                           Disco, Disco, Discooooo




I really like these tight skinned Lycra/spandex pants. I discovered these on a YouTube video I was watching one time and had been hunting for a pair since then. It is a combination of dancing leggings and trousers to make these disco, party pants! They are quite fun, but seem incredibly uncomfortable to wear if they are made out of satin, in which they most probably are. I have been hunting for a pair and the cheapest I have found so far is 40! Thats CraAzy expensive and American Apparel are selling a pair for 70! Thats bonkers. The price tag and item couldn't be more far apart and I'm determined to find a pair for a lot cheaper. I like the versatility of them as you can wear them with a long or short top and get away with them being leggings or trousers, and they stop just on the ankle so you an show off your shoes on a night out. C'mon disco pants- hamper down your price so I can get me a pair!

Sci-Fi or Poo-Pie?

If you HAVE NOT seen this film, than DO NOT read on, otherwise please continue :)


Having high hopes for a Ridley Scott film and having directed the infamous Alien and Hannibal, it was unfortunately disappointing. Perhaps it was the modern influence of futuristic thinking with overly high-tech gear that seemed a hell of a lot more advanced than when the first Alien was made (Prometheus being the prequel of Alien), that made the film seem as if the piece did not quite fit the puzzle. Throughout the film, the scenes appeared mis-matched and I wasn't quite sure how or why so & so happened. At first I thought it was me being stupid and thinking I didn't understand it, but my friend experienced a similar encounter. For example; I have no idea why the robot poisoned one of the scientists. I wasn't sure whether the robot wanted to do it for experimental purposes or because he felt some resentment towards the scientist. Both are driven by human emotions, and he is a ROBOT, a freaking ROBOT.... so I didn't get it. I also found it quite interesting how they collaborated the idea of God-like creators and a bunch of scientists and experts to find out who or what created the human race and why. I thought the concept of science and religion were suppose to be on opposite ends?? It was only really towards the end that I grasped an idea of how THE Alien came to existence. It was all because of that bastard robot, sorry Prometheus, but you are not worth a 3.5/5 star for me.

Sequin, Sequins, SEQUINS!


It's Bling




A multi-coloured dreamworld. A recent purchase from an online vintage shop. I was very pleased after I had found this piece. I had been hunting for a sequenced blazer for a while  and the ones I had stumbled across in the past were very boring, 'safe' or just ugly. This one was loud, made out of silk, hand-made, had shoulder pads and one of a kind. I love how it fastens on the neck line and makes it look like a kind off Indian style sherwani jacket.. The extravagant, shiny detailing  gives the impression it should be part of a costume and should be worn in a theatrical act as it is a bit of a statement piece after all. I will team this with  black skinny jeans and top. I know many will find this blazer insanely disgusting but as Marmite says " you either love it, or hate it." 



So I purchased another..... quite different this time, has a bit of a 'granny' effect and looks like it should be worn by the older generation. Both  purchased from the same store and I am very happy.
