Love Fools

...yeah, Stuart and Charlie, you two were made for each other.

.Pretty.

Stalking has never looked so appealing, has it. Helps that you two work together of course ;)

These shots were taken at X-WRAY in Fremantle. We started with a delicious and cheap Italian meal, followed with crazy and wildly inappropriate conversations over cocktails at my favourite bar/cafe/lounge. There was live music, cheapola mojitos and fan-bloody-tastic company.

What more could you possibly want.

Rocketfuellers; their conversation apparently gets as wildly inappropriate as ours does at my work. Nice.

Didn't get a shot of me, so I had to make up for it with a dodgy shot after we got home....

The weekend (now with extra pictures!!!)

As mentioned in the last post, this past weekend was comprised of a music festival all of Saturday, and an internet date with the lovely Stompface on Sunday.
Who played? John Butler Trio, Whitley, Jason Mraz, Mister and Sunbird, Ben Kweller, Whitley, Sea Sick Steve, Blue King Brown, Bob Evans, and many more
Personal picks? John Butler Trio, Sea Sick Steve, Bob Evans and Jason Mraz


Great event to be at as John Butler were performing for the last time as a band (they're concentrating on solo careers), Bob Evans is bloody effin brilliant, Jason Mraz was an unexpected delight (seriously expected much less) and Sea Sick Steve rocks. Mister and Sunbird were fabulous (do you expect less from a band with two sets of drums and violins, guitars, flutes, vocalists, etc) and Dave (lead singer no.1) was a delight to speak to....

Whilst listening to Whitley, we discovered these amazing DCPs (discard the shoes please)

Blue King Brown; goddamit, I want to wear turquoise facepaint and feather earrings...

Photobucket
Bob Evans (alter ego of Kevin Mitchell from awesome Perth indie band Jebediah) the great!

Photobucket
We hit 7pm; looking worse for wear...

I perched myself on Stu's shoulders for a fab 6th row face to face view

Oh to play the double bass and drums like the John Butler Trio!

As mentioned by Stompface in her "internet dating...." post, she took photos of me and vice versa while we had a snack whilst thrifting. She is one gorgeous chicka:

in Guildford town, where she got asked for money (we think...) and I knocked people over with the hanging chair I'd just bought


I didn't think to take a photo of myself at the time but it wasn't anything too spesh, so Stuart took a photo of me afterwards, at coffee, when I swopped my plimsolls for boots:

I spent this morning driving up to Northam for the hot air ballooning I had booked for Stuart's birthday (happy birthday, my gorgeous better half!). It was beyond amazing....pics to come! We then hit our local shopping centre where I committed to a laptop at JB Hi-FI (a Spanish friend of mine accidentally dropped water on mine and fried the keyboard portion :/) and found me some white tights (finally!)

festival: tee, ebay. shorts, diy levis. leather cuff, goth shop. chain, diva. sunnies, random cheap store. ring, sportsgirl. bag, vintage.
internet date: tee, supre. tube top as skirt, myer. chains, live and diva. boots, asos. bag, vintage. gloves, diy.

Untitled.

And now for something slightly different:

Slight deliberation, enchanted captivation
Prismed in veiled fascination
Once upon a time, I was but a poverty stricken façade,
But that well has dried up and I now have it made.
Brilliant evocation and slight of mind,
It all fits in like a light bulb christened with a stronger glow.
Tell me how I managed this, I can only say,
“You captured me; I’m enchanted by your spell”.
Hold me here, corroborate our fortunes thrice,
For the day will come when reaching out will be divulging into our very own.
Blatantly mesmerizing, I call it how I see it,
Yet no complaints because that was the script.
The siren call has whispered anew, deliberation plays no part
Commiseration is but a facet of the ancient war.
So capture is what capture does, wholly and complete.
Give up that lost cause, present anew and lead us to the feat.


The weekend I:

a) went to the Blues'n'Roots festival (and listened to, and enjoyed, a number of bands. the great ones? ben kweller, seasick steve, bob evans, jason mraz, missy higgins (surprise, she puts on a fantastic show). The best? john butler trio...always sensationally brilliant) .

b) had an internet date with "Stompface" (one seriously cool chicka). I didn't show up with a rose but she recognised me anyway. We wandered through Guilford, ate scones and ceaser salads, knocked people over with chairs (me) and got asked for money (her). Good times, photos to come. Here's to internet dates :)
