More shopping and irony of beauty

I did tons of shopping lately, just to make sure I didn't miss out on any good bargains, ended up buying more than I really need. Nevertheless, everything I've bought so far are pretty good deals that got slashed down by a lot.
I wanted to take pictures of my accomplishments but just couldn't be arsed to. LOL. And whenever I remember, my cam's not available. The blurish pics that I can take with my half-fug 2.0 mega pixels Panasonic digi is probably as good as not taking... So again can't be arsed.
I've been using the 'Ass' word a lot lately, even my boyfriend's getting really pissed off with my vulgarities...Shit, I better not make it a habit. (etiquette, etiquette...I've been hearing this word a lot lately, probably influenced by the "Princess or aristocratic lady" movement, suddenly, even last year's trashy Paris Hilton's covering up these days)It seems like a cool and 'IT' thing to be...A LADY these days. Last year's Lady Marmalade is finally realised there is a thing called 'skirt' that is used for covering the lower half of your body.

These are all my fave Australia labels, especially Alannah Hill . This brought back to the discussion on the 'LADY' movement. the LA fashion these days has been pretty much dominated by haute couture, the 50s feminity, vintage and antique look. I was looking at Alannah Hill website the other day and I'm like totally inspired by her. Alannah Hill is this Tasmania small town girl who grew up in a impoverished milk bar, she came to Melbourne at the age of 17 with 2 suitcases and $70 of which $30 was spent on cab fare to the city. She was then offered a job in one of the boutiques on Chapel Street and worked for 10 over years before starting her own label. She's currently living with her son with no mention of husband/boyfriend/partner whatsoever.

I'm not sure why but it seems like most successful designers usually are single or love troubles seems to strike them like a trade-off for vanity. Creating vanity is probably a sin that God forbids more than those who indulge in beauty. It like the drug seller is definitely more sinful than the drug users (not exactly the kind of comparison people will approve on but anyway...)I guess most successful designers and artists have really extraordinary kind of lives,
Coco Chanel
spent time as a ward of the state after her mother died and her father ran off. She left a seamstress job the nuns had helped her get to try for a career as a cabaret singer. This stint as a performer let her experience the Moulin culture, a impoverished beauty with exquisite looks and a shrewd mind needless to say rose quickly on the social ladder — led her to take up with the local swells and become the backup mistress of Etienne Balsan, a playboy who financed her move to Paris and the opening of her first hat business. That arrangement gave way to a bigger and better deal when she moved on to his friend, Arthur ("Boy") Capel, who is said to have been the love of her life and who backed her expansion from hats to clothes.

It's an irony how women who turn to vanity in hope of becoming more beautiful so as to get men find themselves end up with no men because those men got intimidated/insecure when a woman becomes a beauty.


Anyway, the money I spent on random sales items can buy me a LV bag...but not the one that I want though
