THANKS ALEKSANDRA!

"You're a world class liar, darling. Go out there and lie for Italy. Lie for Italia."- Nine

I went to go and see Nine last week and I loved it!
It is visually stunning, beautifully shot and very glamorous. I predict some Oscar nominations...

The sexy and stylish film is about a famous director, played by Daniel Day Lewis, trying to come up with a script for a film and being inspired by all the female influences in his life. There is Sophia Loren, his mother, Marion Cotillard, his wife, Penelope Cruz, his mistress, Nicole Kidman, his muse, Judy Dench, his confidante, Fergie, his childhood crush and Kate Hudson a reporter from Vogue.
But of course the costumes are what really steal the show, with all the razzle dazzle of Chicago the director Rob Marshall’s other film. Think glitter, smoky eyes, sequins, feathers, big hair, wigs, cat flick liquid eye liner, red lipstick, heels, lingerie and leotards.
After watching it I can guarantee you will want to move to Italy, star in a film and own a wardrobe full of feather boas!Ciao!

ps) Hope you all have an amazing New Years Eve whatever you are doing!

So, come on down to Thicker Than Water and start the new decade with an appropriate Tiger tattoo to ring in the year!

A NEW PAIR OF PARIKKA'S

I think one should always be happy about and appreciate every single gift and present one gets, but when your boyfriend gives you a pair of Parikka's for Christmas it's OK to be a little bit more happy about that than all the rest.

I originally got a pair of red booties but they were a bit too big and the smaller ones out of stock so I changed to these soft pink ones. And that's just as good.

Walk Walk Fashion Baby Work It 101st Post Crazy

Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas!
Apart from my daily revision sessions (I have got mock exams and a physics re-sit in January. Eek) it has just been a really nice and relaxed holiday at home with the family. Also I never saw it coming but we had a White Christmas!

Oh and I received possibly the best present of my life...
The Canon DSLR Camera which I have been drooling over for ages.

Me and that gorgeous Canon 1000D lens.

So expect a lot more photos taken by moi to appear on the blog and because I am really interested in photography I would love to hear your opinions, ideas, tips and advice. Just make sure you keep the criticism constructive though. Yes?

Hope you all have a fantastic New Year!

xoxo

Well hello everyone - I hope you all had a nice Christmas with friends and family, a lot to eat and lot's of presents to unwrap. I did. But you know what, about the presents. In most cases - in my case at least - it is more fun to give than to get. So why not top Christmas off with a nice give away? From Allmodern.com! AllModern is a online store carrying furniture and home decor from design brands like Vitra and Alessi for example, as well as some classic Finnish design like Iittala and Artek. Prices vary from afforbable to exclusive.

I am now very happy to announce that one lucky reader will win a Iittala Aalto vase! If you could ever have only one vase it should definitely be this one, as the Aalto vase is such a classic design piece. I think every home should have one - I had one too, a special edition one actually, which I got from my parents for my graduation. My cats broke it within two weeks. A sad story yes, but- back to the good news again: the vase you can win is a classic large clear one, and all you have to do to enter is to leave a comment on this post!

There is one little but however - I'm afraid this contenst is only open for those of my readers living in the US or in Canada. I'm very sorry for that. But I will arrange something small here really soon for everyone everywhere to particiapte in!

All I Want for Christmas is a Tattoo with Teeth

On Christmas Eve afternoon, I was passing through Penn Station, I spotted Lindsay, a woman with what appeared to be a sleeve that had a water-inspired design.

It wasn't until after I approached her and asked if she wanted to contribute to Tattoosday that I saw, as she rolled up her sleeve, what awesome work she had done on her left arm:


Lindsay said that, like all of her 14 or 15 tattoos, none of them have "deep meaning". She just goes with whatever she describes as an "intense urge" at the time she's getting the tattoo.

The sleeve above started with her taking photos with stylings to the artist, saying she wanted a bloody shark. This was the first part of the tattoo:


She then expanded it with this segment of shark


which is certainly reminiscient of the movie poster for Jaws.


This piece was created in four sittings lasting 3-4 hours each, by John Reardon at Saved Tattoo (which was the shop responsible for yesterday's post, too).

Work from John Reardon has appeared here on Tattoosday previously. Work from Saved appearing on the site can be seen here. Reardon is also the author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting a Tattoo.

Thanks to Lindsay for taking the time to share her incredible shark sleeve with us here on Tattoosday!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
