September 26th, 2008

Forgot to blog earlier, but I went to The Knack craft market in Wellington last weekend and met a load of wonderful crafters that deserve big ups. Here’s just a few of the lovelies crafters I got details from to share with you:

There were of course many more insprirational people at the market with so many pretty, pretty, pretty things. But I can’t list them all. You’ll really have to go along yourself if you can.

Gymnasts, Gypsies and Vampires – Country Club Romania

September 16th, 2008

I’m having a party on Saturday and I’d like you pretty ladies to come along. It’s not PPP-themed, but I believe that dressing up falls in line with the things that we like doing, so I am extending my invitation to you and your friends. It would be lovely to see you/meet you.

For your glamorous benefit

September 14th, 2008

If you happen to be browsing the magazine racks somewhere, and you see a small British Glamour magazine with a free lip gloss – the July edition – buy it. Not for the magazine itself, because it is truly truly hollow and the article on cleavage at work was particularly misogynistic, but rather because the attached lip gloss is the best lip gloss I have ever used. And that’s a bloody big call from someone who has as many lip glosses on her at one time that most people would have in a lifetime. It’s a UK company called Benefit, and their ‘‘Her Glossiness’ lip gloss sells for 13 pounds – or $40NZ. Glamour costs $8. You do the maths. The lip gloss goes on slickly, and makes your lips look beautiful and smooth, even if you’re in the middle of Sickness of Death.

So last Saturday we had a party, and you were invited. Some of you came along, and shared in the delights of lights, makeup, pina-colada cupcakes and many, many photographs. Here’s my picks of the pics:

Wellington zombie walk

September 5th, 2008

Zombie Bride

Help the Wellington Soccer U17 rep girls fundraise by setting an awesome official world record – the biggest Zombie Walk!!

Join them at Frank Kits Park at 8pm on 8th September – $2 enrolment fee. Call Tony (04 3889070) or Peter (04 3808604) for more info.

Dress up in your Zombie-finest. And if you’ve any Zombie make-up tips send them along.

I reckon you need:

  • White face with back eyeshadow applied around the eye sockets and hollows of the cheeks.
  • Some fake blood splats
  • Black/dark lips
  • Frizzy hair
  • Poppy seeds in your teeth (to make them look yuck)

Some pharmacies and costume shops have great ranges of stage make-up – that’ll help.
