F*** You Fear (sorry this has swearing in it - so don't say I didn't warn you :) )

Theres no such word as 'can't'!


Has your parents - like mine drilled this into your head? Its the cliché, the comfort blanket adults use to get their kids to try harder in Maths. Yet is this the one true cliché - Yes I know I wouldn't defend one of them under normal circumstances but yesterday I had sort of a epiphany - because of a MTV TV show called Plain Jane and ice skating. Before you shut down your laptops in disgust let me tell you this. It was on in the background but the only part of the TV show I really remembered was when the host forced the desperate fame-hungry teenager to try something new. She said "You can do it, your the one holding yourself back, Its your fear of failing". Obviously at the time I paid no attention - but then on that ice rink it was 10 minutes in and I was still dragging myself along the side. When I let go. Guess what I didn't fall on my arse and make myself look like an idiot - nahh instead. Lets just say I rocked that rink! So whilst skating faster than I've ever skated before It occurred - You could of done this from the start but what held you back - fear. So basically (if you have young kids cover their eyes) Fuck You Fear You Fucking Bitch. Honestly just yell it out now (well not that loud unless your in a rough area or a high school). We basically set ourselves up to fail but not any fucking more. Use your own integrity and intelligence to  do it yourself - honestly do this and you'll only fail sparatically. Yes I'm not showing this as the all singing all dancing magical wondrous secret that will make all your dreams come true - You can't just have one music lesson - then expect to be picked to star in the west end. So all in all say fuck you fear and Merry Christmas 

Style Police

Fashion. I bloody love it, yet unfortunatly my tastes are the same as many people. I am not ashamed to say I Love Vintage! yes many people do, but that's unfortunate - not everyone can be different - they'll always be people with the same styles. Thats why i hate 'fashion-snobs' who feel it unacceptable to wear the same clothes as everyone else - style is natural, I don't have a unique style, its a lot like many others - but that doesn't make me a sellout. Just because I don't wear a dayglo fish print maxi skirt with a neon hammer print top but do wear some pretty bleached jeans and vintage-y jumper doesn't mean I have no sense of style.
Who invented this moronic rule? if we were all unique then no-one would truly be unique. What even qualify's you to be unique anyway? Is only made bright nursey poster paint coloured clothes unique? If everyone wore the   fashion snobs would be climbing over themselves for some vintage gorgeousness.

Look at the glamour of women like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. Do you blame us for wanting to be like them? They are the epitome of what every women wants to be and in the crisis's we're facing - who blames us for wanting to look good? It is all some people have. I don't particularly care. Wear whatever outfits you want - just don't expect me to agree when you insult my love of all things vintage and say it makes me a sellout - If it does then at least I'm a fashionable sellout.

The Winds of Change

How many of you have heard the phrase 'the winds of change'? When you hear/see these words what do you feel? Liberation? Freedom? or maybe even Fear?

Change is unavoidable - but it doesn't mean we don't try. No-one wants to change their ways, we are in fact creatures of habit, but sometimes change is necessary. Whether it's a change of hairstyle or a complete life turnover, change is always there - for example I have been wearing my hair up more. Its a simple change but to me a life-long hair down enthusiast its liberating, exciting, new. Or a more serious GCSE's I've never had such important exams - I'm supposed to be revising for them now but as my human nature states. I don't like the change (fractions doesn't help).

One change I have been considering making is telling people about this blog. I have not told a soul about this and I'm thinking maybe I should. They might think gosh she thinks a lot of herself but I quite frankly don't care. I'm not even in top set for English but I have written some things for this blog which I am proud of. Speaking my mind. There's no feeling like it. Speaking of change for a change I'll describe what drove me to writing this - a beauty video. Juicystar07 recently put up a video describing her new look and I thought - change. This is not a regular blog. I write when I feel like it. When it comes naturally - I think that's best as when you force it there's no heart behind it - just empty words. I will not have this.

The Generation of Revolution

When you see this title what do you expect?


Some twit harping on about Germany or Russia? The strikes?


Well you obviously don't read this. I don't mean this like a time period, I mean by age. Teenagers natural instinct is to rebel everything their parents tell them to do. Adults of the world don't even try to say that you didn't, cause I know you'd be lying.


Why is it that we have such a strong need to rebel? Probably because from a young age they've told us to be ourselves, a induvidual - turns out they mean unless your opinions differ from ours. We want to be our own person, NOT our parents. This is natural, unpreventable and frequent. 


Many people have rebelled over generations and generations - for thousands of years. So is it human nature to rebel against law and order? Is it the same nature for us the settle arguments with our fist and be cruel to one another? Even though we are a great intelligent species - we're not perfect, we are not 'just human' we're just animals. 

The Pursuit Of Happiness

When you see my title what do you think? Do you think of the film featuring Will & Jaden Smith? The ageless teachings of Buddha? or something entirely different. In my R.E. class we are studying Buddhism, as a Christian (well sort of - long story)  I don't know much about the teachings but one really called to me. The Pursuit Of Happiness. People search in their lives for different things, different goals, aspirations, objects yet really they are all the same. I don't mean for example if all you wanted was to be a chef and another all they wanted was to own   a simple hat, they aren't the same, but the intentions are the same. They are searching for happiness, as if these objects or careers will give them the eternal happiness that they desire. There is only one way you can possibly achieve this. Look at yourself and what you have and be thankful and grateful, enjoy life as you are. This doesn't mean you cannot do other things but be happy wherever you are. Thats all you need to be happy i'm not even going to say friends and family, some people like company yet others prefer to be alone, people are different. I'm not going to lie and say that I have achieved this. I know how but its so hard, I will always try and I believe someday I will succeed, still do have aspirations and dreams, just don't think you need them to acquire happiness. At the moment one of my aspirations is to simply receive a B in my next maths GCSE (higher paper UNIT 1 if your wondering)  what are yours dreams and aspriations???

Lipstick

Some people may be shocked that I a young teenage girl is so fully supportive of fashion, beauty, hair and other things they quickly label 'materialistic' without any further acknowledgement or reasoning. I would rather be a part of this world than of their boring offices and their belief that older is better, but not to old. The higher positions are labeled as 'senior' putting an image of an older person into your head. I have already blogged about this.  First of all to all you people who judge others, beware never underestimate a teenager with a open mind and a passion for VOGUE.

Fashion is not about being fake or over-proud, it isn't measured in how much of the latest Prada collection you own, I personally don't own any, my wardrobe is new look with one topshop top and two river island tops. They are the closest to that I have. Yet I have an opinion and a say because as YSL  once said 'Fashion is fickle, Style is eternal'. For example putting on lipstick. Just something as simple as a swipe of e.g. pink lipstick can make you feel confident and self assured. It can make you feel ready to take on the world an rock it. It can cost from expensive to cheap, hundreds of shades for each person, when you find the right one it just fits, you feel as if your the best you can be, confident, beautiful inside and out, happy. What is wrong with this??

To all those closed minded people open your eyes, buy a copy of e.g. vogue and open your mind to further possablitly

Film Reveiw

I've decided that as I go to the cinema quite a lot I'll start doing some film reviews.

This is for The Roommate and soon i'm going to see Suckerpunch so expect thaa soon.

The Roommate is very hard to describe. It is but it isn't a horror movie, I say that as it doesn't have stereotypical horror plots and thrills. For example zombie films are basically the same idea but slightly adapted (excluding the resident evil films there just crap). The storyline is a girl goes to collage and she has a roommate, who is a lesbian and becomes dangerously obsessed with her. You would expect lots of bloody violence and gore, something which the 15 age certificate supports. 

Yet this has hardly any violence even in two scenes where (spoiler alert!) people get stabbed with a knife there isn't much blood and gore. Really the horror is all in the tension. Its very good for tension and well basically making you jump. 

On a fashion point of view it is surprisingly a good film for fashion. The girl is a aspiring fashion designer and the crazed roommate has plenty of designer clothes. Also one character is successful in fashion and all of them have style. 

All in all I do like this movie and the cast is very surprising! enjoyed it throughly.
