this is how I spent last Saturday night...
went to Oxford Art Factory with Cathy.
It wasn't really my scene, it was too indie and out there
not to mention one section of the club smelt like marjuana.
But Cat and I had fun nonetheless.

I was reading Valentines day cards today and they made me smile
not out of poignancy, but humour
some even made me laugh out loud whilst in Myer
making me seem like a total idiot from passers-by
One card read "To my sexy hubby, let's try a new position this year...
I'll sit on the couch, while you do the laundry"

CHANELNO.5
The beautiful image of Nicole Kidman in that long black Chanel gown is indented in my memory of all things romantic-glamorous. We can't all be beautiful actresses who fall in love with handsome strangers, but it appears that wearing Chanel No.5 comes close to achieving that glamorous experience.

There are very few things that immutable in this world...
if any at all.
Nothing withstands the force of change.

More importantly, the idea of distance expresses the condition of art itself. Art is of life, runs parallel to life and is sometimes about life. But, for art to be art (a medium of numinous, sometimes symbolic power), it must maintain a distance from life. Without distance, art has no authority and is no longer special. As art depends on the beauty of distance, beauty in art – a resolution of energy, thought and feeling in aesthetic form – depends on distance as well. Beauty itself can, at times, be terrible as well as alluring. Art can reflect the sweetest or strongest of emotions, it can also express the most traumatic events but, unlike life, nobody gets hurt.

Okay so I'm not a huge Michael Buble fan but I think we can all relate to this song.

It saddens to to hear about bombings in the middle east
that have killed people.
We are fortunate to live in a country
without the constant fear of being blown up.

Rosemary Laing's weather #6 from 2008 Biennale
I'm looking forward to the 2010 Biennale which explores the concept of the beauty of distance.
This is how the artistic director, David Elliot describes distance:
Distance allows us to be ourselves despite the many capacities we share. We are all the same, yet different and it is our differences that make us – according to the circumstances – beautiful, terrifying, attractive, boring, sexy, unsettling, fascinating, challenging, funny, stimulating, horrific or even many of these at once.

Listening to: John Legend - Ordinary people
I've spent the day seeking inspiration on how I'm going to decorate my wall
it used to be embarrassingly covered with perfume campaigns
and editorials, signaling the room of a 'brand whore'.
Now it won't just be about fashion, but also fine arts.
People who have inspired me like John Lennon, Frank Warren and Frida Kahlo
will also have a spot there because I wouldn't be who I am today
without them.

What an incredible overlooked editorial. Ali Stephens is one of my favourite editorial models eversince she appeared in that memorable Rusch editorial.

Listening to: Snoop Dogg ft. The Dream - Gangsta Luv
I've always envisaged walking through a park
with this song playing
then suddenly breaking out into song and dance
with pedestrians joining in...
think Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 500 Days of Summer
I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go
Can’t do it alone I’ve tried
and I don’t know why
Slow it down make it stop
or else my heart is going to pop
‘cuz it’s too much, yeah it’s a lot
to be something I’m not
I’m a fool out of love
‘Coz I just can’t get enough
I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go
I can’t do it alone I’ve tried
And I don’t know why
I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but don’t show it
I can’t figure it out
It’s bringing me down I know
I’ve got to let it go
And just enjoy The Show
