My friend lent me this beautiful Japanese film called Spirited Away the other day and its definitely my favourite animated film. Japan has the best animation in the world, and this is proof! If you see the film be sure to watch in Japanese with the subtitles, as in English it isn't quite the same.

Starlight

Still its cool to have my own star :) Especially as a record of it is not only stored at the British library, but at another 'secure location'. Ooh err!

'Bloody weather'
Today I spent the day shopping with friends, and it true English style in rained all day. It rained so much my umbrella is broken from being turned inside out, and the soles of my feet have gone dark blue, as all the colour on the insides of my shoes has run from being soaked. I can't believe its the 29th of July and the weather is like this! Luckily I'm off to France in two weeks time, and if flooding stops me from leaving my house I will comfort myself with my new Ebay obsession, some of my recent finds are above. The floral pattern and polka dot earrings I thrifted at Portobello market. Next things arriving from ebay are a Konad art set and coral playsuit - I can't wait!

Shining

Does anyone else think its Jack Nicholson's eyebrows that make him look so terrifying?
Next I'm reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.

Shock me like electric
Margo Topshop Jeans £40
These are my amazing shoes that I wore to my English equivalent of prom. I had been going to wear some silver peep toe heels, however at the last minute I found these and they are almost exactly the same colour as the dress I wore - co-incidence?? The electric blue looks like its come straight out of the 80s and the gold studding reminds me of these Christian Louboutin babies below.

Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand?
I'm listening to a lot of The Kills right now, and this post title is from their song sour cherry which if you haven't heard I'd youtube it, it has a great beat! Anyway, listening to it got me thinking of this cherry-coloured outfit I'd seen Lady Gaga wear on Japanese TV...
I really love the way she says she's 'Lady Gaga in Japan', 'Lady Gaga in Paris', its really clever image-wise and just generally cool to embrace local cultures when she travels. I'm already a fan of Lady Gaga so I loved seeing her in lolita, I'll be blogging more about this but I'm very interested in Japanese culture, especially Lolita fashion. I'm desperate to go to Camden these summer hols and visit a shop called Sai Sai which sells cheap gothic lolita clothing (which is the frilly victorian style clothing Gaga is wearing but in darker colours, think monochrome scheme).
The only problem I have with Lady Gaga is that in interviews I think she is a tad conceited, but hey wouldn't you be if you were that talented? If anyone saw her on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross she got kinda offended when he said that he admired her eccentric style, and asked him what he thought was eccentric. Jeez, she should embrace her eccentricity!

Marilyn
I thought I'd show you my huge poster of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe print. The wall by my desk is quite arty, I also have hids Campbells Tomato Soup print, and some Lichtenstein and Dali up there. Below is also my treasured hollywood-esque mirror from Habitat. Hey it may be from the children's section, but its still cool right?
