Keeping up appearances…..

2010-04-20T10:00:00.002+10:00

Seems I have been pretty slack on the old blog front!

It came to my attention that the old Emzilla blogspot had been fully neglected when I met someone on the weekend who said to me “I stumbled on your blog”.
My first reaction was to cringe in defence. I bet you ask why?

Well the last time I had written something was back on the 2nd of March!

So here is my ode to ye old blogspot.

1/ I promise to keep up appearances even when real life gets hectic.

and

2/ I promise to keep the content interesting to keep those people who happen to stumble upon me amused.

So content here we come!

Hi -Top Fades

2010-01-27T22:49:00.006+11:00

Mad props to Hi-Top Fades and those who rocked.

I remembered about these as I watched (for a brief second) House Party 2 with Kid 'n Play. They made this hairstyle along with Big Daddy Kane one of the most uber cool haircuts of the late 80's.

Defination of the Hi-Top Fade:
A hi-top fade is a style of haircut where hair on the sides is cut off or kept very low and hair on the top of the head is very long (in contrast, a low fade is when hair on the top is kept shorter). The hi-top has been a trend symbolizing the Golden Era of Hip Hop and urban contemporary music during the late 1980s and the early 1990s.

Sunbaking in Hyde Park

2010-01-27T19:59:00.003+11:00

Is UNACCEPTABLE even more so if you are an old person!

Today I was dropped off for work near Hyde Park (Sydney) and as I was walking through my retina's were burned from the sight of some elderly pension types sun baking in their swimmers!

Granny had on a bikini and Grandpa had on dick stickers!

This is not on people, this is not on!

Not to mention the only thing remotely close to swimming water at Hyde Park is a fountain! Arghhh my eyes!

I tried to stealth a photo but I will save your eyes from the sight of brown, wrinkled prunish flesh with only the uglies covered by the tightest of tight Lycra!

Post Australia day hangover morning eye fail for me!

Adidas Originals has teamed up with Star Wars to create a unique collection exclusive to Footlocker! I am not a big Sci-Fi person myself and can't say that I have ever seen Star Wars (sorry to all those that just dropped their jaws), but tonight we merched our store and have a talking Darth at our door which I thought was pretty impressive so figured it was only fair to share the collection with you all!

Enjoy!

Barbie gets a hijab

2010-01-13T09:27:00.004+11:00

Barbie has been somewhat of a controversial icon to little ladies and bigger ladies around the world since 1959.

We have seen Barbie go through many transformations from Barbie and the Rockers to ballerina Barbie, Malibu Barbie and beauty Barbie, family Barbie with token baby and relationship Barbie with her sexy boyfriend Ken.

Mattel has been on a quest to turn Barbie into the all American woman (relating to all women) so she has been Latino, African-American and parts of other ethnic community groups.

Questions about Barbie relating to all ethnic groups were raised when even the very low key "Princess Barbie's" attire was bought up as it exposed areas of her body such as her cleavage and half of her arms.

So intelligent toy makers have come up with a solution. Barbie has now converted to Islam and now comes with morals, prayer mat and hijab.

Introducing Fulla "A Girls Dream Doll".

Differences between the two. Barbie is independent, has a great job and is what ever she puts her mind too, the only issue with Barbie is she is societies idea of the Blonde Bimbo. Fulla is Muslim yes but everything else is really the same. She wears a hijab but it is an accessory much like the camper van or the Ferrari. Fulla is extremely fashion conscious and to me it seems that she is the type of doll that can teach young Muslim girls to feel beautiful like her while wearing a hijab.

Another difference is Fulla doesn't come armed with optional Prince charming / Ken. She is single and does not date. To me this seems kind of strange, Ken was never a temptation to me nor to Barbie as he had plastic undies (plastic crotch) meaning he had inaccessible bits and pieces.

Also how will Fulla meet her husband?

I must say I love Barbie and as a child I had an array of different styles. To me the fun was undressing them and making her engage in some foreplay with Ken or my NKOTB Dolls.

Fulla I can understand is filling a need for a religious group which is great, but my final thought if all little girls think the same as I did the Hijab will be on the floor and Fulla will be partying it up in the spa with Fatima, Barbie and Skipper.

I'm kicking 2009 in the nuts!

2009-12-17T13:33:00.000+11:00

So long 2009, Hello 2010.

I can’t help but feel rather festive this year…. Why cause 2009 has been a C*$t of a year and I am ready to chill the fuck out with family and friends!

I realised it was a hectic year when I was talking to one of my friends yesterday that I have not spoken to since mid September.
When he asked me what I have been doing I told him my toilet roll list of shit that has happened in the last 3 months.
He finished the conversation by saying “Holy crap emz, I don’t talk to you for 3 months and your life totally changes”.

It is true……

For me I can say the following has happened:

Broke up with Ex
Moved from Melbourne back to Sydney.
Moved in with my parents.
Started Sydney job.
Met my boyfriend.
Moved from my parents to place in Alexandria.
Went on a trip to Melbourne
Sold my car
Sent my son (dog) off to live with another family
Got head-hunted
Had my birthday
Got fucked over by work.
Visited parents in Lismore
Started job at place was head hunted by
Got screwed by flat mates that was living with on bond.
Moved in with boyfriend
Moved our stuff out of our houses (2 houses into studio apartment over 3 weeks in evenings and weekends in a VAN.)
Met Cheech, Kimberley, Sarah, Mookie and the crew.
Helped out the COP girls with photo shoot by sharing my sneaks.
Enrolled into university
The company I was headhunted by changed the goal posts of the business.
Got offered a “casual” sales job
Decided I never wanted to be in recruitment again.
Quit job in recruitment.
Started “casual sales job”
Started uni
Started a second job in retail.
Juggling time between both jobs and uni!!! NUTS

There was lots of shopping, daily drinking of ciders, facebooking, blogging and eating in between….

Along with all of that my boyfriend has done just as much since May….

So I would like to bid farewell to 2009 as it has been a prick of a year and welcome 2010 with open arms.

It couldn’t be more stressful than this year (knock on wood / fingers crossed)!!!

Hi.... I'm Famous

2009-12-10T22:45:00.000+11:00

Classy Crim all round...

Thanks Eriks from C.O.P for finding my head (mouth open and all as per usual).

Mad Props to Tough Love NYC.

Mad props to Cheech for bringing me the shirt back from NYC.

Props all round!!!

Bow down to the bay

2009-11-30T21:03:00.000+11:00

Ebay I love you so much this week.....

I have been so busy with my working and drinking and eating and girl hanging and bingoing and trying to study, well not much time for ebaying.... The few times I have jumped on the bay I have been Blessed (if I must use the word) with some vintage gems.....

Emzilla be bringing back the 90's....

1st score is my holy grail... "Dance Reebok's" ahhh drool...

Peep Paula Abdul back in the day promoting this shiz.. she is DOPE - "Paula Dance Reebok Ad"

2nd Score was this dope little LA Gear denim jacket number... (alterations to come) peep the beading detail ahhh so sweet.

JYeah!!!!!!!

So the discussion started

2009-11-26T19:41:00.000+11:00

So the other day when Cheech and I were talking about things from our childhood. These things consisted from random 80's and 90's accessories and clothing items such as cross color jeans, lycra crop tops, scruntchies, tube socks and finally Hypercolor shirts (including clothing)...

The conversation honed on into Hypercolor and the range they produced.

Shirts, in all kinds of cool colours, shorts, singlets, crop tops and underwear. Yep you heard it right underwear.

I couldn't help but throw in an Emma type of joke along the lines of, "Oh I swear its not a skiddy on them undies its just my hypercolor".

Great concept yes, lots of science behind them with the whole thermochromic pigmentation and all.

The thing that was kinda weird was the whole sweaty pits thing, I mean if you were sweating up a storm everyone knew cause your pink shirt had green arm pits.

So props 1991 for bringing out a mood ring-esk type of shirt!

FUCK YEAH!!!

2009-11-14T14:05:00.001+11:00

I am a happy girl today and picked up these three beautiful purchases this morning.

1: AM 90 Mowabb

2: Structures

Cider & Stelth iPhone photo styles

2009-11-14T13:20:00.000+11:00

I am sure you all know by now I have a weakness for cider and normally I would say the only place to be is somewhere that has it on tap. NOT ANYMORE!!!

Due to the heat I figured I deserved to be waited on hand and foot for dinner and the only way that was happening is if I ate at the pub! So I went to a very underrated little bar in Surry Hills / Redfern I will call it "Shit hole dive hotel" just to keep it in its barren little state. Sorry!!!

So back to "Shit hole dive hotel"...

I ordered dinner which was... umm how to explain it.. average.
I also asked them what they had in the way of cider... Mr bar guy started to tell me about the types of Strongbow they had in the fridge and finally at the end came out with the goods... "and Magners".

"Sweet I will have a Magners thanks!!!"

He placed the Magners long neck on the counter and asked me if I wanted a glass and ice with that. I didnt....

PROOF!!!

In true bogan style I sat in the pub grinning ear to ear getting happier by the minute drinking long necks of Magners. (Holy shit I could so do product placement for them)...

As time went along and boyfriend approached i got my iPhone out and stelthed the place.

Here are my pics.

1: MEGA bowl cut on a man

2: World worst jean pin roll... WHY?

3: My Reebok Classics - LOVE

Yeah shit go right!!!

Feeling Festive!

2009-11-12T16:40:00.000+11:00

Today was the finishing day for all christmas shopping and boyfriend birthday shopping (Yes, I am proud of myself).

So after finishing that I was feeling rather festive and decided to make my own wrapping paper.

Here is a step by step on how I made my very O.G. Xmas wrap.

Step one:

Shop for the following

1 x Potato

1 x roll of brown paper

1 x red paint

1 x green paint

Step 1:

Get Potato - from here you will need to think up some shapes. I went for a traditional tree and a star.

Step 2:

Cut your shapes out.

Step 3:

Potato stamp away.

Step 4:

Finished product!!!

A way to my heart....

2009-11-11T14:57:00.000+11:00

Today I had a wonderful play date since I am now a lady of leisure with the beautiful Anella.

We attended the very yummy and also artery clogging Buppa's Bakehouse.

We started with brunch, I had a bagel with cream cheese and a grape soda (it's OK, it was 11.30am)

We then went for a walk and headed back to Buppa's to have afternoon tea at 2pm.

This time we got pie - Hmmmmmm pie!!!

We got key lime and chocolate peanut butter pies and decided to share.

Right now I am on the lounge with my pants undone wondering why I ate a months worth of sugar in one sitting. But DAMN it was worth every bite.

Here are the pics (sorry no bagels I was way to hungry and forgot all about it)

Just so my man didn't feel left out I purchased him some Ben and Jerry's Ice cream, some Reese's pieces, Sour Patch Kids candy and the good old trusty peanut butter cups. YUM

Cans of soda! - Yum

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie with Hershey chocolate sauce! - YUM x 2

Key Lime Pie - YUM x3

YUMMMM

Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream - Chocolate Fudge Brownie!

Ode to ye old Cider

2009-11-09T16:20:00.000+11:00

I think its about time I gave an ode if you will to Cider....

I must say, at $4.80 a long neck for a Bulmers and $5.70 for a Magners long neck it never lets me down.

I love how you make my pub experiences cheap and cheerful not to forget the happy warm and fuzzy feeling it gives me when i drink it.

I think cider is a highly underrated beverage and should be on more beer taps in the country.

I would like to thank Cheech, Sarah and other cider drinkers for supporting these tasty tasty beverages.

So this is my Monday ode to ye old Cider.

Cheers

Rainbow Tiger

2009-11-06T20:20:00.000+11:00

It has taken me a few days to get this up since I had to get the pic from my iPhone. (ps sorry about the shite quality)...

I found this slightly disturbing but very entertaining.

The disturbing part was is this picture was mounted on a wall next to my table while I was eating my veg laksa, the entertaining thing was my thoughts on how many drugs you would have to be on to think up this picture.

Anyway I have much love for the tiger rainbow!!!

PUK U MISS

2009-11-05T08:27:00.000+11:00

Beware of the massive Bus Rant!!!!!

So finally catching the bus to work every morning to work has taken its toll. Not cause I am lazy or hate the body odor, but because I can’t believe how unbelievably rude some people are!

I was shocked when I got on at my stop (which mind you is only 10 mins from the city) this morning and surprise surprise I got a seat (YEP, I have stopped looking for one). Don’t hold your breath for too long on that exciting first as it only lasted for 30 seconds.

The stop after mine saw a ridiculous 10 people push and shove their way on to the bus (mind you buses come every 5 mins), this isn’t what shat me off most….

Set the scene Mr 90 year old, walking cane and frail as getting thrown aside by corporate wankers and some rude houso b1tch (imagine the end of the world had a last bus)…

Poor Mr 90 paid for his ride and was left standing in the aisle while these rude individuals got their books and laptops out to make the what is now only a 9 min trip to the city that little more luxurious.

I was seated across from 2 x school kids and next to a 20 something boy. I offered my seat to the elderly man. I don’t want a medal I just know what is right.. Emz surrounded by a bus full of WRONG!

I don’t care that I stood up for a few minutes to the city nor do I care that I gave my seat to the lovely old man. What I do care about is the smug C*#t$ are happily going along on their way not having respect for their elders and were all prepared to push Mr 90 aside just to get a seat.

A massive PUK U to the houso lady who raced him for a seat them looked him in the face and smiled when she knew she had beat him…. If I ever see you again I am spitting in your face.

I'M Estatic

2009-10-30T13:30:00.001+11:00

Just a little music prop for a Friday... This album has helped what started off to be an awful week end feeling on top of the world!

So I cant stop listening to Mos Def's The Estatic.. It is HAWT!!!

It is Mr Mos Def's 4th album and it has some unreal sounds including ethnic influences in tracks like "The Embassy"& "Wahid" and must give props to the blissful sounds of georgia Anne Muldrow in the track "Roses"

HUGE two thumbs up!!!

Mos Def - The Embassy

The best day of your life

2009-10-29T09:07:00.000+11:00

So I am working with this guy who proposed to his girlfriend a few weeks ago and since she has turned into this crazy bridezilla. Within 20 mins of the proposal she had her "bride porn" and was looking at Vera Wang gowns, venues and setting the date for Valentines day.

I can't help but think that people like this change my mind on ever wanting to get hitched, I mean what is wrong with the good old marriage registry office?

So in all my negative marriage glory I decided to show my colleague what some weddings can turn out like.

Specimen 1: The classy biker couple

Specimen 2: Attention seeking sister in law

Specimen 3: Creative photographer

Specimen 4: Revenge of the nerds

Specimen 5: Packing heat just in case

Specimen 6: Gangsters paradise

Specimen 7: Threesome

Specimen 8: November rain inspired dress $200K Aussie wedding

All in all money can't buy you class so it seems nor does creativity.

Good luck with the plans for your wedding mate!

Look Out Overhead!

Walking back from the pub last night I was pleasantly surprised with Sydney. thank you Sydney for bring some culture to our streets :)

Angel Lane features different lane way art and last night the feature was "Forgotten Songs". What this lane way art was all about this time was a canopy of bird cages (empty of course) hanging high over head, these bird cages are accompanied with the sweet tweets of birds.

THANK YOU boyfriend!

2009-10-27T08:45:00.001+11:00

So yesterday I came home from work to find my beautiful boyfriend had bought me a present. Not even a birthday or Xmas. LOVE IT!

He was thinking about our summer treks to Byron and down the coast and decided it was worth purchasing me some Nike Gladiator Mids. Bless.....

Sorry Cheech no biting :)
