Life on Mars



Via www.perezhilton.com :


"For many out there, this is huge news. While it is coming a little ahead of its intended announcement (leaked would be a better word for it), expect a book written by David Bowie to be published in the near future.
Bowie was and still is a pioneer for numerous mediums, mainly music and fashion, which he managed to combine superbly. He is often credited in creating glam rock.
His book, Bowie: Object, consists of 100 images which he took with an old camera he received from his friend in 1975. Surrounding the images is witty, insightfully annotated, personal text written by Bowie himself. Fans will finally be able to see how his mind works.
We're excited for this one! We were always curious where he came up with all his crazy ideas and unique styles! He was the 1970's male version of Lady GaGa!
We love his fashion. We love his music. We're sure to love this book!"

Well I am a HUGE David Bowie fan, so this is actually awesome news to me :)
I don't know if I would compare him to Lady GaGa though. I mean, she's a visionary and all, but she is hardly David effing BOWIE. Can't wait for the book....

Male of the Day

I just love Jared Leto.He's a great actor, a good musician and pretty much the hottest man alive. Beautiful. Also he just doesn't seem to get old?
His band 30 Seconds to Mars is coming to South Africa and I got ma tickets a couple weeks ago. Exited as hell!

"I believe in nothing
Not the end and not the start
I believe in nothing
Not the earth and not the stars
I believe in nothing
Not the day or not the dark
I believe in nothing
But the beating of our hearts

I believe in nothing
100 suns until we part
I believe in nothing
Not in sin and not in God
I believe in nothing
Not in peace and not in war
I believe in nothing
But the truth in who we are"

Jared Leto Nylon 5

Hippie Hippie Hoorah!

I'm going through a bit of a hippie phase these days, so I thought I'd Share some cool vibey photo's to Inspire you... These pics make me wanna don a long skirt and go dancing on the beach at sunset.






Though covering yourself in peace signs and smiley faces does not make you a hippie, it's still way more interesting than going out in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt :)
So, take some chances with your wardrobe and don't be afraid to get judged. The only reason people judge is because their afraid to do what you do.
My message for today is: Have fun. Be spontaneous. Take chances. Live YOUR life the way YOU want to.

Muse of the Day : Alison Mosshart

This woman is the coolest singer I've ever heard. He voice just screams "I don't give a Fuck!"
Listen to her music. That is all.






Bad ass. That's it.

Model Crush: Agyness Deyn

Is she not the coolest model ever?
She has the exact wardrobe that I want to have, which is also one of the reasons I dislike her. She seems to have a liking for the musical types, having dated ALBERT HAMMOND JR.(The Strokes), Miles Kane(Last Shadow Puppets) and Alex Greenwald(Phantom Planet). I want her hair.

Hunter S. Thompson

"The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over."


"America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable."

"I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours."


"If you're going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you're going to be locked up." 


"In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity."


"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."


To Hunter S. Thompson, the coolest, smartest, crazy-ass human being that ever lived.

Okay, so since I haven't been living under a rock for the past 2 years, I know about that little series of books and movies called Twilight. This post is not about whether I like Twilight or not (for the record : Pro books, Anti movies and screaming fans), it is about the lead actors' personal style.

Miss Stewart has got that whole indie/goth/glamor-girl thing going on, which I quite like:

Mr Pattinson likes to rock the plaid shirt and I think he cleans up well when it comes to red carpet time. Also, he's great in Remember Me and Little Ashes.
