Living For The Weekend

Just a few photos that sum up most of the best bits of this long weekend! Lots of partying, BBQ-ing, drinking, and soaking up the sunshine before the week comes back around to ruin all the fun!

Overrall....I had loads of fun....let's do this again sometime :)

Sugar Rush

Occassionally, I see someone, and I feel the need to photograph them.
Today on my train journey, amongst a sea of people dressed in blacks, blues and grays, a splash of colour woke me up. Cuteness personified! If you know me at all, I am quite the fan of anime, manga and Harajuku style, and that is immediately what came to mind when seeing this young lady's outfit. Thumbs up to her and her sweet style~!



Not enough cuteness for you?

How about a sleepy French bulldog~

Want more sweetness? How about a Strawberry Shortcake Ice Dessert from Costa~

Beautiful Buildings

A few mobile snaps taken testerday afternoon while walking from Bank to Holborn.

London's beautiful architecture constantly amazes me. There's a consistent contrast between classical and modern structures, creating a beautiful mixture of past and present throughout the city.

Kiss-In

This evening, I attended a protest against homophobia, more particularly, an incident that occurred recently at the John Snow pub in Soho, London. Two gay men, on their first date, were thrown out of the pub for kissing. Unsurprisingly, many people have been riled up by this situation; with over 1,000 facebookers confirmed to have attended the rally, various bloggers and websites, and even the BBC publicizing the event. I could not miss this! The pub ended up closing early before the protest started....however we carried on outside the premises.

It is very unsettling knowing that crimes like this are happening, in Soho nonetheless! An area known to be gay-friendly. Something has to be done...starting with raising awareness. Please pass this on to others and help bring these acts of hatred to an end.

Changes

There have been a few significant changes in my life these past few weeks.

I've been distracted and stressed recently...but good things are happening and I need to get back in gear!

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

I've been KAZAKIFIED! :)

It's like learning how to walk all over again~

KAZAKY

Ladies MOVE OVER!...because Kazaky is here!



Wikipedia:
"Kazaky ("Kazaky") is a Ukrainian music group, which released the fast-paced acro-dance video In the Middle on the web on 30 September 2010. The boy band's four performers are Artur Archibaz (Артур Арчибаз), Kyryll Fedorenko (Кирилл Федоренко), Stas Pavlov (Стас Павлов) and Oleh Zhezhel (Олег Жежель), who also choreographed the video. The video was made by Music video director Yevhen Tymokhin (Євген Тимохін), the cinematographer was Helena Markova (Елена Маркова) and the styling was done by Vasylyi Bondarenko (Василий Бондаренко)."

Now that you've got the facts....

A friend of mine recently showed me their music video "In The Middle" and I instantly became a fan. Not because the music is anything amazing...although it is catchy and has a great beat....but because of the overrall sexuality and boldness of the group. They are also very skilled dancers(in HEELS...HIGH ones) with beautifully toned physiques to show for it. Their flamboyant movements and styling yet masculine looks and vocals are an alluring contradiction. Kazaky makes me question society and the fine lines between gender...sexuality...and all that is taboo in the portayal of a man. I say why CAN'T a man go out on the town in a pair of heels! Lets not restrain ourselves because of what others may think. Be confident in who you are. Let's make this world a more interesting place!
