“I’m old, Gandalf. I know I don’t look it, but I’m beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel… thin. Sort of stretched, like… butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don’t expect I shall return. In fact I mean not to.”
– The Lord of the Rings

I can hardly believe it! But it’s official! I am leaving for Scotland on Sunday to travel to see my buddy love, Riikka for a month!!! I’m so freakin’ excited about everything – even the plane ride, haha! This marks my first time on a plane, out of the country, let alone being solo! I’m so excited for all the places we’ve planned to go and of course ‘meeting’ Riikka. We’ve known each other for over 5 years now and she’s someone who is very special to me and important in my life and been there for the many crazy things that have happened to me. Ah! Love you girly!

We’re planning to go to the beautiful Stone haven, which is so freaking stunning. Loch Ness will be really cool too and Edinburgh is also really one that I’m sure to be stunning because of it’s Gothic style architecture. We’ll also just have fun watching tons of films and going to the cinema. There are a few films coming out in the UK we hope to see such as Lesbian Vampire Killers, Fifty Dead Men Walking and Let the Right One In; given they get released nearby. I wish Little Ashes would too. If not there is plenty of older films we will watch too.

In other truly amazing news, almost unreal to me still, we’ve booked a four day trip to Paris! Paris has always been in my top list of places to see but what makes this totally unreal is we’re going to see the goddess, the queen, the sensational Dita Von Teese perform at the Crazy Horse! (!!!!) It’s truly a dream come true to see her perform especially as her performances are quite rare, or almost impossible for someone average to go to. Crazy is also her favorite venue, so it will be so amazing!

I’m so excited to experience the Montmartre at night, see the iconic Eiffel tower in person. We will also definitely be going to Versailles, seeing the stunning Notre-Dame architecture will be amazing. We’ll also see several other museums such as Musée Gustave Moreau and hopefully the Louvre. Riikka is an art historian so there will be a huge appreciation to see things from her perspective. So bloody excited! It will be cool to also shop in general, I may look for some films with Mylène Jampanoï, she starred in Martyrs and I’m quite captivated by her and french horror at the moment.

Gosh, I truly can’t believe it! All of this kind of came up due to wishing and hoping because of some really upsetting things at the first of the month. Here’s to hoping my plane won’t crash and I don’t die of a heart attack from the excitement along the way.

I’m really, really fed up with “the new Interview magazine”.

Some of you might be confused by this message. But as a subscriber since 2006, I’ve followed and clung to every issue faithfully since I started getting the magazine, I think nearly three years more than justifies a rant. I caught on “late”, but that was only because the magazine wasn’t available to me and I wasn’t able to subscribe then. Long story short, I found a copy of the magazine totally fell head over heels with the gorgeous photoshoots and interesting interviews of tons of my favorite celebrities (and genuine up and comers) and was hooked. Seriously it was like a drug. Not only were the shoots so fabulously flirty, colorful, total 1930-50s throwbacks but It was a magazine I actually read front to back. I know 90s issues are totally 90s (not so much pin-up) but it was still fresh, fun and funky unlike any other magazine.

Cut to late 2008! (more…)
