Grey weather and outfit

Big hello to my beautiful people!!

FINALLY an outfit post! I know I haven't done one in so long... I think "ugh, it's so hard to take photos by myself" but then as soon as I do it, I think "Oh hey, that wasn't hard... I should do this more...". Silly me. Didn't put a whole heap of thought into my outfit today... it's grey and gloomy outside and coincidentally I picked an outfit that matched the sky hahaha. Went out with a friend and did some of my Christmas shopping! I hope all of you are having a lovely day :)

Also, EXCITING NEWS! After stalking the lookbook.nu website religiously for probably the last year, I have finally signed up!! If you have an account, would mean the world to me if you hyped my looks and fanned me! Considering at the moment I have 0 hypes and 0 fans... hahaha :P
I'm not expecting to get heaps of traffic on the site at all... just thought it would be fun to finally sign up and show my support to all of the bloggers on there that I love... and I thought I might as well post some looks on there as well :)

This is the link to my Lookbook.nu profile:

Hope you're all enjoying the holiday season!

Disgusted...

If you know me well, you'd know I'm pretty passionate about gay rights. While I myself am straight, I have gay family members and tons of gay friends (generally pretty normal when you're doing a Performance degree in uni!!) so I've grown up knowing that there's nothing wrong with being gay, and that you should be comfortable with your sexuality.

However, sadly, there are a lot of people that don't think this way due to religious beliefs and basically just plain ignorance! Instead, they grow up with the belief that homosexuality is a choice, that they will go to hell for being gay, and that they do not deserve equal rights.

For those ignorant people that have not taken the time to get to know anyone gay, let me enlighten you...

1) Being gay is NOT a choice!! You would have to be living under a rock to not realise how much discrimination gay people experience. Why on earth would ANYONE willingly choose to be gay and experience all of this? I have gay friends that have struggled with "coming out" for years and years and years because they've wanted their feelings to go away and are scared as to what other people might think!

2) They are not freaks, and there is nothing wrong with them!!!  I have a few straight friends who have been straight their entire lives, and then found themselves attracted to someone of the same sex, but noone else of the same sex, just that one person. That does not make them gay. We do not fall in love with boys or girls, we fall in love with people. Why is that such a crime? They cannot be expected to turn their feelings off, or just become straight. It's how they are, and even if they want to, they can't just change.

3) They are not all the same! TV shows and films tend to represent them all in the same way... as flamboyant, materialistic, loud and often obnoxious. I have gay friends who you would never guess were gay until they told you. Conversely, I have flamboyant gay friends who you can see are obviously gay, without them even speaking a word to you. I have gay friends that love shopping, I have gay friends that hate shopping. I have gay friends that love Xbox games and sports.

4) Most gay guys are not going to target straight males. This is for all ignorant straight guys that think "oh, these faggots are gonna try and anal me when I'm not looking"... They can generally tell a straight guy from a gay guy, and they're obviously not going to target you if you're straight. They're not all just out for sex.

And, even if you do know all this and still are homophobic or "hate all gay people", this DOES NOT give you the right to torment them, tease them and make their lives miserable!
I saw a play earlier this year called 'The Laramie Project' which was based on a true story about a gay teenager in Wyoming who was tortured and KILLED at the age of 15 for being gay!
These two videos have also made me emotional because I feel so terrible for gay teenagers and kids that have to deal with ignorant people bullying them and sometimes even making them think that suicide is the only way out.

I have to go now, dinner's on the table, but seriously! Leave them alone! Watch what you say because words hurt! And if you have a problem with someone about something THAT THEY CANNOT CONTROL, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!!!!

We are disposable teens

Hey hey!

So today I thought I'd do my interpretation of Marilyn Manson's makeup... Now, he has lots of different looks and I couldn't really pick just one so I've sorta combined a few together and this is what I've come up with! Was so much easier than I thought!

And I know it's not brilliant, but I think I did pretty good for a first try :)

Let me know what you think!

Summer bum

So, I'm really wanting some hot weather now. Normally, I hate summer as I struggle to find clothes to wear that can actually make a fashion statement, while you're still keeping cool at the same time (When it's too hot to wear anything but shorts and a t-shirt, how in the holy sam hill can you make that look fashionable? Know what I mean?), but in the last few months, since I've started going on lookbook.nu, reading fashion blogs and whatnot, I now have a whole lotta inspiration for summer outfit ideas.

Here are a few pictures that make me want to scream with excitement for summer!!

As you can see, I'm really into hats at the moment. It's really hard to find the types that I want though because it seems like every single store near me only seems to stock one type of hat... this type, in a range of colours...

Which, you know, is cute and all, BUT I ALREADY BOUGHT ONE LAST SEASON!!! Sigh... hopefully I'll find my dream hat one day. And by that time, maybe my hair will have grown out finally to the length I want it to. And maybe I'll be rich and famous with my own personal butler and a strawberry garden. I can dream, can't I?

Hoping your weather is a lot more predictable than what we're experiencing...

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!!! I hope you all have exciting plans for tonight (if you're into Halloween)!
I went to a party on Saturday night for my friend Violette's 20th, and it was Halloween themed. Had such a good night! Drank too much (what's new?) and ended up spooning with some friends on a fold out couch. It was great.

This is what I wore... I was a vampire! Rawr. Scary, right? ;) Sorry the outfit picture isn't that great. I was running late and didn't get to snap my outfit beforehand, and this was the best photo I could get. The wig ended up driving me crazy, so, in classy Taylor fashion, I whipped it off before the end of the night.

Would love to see pictures of your costumes! They can give me some ideas for next year ;)

Toodalooo!!!

Okay, I'm officially the worst blogger in the world. If there was a trophy for the worst, most inconsistent blogger, I think I would win it. Except, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get a trophy. I'd get tomatoes thrown at me, or be chained to a wall upside down to a wall and have all the blood rush to my head and then have people publicly humiliate me by recording it and putting it on YouTube.
Yeah, alright, maybe I have an overactive imagination. But seriously, I'm so so so so so sorry!!!!
I'm done with uni for the year now, and I have an epic 4 months off, which means lots more posts from me!!

So here's an outfit post, this is just what I wore tonight to the movies with one of my close friends. I know some people think it's a bit silly to dress up for the movies coz you're just sitting in a dark room, and when people say to me "Why are you wearing that?", I just say "Why not?"
Because, why not? :D Any excuse to dress up is a good one! I'm such a girl hahaha.

Hope you like it, and if you don't that's okay too :)

And I will DEFINITELY post soon!!

I'm not quite dead yet

Hey everyone!

I am still here, alive and kicking! I know I haven't posted in over a month, I'm a terrible blogger!

I've been really sick and also incredibly busy with uni work, therefore I have honestly not even had anything exciting to blog about. Seriously, nothing interesting has happened in my life. Except some personal stuff which I don't like putting out on the internet :P And don't worry, it's good personal stuff :)

So this post is crap again, I still don't have anything interesting to write about but I PROMISE I'M GETTING BACK TO IT! More outfit posts coming as soon as I can!!!
