!!!!!!EXCITEMENT!!!!!!

OH MY GIDDY AUNT 

MAC is releasing a Rocky Horror make up collection!

I am excited beyond belief and had to share the news with someone. 

Now I can be Magenta erryday. 

(I really can't pull off 'erryday' in real life but here I can sound cool with no judgement or sad looks)

;)

seriously, 

I can't even. 

Arty Farty: This is possibly the best thing I've ever seen

 Art History + High Street fashion trends = a totally new hybridisation of brilliance.

How darling are these appropriations?!? 

The Frida Kahlo one is currently my lock screen because I love it so...

it even replaced my previous Rocky Horror one!
(shock, I know... something earthly can actually compete with Tim Curry) 

Enjoy.

What Does Feminism Mean To You?

For Studio Arts this year I've been researching feminism. 

I knew a fair bit about the first and second waves, but I didn't actually know much about the 'third wave' and now the feminism backlash that is so controversial. 

After our ancestors fought for us to have it as good as we do today (though there is still a fair way to go until equality) I was shocked and frankly rather disgusted at the latest 'I don't need feminism' craze. 

(Check out this link where Kitty Flanagan addresses the issue: both hilarious and brilliant! http://tenplay.com.au/channel-ten/the-project/extra/season-5/kitty-flanagan-on-feminism). 

But it got me thinking: why is this happening? 

I decided to investigate. 

What do people actually think feminism is? 

Do they understand?

Do they feel equal?

Do they feel stereotyped?

Do we still need feminism?

What does feminism mean to them? 

I made a survey and handed it out to women I know.

Teachers, fellow students, sisters, friends.

Here are the results. 

I think these results are very enlightening and interesting. 

Thoughts? 

What does feminism mean to you?

Flash Back Friday

Christine McVie bares her soul. 

Arty Farty: Embroidery

I've been doing these embroidery on photograph pieces.

I love it because it's very methodical and breathes new life into a previously overlooked or old photograph.

All of these photographs are mine from some point or another. 

This is the Catholic church in my home town.

This was taken at Mt Hotham, Victoria. 

I think this was taken when my little sisters and I were playing dinosaurs when we were younger at our holiday shack. 

I hope you like these!

Style Muse: Natalie Joos

This woman is very funky in the way she puts together outfits; I like the eclectic whirlwind of different styles that create one style.

I love the coordination between the shoes, sunnies, lips and purse. 

The crisp white top is a really good choice as it balances out all of the colours

and craziness of the t-shirt motif. 

The floaty, feminine skirt contrasts with the chunky knit but it all works well together. 

I love that headband too. 

I'd love to try this sheer look, how the skirt is short but then it drapes to almost full length.

The leotard/body suit behind which matches the shoes is effective too, as it is really 

tricky to pull off sheer where you can see under garments.
