Thing To Do Today

Well, according to my daily horoscope, I should be having a relatively difficult day, and that I should not fret about it, and let the nasties run its course. And rightfully so, I am in a bit of rut cranking out the new collection.

With concepts, designs and samples down pat, the real work begins. I am so "let's-move-on-to-the-next-design-shall-we?", I get bored having to make the other side of a pair of earrings. Now that I have to make one or two more pairs of each prototype design, I am certainly not quite the excited bunny. >_<

But I shall sit myself at the worktable now, and get my arse in gear, one way or the other.

So here's to leaving it all up to The Way It Is. With a little help from Me, Myself and I.

Monthly Giveaway

A large, dramatic Klimt hoop, decked with onyx, cream Swarovski pearl, lavender agate, and turquoise. The hoops are 5cm in diameter, and hang about 5.7cm from the bottom of the ear wire.

In Conversation with Maya

Maya: I just realised something about my friends' mummies.

Me: What?

Maya: They all look the same. How come? (look of befuddlement)

Me: What do you mean? Like, NONE of them have tattoos and pierced noses? (mock horror)

Maya: No. ALL of them have longish layered hairstyles, and wear glasses. But some wear glasses at home only.

Me: (look of befuddlement)

Maya and The-Mother-Of-All-Chocolate-Cakes

And this would be at the P.S. Cafe at Paragon. It's a thick wedge of moist chocolate cake, topped with an equally thick layer of big marshmallows held together by solid chocolate. On the side, a scoop of creamy vanilla ice-cream. And the whole ensemble, drizzled with thick chocolate sauce. Mindblowing, I tell you. o_O

Maya, the Chocolate Fiend, had a brave go at it, and wolfed it down in a few minutes. All $15 of it. Yes, $15. Enough to feed a family of 3 at a good foodcourt. :S

I can't remember exactly what it was called, but it had the word "ultimate" in it. I bet.

Makes Me Smile

One of my all-time faves: Erykah Badu singing "Tyrone" live, and pregnant. What a woman!

Listen up...
