Riding In Cars With Boys
You know you've had a good time when you end the night at 3am swinging off a truck. With enough Sailor Jerry's in me (sooo not an innuendo btw), I'd probably do the same.

Love You Better
I haven't stopped listening to this since I first heard it. I think it might be because I'm in love with the lead singer....regardless of the dodgy pirate earring. I've just spent the past 2 hours youtubing the hell out of them - I should really keep that kind of information to myself?
A Pile Of Stuff
One of my favourite film quotation's is from The Devil Wears Prada...it's a great explanation of how essential and influential the fashion industry is. Whenever friends question my decision to join the fashion industry I give them this same explanation (well, a more concise and scouse version!)
'This… ’stuff’? Oh… ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean. You’re also blindly unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar De La Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn’t it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of 8 different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you’re wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of stuff.'
