in other (slightly related) news Llama Del Rey has been seen out and about with a new man too....

here's a snippet from a recent interview with her:


Lucky: How has the Llama community reacted to your rise to fame?

Llama: There will always be llamas in your life that try to regurgitate you (I'm talking to YOU, Libby)

Lucky: Thanks Llama, any parting words of wisdom for our readers?

Llama: If we were Born To Die, we should experience life to the fullest. Have fun, laugh a lot, and be spontaneous. So, the next time your friend asks, "Do you Guanaco on a trip?" all you have to say is, "Sure, Alpaca bag!"


follow her on twitter @LlamaDelRey and check out her new album

London Fashion Week Roundup- all the trends Here!

so london fashion week is over today (today is menswear day so doesn’t count…although this time last year that’s where we were obvs: http://thegrove-w210.blogspot.com/2010/09/youve-got-male.html )


so the question you're all asking is what’s hot for autumn/winter 12/13? ?


i’ve made various lists/been working on mood boards but I think the below correspondence (bottom to top) pretty much sums it up.





So there you have it fashionistas and normal people alike. its leaves.

is there a hate button?

i was innocently scrolling through my facebook newsfeed and was left shocked and apalled after happening upon the following status update:

"Shania Twain- Come on Over! What an awesome collection of songs! just chilling listening to her :-)"

what the...? time to de-friend?

it got me thinking about about the things people do on FB that i hate the most;

vague status’s for attention… “my cat is the only one who understands me”. ..”want to drive my car into a brick wall”.

overuse of acronyms and smiley/sad/general faces and punctuation, which also goes alongside lazy grammar and spelling mistakes (especially on purpose)


those who feel the need to share their mundane life with everyone else…”going grocery shopping”…”stuck in traffic”.. WE. DON’T. CARE.

oversharing

confusing facebook with real life

time for a "friends" cull i think...

J & T's Hero ('s) of the Month

Enid and Rebecca from Ghost world: The totally brilliant 2001 movie based on the cult comic by the same name. we can totally relate. In fact rumour has it the characters were actually loosely based on J & T’s suburban adventures a long time ago.



[coming out of their high school graduation ceremony]

Enid: God, what a bunch of retards...

Rebecca: I thought Chipmunk-face was never going to shut up.

Enid: I know, I liked her better when she was an alcoholic crack addict! She gets in one car wreck and all of a sudden she's Little Miss Perfect and everybody loves her.

Rebecca: It's totally sickening."



Melorra: Oh my god, you guys. We actually made it!

Enid: [Deadpan] Yeah. We graduated high school. How... totally... amazing."

coke scandal rocks w2

you may remember A from the diet coke ads. (as well as being a frequent W210 character). http://thegrove-w210.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-think-im-engaged.html . you won’t be wrong if you noticed her missing from the latest campaign.


where's A?


this is due to an incriminating photo of her which has recently surfaced online. Her agent insists it was taken years ago.

however all is not lost, A, the 'kate moss of the beverage world' has scored herself another lucrative campaign and her career is back on track and set to be better than ever despite the scandal.
