tastey

Completely blissed out from a rare, relaxing, computer free, book reading, bath soaking, journal writing, freshly washed sheet filled eve. Didn't think it could get any better until my Mum delivered this to my bed at around midnight. Happiness is!

The cover puts the eff in fresh. Will post highlights soon for those unlucky enough to not yet get your hands on a copy.

night at the museum

You should probably go to Jurassic Lounge if you live in Sydney even if it's just to feel bad ass and have a ssssnake wrapped around you. Looking back I'm devastated I didn't bust into parseltongue.
Other highlights included silent discos, attractive creatures littered throughout the place (human beings included), the smell of party pies, wine, minerals (see below), discovering wildlife photography is NOT boring, dress ups, short films and the snobbish satisfaction of getting 'cultured' on a Tuesday night whilst everyones at home watching Top Gear. Ew.

the desires

I love this so much I could cry, actually I think I did.

If you read this I am making you make me accountable to these next words: I am creating a Sasha Pivovarova by Mikael Jansson inspired shoot with my first born.

Yeah I don't have a man and I talk about my future babies what are you gonna do about it?

Website finally up & rockin'!

I don't believe in endorsing every service you use (you become numb to bloggers pimping very quickly, no?) but I do believe the talented creator of the site deserves a mention. Ryan at Revelry Studios had a sixth sense not like ESPN of knowing how to turn all my fluffed up airy cupcake words into a real living breathing clickable viewable thing of sorts. (Yeahtheinternetisaliveanditbreathesshutup).
Can not recommend highly enough revelrystudios.com.au

Frequent posting to resume here stat.

Indescribable beauty that has left with me with stars in my eyes and dreams to the sky.

reflection eternal

Songofsongs The Man 04

The sweet, fragrant curves of your body,
the soft spiced contours of your flesh
Invite me, and I come. I stay
until dawn breathes its light and night slips away.
You're beautiful from head to toe, my dear love,
beautiful beyond compare, absolutely flawless.

I love wide angle backstage photos. I also love gold...and pretty things, and Jason Wu so you can guess my feelings towards the above.

After 30 seconds my net browsing attention deficit disorder self was itching to close the tab not having time ('cause I'm like really busy and stuff) to cringe through another hipster forest gang bang.
Just as I went to scratch that itch a decent beat dropped buying another 30 seconds, then....BOOM!

Once Kat George has written about something I suddenly feel so ineloquent(?) so watch the video then head here to read about Melbourne sensation Kristina Miltiadous.

The most perfect Sunday.
Scenic train trip. Read book front to back. 3 hour brunch. Try to unravel mysteries of attraction. Learn of a theory that makes me happy. Get excited about cameras. Be inspired. See potential. Lay on bed. Walk the dog. Dive in ocean. Observe Miss Thai bikini shoot. Vomit in our mouths a little. Eat Mums Macedonian home feast. Party in our mouths a little. Drive home. End the day with Sunday soul food.
Refreshed.

Tell me your Sunday story.

CASTING CALL.

Starting new project involving photos (with yours truly behind the lens) and themes of street corners, icecream, sunshine, lollipops and fresh faces. Cheeky but slmut free. Dairy products dripping on nipples is NOT a requirement unless of course you...oh nup forget it.

You live in Sydney and you know you want to be involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rachel.kara@hotmail.com.

This is where it all begins. In my bedroom sometime around midnight eating an almond Magnum.

Dean Martin happened to be timed to perfection so I slapped the track on top of the video just for good measure.
Probably could have done with something a little less classic, but it makes it awkward enough to eliminate any possible suggestiveness of the whole affair.

A simple reminder that inspiration lies not only in what we make but what He (or apes, or a big bang or who/whatever you like to think re: this universe coming into being) created first.








A casual Tuesday evening stroll around a mineral display later and we'd successfully created accessory collections for the next 258 seasons + a range of prints to be used on pleated maxi skirts, light and airy silk camis, shift dresses, sheer blazers, button ups....the list goes on.

dirty B

Mesmerised by this clip from Bonjour Tristesse, the film adaptation of 17 year old Françoise Sagan's classic literary effort.

If that wasn't enough - I almost wet. my. pants. when I saw the following.
If I had of created these images I promise you I would be loving myself so sick it would make you gag.
Makes me wanna be a lady in the least ladylike way possible.




Inspired by this...

Heavenly. Don't know if there's a good enough word to describe them but do feel free to make some suggestions :)
