perfect petal storm

As I was searching for lighting references for his shoot today whilst driving home from the other side of Sydney on a rare Sunday that actually felt like a Sunday, I came across something I feel everyone should know about, especially on the Monday where I hear uni starts back.

Sasha and her climbing delicate little fingers and edible smile. "4 steps, 3 degress, 2 measures...".
The roaring and crashing noises and one perfect petal storm.
Watch it and giggle then do it again. It has to be the best thing I've seen this year.

Woolworths - The Voice from Craig Rasmus on Vimeo.

If you saw that Woolworths was trending last night, I think this may have been why. 

It was only a week or so ago that we were picked up in a big black car before the sun came up, and slept as the city and morning traffic passed us by with our heads lolling, sunk into the comfy back seats. Note to self: don't get used to the extreme luxury of having a driver - comfortably sleeping whilst getting from A to B will cause accidents on any other regular 'day in the life'.  It was a particularly cold and reasonably long day, especially for my bebe (please note I have no particular role of importance other than minion and general sisterly support) who was deathly sick but miraculously managed to look like a perfectly perky 1940's diva each and every one of the (many) takes.  Just one ad break out from the end of The Voice grand finale the final clip was aired and our loungeroom sat silently mesmerised and saw it was worth every single second...every minute, every hour - sorry, an obvious song reference should always be expected from me - of that chilly winter day spent in a big, black warehouse on the 'other' side of Sydney. Big ups to the band too! What funny chaps they were and how dapper are off white suits? Oh and before you boo me off tonight for my particularly messy grammar and sentence structuring I think one more lot of people deserve a mention, the crew from The Feds, the ones who actually do the work. 

Sorry sis but you're stuck with me now, I'm in for the ride baby!

Attention please all you friendly blog readers! You know I don't post things I don't like...in fact just last night I was involved in a discussion that had me refuting the fact I've never done anything I don't like. What I could come up with was 1) eating fish when I was a kid and b) making my bed, also when I was a kid. Evidently I ended up losing that argument - but gaining an anecdote to back me up on the fact you should definitely watch the above video.

Watch it...

go on....

don't worry, I'm waiting....

Genius, right?! Voice over guy I want to take you out with me on the weekend. Dance floors all over Sydney would seriously benefit from someone cleverly and oh so delightfully taking the p*ss. Fine, Marloes you can come cause you're a TOTAL minx and Sid, you too. I really like your Angry Janitor move. Me being me must mention the gorgeous, warm, beautifying light used throughout. Very nicely done by JN Motion. 

I was rather chuffed with the prompting to rediscover River Island online as I did a quick browse with tomorrows schedule of work -> date night in mind, and came out with this combo in less time than it takes me to drink a cup of tea. If they can make you dance with Marloes Horst surely they can find a way to express ship to Australia?!
