GTL Baby?

Most of you know about Jersey Shore, right?

Well for those so unfortunate (or fortunate, not sure) to not know about this genius of a program, Jersey Shore revolves around the lives of a few Guidos and Guidettes who are living in a place on the Jersey Shore and working for a guy in his clothes shop. Sounds epic, I know.

One of the better known ones, Mike...or 'The Situation' (a self- coined term that refers to his abs in such 6-pack condition it causes a 'Situation') is releasing a book around the start of November. The juicy little name of this literary genius?

'Here's the Situation'.

Yep. The Situa- Mike is releasing a book on what, you ask? Well:

"A Guide to Creeping on Chicks, Avoiding Grenades, and Getting in Your GTL on the Jersey Shore"

I shit you not.

Here is a run down of what the above means (yes I watched the Jersey Shore at uni...it was a slow week, ok)

Creeping on chicks: My belief is that in layman's terms this pretty much just means flirting.
Avoiding Grenades: A grenade is most simply, an undesirable bed partner. Say one of the boys wants to take home one girl, but she won't leave without her...not as hot girlfriend. The boy grabs one of his mates, perhaps a wingman, and it is then the wingman's job to take the other girl home- AKA taking a grenade.
GTL: Surely you have all heard about Gym. Tan. Laundry. 'Nuff said.

Here are some amazing Situations from the man himself snatched from stylelist.com

Get Abs-Fabulous: You can "crush chicken parm," he says, but push the pasta to the side or risk substituting the "six-pack for a sick-pack." Get it? Ha! That's a funny situation.


He Digs His Threads: The reality star recommends frequent eyebrow threading because, "When you're creeping on a chick you want her gazing deeply into your haunting eyes, not checking out your bushy brows."


Real-Life Fashion Situation: Sorrentino claims he arrived at New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Spring 2010 Inner Circle Dinner with a big, white security tag still on his jacket. Realizing he looked like a shoplifter, he went topless except for a tie. 

So, now after your little crash course on the Jersey Shore and The Situation, will YOU be buying this classic (to be spoken of in the hallowed halls of institutions such as Oxford along the same literary lines as Hemingway and Austen?)

Anyway, it's Stonefest and i'm tired and want to go to bed. (I fail as a uni student)

The Lady goes GaGa...agagagain

Remembe when Lady GaGa died her hair grey?
No?

Okay, here is a recap:


http://www.beautyandthedirt.com/2010/08/04/grey-like-gaga/


Well then she died her hair pink...I think...perhaps that was before the grey, I just can't keep up with her shenanigans.

Anyway, Lady GaGa has gone back to her grey roots grandma style and paid homage to her beloved geriatric-flavoured style.

She should call herself Lady Crazy...ha.ha.ha. I am so amazingly funny for a Monday, right?!

*silence*

What do you guys think of the Lady's hairstyle?

Rate or hate?

Be honest...she won't bite...she probably doesn't even read this blog...

Someone's got detention now...

In the latest thing to piss parents off (PPO), GQ has come under fire after its 'racy' shoot involving Glee gals Lea Michele and Dianna Agron.

They were steamy, naked, touching each other while licking whipped cream off  each other's fingers.

Now, if that was the case then DERRRR parents would be piiiised awwwff.
But no, they were posing on the front cover with co-star Corey Monteith looking still relatively OK minus the locker-room underwear.

Doesn't Mr. Monteith look chuffed

Okay, the cover isn't what got parental blood boiling.

This didn't help

Gosh, check out Lea Michele's constant saucy lip. I'm not talking about the colour of her lip stick, this girl sure knows how to PPO and amp up her sultry image, like, 78534 per cent. Take some notes off Dianna, you are not known for your sexual prowess, so stop trying to look like a Playboy Bunny and SMILE A LITTLE!

Let's remark on the way in which PPO occured.

Here is Lea as Rachel. Innocent, sing like a mofo, high-schooler, Glee Club hearting, Rachel.

Now here is suggestively licking lolly-pop, how-did-I-end-up-at-my-school-locker-without-my-pants-whoops, Lea.

See why parents are spitting chips?

I dunno what all the fuss is about really. Here we have two girls (and a guy...and a pizza place) who are NOT in high school. So what if they portray 17 year olds...Dianna's character Quinn had.a.baby last season.

Gosh...she can give birth but when she wears lovely underwear in a men's mag THATS when the parent's come knocking. And do the parents not care about Lea's tattoos?

What do you smelly people think?

Should parents be Pised Awf?

Or does it really matter because it's not like the majority of kids that watch Glee will pick up GQ, flip through and lose their shit?

By all means, lend me your comments.

Get your ball on

One of the best things about living on res?

Communal showers?

NO.

Drunken people knocking on your window. On a Tuesday night. At 4.30 am?

No.

Res Ball?

YES! I was wondering when you would guess!

Each year there is a ball where those that live on campus get extra jazzed up, GHD their hair like never before, then get absolutely, unbelievably, unfathomably shit.faced. (sorry mum)

My girls at last years ball (I was the amazing photographer)

However- the worst part about living on res?

Finding the PERFECT res ball dress. 

Actually, thats hardly the WORST thing. It's probably one of the most fun. What a doofus.

Which brings me to my next pic: my twenty-ten res ball dress

http://images.asos.com/inv/media/4/0/0/2/1342004/multi/image1xxl.jpg

Isn't she ama.zing?!!

You will soon learn, young smell-hopper that I am not black-wearing-ball-attending kinda gal. I go for the exciting and the floral. FLORAL is my FAVOURITE thing to wear. Capitals tell you its the truth as I can hardly contain my excitement at this dress. I made approximately 538 spellings boo-boos just then because my fingers can hardly remain attached to the brain nerves.

And just to get more in the mood, my friend Lexie tonight decided to get into the ball spirit and wear a ball gown to KFC. Oh, I have some super wacky friends. Their wackieness just puzzles me.

Lexie rocking KFC ball style, but keepin' it real in a hoody

There you have it.

What do you think of my ball dress?

What is your favourite way to get in the mood for a special occasion?

Share the love! I'd love to hear from you!

Oh, and PEE ESS, wanna see my amazing birthday cake?

Well you can't see the WHOLE thing. My lovely friend Margot ate a quarter of it while she was...lets say...drunk. Yep. As a skunk.

It was still delicious!

Thanks Margot

What a Smelly birthday

Hai!

So on the 12th I turned the big 2-0 (not that big really!) and it was simply one of the best birthdays ive ever had! I had a shit tonne of assessments to do, and I had class 10-3.30 on the actual day- but it was still amazing for some reason!

Then last night I hit the Lighthouse (pretty much UC's version of uni bar) and celebrated in epic style with my nearest and dearest!

Margot, Ellen, Me and Mon pre-drinking

It's funny, I always thought I wouldn't feel any different leaving my teens behind and turning 20- but actually, at risk of sounding corny, I actually feel a little grown up! BIG thing- i'm one of the most hypo people you will ever meet, and at my short 158cms I really do look like a 12 year old.

So, i've stolen a little "getting to know you quiz" from my amazing friend Rin at http://rinniez-rinniez.blogspot.com to mark my 20-ness. Think of it like a bit of a new-age-blog time capsule- let's see if anything has changed in a few years!

1. where are you from and where do you call "home"?

I was born in Canberra but when my parents separated when I was two my mum and I moved to a small country town in the central west called Cowra. I lived there until I was 18 when I moved back to Canberra to go to uni! 

My dad still lives down here so I guess I call his place home. I slightly call res home, but most of all Cowra is my home.

View from my 'thinking rock' in Cowra

2. What is your favourite pizza topping?

I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE BBQ chicken and bacon but recently my boyf and I discovered this amazing Italian eatery called (do I dare advertise?!) Little San Severo. My absolute favourite pizza from there is a seafood one and I can eat the whole thing nearly...attractive, right?

Love/hate relationship

3. Where is your ideal holiday destination?

Somewhere rich with history. I can't wait to explore Europe, but so far i've frequented the islands of New Caledonia.

My favourite of these is Vanuatu. I've been there about three times and love the laid back atmosphere and blue, warm, amazing water and sea-life.

 

Vanuatu, Google style from http://fbc-wa.org/Hirtzels/about.html

4. Where do you want to be in 10 years time?

Sitting in my office editing a successful magazine with an amazing, inspiring staff surrounding me and a supportive dude that doesn't get angry when I rush out the door at seven am and return at midnight on deadline.

I've made a promise to myself to be an editor by my 27th birthday. I've been interning since June 2009 at a mag at ACP and straight after uni I plan to jump straight into making my promise come true.

Kids can happen sometime after that. No biggie.

5. What would you do on your perfect Sunday?

NOT catch a 3 hour bus to Sydney. BUT because I love my internship, the bus comes with it.

On the Sundays I don't catch my bus, I would love to lazily wake up and just hang out with my friends. Eat some greasy food to quell the pain of the night before and laze around on the grass. in the sun. listening to tunes. laughing. poking little childre--I  mean, loving life.

Lazy Sundays

6. Tell me something random about yourself.

This is my generic answer:

I can fit my whole fist in my mouth. I either have an abnormally small hand or an abnormally large mouth- I think its a bit of both.

Tell me what are your hopes for the future, your favourite things to do and what makes you smile on the inside and out.

Back to basics

Ahoi Smellies!

I'm happy this morning. Is it because i'm handing in completed assessments on time? Hardly. Because I just indulged in some delicious strawberry yogurt? Nope!

I am rejoicing in the fact that fresh-faced beauty (apart from a random deep berry lip, which is still oh-so-chic) is bigger than ice-cream in summer.

Sure there may a dramatic eye every now and then, but the general feel is nude lip, slightly bronzed cheeks, a subtle coat of mascara and not much else!

Why is procrastinating so damn amazing?

I got back to uni yesterday and STILL haven't unpacked one.bit.of.luggage.

Not one pair of underwear, not one pillowslip, heck, not even my GHD.

I rang my boyf to stay at his place so I didn't have to put the doona back in the doona cover.

Why do we do this? When something pressing comes up, why do we by pass it instead of getting it over and done with asap? If I just put up with 10 minutes of annoyance, I would not be faced with a mountain of clothes, bedding and towels to unpack before I go to bed tonight.
I was going to post a pic of my room here, but as I noted in my first post- I want you to like me! A picture will only cause you all to tut tut and look upon me with utmost contempt. Not.wanted.

So here I pose a question to all those that read this (if anyone does yet, I really need to start spreading the smelly gospel more).

What do you procrastinate about?

Oh yeah, and i'm also meant to be writing two essays right now instead of blogging...damn procrastination!

Braid Me Up

What better way to end Paris Fashion Week than with braids, braids and more braids!

I love braids! The dullest of hair types can pull of a braid and it doesn't matter if they are messy, neat or deliberately wayward, I have never met a braid I didn't like.

My fave you ask? Why, it has to be the fringe braid. Recently I was growing out my fringe and there are only so many head bands you can wear to keep pesky strands off your face.

TRY THE BRAID!

LC rockin' the braided fringe

You can either start from one ear and braid hair around to the other ear, or you can start a palm's width up along the hair line.

Start  by grabbing a small section of hair and braid around, incorporating hair into the braid from the hair line only. (I find that if you gather hair from both sides of the plait you can go a bit wonky and off course.

Secure with some bobby pins, or braid it under the hair and fasten with an elastic/include it into a ponytail.

VOILA!

Now, have a squiz at Paris'  version of the braid...courtesy of stylelist.com

Pics playing up...will try again after work...blahh technology!

Welcome to Polyvore!

Welcome to Polyvore! by Who's that Smell? on Polyvore.com

Here i've had a little toggle around polyvore.com after getting some inspiration from totheglamourborn.com

Whaddaya think?

The original Material Girl hits shallow high

After noon smellies!

We all know who Madonna is.

You don't? 

Oh, you nearly had me there!

Anyhoo, the latest poke to Madge's self esteem has surfaced with the leakage (that word should be reserved for tampon ads, I swear) of some not-so-flattering snaps of Madonna looking well...all vein-y...and, shit. It's caused an uproar (gasp, oh no, WTF...mate). 

Who knew this chick was in her 50's!? I thought she was still 21. Pffft. I don't understand what everyone is getting antsy about. As Scar-Jo puts it, "No one wants to look like an old hag."

If you haven't seen the pics, check them out here, courtesy of http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/how-photoshop-gave-madonna-an-immaculate-complexion/story-e6frfmqi-1225933280841

Rightio, this is the first pic, the 'untouched one'. (bum bum bahhhhhhh)

Okay, she's in her 50's. Okay she likes her yoga (check out those guns!). Okay she has nice, sticky outy veins.

What of it?

Now check this one out

HOLY BALOOZAH! Who is this bird? She looks, like, 20! (and I turn 20 next week, so I WOULD know) It's amazing how in the time it took for the photographer to switch a little switch on his snapper to 'black and white' Madonna's veins and muscles went bye-bye. Magic! 

So what do you guys reck? Is re-touching warranted or is this a case of one photoshop sesh too far?

Comment til your heart's content.

Out with the scruffy, in with the sleek

I was waiting for this trend to end!! My hair will also thank me. No more teasing, no more scrunching- and combing is compulsory.

By the looks of it- sleek, Hollywood, curled hair is very much back.on. And thank Jebus it couldn't have come soon enough!

Think bouncy, tousled curls versus day old frazzled hair.

www.primped.com.au

Here is Anna Hathway, epitome of old school glam. These are the kind of curls that say "It took me, liiiike ten minutes to get ready, but I look like the most expensive person in the room."

Then you've got the messy-like hair that was the shit for about a millennium.

Here is example 2. Normally Ms. Biel is never one to put a foot wrong, BUT, her hair just looks so...dead!

So here is an end of September Resolution:

No more teasing.

No more deliberate sex hair.

No more spraying the roots with enough hair spray to destroy the o-zone layer.

No more,mmmkay?!

Everytime you break this, Bindi Irwin will get a new tv show.

Sure you're willing to risk that?
