Every Day Is Valentine's Day

And what a great evening it was! 

So, Noel Fielding (one half of the comedy due, The Mighty Boosh), has been in Australia with his stand-up comedy show. I attended his Brisbane show on Thursday night (May 7th). Oh, what a night!

You know what I love about Noel? He didn't just stand there and go on about his childhood, family and relationships (sorry other comedians). Noel does not equal average comedian. In fact, he was a bit weird, haha! But a good weird. No, weird isn't the right word. He was zany!



So what did he do? Well, he sang, he played characters from his TV show, Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy and even re-told a crazy dream about being a teabag. He also went on and on and on with this "chicken" joke, which I must admit, confused the hell out of me. I had no idea what was going on but I still found it hilarious. He also interacted with one of his TV characters, "the moon" and its alter ego, "the dark side of the moon" - all done with projection.

It was so cool when Noel's brother, Michael joined him on stage....dressed as a woman (I wish I could find a photo, DAMMIT). There was another dude but I had no idea who he was....awkward. Apparently 'other dude' is from Noel's new TV show. Anyway, the three guys created a love triangle story, with the "other man" actually dressed up as a triangle!

Hecklers! Always there to ruin the night. Why the hell do people insist on yelling out random crap in the middle of stand-up comedy? WHY! Are you trying to impress someone? Are you trying to put the comedian off? Or are you just being an ass? Anyway, the reason why doesn't really matter. What matters is that the comedians always seem to shut them down. Ahhh that's what I love about comedians, especially Noel (heckled so many times throughout the show). He always had some awesome comeback! 

His show was everything I expected, and yet, nothing like what I expected. Good combo. Great night!

AND PARIS AND EDINBURGH.

I am going on an exciting trip to these amazing cities with my bestie, Kate. I absolutely cannot wait! To make it even better, we are going in winter! I've experienced a European winter before and I absolutely loved it!

I've been super organised with the planning of the trip, even though it's months and months away. On reflection, I can only compare my organisation and excitement to one thing...

So you know that episode of Friends where they all go to London for Ross' wedding? Well I've decided that my trip with Kate will be like Joey and Chandler's experience. If you haven't seen the episode, watch the clip below.


Basically, I'll be Joey, the annoying and overly-excited one constantly taking photos and uploading them to Instagram while Kate will be Chandler, the one wishing I would shut the hell up.

Of course Kate will be really excited! She won't be as sarcastic as Chandler, but she will definitely tell me to calm down. Personally, I think being a "Joey" is so much better. So Kate, if you read this....be more of a "Joey" by the time our trip comes around!

What kind of traveler are you? A Joey or a Chandler?

"Bad bitches are taking over the world" - A quote from the book, #GIRLBOSS, that really stood out to me and NOT because I'm a bad bitch. Well....

For me, "bad bitches" refers to those who fight for what they want, work hard and kick ass in whatever they do. I'd like to think that I'm somewhat THAT kind of bad bitch. To be successful, I think it's imperative to be a "bad bitch".

Look, I'm just going to put it out there...I absolutely hate shopping for jeans! I'm sure I'm not the only one. It's so frustrating trying to find the right pair, especially when they need to be a certain colour, cut and style! In my case, I needed a specific type of jeans for work.

My checklist to find the perfect jeans:

1. Black (jeans that preferably won't fade)

2. Skinny Jeans

3. Stretchy (as stretchy as possible without being leggings)

4. Mid-rise (high waisted jeans were going to be too uncomfortable to move around/act in all day and low rise....i don't want a muffin top)

5. Preferably crop (I have short legs and I don't want a pair of jeans that could double up as shoes and they also need to be tight around the ankles)

6. Look good and comfortable (some jean brands look great on, some don't)

Yes, quite a specific list, but hey! Surely I can find a pair of black skinny, mid-rise, cropped jean, that are quite stretchy and don't make women's legs look like dumplings? WRONG.

So about a week ago I attended the Miranda Sings concert at Brisbane Powerhouse. If you don't know who Miranda Sings is, please go and check her out:
