Discrimination is rife in our communities and the only way for change to occur is through the growth of love, kindness, compassion and empathy in our hearts. When we walk in someone elses shoes its amazing how empowered we become to speak on their behalf."In every civil rights movement everyone marched, this is how it always was. Because if you want equality for all its got to be all who care and give a damn. If you dont give a damn about someone elses equal rights you better start thinking about your own because if you say its a free society a free country where people are allowed to speak and be who they are well, except for some, then you better watch out that some day your not on the other list. .. you either are free or your not. ... who wants to not have equal rights?..."
I got taken to see Inception tonight and I'm still buzzing. Is everything all a dream? The concept of a dream collapsing in on itself is portrayed in a surreal context where each layer of the dream operates in a time frequency exagerated beyond the first.
HRH Lady Gaga just posted this message on Facebook to her fans....
Look at the love and beauty in her words.. Oh how precious she is! XXX Continue...I would like to make my little monster fans aware of a protest being held outside the Monsterball in St.Louis tonight. Although we have had protesters before, as well as fundamentalists at the show, this group of protesters are hate criminals and preach using lewd and violent language and imagery that I wish I protect you all from. Their message is of hatred and divisiveness, but inside at the Monsterball we preach love and unity."At the risk of drawing attention to a hateful organization,
My request to all little monsters and public authorites is to pay these hate criminals no mind. Do not interact with them, or try to fight, Do not respond to any of their provocation. Don't waste your words, or feelings, no matter what you hear or see you are more fortunate and blessed than they are, and in your heart just pray for them. Although I respect and do not judge anyone for their personal views on any politics or religion, this group in particular to me, is violent and dangerous I wanted to make my fans aware of my views on how to approach, or rather not approach, these kinds of hate activists.
Be inspired to ignore their ignorant message, and feel gratitude in your heart that you are not burdened or addicted to hate, as they are. X" - Lady Gaga
"This 2 minute global film was shot by multi-award winning director Adam Berg over four weeks in Brazil, France, London and India. Every location is real and they remain transformed by a palette consisting of 120 different colours. The people in the film are not actors, they are real people who rolled up their sleeves to transform their community with colour."LOVE the idea -so rad to see abandoned/graffiti ravaged public spaces transformed and made new.. but I feel a little uncomfortable by the last scene that shows chemically created colours being plastered over ancient looking stone walls... West-stamps-East????
"Bastille Day commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress-prison was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern nation, and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution. Festivities are held on the morning of 14 July, on the Champs-Élyséese avenue in Paris in front of the President of the Republic."
"Given Max is an iconic New Zealand fashion brand I wanted the design to have a New Zealand flavour which I have depicted with the use of our native birds, the tui and Fantail, plus Kowhai flowers. As a young New Zealand woman it is a privilege to be aligend with a charity that has the interests of other like-minded New Zealand women at its core"
I had a day off today and it was so lovely to explore my city a little. I met for coffee with one of my fave graphic designers and then had a little wander through Ponsonby on my way home. I am becoming so aware of the need to really open my eyes - sometimes little treasures go unoticed.

p.s. These were just snapped on my phone.. my camera needs to go to the doctor. *sad face*.
(I over zoomed on this one but I love how the little pods are hanging on the tree like Christmas decorations... so precious like a little fairy has dressed the tree!)
I got a hair chop!!! Posibly the most anxioius I have ever felt at a hairdresser!
Kept my blunt fringe it's just swept under at the moment... ohhhh undercuts!
