Funny...

I'm miles behind with all my reading of magazines which come through my door every month BUT...in a random ASOS magazine today I was reading an interview with Theo from the band 'Hurts' on festivals...saw this band play in Cardiff last year...wasn't that impressed but some of the things he said in this made me laugh and totally agreed with him
Thought I'd share a few of his answers / quotes which made me laugh...


'Most people go for shorts and a hat - whats your festival staple?' : "...But I don't understand - why not wear a suit to a festival? If I was at the park I'd wear one."

'What would it take to get you into a pair of wellies?' : "...I would wear them at a festival, but you should only wear them when you have to. I saw people in wellies last year at Glastonbury when it was boiling hot. No need! Your feet will melt into tiny raisin."

'What do you think when you look into the festival crowd and see topless men with Umbro shorts?' : "You've got to deal with it in the best way possible. But I'll tell you what I'll never understand - people who wear stupid hats at festivals. You don't wear them any other time. Or a dread lock hat! I've seen it all. They walk around going, "Look at me, I'm at a festival, I'm wacky." Ban them."

'How would you feel if we made you wear a flip-flop?' : "Not into it. Can't handle it. Impossible to walk in, for starters...".

Some of it made me chuckle anyway...

Weird Is The New Sex...

As we all know Gaga is the absolute queen of the weird video...alot of it being her own imagination...and I 'effin love her for it....






Does anyone else think since the beginning of the Gaga boom in 2008, the other queens of Pop (love them or hate them) seem to have realised that it can be cool to be 'weird' in their videos also. They do not need to wear the tightest / most revealing clothes or dance the most provocative dance routines to make a decent music video.

Miss Plastic Cole...


Attempts weird in her '3 Words' video.


Naked Katy Perry...


to full on alien freak in 'ET' video.


An oldie, but lolly sucking Kelis...


to horned golden girl in 'Acapella' video.


Umberella waving french maid Rhianna...


to no pupiled monster in her 'Disturbia' video.


No one will do it like Gaga though.

Thai People...

Well, I havn't updated this for a while.
I returned from my Thailand trip about 2 weeks ago now and things have been hectic! I've been wondering where to start really...I think the amazing people of Thailand deserve the first mention...







Every single one of the people in these photos were friendly, helpful, welcoming and generally amazing.
As long as you respect their culture and way of life, and show them that you do, they'll welcome you with open arms. Brilliant.
