Great Expectations

Like any day of the past week, it's broiling and tardiness is in the air. You can barely go outside of the house without feeling giddy and close to fainting. So all I do is being lazy, intensive studying (even though these two don't match), senselessly staring at the blades of the fan rotating and eating all day, especially tasty fair Tony's ChocoLonely bars. There are only a few more tests to go before I'm done with school and summer holidays will officially be announced. I'm looking forward to spend my precious and well deserved vacation in Italy, where it must be scandalously hotter than in Holland. Even thinking about last time I went to Italy, Milan, my face brightens up with 'great expectations' yet to be exceeded.◆

Chanel Bottle Play

I was having fun taking pictures of perfume bottles on my mothers dressoir. Dodgy but amusing though!◆

The Sloppy Clown Briefcase!

A friend of mine, Laurens has designed this new Sloppy clown briefcase which I think is super innovative. When thinking of a briefcase you think of something heavy and almost a burden referring to my 'Queen's day moment!', but this one can be folded. You guys really should check out his website, Amplix for more of his creations. More updates soon about his graduation collection.◆

Ape Jersey Tee

Here you've got Christopher Kane's signature unisex Gorilla, Chimp, Baboon and Mandrill tees for 224 euros from Christopher's first T-shirt line. They're made of silk-jersey. I've seen these around worn out by the fashion industry's favourites. To be quite frankly I don't really like these tees. The enlarged picture of the ever-so-scary animals on the front is just a bit too much. Also the fact that every time I look at the gorilla, it reminds me of Bokito. For those who don't know this gruesome tale here it is:

On 18th of May 2007, Bokito, the gorilla escaped from its residence in the Zoo in Holland, Rotterdam: Blijdorp. He dragged one lady with him who got severely injured. She had been bitten more than a hundred times all over her body by this monster. The lady visited the Zoo four times a week and the frequent eye-contact she made must have lead to this attack they said.

So this is what comes to mind every time I see these but apparently there is great demand for the t-shirts and it looks great on these people in contrary.◆

Old Memories

As I was looking through some old memorial snaps I found another few that brought a big smile of nostalgia to my face. These are some of the photos we (my friends: Gabriela, Frits and Marijke and I) took being crazy for a school assignment. It was raining all day long so we had to take these pictures inside and under a bridge (sniff, sniff). I'm still looking for more; they must be somewhere on my computer.◆
