DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!

Hmm. Despite the selection process of this thing being full of inaccuracies, I'm prepared to forgive it because of the faces it brought up to match mine. Scarlett Johanssen 96%?!! I'm feeling gorgeous right now, LMAO....

Holiday Piccies!

We took around 250 great photographs but here are just a couple of fun ones for you. Hope you like =)

DSC02557 New York New York. Hmm.


DSC02565  You've got to love a place called Hooters.

DSC02595  Me with flamingos in our hotel garden.

DSC02629 Me in the Beatles hall thing in a mall. The Mirage maybe? 

DSC02708 One of Liberace's costumes. Oh. My. God. I loved his stuff. 

DSC02694 In front of a life-size cardboard stand-up in the Liberace souvenier shop. I wanted to buy one but couldn't figure out a way of getting it home without damaging it. And I had an enormous wig to think about. I bought a Liberace cookbook instead. I was well impressed with the Cream Puffs.

DSC02775 My hand in Marilyn's. I was gutted that Greta didn't leave a hand-print. She just had a star on the walk.

 DSC02766 Oh, oh, I love her so!

DSC02818 Blondie's (Well, 3 of 'em, anyway...) plaque on the Rock Walk of Fame. Debbie Harry has a short palm. And funny fingers.

 DSC02802 This is Garf and that in the background is the Hollywood sign. We couldn't be arsed to get any closer to it. 

DSC02843 The greatest wig I've ever owned. I bought because I'm digging Marie Antoinette at the moment, although I think perhaps I look a little Lily Savage-esque in it...
The woman who made this can make ANYTHING! I suggested to her she should make Rocky Horror wigs. I'll be the first to start spreading the word if she does! =) This wig caused me no end of hassle getting it onto the plane etc without squashing it. (And the worry of Customs meanies picking it apart and checking for drugs gave me a fucking migraine!!)

Over and out for now... XXX

"It's So Fucking Wonderful They Sold You Out..."

That's cool by me  With thanks to undergroundillusion for bringing this cute quiz to my attention. (I can't view your page, btw... I can only see what you've posted via daily digests. Not sure why?)

Thanks for your comment Nikki... I'm gonna get some piccies up in the next few hours =)

Hollywood Sucks

So we got back to wonderful England this morning. We couldn't sleep on the plane, nodded off this afternoon and we are now awake and probably will be until 6am. Aah, jet-lag. It's like working nights...

So, Las Vegas! Highlights of the holiday: 1. The Liberace Museum! It was bloody brilliant. 2. Going to Hollywood and finding the Blondie plaque on the Rock Walk of Fame. 3. The Bellagio fountains. 4. The tacky-but-brilliant 'Story of Atlantis' theatrical statues in the mall at Caesar's Palace. 5. The Cheesecake Factory. 6. The beautiful Angelina Jolie-esque woman who walked by us on Sunset Boulevard and said "You guys look so beautiful together!" to me and Garf. Aww! 7. Collecting a wig I won on Ebay. It's a fucking amazing Marie Antoinette number. 8. Seeing Tom Jones live at the MGM! I don't like the sitting-around-tables set-up though. I'm a mosh-pit girl through and through, although I don't suppose old Tom ever saw much mosh-pit action, LOL. I didn't through my knickers at him. I was concerned that they'd land in someone's cocktail...

During our stay we drove through the desert to LA, where we spent a couple of days. Hollywood is a shithole. I'm serious. The Walk of Fame bit is fun, but really, the place is a dive and full of shit souvenier shops. Beverly Hills, Studio City and other nice (expensive) bits of LA are alright, but utterly lacking in soul. I wouldn't live anywhere but London. We also drove out to the Hoover Dam which was alright. We couldn't do the Grand Canyon beacuse we just didn't have enough time.

I have definitely gained a few pounds while on holiday, despite very consciously trying to eat normally. There is no sense of portion control over there and everything is saturated in greasy cheese, greasy dressings and syrup. At one restaurant I ordered a starter and a main meal - and I couldn't get past the starter. It was enormous. I was also overwhelmed by the amount of fucking junk food everywhere. At one point I was so desperate for something pure and simple, I ordered just a side salad for a main meal, and got a very odd look from our waiter when I turned down any dressings.

Overall, Vegas was fun. We had a good holiday and it was nice to get away. However, unless you happen to be a bit of a gambler or have never been to a casino and consequently regard the whole scene as an exciting novelty, then seriously, I'd give it a miss. Having worked in a casino for almost 7 years and despised every second, Vegas probably wasn't a good choice for a holiday. And I hate all the phoney 'Hi, how are you? Do you need help finding anything? Have a nice day!' crap every time you walk into a shop. I resent being badgered by shop assistants - and it was inescapable. Personally, I'd rather be ignored by surly British shop assistants any day. But, as I said, it was nice to get away and we did have a jolly nice break. But I won't be rushing back. I'll post some photos soon.

And they make a shit cup of tea.
