Wood Cat

I had the massive urge to go bowling today. I have just always wanted to make my name 3 Testicles on the board. That way the TV occasionally says "Congratulations 3 Testicles! You got a spare."
The fact I'm a girl makes it all the better <3

Lace, Lace, Lace!

This is by far my favourite thrift store find. I have opshop days in the nearby beach town and last Wednesday I found one I had never seen before! Hidden away in a back alley! Sitting on the mannequin was this dress, just calling my name, for only $5! But wait, there was competition! Standing across from me was a bogan girl with ripped jeans, scene hair and a cigarette. There was a stand off. She headed for the dress but I outsmarted her. I walked into the opshop and asked the lady to get it off the mannequin for me. Bogan girl had to watch as the lady handed the lovely floral and lace dress over to me, I smiled and ran for the changing room, jumping up and down in excitment like a special kid :)
I mean, honestly? What would she have done with it? Used it as a pillow while smoking pot? Worn it as a costume? The thought just scares me.
Its ok dress, I saved you from the bogan scene girl. Your all mine <3

Black Romper & Sex Shoes

Today I got measured and prodded by a rather sour dress maker because I had to get my prom/graduation dress taken in. The previous owner must have had quite a rack.
On my adventures I also brought a rather fantastic jumpsuit for $4.00 that I turned into a romper! My love for jumpsuits just wouldn't have saved it, sorry, but I wouldn't wear it out looking like a gangster.
OH AND OHMAIGOD
The "Best shoes ever" arrived today. They fit like a condom (because glove is way too mature) and I am so happy.

This is my new favourite summer look. In other words I have decided to be wearing it every day. I may smell like a dog rolling in mud but I will look god damn awesome in the process. Who needs hygiene when you look and smell like an eighties grandma? And, on a completely unrelated note, I am utterly sick of my computer. I am starting to beleive its made of Soviet-era Eastern European calculators held together by duck tape and semen. Stupid peice of crap. Well, umm, I am off to sit in front of the freezer in a bikini.

Dear Summer Season,

Fuck Off.

Sincerly, Tasha.

A cat's a cat and that's that

I turned up to Maths class one day to have my American teacher shove a bag of 70s maxi dresses at me! She told me she used to wear them dancing :)
Clothes are so much better with a story.

All Thrifted :)

I thought I would post some hilarious questions posted on an Australian tourism website. Basically potential tourist could post questions and the website officials answering them obviously had a great sense of humour.
Haha enjoy...

Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, how do the plants grow? (UK).

We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.

Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)

Depends how much you've been drinking.

__________________________________________________

I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks (Sweden)?

Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water.

__________________________________________________

Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK)

What did your last slave die of?

__________________________________________________

Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA)

A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not ... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.

__________________________________________________

Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)

Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.

_________________________________________________

Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK)

Why? Just use your fingers like we do.

__________________________________________________

Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA)

Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is ... oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.

__________________________________________________

Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK)

You are a British politician, right?

_________________________________________________

Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round? (Germany)

No, we are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter/gatherers.

Milk is illegal.

________________________________________________

I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)

It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of Gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

__________________________________________________

I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA)

Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.

__________________________________________________

Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is smaller than the male population? (Italy)

Yes, gay night clubs.

I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Kings Cross*. Can you help? (USA)

Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.

And here are some of my favourites!

Now I am saving up for the 4th pair (black lace up boots) hehe
