Creative Coffee !



I found this amazing tumbler in Starbucks!

I needed a good tumbler to carry with me so I can drink my Green Tea on the go
and this one is perfect. The insert inside the tumbler can be turned into a collage
made by me featuring any themes I want! Eeeek!
I get to be creative and design my perfect tumbler! How exciting!
I shall post another blog when I have finished decorating my tumbler!
Thank you Starbucks!

Ok... so I had to end my silence sometime...

Long Live the King
of Pop

Ok.

This is strange. I have no words. I am literally speechless.

I have a home movie of my 3rd Christmas where I was given a heart-shaped Michael Jackson pillow and numerous postcards of him which I collected. My 3rd birthday movie has 'Bad' playing on record all through my party and I attempt a moonwalk which of course was just me walking backwards. Throughout the years I collected the dolls, the music, the movies and have loved and supported Michael Jackson through everything, a true fan to the end. I was devasted when I couldn't afford a ticket for his comeback tour and all my friends could... but that was nothing to sadness I would feel when I descovered he had died.


I remember when Princess Diana died and the world was in shock and mourning. I wrote a speech about her in my english class and had to read it in assembly whilst Elton John's 'Candle in the Wind' played in the background, everyone cried.
Diana was a beautiful person in everyway possible and it was deeply saddening but at the age of 11 I could not understand why everyone was so devasted to the point of tears and such grief.


Now I understand.
I have never met the legend that is MJ. I have never had the privilege to witness the King of Pop in concert. I don't have an enourmous collection of memorabilia like my friend does... but I still feel as though something is missing. I feel empty, I can't seem to accept the truth, it's like someone I know has died. I think Michael Jackson has touched so many people to the point where we do feel as though we know him, we feel a deep loss.


I really don't have anything more to say. I know this is not very good English or particularly well written but... I just can't think about it all right now. I wanted to post a blog as soon as I heard but I've been putting it off... I don't have the words to say anything worthy.


We love you forever Michael.
Gone, but never, ever forgotten.


Sad cupcakes...

Murder Most Fab

Murder Most Fab
By Julian Clary

I buy books far faster than I can ever read them and I read A LOT.
Whenever I have a few spare pennies lying around, which believe me is not often, my mind instantly wanders to which book I should buy next. One sunny day, whilst perusing the book isle in my local Asda, a certain book practically threw itself off the shelf and into my hands, ok so maybe I am exaggerating a teeny, tiny smidge but you get the point. After eyeing up the super bright and gorgeously camp front cover of 'Murder Most Fab' I had no choice but to march straight to the till and hand over my cash. I was equally curious to discover just what the delightful Julian Clary was like as an author and I have to say I was not at all disappointed.
'Murder Most Fab' is the dark comedic story of Johnny Debonair, a country boy from Kent who finds himself in the big, bad world that is London. It documents how he climbed his way to the top and became known as 'Mr. Friday Night', a huge TV star and then, of course, how his shaded past catches up with him and drags him back down to nothing.

Glamour, sex and murder - it is a compelling read. Julian Clary is an amazing writer and I couldn't help but be impressed. People have said the story is maybe a little over-the-top and outrageous but when you read the story you can understand and believe how easy it could be to do what Johnny does, what some people will do for fame... and love.
The title obviously lets us in on the fact that there is a murder in the story and I did feel like I was waiting for it to happen for the first half of the book. Every new character that appeared trigged my thoughts again as to who it would be that has this fate awaiting them. However, I still shocked by the murders and the how's and why's behind them. Not what I was expecting at all and I must say that I truly adored every second of this book. It's difficult not to fall in love with Johnny and empathise with his struggles. Anyone who has experienced performing arts will also recognise many of the characters in this book, the people never change.

Like any good book 'Murder Most Fab' had me laughing out loud, feeling a little sad and tearful, excited and desperate for more by the last page, I had to know what happened next. But that shall never happen.

Within a few short days the book was finished and now I want to rave about it and let everyone else know how amazing it was. Head out and buy it right now!

Love Always
