Karaoke Tonight.

Okay so tonight I had planned to venture to a karaoke night in Northbridge, with some of the friends I had visited Japan with last year. Sounds like a good night you say??? Well sadly the night didn't pan out as expected. What i mean to say is...a fair few things went pear-shaped! For starters what seemed like a decent group of friends (about 12/13 people) eventually dwindled down to 5 as the hours drew closer to K-time (Karaoke Time). Now personally I didn't mind this, I mean the people who eventually showed up are awesome so it wasn't a big deal, however the events to follow were less than enthusing.

Anyway, the gang and I found ourselves at this quaint Chinese restaurant where we ordered various types of chicken, pork and duck dishes along with greens and rice, DELICIOUS NO?? well... not for me. You see, earlier this week I happened to have an appointment with my orthodontist, who to the best of my knowledge was meant to have a look-see at how my artificially straightened teeth were progressing and then let me go on my merry way, as was our usual ritual. However, it seemed that this week he decided to spice it up, by making the judgement that they were not straight enough for his liking. Consequently I now must wear a RETAINER for 3 weeks, NON-STOP... yes, a disgusting, food-collecting, painful retainer that has forced my teeth so far back into my mouth that I can no-longer eat anything that isn't pulverised into mash-form or blended into soup.... At least, that's what I found out tonight while trying to eat a mouth-watering piece of crispy duck.
This is how it went down:
-I screamed
-a young child in shock dropped his (obviously brand new) Ipad
-the waiter coming over to clear my plate lost his concentration and lets just say that chopsticks ended up rolling on the floor....
Yeap. It was a complete kerfuffle.

So eventually the comical dinner ended and whilst leaving the restaurant we decided that karaoke was no longer the go due to our teeny tiny group size. So instead made our way through Piccadilly Arcade to watch the new Adam Sandler movie...

-It wasn't on.

Eventually we decided to run in to the Toy Story 3 movie despite it starting 15mins earlier believing that there would've only been credits running.

-There were none, so we missed the start of the movie.

All in all it was actually a pretty good film. I really enjoyed the Ken doll character. I can't remember who voices him, but I know it's some guy who has a chronic drug addiction/ depression... I'm sure I read it somewhere in a magazine. Maybe the thing I liked most about him was his love of clothes. I literally jumped out of my seat when (and I don't want to give too much away) he was modelling his little heart out for Barbie. Here's just a taste of this 'groovy' character ...

Enough of Ken's cute antics, I thought I'd show you all the outfit I dragged up for my night of 'karaoke-fun' minus the karaoke!!!... with half the amount of 'fun'... but a large dose of comical irony :S

Yeah, I threw in the hair extensions for added effect. Although you can totally tell my real hair apart from it because my real hair is both naturally curly and has orangey tips- Ah, the perils of re-growth!!!! Gotta love the necklace I have though, I'm amazed I found something like it at a Diva store, although granted I did pull bits off of it and glue other things to it. In general the shape and craftsmanship is quite good compared to some of the things that surface from that place. My beloved hat is from Dangerfield - I swear it never comes off my head now and I'm developing a Bald spot on the center part where it sits on my head... not good, not good!!.... Admittedly, I still adore it though!! The glasses I'm wearing, which are a key part of my outfit (because they're so damn cute, round and unusual- unlike those 'faddy' ray-bans) are from Ice Accessories... Shocking isn't it?!! However they are over 3 years old so most stores won't stock them anymore :(

Luckily I bought about 5 pairs!!!

I've basically used all these accessories to complement my extremely simple grey lace dress and suede button-down blouse that I got from the Good Sammy's in Osbourne Park. Honestly that place is amazing for really wear-able finds that are still unusual enough to capture peoples attention! I call things like that 'Double-take' pieces.

Oh my! it's getting late, but I don't mind.

However it seems my sister does... She's telling me to stop typing so loudly and go to sleep.

Best keep the family life peaceful, I suppose.

Until we meet again...ishax
