There is I suppose, one upside to this weekend, despite the pressing study I owe to myself; that being our college ball. I guess considering I'm in university I should be well and truly over balls. I mean, year 12 was the pinnacle, was it not?
Yeh, IT WASN'T.
(Honestly, I wish someone would've told me that when I was becoming so stressed out over the ball in high school. If only they had told me that it's not the be all-end all!)

Anywho, the ball is this weekend and to be honest I'm rather excited for it. Just the sheer joy of being able to dress up, look gorgeous and hang out with my friends in an over-the-top, overly garish and deccadantg setting makes me go weak at the knees.
I always tell my mum that I do believe I was born in the wrong era. Sure we have super-computers, ipods and other crazy contraptions but in reality, my ideal life would've been to have lived as a deccadent flapper of the ROARING 20's;
The dresses were amazing,
The cocktail was a must,
The men were suave and romantic,
and the women, powerful, sexy and alluring.
The flapper, especially when you imagine F.Scott Fitzgerald's depiction in The Great Gatsby, has been a major inspiration no doubt to many designers as they brought a element of frivilousness, cheek and allure to what was an arguably a very rigid society. Galliano's fall 2007 collection, undoubtedly being one of my favourite to have drawn upon such inspiration.
If only I could look like this for our ball... without having people believe I'm mad :(
In all honesty, Galliano has always been one for expressing the deccadance, excess and grandure that was the roaring 20's. He's truly made self-indulgence seem simply delightful!
Needless to say, I should stop indulging and get back to my work.
So to all a good OKTOBERFEST, and to all a GOOD NIGHT!
Don't let the hangover-bug bite...ishax
