omg. it's pink!



omg. it's pink - and i want it!!! as i was dis-interestedly flipping through a hairhouse warehouse magazine i chanced upon the exact same type of straightener that i bought almost 2 years ago (and faithfully still use today, so obviously the quality was alright, though the ceramic plates are wearing out a little bit i think ). but this one is PINK! omg! i want!


even better. it's actually the same price as my straightener was, (which is really cheap!), only $19.95.

wah~ why didn't i get that tutoring job the other day?? damnnit i could've had a pink straightener for only giving half a lesson to the girl! damn class time clashes! perhaps i shall cook dinner every thursday and friday night (had to last night) in an effort to contribute to the household chores and in return ask my parents for some money.

i want some new skinny leg jeans so i can break out all my boots, (seeing as im not wearing thermals under my jeans anymore i really do need more than one pair so i can alternate, why didnt i see ahead of time?). but i found a really nice dark grey denim pair in a cheap chinesey shop on swanston the other day and i love them. fit really nicely and look cool. silly things are $35 though. yes, that's right! im a big spender! $20 straighteners and $35 jeans. woo!

but yes, perhaps i can negotiate some sort of allowance from my parents - cos there's no way they will voluntarily fund me buying more things after china. :-( oh, but back to the pink straightener (im so like a little kid at xmas! lol) . i want!


i'm not exactly sure when it happened, cos as a child my mum always dressed me in pink (hot pink trackie pants, pale pink puffy sleeved dresses, hot pink stripey jumpers, pale pink skirts etc), so i developed a natural distaste for the colour pink.

but sometime in recent years i discovered myself quite liking certain shades of pink clothes, and various pink little trinkets, and now i find myself absolutely in love with everything pink - usually just for the ridiculous fact that it is pink!

example #1: pink kitchenware and appliances.


i saw a box of pink saucepans for sale at the KMART in Eastland about 3 weeks ago. somehow my mother wasn't at all convinced that they were necessary, but i fell in love! *sigh* can you think of anything more obscurely useless to me?

it's all very well to deck my kitchen out (not that i have one, and as everyone knows im not very into domestic things anyway, so what is the point of them?) in that gorgeously sickly shade of pink that they coat iced donuts in.

it's also the same shade as the Barbie camper van too, if you remember.

but yes, it's all very well to deck out my kitchen in this wonderful shade of girlyness, but what a deterrent for guys or pink-haters to enter my kitchen! perhaps not such a valuable buy afterall, but nevertheless...i still want!

(lol this entry is so going to turn out to be a weird version of an online xmas list of all the random things i've ever considered having).


example #2: computer, phone + electronic accessories etc.

these things basically speak for themselves. they're useful AND they're pink! want!


example #3: other random assortment of stuff that's pink and cool.







yes, im already guilty!! what follows are some example of things i have bought, purely because they were pink, rather than for their usefulness.

example #1: pink ice-skates.

yes, that's right. i bought a pair of pink ice-skates, and i specifically went searching for a pair of pink ones. i walked away from many market stalls because they only had blue or black or white or red. no! they wouldn't do! apart from perhaps a 3yo child i was going to be the only person in the uni who had a pair of pink skates...and i believe i was!


example #2: pink discman.

yes, i have a pink discman. hot pink, rather than donut pink, but pink nonetheless. and despite the fact that i did actually need a discman i bought this one over others precisely because it was pink. as a bonus i discovered it also plays the music tracks from VCDs (video cds) too. very handy, as VCDs are popular in china unlike here.


example #3: pink coat

despite already having others which are much warmer and therefore useful i had to have a pink coat. it's very sweet, and actually will probably suit Melbourne winter just fine. yay! it has a use!


example #4: pink formal dress

ok, i have a million formal dresses now all hanging beautifully in my wardrobe, but absolutely no occasion to wear any of them to! i probably have about 8 formal style dresses now. and i think i've worn maybe 2 of them. but yes, this is my pretty pink one... a stupid, but very beautiful waste of money for the time being.



but i know the obsession with pink things has gone too far when i admit that i actually really really want a pair of pink gumboots too...



.... oh why isnt it christmas??


... what's pink that you want?
