Now, there's not a lot Audrey/Holly Golightly and I disagree upon, but that's one of them......unless she was just saying that to get Fred/Paul out of being looked down on by Tiffany's by not being able to afford diamonds....I can never decide whether or not she really meant that! Thoughts please Jenni and Shambles?
Anyway, had a pretty crap day (Mean reds) on Sunday, so of course first thing yesterday morning before work I was in my Tiffany's -Pascoes (lol) and have now got a beautiful amethyst and diamond cluster ring on layby. Liz Taylor was right: "Diamonds are the only kind of ice that keep a girl warm."
Yes, diamonds are definately better than shoes! Which as it happens, I have a good....fifth? of my shoes sitting in a washing basket waiting to be listed on TradeMe.
Rehinge your jaws please.
Yup, I finally did it...and it turns out my bedroom has a floor AND carpet! Wow!
Mind you I still didn't do that well, as my excuse for not throwing some things out is that maybe I'll need it for a costume one day, and off it goes into my now bulging costume chest - I love my costume chest, it's a huge cardboard treasure chest that my ballet teacher has used in umpteen recitals and I rescued when I heard she was going to throw it out! I am such a packrat.
So now, I need to get listing on TradeMe which is going to take forever with my antiquated Broadband, because I need some money for all the upgrading of the Fairy business which is currently taking place. My personalised plate is on it's way; I have an appointment with a gorgeous old lady who made most of my ballet costumes and still cant spell my name right, for a new fairy dress; I have purchased a webhost and domain and am currently in the process of trying to build my own website! Stop laughing! I'm using word, so it's not going to be tres flash as I had hoped it would, but i have lots of cool graphics I got from Google of flapping butterflies and glittering fairies, and since it is a kids business, I don't think it matters too much if it looks like a five year old designed it. Well, as soon as I figure how to upload, publish etc you can be the judges!
Speaking of five year olds, I have decided that it should be compulsary for people to take an intelligence test and training course before they are allowed to have sex, in case they happen to produce a child.
We had a function at work last night for a company which hired the foyer for nibbles before going down to Skycity to watch Shrek 3.
Total chaos. Children running around EVERYWHERE!
Parents today just don't seem to care! I would never have even attempted to do that when I was little. I stayed with my Mum, held her hand and waited politely while she talked to other grown up people, who were usually good enough to include me in the conversation coz I was so gosh darn cute! And I would wait until Mum gave me a piece of cake or a sandwich.
Anyway, Jase, Nat and I all had to get our Grrr faces on because these parents were doing nothing and we can't have little kiddies hooning around into our old ladies as they come out of a cinema.
I love kids. Honestly, you know I do - I'm a fairy!
I just hate parents.
Compulsary sterilisation for idiots. I totally support that.

I'm SO with you on the compulsory idiot sterilization! I wish that instead of having to take birth control pills to turn off one's fertility if one doesn't want to have kids, people wanting to have kids could take conception pills which would turn on one's fertility... and people could only get those pills if they passed a "good parenting" test.
I never used to want kids, but now I'm thinking I'm going to have to have a couple just to counteract all the morons out there who are having so many damn kids. lol.
As for the diamonds before 40 line in Breakfast at Tiffany's, I think that she was just saying that to avoid being looked down upon... after all, the character of Holly Golightly was actually based on Marilyn Monroe (I've always thought Audrey did a very good Marilyn impression in that film), and we all know Marilyn loved her diamonds!
