Leighton Meester, just stop it.

23 May

Can someone explain it to me?

What is it about this dark-eyed, chocolate-locked beauty that has me in such a spin?

She’s gorgeous, talented and seriously knows how to rock what her mama gave her. (From her prison cell? That’s another blog, dedicated to mama Meester and her naughty ways.)

There’s a common misconception that beauty is found in dark-haired, green-eyed girls, or blonde-haired, blue-eyed ladies. Why? Because their looks are different and unusual – not at all common. Hullo. Ask Hugh Hef down at the mansion what exotic means – because a brown-haired, chocolate-eyed girl with natural breasts is about as common a sighting as the Loch Ness Monster down in those parts. Blonde hair and blue eyes is about as exotic as a pigeon.

I’m not just coming at you all guns blazing as a scarred brown-eyed girl, I happen to think that dark eyes and matching locks can be just as beautiful than coloured features – perhaps even more so. Hello check out exhibit (a above – and Van Morrison’s dedicated song to the cause – Brown-eyed girl.)

I don’t know, maybe it’s the sunkisses ends and the caramel swirls in her hair, or her flawless skin and subtle pink-tinted lips, but I think my girl LM is a style muse in the making. Hands up if you’re suffering from one heck of a girl crush too.

Yeah, I thought so – all of you.

The first Port of call.

1 May

Image

If you haven’t been hiding under a rock for the past few weeks, you’d know that The City star Whitney Port has hit Sydney’s shores. She’s here to promote her clothing lines Whitney Eve and WE by Whitney Eve - that are set to hit the catwalk at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia.

Port, or LC’s second-in-charge, has been the centre of MBFWA’s hype since news of her arrival hit the press. She’s the American highlight we’ve been missing in previous years – and her association to style, both through Lauren Conrad and through her own labels has made her quite the headline-snatcher at this year’s Fashion Week event.

But what has caught my attention more than the new season shades in her clothing line? The fact that I’ve heard whispers about a possible nose job on Port’s part. Woah – shocking Olivia. A Hollywood celebrity getting a nose job? Unheard of.

Okay you smarty pants. I get that I sound kind of silly. But you haven’t seen the before shot that everyone is pinning on Port – swearing on their favourite sandals and sling-backs that the girl in the below image is of course one Whitney Port.

Image

I can’t make up my mind on the matter. So NQCers – you tell me. Is this wavy-haired, green-bloused woman The City’s own skyscraper-high pinned Whitney Port?

No hate around these parts mind you. But it’s annoying me more than the fact that Jessica Simpson seems to be 13 months pregnant with a football team.

Do you think these women are both Whitney Port? 

Do you think Jessica Simpson has been frozen in time?

Seriously, why is she still pregnant?

Well I’ll be damned…

17 Apr

It takes something pretty phenomenal to floor me. Not to seem elitist, but I’ve just seen way too much rubbish on the net to actually be inspired to blog about things often.

Snooki becoming a mother? Nope, that didn’t do it…

Jessica Simpson’s alien-sized baby bump. Mmmm that almost did it (seriously, how is she that fucking huge and not broken?)

Lady Gaga walking the red carpet with nude lips and a demure white shift dress? Yeah, that’d do it.

But when I saw the above clip of a Tupac’s hologram performing at Coachella, I was stunned.

When I first heard that a hologram of Tupac had taken the stage at Coachella, I was positive it would be some embarrassing attempt to stun the crowd. Video footage designed to set the social media world abuzz.

What we got was so much more, real. A spine-tingler if  I ever did see one. An experience I wish I had of forked out the cash to witness.

The legend. Could he still be alive?

It actually looks as though Tupac has taken the stage. It’s eery to watch. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up – and the effect was only worsened when Snoop Dogg took the stage to perform ‘Gangsta party.’ (Gee, two mentions of Snoop in as many posts – who do I think I am? Some kind of Thug Mansion resident?)

I think you’ll have to pick your jaw up from the floor peeps.

What is the coolest thing you’ve seen recently?

Do you think Tupac’s still alive?

Are you wondering how you’ve suddenly left NQC and landed on Lequisha’s blog?

They call you Snoop Dogg.

12 Apr

Okay so you may not be a rapper.

You may not sport pigtailed dreads.

… and you may not be a black dude. Or you might, whatever.

I nicked the above image of Snoop because hey, I wanted to lighten the mood surrounding this whole ‘snooping’ malarky. It’s becoming a bit of an issue you know.

After a quick natter with a few good girlfriends on the subject, I was really interested to hear when and where is a good time for such breaches of privacy to occur. I must say, I was somewhat surprised by the results.

One girl said that she only did it in the very beginning of a fling with a new fella, you know, before the ‘exclusive’ chat had come around. She claimed that for reasons relating to cleanliness and her having no desire to contract Chlamydia, she wanted to know if he was hitting up any other girls – and this was a way for her to find out without seeming vulnerable so early on in the dalliance.

Another girlfriend said that occasionally she has a peep through her man’s phone, just like she’s performing a bi-monthly general upkeep to make sure he’s behaving himself. I don’t really know why there’s a need.

One thing I have learned from my experience with couples that snoop – is that that integral level of trust is missing. Obviously – I’m not trying to pull conclusions from the toilet here, but when the trust is that bad, that you don’t think it can be solved with a conversation, odds are there is something to be worried about.

Girls especially have a handy little weapon up our sleeves – it’s called women’s intuition – and in my experience, if you think there’s something worth finding out about, that is, if you feel the need to go snooping for something, odds are, there’s something to find.

Then there’s little old me. I feel like I should probably divulge my own snooping sins while I sit here coaching you on the ins and outs of such a treacherous activity. I’m not proud to admit that I’m guilty of snooping – just one time. I didn’t want to, I even felt sick for most of the time, scrolling through, reading words that were never intended for my eyes. What I can confirm is that I found exactly what I was looking for that night, and most of the time when you go for a snoop – you do.

Not a great article to put an end to privacy-busting activity is it?

Fo shizl ma nizl.

Have you been guilty of snooping?

Did you find exactly what you were looking for?

Did you get busted snooping? That would SUCK.

The Exit Strategy.

2 Apr

Ladies. It’s time we sat down and talked about it.

Oh don’t be coy with me. You know exactly what I’m talking about.

If your man hasn’t brought it up in the bedroom already, then your girlfriends have definitely shared their horror stories with you. Shudder.

If you haven’t cottoned on by now, I’m talking about taking the back door, you know, the bootyhole bump – aka, the ultimate form of birth control.

I don’t know what it is, but men everywhere are obsessed with the idea of getting a piece of that action. Okay, well I do kind of get it, what with the size and all – penis’ all over the place are crazy keen to get up in there. But for girls? It’s not all that appealing.

Why you ask? Well, for starters it’s an erogenous zone for the fellas – not for us. Taking the size struggle out of the equation I’m not saying it definitely won’t feel good (I’m not exactly an authority on the matter), you may find it does after a while, but it must be noted – there can be consequences, like with any sexual act.

The skin in that area is thin, and more prone to tearing (so protection is a must - even though you can’t get pregnant that way). You better believe that a baby doesn’t look so bad when you’ve got a nasty STD on your hands – just sayin’.

Besides that, that area of us isn’t naturally lubricated, so it can be a lot more uncomfortable when his love sausage takes a wander down south and around the corner if you know what I’m saying. So make sure you lube up, or fear ending up like a girlfriend of mine, who kissed the floor when she finally saw a #2 appear – after a week.

Of course, a lot of girls take their boy’s interest in the more untraditional form of intercourse as a sign that he doesn’t think you’re tight enough, vaginally. Let me say that in most cases, that just isn’t true. Boys always want to up the stakes a little, it all falls under the guys need to explore and conquer – so don’t take it personally.

If you are a little worried though, take part in kegal exercises. You know, the little exercises girls can do all throughout the day (even when you’re sitting at your desk) to ensure that those interior muscles tighten right up. Follow my lead with 100 a day – you know, just to stay on top of your game.

But girls. Keep in mind, the booty bump is an add-on, not an essential. If you and your partner both agree it’s something you’d like to try, take it slow. Work up to it, and indulge in a little (or a lot of) foreplay first. This isn’t the type of thing you can just jump into – so ensure you’re both comfortable and willing participants before you take the plunge (pardon the pun) and fellas? Please note that when you accidently ‘slip’ up there during regular intercourse, please keep in mind that we are totally aware that nine times out of 10 that was not an accident – and you’re just trying your luck. That is not the exit strategy that will get you what you want – trust me on that. Surprise is not your friend in matters such as these – so be smart – you cheeky little love monkeys.

Time bomb love.

22 Mar

I don’t know how you can look at me now?

It’s been 10 days since my last confession. Erm, blog…

I feel a bit like this kitty here. Ashamed, unable to determine whether you’ll be able to look at me, scared for our future together.

But in addition to all of these things, I guess I can’t figure out why I’ve been coming up empty in the old ‘relationship whine tank’, or maybe I’m just feeling pretty content. People around me are settling down, we’ve thrown out the rubbish ‘in a shit-friend’ kind of regard and life just seems kind of well… peachy.

I do have one wee gripe (you know there’s always going to be one, right?), and it’s with timing – and things happening to you at the worst possible time, ever.


I have two very good girlfriends, each who are going away very soon – who have both found a guy – scratch that, a great guy in which to froth over. Things have gone full speed ahead, with no real signs of slowing down.

These respective trips have been planned for a long time. The girls have had their hearts set on saying bon voyage to this place for a while now, but all of that is kind of seeming a little less appealing when it means leaving the new boy behind, go figure.

Tell me, how can girls go months, even years without finding a guy worth their weight in Jean Paul Gaultier, and then all of sudden – almost as soon as the flights are booked – fall right into the lap of a tall, dark and often handsome fella who pretty much gets his broom on – and sweeps her off her feet.

Fuck. Talk about bad timing.

So, I ask you – what’s a girl to do? I for one certainly wouldn’t change up my trip for the sake of a fella. That may be a little on the cynical side, but I know that if I stayed, I’d end up resenting him – and it just wouldn’t be fair.

But then, are we supposed to give up on the chance of something positively amazeballs happening? And end up the sorry loser with a camera full of memories and not much else when we return?

It’s what you’d call a stickler my friends, and it’s one that I definitely don’t want landing in my lap.

What do you think? Follow your heart? Or follow the passenger call?

When does playing the asshole card work?

12 Mar

I don’t know how many of you have had the strange delight of tuning into Geordie Shore over the last year or so, but those who have must know how much you seriously have to brush up on your hearing and open your mind – you literally can’t understand a word they say (it’s amazing.)

They’re the Newcastle pick of the litter, who have been cooped up now for the second time in a party pad with too much booze, too few beds and no rules, with outstanding consequences. They’ve made ‘banging’ and ‘let’s get mortal’ household terms, and have even brought issues like thrush to the table when Vicki described new girl Becca as  ”so annoying… she’s like trush.” But really it sounded more like, “she’s su annoyin’… she’s like throosh.” (hehe)

Now I’m not normally into these kind of lame, totally predictable reality series (hey Jersey Shore, get off our screens already!), but Geordie Shore really hit the mark for me – and many, many others.

What’s more amazing than the crazy terminology, and the endless desire to get wasted and bed hop, is the vulnerability of all of the characters and experiencing their way of life. Take Gaz for example – his little opening one liner in the beginning of the show is, “I should have a degree in pulling women.” Funny I agree – but the best part is he actually believes it – and he should.

The guys gets whatever he wants. And hey sure, he’s good looking and all, but he’s so into himself you couldn’t even be sure he wasn’t thinking of himself when you were playing tonsil hockey with him in a club. Now for me, total turn off – no questions asked, but for the Newcastle crew, the similarities to Jersey Shore are a little too identical. The girls are actually into guys who are more into themselves than anyone else. Lads who like the gym, a tan and a chest wax – guys that seem like they’re from a different planet to the boys I know.

I just don’t get it. Looks-wise yeah okay, Gaz and the other guys in the Geordie house are hot (with the exception of Jay – his waxed brows are more manicured than mine, and I’m in beauty for fucks sake!) but why can Gary act like a dickhead, sleep with housemate Charlotte over and over and then still pick up other girls, or ‘worldies’ (good-looking, out-of-this-world girls), and get away with it? The mind, it boggles I tells ya.

It got me to thinking about guys in general. Why does playing the asshole card work? Why do we as girls, love a little bit of that. I bet you’re sitting there shaking your head insisting that you like to be treated with respect and like a princess, and I just want to say ‘woah lady, just hear me out, yeah?’ I’m not saying you want to be treated like rubbish by your dude, all i’m saying is that we as females, like to be involved in the chase a little. To save the bad guy and be the one who turns him good. It’s a fantasy for some girls, a way to earn his respect and win him over, while the good guys suffer by the wayside.

Seems pretty stupid, doesn’t it?

I have a guy friend, let’s call him Bert – who is one of the nicest guys I know. He’s successful, down-to-earth and really funny, but he treats his potential conquests like dirt. Literally like they’re nor worth the gum on his shoe. I was appalled, naturally – and he explained that he didn’t really know why, but it just worked. He wasn’t ever ‘mean’ to them as such, but he just always seemed aloof and uninterested, which seemed to make them try harder.

It’s kind of like what I like to call the ‘turntable dynamic’, you always want to be the one on top, and when the tables turn and you’re left flailing, wondering how he got the upper hand, you work harder to get it back, because everyone secretly wants to be in control – the one that’s less into the other person, it takes the vulnerability away from you and shoves it over to him – and that’s why we’re so responsive when we feel like we’ve lost the upper hand. The desire to turn the tables takes over – and it becomes a mission in itself to change things.

It’s not because we like being treated like a fresh piece of dog poop.

So Charlotte, don’t feel bad if Gaz acts like a twat – the truth is if he was a nice guy who serenaded you with flowers and a mix tape and cried while you made love, you’d swap his ass for a dickhead with a bad tan and an unhealthy obsession with his own reflection anyway. So yeah – good luck!

Do you seem to be into the assholes?

Do you think girls crave affection from the ones they’re least likely to get it from?

Who do you think is a bigger twat, Charlotte or Gaz?
