devil baby birthday

our friend ray threw a halloween party at someone else's house last night. it was like 5 parties in one, but the total funness of about 10 parties. the kitchen was fun, the backyard was fun, even standing in the cue for the bathroom was pretty fun, watching someone drink dirty flower water out of a vase was also fun, and convincing a super hero wisha'be to jump in a boat full of water with his shoes on was even more fun! but its a real shame they ran out of sparklers, thats for sure. check out these lovely angel trumpet flowers lurking in the background. spoooky scary

        

        

          

        

ps. i dont really love hell, i like it just fine here. 

downtownfrombehind

i think this guy is on the way to visit me! Except I don't live in New York. Maybe he is confused.  HEY! IM OVER HERE!

i found this site today, and i really really like it - downtownfrombehind

I think the reason I really really like it so much is because i have a special talent for 

recognizing people from the back of their heads. I also have pretty good hearing.

i just like this girls outfit, she should probably be wearing a helmet though

starring chevy chase

The flower markets are a funny old place, its kinda cold, its really busy, security gaurds bust out in opera tune, you know, no big deal pavaoritti.  The other dayMylee got in an argument with a heavy duty bargainer, which resulted her being rewarded with 

free poppies. It went something like this- 

The scenario included 3 people, Heavy Duty Bargainer (HDB) Mylee (stars as her self) Flower Man (played by Chevy Chase)

HDB : Give me these for cheaper

Chevy Chase: No, they are already cheap, this pretty girl over here, she paid and didn�t try and bargain me down, already $2 a bunch!

HDB: Well I have a family, I need a bargain, she doenst have kids, give me special price!

Mylee leaps to her own defence - I DO TOO HAVE A FAMILY!

Chevy Chase gives HDB a mean look and rewards mylee with an extra bunch of poppies because she is pretty and nice.

Where are you? Are you horse shoe shopping in Pennsylvania? Are you skulling champagne with Manolo Blahnik? Karaoke'ing in Berlin? 

Sailing away with Enya?

Most happily thrilled with celestes flowerdrum inspired headwear

technicolour yawn

Heres the cross section of the midsection of my brain. Neat huh?

HAAAAANG ON

These are photos from tulip season in the nordeerrn nederlaaands. 
Over 10,000 hectares are devoted to the cultivation of these little pretties, and more than three billion tulips are grown each year here. Thats heaps.

Excuse me- did you get my technicolour yawn title? Thats what my dad calls vomiting. 
Looks like the land vomited goodness that everyone wants to put in a vase on their coffee table.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi & The Beatles plus WAGs loving some flowery decoration. 

Totes trendy transcendentalizing 

Did you notice the rose petals casually scattered on his noggin? Go back and look again, you missed it!

If you think your second cousins sister is funny looking, check this out! 

Comfortably nestled among a bucket of petals I found this double whammy rose. 

I pulled it out of the bucket and closely inspected it, not unlike the way you look through the crack in a piggy bank to see if there is enough money in there to buy a coffee. 

You know, really close up, with one eye closed so the other eye has extra inspecting power.

No one really seemed to think it was a big deal, so much so, that the market lady just told me I could have this mongoloid flower, she was like� �yeah its fairly uncommon.�

Oh yeah, fairly uncommon is it? I bought another 3 bunches of roses, and low and behold� another conjoined twin. Mylee, pass me the scalpel!

Me and my mate rasputin. Actually,  he�s not really my mate, and I don�t know his name, but I look nice.

when mars attacks

This looks like some sort of science experiment. Well I guess it kind of is. Like a decorative bug catcher, but for flowers. Its flower catcher, or a flatcher. 

Today my "flatcher" caught some singapore orchids

It really flippin hurts, but hey... its no fluff off my jumper

 M Hippy Drum whipped up a red velvet  cake a couple of days ago. 

Waldorf Astoria $400 Red velvet cake should come with a Warning !!! 

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME !!!!   

Tres messy ( or is it just me?? )  damn red food coloring.  

If you really must try it don't wear anything white or good, 

I suggest at hazmat suit, and when, not if, you get it on your hands don't

touch anything

my brother from another summer

We both have big teeth and we are very funny

She likes to make me chai with lots of honey

And we go surfing, but only when its sunny

We are wearing hippy happy headbands made by holly. Made with ivy vine from my yard, freesias, poppies, sweet william, lots of love and some pink string

hold the pepperoni my sweet peony

Holy flippin freesias batman!  

I am practically hovering above the ground with anticipation for peonies to be in season. Look at their soft little heads, i just want to bite into one. Guess I'll have to wait, fingers crossed they turn up by the end of this month. Hurry up man, IM HUNGRY!

i borrowed the picture below from Design Sponge. while i was on their site, i spotted a recipe for red velvet cake. Maybe i'll whip one of those up while im waiting for my peony sandwiches. Recipe here - Waldorf Astoria $400 Red Velvet Cake

Somehow, while I was googling peony photos, this photo popped up. How could i not share it with you. Its no red velvet cake thats for sure, but these guys look pretty darn thrilled anyway

The caption read- Looks so good... Cant wait! even though Ai said "NO", i couldn't wait to take a one bite......She gave me 5 slaps later....... she did her revenge.

Mungo Jerry

You know sometimes when you sing a song for years and years and find out you've been belting out the wrong words when you are alone in the car? That just happened to me. 

In the summer time when the weather is high

You can chase right up and touch the sky,

When the weather's fine

You got women, you got women on your mind.

Have a drink, have a drive

Go out and see what you can find.

Im not even going to tell you what i thought the words were, but in my mind that song included something about brushing your teeth and reaching up high over here and over there.

I WOULD like to bring up the last verse with you - "Have a drink, have a drive" Um, Is this mungo jerry character kidding? 

A good friend of mine Jay Quirk sent me some photos of spring day trip to some fancy 

pant secret place which looks to me like a hay fever sufferers worst nightmare.

After being my bondi neighbour for many years, he split town and now calls stockholm, 

well, holm. 

In his email to me he said; heres a little afternoon at this lovely island in sthlm in spring. And I though to my self, where the bloody hell is sthlm? so i googled it. 

Turns out its just short for Stockholm.  It was one of those moments when you think, god im an idiot, glad no one was around to see that one. 

 Kinda like when you realise you've been singing the wrong words to your favourite song.. Just like my friend in high school who used to sing along to ricky martins la vida loca, 

or as she sang it -  "Livin the midnight loafer"

Sunday purchasing

we rode down to the bike shop today because ash needed new handle grippy things, some how his old ones got all sticky... must have been eating ice blocks in the sunshine. Anyway, i was lurking around looking at bike baskets and i spotted these fantastic streamers for my BIKE! I love them. I even think that i must have secretly hated my bike until i got my hand(les) on these little numbers. Im going to go so fast now. Heres a photo of me pre zooom zoooooooom. Theres another photo, but you cant really see me because im actually going TOO fast so im not going to bother showing you.
