Rant.

So. These days girls grow up surrounded by media suggesting that they have two options in life. They can grow up to be glamorous, fun and sexy...but ultimately stupid and destined to pursue a career in something frivolous. OR they can be serious, f'ugly and be successful in an esteemed profession.

I know this is a huge generalisation, and there are loads of hot lassies (yeah - I'm Scottish now 0_0) who are successful in law, politics, civil service etc - but we need some in the public eye. Name one sexy, stylish female politician...? Bet you can't.



AND - I'm not talking about attractive brunnettes who wear glasses and slightly tight but still dowdy skirt suits either. You know the types who get captioned with that horrendously pattronising phrase "thinking man's crumpet." Blergh.

Lets get a female triple threat out there. Sexy, powerful and smart as hell. Apply within.

Peace Out.

Passion, Pain, Pleasure

As much as I have developed inappropriately deep feelings towards this man over the last couple of years...and, as much as he has got me through rather a few cold, lonely nights...and, as much as I find this extremely upsetting.... I have to admit  - I'm just not impressed with his latest offering. 0_0

Mr Songz has the right idea in getting woman-of-the-moment Nicki Minaj to feature on the album's first single "Bottoms Up." However, he is completely overshadowed by her brilliance. It's not a bad effort, but there is something about the video which is slightly uncomfortable...he seems to spend the whole time avoiding dancing. If you can't move and your club tracks are average, then there is simply no point competing with the likes of Neyo or Usher, or God forbid even Jason Derulo 0_0.

My three faves are "Can't be Friends" "Please Return My Call" and "Made To Be Together" - These songs are Trey in his element. Dripping with emotion, and showing off his superb vocal range they represent why he has had such staying power and why he is the best at what he does best. But - as good as these songs are - I see no evidence that he has grown or improved since "Ready."

Despite it's mediocrity, however, all is not lost as there will be plenty of loyal fans who will ensure decent sales for Mr Songz and plenty demand for another album. Yet, this was such an important release, and it seems so rushed. Shame.

Gonna play it non-stop though....sorry flatmates.

Peace out.

Are you having a Bubble?

Soooo, the summer is over, the tiny patter of prada feet can be heard around St. Andrews.... and the students are well and truly back 0_0.  I consider myself a local now (I lived and worked here over the summer) therefore I am allowed to resent this fact, and I can legitimately roll my eyes at the queues in Tescos/Starbucks etc.


Over the summer I worked at New Hall, and some crazy person let me reinvent the coffee shop there. So, if I'm honest this post is a shameless plug. Here are 10 reasons why you should come to New Hall, and change where you get your morning coffee.....


(1) It's called "the bubble"


(2) The take away cups are AWESOME.



(3) The prices are cheaper than town AND it's fresh and fair trade every time!


(4) The food/cakes etc are delicious, and again are cheaper than town :)

(5) Christine and Corrine - these fabulous ladies will give you customer service like no where else. By your third visit they will know your coffee preference, name, birthday and shoe size. They aim to please!


(6) If you have lectures in the North Haugh, (or live in Andrew Melville or New Hall (obvs)) it is unbelievably close and convenient. 


(7) THERE IS SKY TV!!! - For all those who can't be arsed with the pretence of reading the guardian in Starbucks.


(8) Variety - With dozens of different syrups there are countless options when it comes to coffee at "the bubble."


(9) Privacy...Coffee dates are the norm in St Andrews. But, being such a small town, how likely is it that someone you know will walk past the window? Embarrassing. Come to "the bubble" and have that awkward first sober meeting without your ex walking past with their shopping. 


(10) Get a cute bubble themed loyalty card and get your eighth coffee free! Find me quick enough and I might be able to give you with a few stamps already....

So go on, get going. 




Peace out.
