Dressing Up With Topshop's AW09 Collection

This week I got to play around at Topshop's offices, try on the new lines, and then have my photo taken by a pro photographer.

It was, to say the least, fucking fab.

Calm Seas & A Reluctant SOS

It's amazing how calm the seas are, when you just stop to worry about yourself, and what you're doing.

Spending time with people you actually want to be around, and allowing yourself to do something for fun for once, instead of out of obligation, is even better.

I've a clean flat, have been running three times this week, have cooked, spent time drinking far too much wine and seeing people I actually like, and have hunkered down and done a lot of work.

It's amazing how much energy you can conserve when you don't spend it worrying what insignificant Cuntrags are doing. Yes. Cuntrags. 

And, despite all of my control-freakness and inability to ask for help, I'm thinking I need to bring someone on board to help me do all of the things I need to do for my little website. 

I simply cannot keep up with all of the admin work, reviews, emails, updating social networks, and going to events I have to do. 

Luckily, there's a University just down the road from where we live, so I may just have to start looking for someone who wants a bit of work experience, or an internship at BitchBuzz.

I used to laugh at people when they told me I should get an intern...but now, I think I'm actually at that point. And it makes me a little excited! For fuck sake, I need some god damn help. (I think that's what I'll put in my description for the job...)

Now if only I could hire someone to do my dishes and to remind me to bathe on a regular basis.

"Out Of Stock" & Killing Hypothetical Situations

I hate shopping. 

This might be because I am a blogger and we're globally acknowledged as being poor, poor bastards. 

But this might also be because I hate the general public and even a 5 minute  trip to the grocery makes me go all stabby. 

This is why I like shopping online. I can look at things I can't afford, without all the bullshit tourists and lollygagging-shopping types scuffing along in their Uggs and hotpants getting in my god damn way. 

But do you know what totally kills your Browser Shopping high?

Items that are sold out. 

If you're shopping IRL, you only see the item they have in stock. Sure, they may not have your size, but they never really taunt you with an item that COULD have been yours, if only you had been here a month earlier. 

But online, oh ONLINE, they show you something absolutely beautiful, and only just as you're about to put in your credit card details do they go -OH! Sorry. We don't have this. But, eh, we'll let you know when we do. Um, like, we're sorry. And stuff.
