I'll get MY LUCK at the 13TH Bizarre Bazaar


There was a time when everyone at campus was suddenly sporting Raybans and my mom asked if I wanted a decent pair. I said "No way!" Why would I want shades that looks like everyone else's? My sunnies collection consisted of my dad's old heavy-duty fishing shades plus those I dugged through and chosen at garage sales. 


Now, I don't need to dig through anyone's used clothing to find  unique fashion pieces. 


I(Neither could you!) couldn't get any more luck with a shopping mission than going to the 13th Bizarre Bazaar. It's a pop-up market with the tastiest mix of upcoming and accomplished local designers, I'm assured with quality unique pieces. Their team works closely with establishments, the Sydney City Council and Art & About Sydney, making it the most up-to-date, bigwig artsy fartsy fashion community gathering to look forward to every two months - but doesn't mean I'll set aside going this time for waiting another two months. Every season offers something different!


This spring, Bizarre Bazaar brings glazing-magazines labels such as Kirsty Irwin, Faddoul, KAHLO, Sasha-Rose (Oh my, as seen in Project Runway?!) and many more. Stall after stall, one fashion dimension after another, I'll never get bored...but I will definitely get hungry. That's why it's superb
 to know Eat Art Truck will just be parked right there, ready to serve yummy, modern fusion street food - at its best. You can't go wrong with their chefs being Stuart Mcgill and Brenton Balicki - former chefs of Tetsuya's and Quay. I also definitely won't forget to check out what's the new always-fresh art is on their truck this time!


What I can't believe is the bazaar is only 4 hours long. No time for games ladies, leave the heels behind and get ready to pounce on some goodies with our sneakers!

Here's the dynamite trigger: globally rockin' Guerilla Gigs will throw in a live truck performance from indie rock quartet Little Napier.
What's a live truck performance, one may ask?
A live performance on a truck. Duh.
We got to understand this, Bizarre Bazaar never gets complicated, 
what we see is what we get.
And in this 13th Bizarre Bazaar, we will get the good stuff.
NO tricks!
NO commercialised-I-see-in-every-corner clothes!
NO unnecessary entrance fees!
NO kidding!

My Chuck Norris Makeover

There's that universal encouragement speech you'll hear to be received advice memories of politicians (and villains) from their mommas.

It goes:


"You can be anything you want to be. Why, you can be president of the United States!" 

Well, I don't want to be the president of the United States.
I want to be Chuck Norris.






OK, ok. So I gave myself a Chuck Norris makeover. (Likey-likey?)

It all began when I was talking to Filipino blogger Bella Morcen of Mamibells (Diary of a 22 Year Old Mom) last night and she was telling me to do a make-up tutorial. While I'm shy to do so and wasn't, we went through the makeover works of YouTube-celebrity MUAs. I was intrigued in how far can I challenge my face and decided to give it a go. 

Then, I was, like, stupid-evil-face mode!
I was raised sitting on my nanny's lap while my parents watched Macgyver, Die Hard(s), Terminator(s), WWF(known as WWE today) and the likes. So to me, being Chuck Norris is super duper awesome! (I considered to do Bruce Willis too) 

Everyone does Jolie, Kardashian, Beckham, Bieber, et cetera makeovers. What's up with that? Go be the REAL idols!


For the look, aside from make-up, I stuffed tissue in my jaw to lengthen my face and put scotch tape on my eyelids for the added fold. 




As one can guess, this post is as random as it could get. 
Life's like that, the way you can't predict pigeon droppings.
