I’m planning to vist my origins in Laos in January. It seems to be a long way off but that has not stopped me from reading up as much as I can about Laos. The following images I have found via flickr so that I can wet my excitement until I actually DO visit this amazing country.

I just love this photos of Scarlett Johansson because they portray Scarlet in a different light – rather than the sexed up temptress. A couple of days ago I had a dream that she was my flatmate and we got along like fire. She was down to earth, and all she wanted to do was have fun and play dress ups. Weird, I wonder if she is like that in person.

Here a few of my favourite American Apparel ads throughout the years. There’s always something fresh and cheeky about these ads. I also love the fact that they use real women rather than perfect models. The beauty is in the imperfection. Enjoy! Check some more out here.

Amazing collection of typography portraits. Here are a few of my favs. Check out the full list.

Dan’s whimsical creatures are of another worldly level. Sad, yet faintly cute and naive, they are both wonderful yet haunting. More of his work here.

This is why you should judge a book by its cover! The full list is available here.

Favourites from a list compiled by Smashing Magazine. Definite recommendation to check the whole list out!

Here are some of the pics that I have take with my Iphone. They have gone through various photo apps like CameraBag and ToyCamera. I also have my eyes on the new updated QuadCamera which is now ready for the 3.0 software. These photos are very lomo, crappy camera-esque.

Driving down Foveux st in Surry Hills. I felt like we were heading on a stairway to heaven.

One of the many side sreets in Newtown. Even though it is a narrow street, they are always packed with cars. Thats the urbanised beauty of Newtown.

Nepalese Kitchen in Surry Hills. Quite a small restaurant but beautifully laid out.

View from my balcony in Newtown, just before sunset.

Following from the sunset pic above. The colours of the sky, very very beautiful.

One of the many trees in Centennial Park

Lunch in Walsh Bay, a rich port overlooking expensive boats.

The haze on Oxford St. Party central, yet disturbing.

Old room in Marrickville, building was quite old.

Pupsit, one of the designer toy that my boyfriend likes to buy me.
