About Radio Shock Therapy
Radio Shock Therapy is Taggers and Alex, two fine members of the Sarajevo gentry, who, in their nihilistic wisdoms and smoke passages saw a world ruled by instant gratification and obtuse terrorist activity.

Horrified and aroused, they sojourned in Carthage, seeking the guidance of Bog and All His Angels and Saints, and, taking up the gun concealed within bible, they waged war upon London, and raized it to the ground, singing French folk tunes to the war drums of bridled elephants.

Realising they were onto something, they hijacked several thermonuclear devices and flew the flag of disillusionment and apathy, and took up their guitars, renouncing society and its ills.

Retreating to a cave for several years, they returned, disshevelled, bearded, slightly mad, with a brand of psychotic progressive folk rock blues, and a name that befitted their tortured and hedonistic souls.

Radio Shock Therapy. Coming to a bargain bin near you.

My Debut Deb

without comments

I am attending a Deb ball in a few months and am trying to brainstorm what to wear.

It’s not my Deb and i really don’t believe in/ agree with Debs.

But,

any excuse to dress up is FINE by me.

i found these dresses at http://www.vintageous.com/ which is an amazing website for vintage clothing.

I love the skirts on these ones. Very 1950’s.

v2615


The colours of these 3 is what I was initially attracted too. So out there/ vibrant/ exciting.


I’m a MASSIVE fan of these necklines. Also the red on the left is an amazing colour, not to mention the unique style.

But, what I really want is something with a bubble skirt. Or, lots of tulle.

My Sunday Best

without comments

Put on your Sunday clothes, there’s lots of world out there
Get out the brillantine and dime cigars
We’re gonna find adventure in the evening air

Girls in white

In a perfumed night
Where the lights are bright as the stars!
Put on your Sunday clothes, we’re gonna ride through town
In one of those new horsedrawn open cars


After I took these I realised how cool the shadows were looking today.

I had another interesting dream last night, I can’t remember much though.

There was a party and there were LOTS of M&M’s everywhere.

That’s about all I remember.

Listening to the Violent Femmes.

Brilliant.

Curiouser and Curiouser

So the other dream I was going to write about was a really strange one.

Strange/ disturbing/ scary/ bizarre/ perplexing

I dreamt once again, that I was pregnant.

And I was due.

I don’t remember being fat, but of course, in your dreams, logic doesn’t exist.

We were on St Kilda beach I think. I have only been there once so it is very vague.

And the Doctor, I think he was a doctor, told me I had to have a C-section.

I was a little freaked out but I agreed.

The next thing I know there is a baby crying.

They take my baby away and they don’t come back.

And. They forgot to sew me back up.

I can still remember the horrible/ distressing/ disturbing feeling I had as I wandered around, holding my guts in,

trying to find the doctor, and my baby.

It was the worst dream I have ever had.
