Strut Songs

On the radio the other day they were discussing Strut Songs & asking listeners which song they'd pick to walk into a room.
Now as far as I know, you only need a strut song if you are a character in a movie walking in slow motion. (or a silly Sex & the City 2 scene where they walked in the desert... in heels)
But it was funny & they even played a guy's song while he walked into a board meeting, which must have been epic for that guy!
It got me thinking and if I had to choose my song a year ago - I would pick:
Maneater by Nelly Furtado.

But seeing as I am re-thinking my whole life and making different decisions... My song would be:
Titanium - David Guetta and Sia.
It inspires me & if I were gonna be walking in Slow motion in a movie (wearing Fabulous Heels) then this would be the song.

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am Titanium

Top Billing Presenter Search

Today again my colleague and I sat discussing our jobs and asking ourselves if this is really all that life has to offer.
I am afraid that life is passing me by at an alarming rate & I'm going to wake up 1 day & wish I had pursued my dreams of making something of myself, of... "sparkling"
I want a career that is exciting & challenging.
I want to inspire people and do fun things.
When I was a little girl, my mom always said I would become a model married to a millionaire.
At this stage of my life I don't think the former is possible! The latter, not likely!

But I have always loved dressing up & getting my hair & make up done and I have always harboured a secret dream of becoming a photographic model or TV something or other.

As if the Gods were listening - I see that Top Billing is doing a presenter search competition.
I immediately perked up and got butterflies in my stomach.
Could this be the thing I need to spice up my life? Is this the change I so desperately need?

Do I have what it takes to leave my comfort zone and pursue an avenue I have absolutely zero experience in?

More importantly: Do I have what it takes?

My application form is all filled out, all I need to do is press Submit....

Billboard Award Fashion Hits (& Misses)

You would think that becoming famous, your stylist would prevent you from choosing crappy outfits.
Not so for these ladies - maybe their power went out and they picked the wrong thing?

Natasha Bedingfield got swallowed by net and beads

Zoey Zoey Zoey - it's Springtime, lose the chunky tights

Miley - where did you leave your bottoms? I won't even start on that hair....

Did anyone tell Nelly Furtado that we can see black bras under white dresses?

Carly Rae Jepson  Looks like your granny's dress, trash it maybe?
Nice to see that some people still have good enough taste to glam up the evening:

Trust Taylor Swift to rule with the flowy, romantic dresses

This lilac creation is pretty - hair and makeup... a bit dodgy

Jordin Sparks has good taste in clothing. This lace is classy & classic

Using the right combination of leather & flowy  material
I do so love pretty clothes!
