Lundi-Gras, Mardi-Gras & Mecredi-Pas-Gras
But now I can make them myself, and I can provide myself with yummy pancakes whenever I wish. As me and my friends got together chez moi to celebrate Pancake Monday (or Lundi-Gras). The reason being that one of my friends, Anna, is in Bath for a few days for holiday and university examining. So, we piled into the kitchen and made pancakes from scratch on a gas oven (which they didn't really know how to use. Something called electricty is apparently now all the rage!)
I was pretty happy with the results, after the first couple of rather skinny disasters-impossible to flip over. Anna came armed with blue food colouring and made herself a 'smurf pancake'. Tasted the same, only bluey-green in colour!
On another note, my Valentine's gift to myself arrived today. A pair of New Look creamy-pinky courts that I've been mooning over since last summer-thankfully they're still in stock and lovely. I also picked up a pair of white framed sunglasses-which are whiter than you think, but for £3 were an absolute steal.
I am however loving the denim shirts. But what does one wear them with? I have a pair of brogues coming for my birthday (I hope) and it would seem that they'd go nicely. It just seems bizarre that double denim has been such a NO for so long, and now its acceptable again.
(Blogger's playing up and refusing to add pictures. Grr.)
Also, finished Extended Project plan, typed up every piece of French writing I've done and started History revision mind-maps.
Happy half-term 'holiday'

Double Standards-The Lara Stone edition
This is Lara Stone. Lara Stone who is apparently to be celebrated because she is shaped like A REAL WOMAN. And she has curves! And she got turned down from jobs for being FAT. We should all unite around her! 
Frankly, in the above image she still looks like she needs some food. I came across a more face-on image whilst flicking through Tatler a moment ago and felt compelled to write something.
Most people know that airbrushing takes place in most fashion magazines, we all know deep-down that no woman's skin glows quite so much as the women in foundation adverts and that Madonna probably does actually have wrinkles.
However, when a person is praised specifically because she is curvy and does not have the figure of models like Kate Moss it seems incredible that they can be airbrushed to look exactly the same weight as these models, just with huge breasts. And that does not equal curvaceous and normal. It makes her look like she'll over if she walks.
I'm going all out and saying that she looks more curvy in her Louis Vuitton ad campaigns than on the front of Love. Highly ironic since that magazine recently featured a nude Beth Ditto in all her glory..

PS-I do think Lara Stone is quite attractive despite her dubious taste in men and don't want anyone to see this post as spiteful, I just think fashion magazines really really need to consider their audiences properly
