Anyway, I think all of the events will be fun. I am staying in rad hotels & seeing good people. What’s a few hours in an airplane really? I ask you! I arks you! Ha! I can’t wait to see my momma & poppa.
YAY I just found out I am going to get drinks with David Dallas & the beautiful Leilani when I am in Auckland, good times. I am actually really looking forward to Auckland, hopefully I will get to see Timmy Crunk & Erin & Ana & Adam & Alex, & go to my favourite shops (World, Ricochet, et al), walk around Little High Street, spend exorbitant amounts of money at Unity Books (besssssst bookstore everrrrrrr), etc. & go to Rakinos! My old favourite! Yes’m!
With Nadia <3
I am Nubby’s life coach. I made her join a gym (ahem, haunted mansion), I’m trying to get her a job (I will be successful) & I’ve been force-feeding her vitamins every morning. Whipping her into shape!!!
So I just found out Kerin Rose goes to the haunted mansion too. We are going to sweat it up together… Sexy.
Yesterday I went & had lunch with my editors from ChinaShop at a fancy Thai restaurant full of blossoms in jars. I hadn’t met them before so it was rad to see that they were just as excellent as I thought they would be. We drank ginger beer with flowers in it & talked about fun new assignments & creative challenges. I’m all over it. They sent me packing with an assortment of RedBull drinks & when I got home, I saw this. Sheesh.
I got a bunch of really slutty underwear in the mail yesterday. It was so exciting. No really, you think I’m exaggerating but I am not. I am talking one-pieces with lots of straps & o-rings & pink leopard-print mesh covered in sequins (NOT EXAGGERATING THAT IS THE EXACT DESCRIPTION OF ONE OF THE THINGS I GOT), & “wicked fairy” costumes (I am going to wear it today I think even though it is a bit ~*~goth~*~ but whatever, whatever, I love it, it is cute), & fishnets & sequinned suspender belts (FOR REAL) & other silly things. I also got a package from Charlotte Russe full of cute things, like two-tone over-the-knee socks, underwear, a t-shirt with a motorcycle on it (HA!), a dress, a cute zippered sweatshirt, etc. Yay. Yay. Yay. Consumerism is fantastic. So there.
Every few months I go through an obsessive phase with Ginuwine’s Pony. I also love to listen to old P.Diddy tracks sometimes. & on Monday I made a playlist in iTunes called shitty rnb full of old favourites like Ginuwine, Ne-Yo, LL Cool J, Omarion, Bone Thugs et al.
On Monday I read half of Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running while I was getting a pedicure. It is so great. I have missed his writing, I haven’t read any of his stuff in a very long time. Anyway, if you are looking for a nice easy read, you should pick it up.

But as it stands, I stay content, trying to be the magic man, trying to pay my rent…

The joy in this post is palpable, and inspires me to be just as enthused about my own adventures ahead. That’s one thing I really, really love about your corner of the Internet!
Your travels sound very exciting! Enjoy the nice hotels ;)
Completely intrigued by haunted mansion and wicked fairy . . .
Fingers crossed for a catch-up when you’re here in the (09).
PS – yay Prince!
David Dallas! He’s a cutie and I love his rhyme style ever since you posted about him over on Icing.
P.S.
Tell him I’m single! J/K
He is a cutie! But he is not single :D His girlfriend is totally hot & rad, too, so you might be waiting a while. Hahahah.
Goodness Gala, wherever did you get that red bustier top (or perhaps it’s a dress – either way I’m in love!)? It’s amazing. And Murakami…I finished re-reading Norwegian Wood a week ago and fell in love all over again.
I’m currently in love with your life. Reading about your adventures inspires me to go on adventures in MY life. So, thank you for celebrating your life online, it’s really special :)
Also: Would it be kind of naughty to ask you to post pics of your new lingerie?? Haha!! And DAMN, that is a really nice headband. I make jewellery and fascinators and stuff, I’m launching my new collection in a few months. I might contact you about some advertising on iCing when I’ve set it all up…
But anyway, YAY for all your fun times!!
xox
Gala, agreed Ginuwine’s Pony makes me just want to get up and dance.. do love the begining,
and can you start your emails again they filled my inbox with joy instead of coupons and fluffy stuff.
Can I please have your polka dotted dress, polka dots are an obsession of mine!
Aimi, it’s the top half of this dress! http://galadarling.com/article/daily-outfit-16th-june-2009 I love it, it’s one of my favourite dresses. I was wearing it with grey knee-high socks & my Fauxbiagas ;D
Kerry, aw thanks. Hee. Okay so to address all the stuff you mentioned… The headband is from Charlotte Russe. I love it! I’d love to help you out with your headband business when it launches, get in touch. & here’s the underwear I got… No pictures of me in it because um, it is mad racy. Haha.

Hahahaha.
Lisanne, haha I love that song too. SO MUCH. Unnnnf! I would like to start my mailing list up again but at the moment I am producing so much content that I don’t know what I would possibly say, I can only write so much before I start to repeat myself! I do have an idea for another kind of mailing list, though it is kind of a big project… When it happens (& it will!) you will be the first to know!
Every few months, I get re-obsessed with “It’s raining men” by The Weathergirls. Then I wonder why it’s not my #1 obsession at all times. And then I see a shiny object and I get distracted.
almost choked on my yogurt with this: “Every few months I go through an obsessive phase with Ginuwine’s Pony.”
Holy crap, Gala. I love you. You make my day happy. That is all. XOXO
Yes! I also have “Pony” phases!! Hi5!
Well, drat! That’s ok…I’ve got my eye on a fella, but looking never hurt!
ohhhh my, i loooooooove your eyes with falsies on!! so precious!
sounds like lots of adventures, as per usual! and hot damn, that *is* some slutty lingerie! what do we have to do to get some “nightly outfit” pictures in those!? ;)
Hi there, I’m just wondering where you bought that fabulous heart necklace?! Love it, you are gorgeous!
can’t wait for the next update on THIS blog. the more interesting side of gala darling =P
I click on the lingerie links in your comment and what do I find but a girl I went to high school with modeling??
I knew she was in Playboy a few years ago but hadn’t really kept tabs on her. Crazy. This one http://www.yandy.com/-Sequined-Mesh-Triangle-Top.php
Hi Gala!
I have this photography project with a friend and I thought you might want to take a look: http://arretemoncoeur.net/
We think you’ll like it!
This is a bizarre and extraordinarily late question, but what shade and brand of lipstick is Nubby wearing? It’s breathtaking!
