TV Shows || RuPaul's Drag Race

I stumbled upon RuPaul's Drag Race through Tumblr (how would I else ;)). When I used to think of drag queens, I would think about some ratchet men with some cheap wigs and some eye shadow on. How ignorant right?

The first thing I found was a gif of Willam saying something really sassy, and I was a bit confused because I was under the impression that I was looking at a beautiful funny woman. So I started researching more and found out that Willam was from RPDR season 4. I started watching the show and I was hooked!

I never knew drag queens could be this talented. They dance, they sing, they act, they sow, they do stand up and sometimes all those things at the same time! With make up painted on perfectly and the most natural lace-front wigs looking really fishy (feminine)!

But you have so many types of drag, it's not only the feminine queens that become successful! Season six starred with a queen that rocked beards, pregnant bellies and Pinocchio noses (all hail Queen Milk, am I right?!), a NY club kid queen that rocked another head (ornacia!) on top of hers, and a spikey body suit!

The top three were: Adore Delano, Bianca Del Rio and Courntey Act. A young punkey Queen, A comedy seasoned Queen and an Australian superstar!

I loved them all but Bianca stood out for me, she was always on top of her game and it paid off because she won!

And remember: you are born naked, and the rest is drag!

Lots of love,

Apps || Depop

I've always loved bargains. I love getting amazing clothing items on sale and making outfits out of them. I'm also a fan of second hand clothing, it doesn't sound as glamorous as when people call it "vintage" but to be honest: who cares what you call it, they're cheap clothes that still look amazing!

I recently watched a vlog that Rhiannon made about an app called Depop. This is an app where you can buy and sell items that you don't use anymore. You just snap a picture of the item you want to sell and it'll appear in your followers timeline. And the cool thing is: you can buy stuff from bloggers like The Blonde Salad and more! 

I'm not selling anything yet, but be sure to check out my account and I'll be checking yours out as well. I'm always looking for fun stuff to buy and maybe to sell in the future. 

Lots of love,

Music || 8tracks

Everybody knows I love music, and I love discovering new music. I love playlists with songs I absolutely adore. What I don't like is knowing which song comes next. Maybe it's just me, a weird tick or something. I hate having pattern in my playlists, that's why I always have my shuffle on.

I used to own this old shitty MP3 player, you couldn't see which song came next, and you didn't have a shuffle option. And I used to listen to it a lot, so my brain always knew which song came next. Till this day I still catch myself anticipating a song that used to be next on my old playlist.

I recently discovered 8tracks, and I think it's absolutely brilliant with a tiny bit of annoyance with it. I discovered so many great artists and songs through 8tracks. The annoying part is: you can't go back to a song and you have a limited number you can skip. I love the element of surprise, I love not knowing what comes next. Am I the only one that thinks like this? Maybe I'm just really weird.

I'm listening to this playlist right now:

Did you know 8tracks before this? And what is your favorite playlist on there? 

Lots of love,

Life update || rambling on about everything and nothing

It's been a long, long time. And I've tried blogging, I really did. You should see my drafts, I have the weirdest ideas and when I start writing them they don't seem that interesting anymore. So what about a life update?

My last blog was about my make up addiction, which I still do have. But I'm okay with it now. And I'm still a mess at handling money, which I still find terrible. Nothing much changed, right? Well, I cut my hair? If that counts. It's already a bit longer (I'm so bad at this blogging thing, oops). I cut out the ombre and styled it a bit with layers, I'm already in for something new. Anybody have any suggestions?

I've started out a new internship at a place called Spotzter.nl. It's an inspiration platform for anything special. Want to eat at a special restaurant? Need a really interesting gift shop? Want to go to a festival nobody has heard of yet? Spotzter is the place to find all that.
I really like it here, I like exploring and finding out special places.

I think 2014 is the year of concerts and changes. In the last month and a half I went to The 1975 ánd Panic! At The Disco. Both gigs were soooo good! I'm in love with both bands and I had the time of my life with my friends.

The 1975 was in Amsterdam at the Paradiso. It was a gorgeous venue, with a really cool ambiance. Because I'm really tiny I didn't want to stand in the crowd and see nothing of the boys. So we stood in the balcony, which was really cool because we could see literally everything and dance freely without people bumping into you. And the best thing was: Matty Healy (lead of The 1975) actually waved up at me a couple of times. He probably wouldn't remember that right now, but I do.

Panic! At The Disco was two weeks ago in Tilburg at the 013. One word: amazing. They were really good, they played old and new songs. Brendon Urie's voice is everything to me. The light show was stunning and complimented the feel of the music perfectly. The venue felt like a small arena, with the wide stairs going down to the stage.

I've started the 100 happy days challenge on Instagram, everyday I have to find something that makes me happy for the day. It sounds easier than it actually is, but I've learned that you can find happiness in the smallest things. I'm super cliche, I know. So check out my instagram to see what makes me happy, and maybe start the challenge yourself!

Well, I'll probably blog again in 3 years? If I'm lucky. Ha, no but really. I'll try to blog regularly.

What were the main events that happened to you in the past months? What are you looking forward to doing?

Lots of love,
Lamyae
