I was getting a bit tired of Lady Gaga and her eccentricities to be honest....then lo and behold I saw this interview with her and Paul O'Grady and I fell in love with her again. Shes so adorable. I love her she refuses to work with big names in the industry, saying she wants to keep her creativity her own. LOVE!

I posted this a few days ago in another blog I have but I'd like to know what anyone thinks here too.
Do you believe that asking someone if they are married is a valid, perfectly acceptable question to ask someone when meeting them for the first time? To be honest, I don't. I feel it's a bit personal for first time/introductory questions.
A few nights ago I got to meet this new guy who is around the same age as me etc. One of the questions he asked me was if I was married. I replied no, to which I got an 'oh'. Then I was *told* "SO, you must have a girlfriend, right?" to which I replied "no". Cue awkwardness and me telling this telling this random guy it's actually because I live with my boyfriend. Not that I mind telling people. I'm not exactly in the closet. It's just that I could see in his face and reaction to my first answer how he had already judged me. by the second response, I already felt awkward and judged and by the third I simply wanted to get out of there.
I don't think it's right to ask someone that question when you meet them for the first time - unless you're a random person getting hit on in a bar or something. That's what a ring is for. Look and you'll see your answer. I know I'm entering that stage of life (I'm 29) were a few of my friends are getting married, some settling a bit and some people my age already married, but is this what I am to expect now? That by 29 I am assumed to be married or if not, then planning it with my assumed girlfriend/fiance? I'm not going to lie to the guy as I have nothing to hide but I don't think anyone should be made to feel judged and have to explain they're life choices in an introduction.

I'm so busy at the moment - but busy in a good way. I've been having various meetings since last week with press officers/designers who showed in Tokyo fashion week. All is good. To be honest, I'm lazy when it comes to networking but I've suprised myself lol.
Now...remember when I said I was on the lookout for a dream bag? (I need a sleek looking backpack style bag to carry around my mac, work papers, portfolio etc) Yeah wel I found it!!!! Say hello to my Balenciaga boo http://www.balenciaga.com/int/en/Default.aspx?nav=/collections/men/accessories/bags The picture does NOT do it justice though. It is the most amazing, soft and supple leather, with a really heavy lock on. I wish there was a face shot of it. The only problem is, it comes with a hefty price that at the moment....I simply can't afford. credit card anyone? No I have to be good...eek! So at the moment....it seems it will remain a 'dream' bag sob sob :(
This summer though...I'm thinking about getting some new ink. I want some new tattoos and I've kinda got an idea of what I want done. I need to get it down though ;-)
Seems the link isn't working so you'll have to go to balenciagas website and check it out in mens accessories.
