This Is How We Party!
How to have the best night out possible:
1. Book a penthouse for the night
2. Get your work crew to come pre drink with you
3. Work for VHA, those guys know how to throw a decent party
4. Start up the dance floor in true party girl style, like me every time
5. Steal a huge Tiki skull and dance around with it on your head
6. Storm the stage and get photographed by a local paper singing with the Pit Bull look-alike
Word of warning though... always keep your shoes on I ended up with a shard of glass in my foot and needed medical attention that almost resulted in a quick trip to the ER. Also don't think that your friends will be there to help you out as I have said time and time again you can only ever rely on yourself.
All in all totally worth it had the night of my life and the pictures to show for it.

Brand New Tomorrow
So as those of you who read my blog religiously know (and don't lie I know you all do) you know how much I love and support Melbourne boys Daylight Hours.
Last week they released their EP 'Brand New Tomorrow' and saying that I loved it would be the understatement of the year. It's beyond amazing, I had it on repeat for two whole days.
It plays like an epic love story even though Adam assures me it's not about anyone in particular I'm being the hopeless romantic and will continue to think that they wrote it about one girl in particular, and who ever she is sounds very lucky.
"Me and You" was their first single out and it started this whole saga for me, but my favourite song off the EP would have to be "Definitely Maybe" its romantic but sad and depressing all at once and for some reason its the song I relate to most.
Check it out for yourselves and tell me if I'm wrong but I swear these guys wrote it for someone in particular and if Adam wont give up the secret looks like I'll have to convince Marty, Anthony or Phil to spill the beans on this one.
Get at it people buy this album... like NOW haha

When make-overs make you crush
Totally have a girl crush on my friend Danielle.
She recently gave herself a makeover and now looks like Ruby Rose who, lets face it, every girl has a girl crush on. Her sense of style is out of the window amazing and she has an air of confidence that makes you really see her when ever she walks into a room. Danielle now embodies all that is amazing about Ruby Rose. If only she could design her own fashion label and let me do the PR for it my life would be perfect haha.
I seriously wish I was friends with Ruby Rose, but for now Danielle will do lol :)

How to have fun in a town full of bogans
So as you all know I spent 3 weeks in both Melbourne and Bendigo.
Melbourne is amazing its full of fun, light, laughter, music and dancing. Dreams can actually come true in this town though i would never want to live here again. One of my high school friends and I went out clubbing to a place called Love Machine and had a weirdly fun night. The DJ was crazy amazing the drinks were cheap and there was a fair amount of talent around.
It's all fun and games until one rude bartender refuses to accept gold coins as payment then the night gets thrown out the window. Highlight of the night you ask??? Telling an idiot of for trying to dance on a podium but looking like a dying fish instead, I'm sorry but he needed to be told his ego was suffocating me!
As for Bendigo....
This town needs a lesson in Fashion and Music. There are the bare minimum of people who understand that trackies are not to be worn socially in public and also that thongs are not shoes you wear out to a club. Speaking of clubs... they are really just pub's with a small dance floor, hardly worth spending your time in really.
This trip was a little differnt for me though. It was like a huge high school reunion and only the nice people were invited.
One of my best mates from high school Zac Moore (aka Moorey) was there and it was amazing to see him.
I decided it as time for him to learn how to party Sydney style. We gate crashed two birthday parties, took over the DJ booth and only played what we wanted to hear and made a bar tender fall in love with me to score free drinks. We were at the club til after close doing shots with the manager and didn't get home til about 6:30am. That's how its done when you really want to party.
Also I just want to do a huge shout out to Daylight Hours and congratulate them on their gig with Tonight Alive. I was lucky enough to see Tonight Alive in Bendigo (even though I was surrounded by drunken 18 year olds) it was an amazing gig that I will never forget.
Tonight Alive rocked it like they were performing for people they'd known their whole lives and didn't hold anything back. Jenna looked like she was in her element the entire time sporting a massive smile in between tracks.
Their latest album 'What Are You So Scared Of?' is out now and can be picked up online at iTunes or from JB Hi-Fi so go out there and get it!!
Also Daylight Hours has a gig on November 12th all ages in Melbourne to launch their EP WOOOOOO!! So check out their facebook page for deets its a free gig people there's ZERO excuse not to go, and if you could 'like' their facebook page it would really make Adam stress less.
Jump out of your comfort zone and live for the sake of living people, and always remember that you can always blame the random things on music :)

Melbourne Bound
This blogger is heading to Melbourne.
Friends, Fun Nights, Live Bands and ALBUM LAUNCHES
Most exciting time ill have this month is October 14th when Tonight Alive launches their album.
Incase you haven't yet heard of these Australian made gems think Paramore mixed with punk rock heaven. They make you want to get angry at the guy who cheated on you, smile at life's little miracles and dance like no ones watching. I've already heard their entire album and I can't wait to party with the legends themselves as they celebrate their album launch at Melbourne's The HiFi. There are still tickets on sale for both the 14th and 15th and they are as little as $17 (15th is an Under 18's gig which also features my other fave Aussie acts Daylight Hours). Make sure you head out in Melbourne that night to see me partying up like the rockstar I wish I was.
Head to The HiFi to purchase your tickets for what is set to be a night to remember.
And as always my loves don't forget, everything I do, music made me do it <3

It Is The Season
So for those of you who follow me on twitter, you know I went out last night for my best friend Sam's 21st. The night was filled with tears, laughter, sequins and inappropriate behaviour.
First the people at Napoleon Perdis screwed up Sam's make-up royally making her cry and not even want to go out. Thankfully my PIMP cup saved the day and it was off to drinking in a decked out hotel room in the heart of Sydney.
Then there was the issue with the dress not being right. Every girl knows that monument birthday's require months of outfit planning but if you're not feeling it on the night you need to have back-ups. Sam did not so it was a late night trip to a funky little shop on George St. named Imagination. Finally she was ready to rule the night.
I ended up going with my personal version of the LBD. Only its bright pink. With sequins. Don't mock it guys this dress has been a life saver most of my time here in Sydney. I picked it up for only $25 at a Myer stocktake sale and its made by Kenji. This dress is a statement piece so needs little accessories along with it, hence pairing it with black skyscraper pumps and a black clutch.
We started at Hugo's where the bouncers were rude, the drinks were over priced and there was no dance floor. Here's a quick guide to clubbing with me.
1. Hit on the cutest bar tender and score cheaper drinks
2. Sweet talk the bouncers into letting you into VIP sections when you're not on the list
and 3. Most important of all. Make your own dance floor regardless of where you are.
This made the night instantly more fun. We also hit up Sapphire Lounge and Eye Bar all before going to the 24 hour tattoo parlour to get inked but was dragged out right before it was my turn. (actually bummed I didn't get my dragonfly!)
Probably the best part of the evening was the last half hour of the night. Scott and I danced in KFC while waiting for them to cook me 20 nuggets. We did the sprinkler and the scuba diver to retro pop music then i jumped into a fountain because it had purple shiny lights... All in all a fabulous evening, though I still maintain Newtown is more fun.
Live like no one is watching you guys, you have more fun that way ;)

You Make Me Wanna Die
So I just downloaded The Pretty Reckless and I was blown away.
Has anyone realised just how talented Taylor Momsen is?? She's freaking AMAZING!!
My favourite song from the album is a toss up between Heart and Blender each for their own reasons.
This album comes from the heart and soul of old school rock. Taylor's voice is raspy but in the best way possible and her vocal range is something right out of the 80's, cool and melodic at times and then perfectly angry and angsty in others. This girl may be young but her voice sounds like she's been around for years and is worldly beyond her years.
For those of you who haven't heard the breakthrough song "You Make Me Wanna Die" listen to it now!
This band is beyond amazing and is something you need to listen to every day to truly appreciate. I know I promote a lot of music on here as being amazing but that's because I'm right and I promise you all that I wouldn't say it if it weren't true.
