It's tell a fairy tale day today - I've got nothing, but I do have this nifty round up of vaguely interesting stuff, so read on my friend, or, you know, just look at the pictures...
It's raining, it's pouring, yet I am certainly not snoring because this week began with the Oscars, some bizarre, though I'm assured, edible treats, a gadget that is actually worth knowing about and a new formed fancy that I'm certain you'll totally agree with and it's only Thursday, which still leaves plenty of time for the possibility of more things you just need to know about.
(Love, that is all)
1/ Girl Crush
I don't know much about Margot Robbie, other than what I discovered whilst watching 'Top Gear' - she's Australian and can drive a rally car faster than Will Smith - plus what I've seen of her in 'The Wolf Of Wall Street' - you all know the scene I'm talking about, right? She was already on my radar (she turned up to 'Top Gear' with an oversized leather jacket slung nonchalantly over her shoulders, nuff said really) but after seeing her Oscar's outfit I think she may have reached girl crush status. All blonde hair, luminescent skin and pillar box red lips, Robbie appeared like a modern day Marilyn Monroe (minus the subway grate) in her cleavage baring, 70's embracing Saint Laurent gown. Love the tassel beaded necklace too. How many times can you say that you love someone before you know, stalker?
(Never eat ice-cream in the dark again)
2/ Feeding Off The Rave
Robbie's birthplace is also responsible for something delightful(?), disgusting(?) I guess it depends where you fall on the fun scale... Yes, what have you been coveting your whole entire life? UV ice-cream I hear you cry? Well it's your lucky day, a pop-up parlour named '196 Below', has er, popped up, serving vibrant scoops of dairy-free and vegan, ice-cream. Apparently it's a UV reactive liquid food colouring that has been certified by TGA and not the inside of glow sticks (your mum was definitely right when she said not to suck those...) So will you be making the trip Down Under to literally taste the (UV) rainbow?
3/ Hair's To Thinking Before You Speak
Yey for freedom of speech! However, some thing's are just better left unsaid. Wouldn't you agree, Giuliana Rancic? Even as a minor celebrity, far removed from reality in television land, sat snugly between your panel of 'fashion-know-it-alls', casually goofing off there is a fine line between banter and just plain bad taste. During the Fashion Police's Oscars special, Rancic said that Zendaya, who sported dreadlocks, smelt like "patchouli oil... and maybe weed". The show known for mocking celebs and their styling mishaps usually
errs away from outright offence, yet in this instance the typical lolz fell flat. Rancic has since apologised and clarified that she was referring to a "bohemian chic look". As the saying goes, if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

4/ Mane-tainence Guide
You know how everyone seemed to have thick, voluminous, 'I just woke up like this' hair last year? Well it looks like this year the style gods all got together and vetoed the boho style of yore in favour of this new, more manageable style. And what is this new style, well it's the shaggy bob. See Kimmy K, Sienna Miller (haute bohemia - aka mobo - patron), Emma Stone, Lauren Conrad, Bruce Jenner... For those of us not as snap happy - not to mention who aren't blessed with expert extension putter-inners - there is a gadget called the 'StyleEasy' bob styler. I have no idea how it works but it costs £4 and can be found in Asda, so is surely worth chancing. Now go forth and let your yo-yo hairstylings loose at your every whim.
(Happier times, during Madonna's 1995 Brits performance, that didn't see her on her arse but did see some weird flailing around the stage...)
5/ Brit's That Time Again
She flashed her arse during the Grammys and now Madonna's at it again. This time however, going arse backwards whilst performing at last night's Brit awards. Very few can handle the power of the cape, a lesson Madonna unfortunately learnt in front of the world. In other just as important news, Kanye West hooked Nick Jonas up last night. I know what you're thinking, but though Kris likes em' young it was actually a call of nature that brought out the best in Yeezus, aiding Jonas in his time of need with his open door policy; to his toilet. When you've got to go, you've got to go, and it's nice to Know that though Ye will take over a Nandos and cuss a lot on primetime TV, he is actually the fairy godmother of lav emergencies. Kim will be so proud.
Also, have you heard of the Backstreet boys? You know, the five piece, guy group, they were kinda a big in the 90s? Well they've released 'Show Em' What You're Made Of', a behind the scenes look at the boyband. Why this should interest you I'm not quite sure, but 'I Want It That Way' will forever remain a karaoke classic - FACT. In other news, Karlie Kloss and Doutzen Kroes are hanging up their wings and leaving the glitter of Victoria's Secret behind them to fulfill other modelling commitments/ taking over the world. FKA Twigs took the best dressed for me last night at the Brits in an Alexander McQueen, harness topped, flare legged, embellished skirt overlay. She looked edgy and sexy whilst still flying her fashion freak flag. And because no round up would be replete without Kim Kardashian making an appearance, the selfie 'extraordinaire' epically failed last night, whilst attempting a masterclass in selfie-taking mid stage with Ant and Dec, forgetting to unlock her phone and ending up selfie-less (which is in no way to be confused with 'selfless' btw).
