Mo-vember!

Mo-vember!

Hey Y’all It that funny furry time of the year here in New Zealand. It’s the time of the year where men all over the country start to grow furry little nose critters… Yes It’s Movemeber, the month dedicated to growing body hair(specifically moustaches) in the name of charity. The funds raised by Movember 2008 will be split between two of the best health charities in the country. Half will go to the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand’s Out of the Blue campaign to help men experiencing depression and the other half will go to the Cancer Society of New Zealand who need funding for existing prostate cancer research programs and men’s health programs.

Ryan has decided this year he will grow his first mo for charity! So keep a look out on this blog as I will update with Mo pictures! But in order to get pictures you have to donate, if you don’t donate then what good is him growing a Mo? Go ahead and donate HERE. Thanks for that in reward here is a picture of Ryan thus far!

Um wow!

THIS makes me really glad that I don’t live in Australia, we don’t have huge bird eating spiders in New Zealand which i think is so very awesome…. at least I don’t think we do… I hope we don’t!

Ugggggh!

Ugggggh!

This is the kind of day I have been having!

That’s All!

On this night!

On this night!

On this night a year ago I was on a plane over the dark night waters of the pacific ocean. When I got off that plane I was met by a wonderful man who I was madly in love with. I still love him with all my heart and soul! This last year in New Zealand has been awesome and amazing in so many wonderfule ways!

So here is to new beginings!

New lives!

New friends!

New family!

Here’s to the next year, and the one after that!

We Need Change.

(an apology to my Non-New Zealand readers, this is focused at New Zealanders)

Now many people may not understand that  young fashionista who desires the newest parada bag or those gorgeous marc jacobs shoes(if they only were in her size) would be a big supporter of the green party.  That is due to an “image” that people have of fashionista’s. That we are young, thin, and self obsessed, okay so maybe you got me on the last one, but in the fashion world I might as well be 90, and um thin I am not.

Well despite or maybe because of my self  obsession I care about the enviroment, and the future of the earth itself. I have dreams and desires that goes beyond handbags, shoes, and frocks( I know I was just as shocked as you to realize it) desires to have children, and furthermore grandchildren to be able to play with them in the rivers and woods. Desires to watch the children of today grow up to be the parents of tomorrow, and not have to worry about running out of water, air, oil, the earth.

It is apparent as this election looms nearer, it has become apparent to me that only one party is clearly thinking not only of our children, our grandchildren or even out great-grandchilden, but of their great-grandchildren. Thinking of the planet as a whole and understand tax breaks and more money will mean nothing if we have no planet to live on. Understanding this is the only planet we have and there is no trade in policy on it like your new Prius. It is agreed that New Zealand needs a change I just hope you can see like I do that the change we need is Green
