Astro Ron’s View

by Amber on April 18, 2011 in Notebook

Astronaut Ron Garran (@astro_ron) just sent his first twitpic from space – and it was a shot of New Zealand’s North Island.

I really like tweeting astronauts, so when I saw this it made my morning. The East Cape looks pretty mighty from this angle!

Space Man

by Amber on July 26, 2010 in Style

I hate space. Well, at the least I dislike thinking about it. Sometimes I get mildly freaked out when I look at the star tattoo on my ankle and start thinking about real scary clouds of gas that one day are going to explode and kill all life in our corner of the universe… Ahem.

However sometimes it can be real pretty. Like on Christopher Kane’s latest resort collection. To be honest I’m not really looking at the cuts, just enraptured with the digital prints. It’s a huge step up from last year’s dismal choice of graphic.

Gorgeous. Sadly, one of those frocks is not within my financial grasp. So I bought the next best thing – space knickers:

Thanks Bonds. They are much cuter in real life; totally galactic fantastic. Now I can wear the universe underneath everything I own!
