God Dammit!!!!
This is an approximation of how I look and sound right now - having had fashion related annoyances all week resulting in me squealing GODDAMMIT! in a Cartman worthy mini tantrum. First my white winkle pickers order gets cancelled, then my Chelsea Rebelle trews don't fit, then today I rip the pocket off my favourite blazer! It may not exactly be life changing stuff I'm talking about here, but Godammit I wanted the shoes and the trousers!!!
However on a cheerier note, my (hopefully) fabby new camera arrived today.
My little £60 job no longer wants to play at blogging, so I went all out and bought a pretty decent one. This will mean that all Irina comparisons will finally be put an end because whilst my old camera was temperamental at best, it did a good job at taking quite flattering pictures. This baby will take no prisoners, which means all my lines, pores and non Irina-esque flaws will be brought to you in all their glory. You lucky, lucky people! But, it also means that colour should hopefully be much more accurate and I will be able to take pictures without the flash having to be on all the time.Queen Michelle



Good choice - I love my D40. The pics turn out so well!

Good choice to take Nikon! My bf changed recently from Canon to Nikon and we won't regret that! D40 is an excellent choice. I'm thinking of getting a Nikon as well :)

Godammit is right! I'm saying a loud Godammit on your behalf.

I'll be eyeing this one, too. My game little camera is so limited, I spend all my time color-correcting. Bleah.
You'll look beautiful as yourself. You always do.

ohh lovely camera. I've got an old film Nikon but i don't know how to use it! I just pretend i do.

Which reminds me, I should save up for a camera too...I'm tired of hardly ever being able to post pictures, and the Mothership's old Sony is a horror of unflattering light.

Lil, those are some real purty shoes!
Mina, you are beyond cruel!! Oh, how I LOVE those shoes!
Street.style, I may still end up going the way of pretending to know how to use this camera, since I'm pretty camera illiterate.

My boyf uses a D60 and the quality is insane (compared to my little Leica). Good choice of camera but hey, I'm still 100% convinced that you are the twin sister of Irina! Hehehehe

Isuka, the only other comparison I really get is Cher. "a young Cher" to be precise. Nice.

I have this camera and I love it. My blogging photos still need some work. . . but I do love my camera, it's so much fun!

CHER!? That is so far off. I'm actually laughing so hard right now!
