Hair is Important....

My latest TV obsession is Shear Genius...has anyone seen it?! Gold...! I have always thought I'd make a super hairdresser and probably should have done an apprenticeship! Shear Genius is kind of like Project Runway but with hairdressers! Its down to the final three three and I can't decide if I like Brig the yellow haired kooky underdog or Janine the super cute tattooed one who is a bit bitchy...I don't really dig Matthew and he will probably win! Check it out...it is good, well I think it is...haha!

p.s oh yeah its also hosted by Camila Alves and she finished each elimination with "Remember, hair is important"....hahaha too cheesey!

The delightful Kelly Cutrone

As you may have noticed I enjoy my share of reality TV (think Rachel Zoe Project, The Hills, The City, Project Runway!) So when I heard that Kelly Cutrone (Whitney & Laurens boss at People's Revolution) I couldn't wait to check it. I love Kelly, she is straight up, swears like a sailor but is also really hilarious!

Her new show is called 'Kell on Earth' and its awesome! I am also now in love with her assistant Andrew M who is a long-haird goth boy who likes to wear sequins. Its a winner by my books! You should check it out!

P.S: When you watch it...OMG I can't believe Robyn is wearing track-pants and a head scarf when she meets designer David Delfin!

My Secret Valley

Not many people remember this gem from the 80's, the production quality and acting skills are pretty outstanding!

I've mentioned this before on our blog- we enjoy trashy pop-culture TV. We can't help it, we are addicted! So when I read that Lauren Conrad was leaving The Hills and writing a series of books about a 'fictional' character who stars in her own reality TV show. I got a little excited. Ha-ha! I mean I was sad she was leaving the show but the drama will continue I'm sure of it!

So when I got emailed an excerpt from the book which is being launched on 24th June in Australia-I jumped for joy as once I finished reading it I instantly wanted more! I have already got my name on the waiting list...yep there is one! Click here for the full excerpt! My only disappointment was the characters name. Jane. I must say its a little bland...If I was writing a book about my life I would make my character have some way cool, awesome name like- Lola, Fern or Hazel!

This part made me laugh...

"What's wrong with white?" Jane asked.
"It just doesn't look great on camera. Color looks way better."
Jane looked down at the summery white lace dress she was wearing. Crap, she thought.

So like most of Australia I am Master Chef mad. I am intrigued and impressed with the dishes created by the amateur chefs and most of all I am loving Matt Prestons fashion style! He is such a dude and he totally rocks the cravat! I'd like him to take me out on a dinner date- it would be unreal. He would be such a gentleman I thinks!

P.S Go Poh! Not only is she totally cute she is talented and take risks!

So here at Lala Orange we are BIG, HUGE, MEGA fans of Gossip Girl. After a really long, long, long break Gossip Girl is back on! (oh by the way we watch it online-super addictive!) Well this weeks episode was great and left me hanging for more and there were so many questions to be answered and left me pondering why I love this show so much!

How did Jenny Humphrey make all those costumes by herself? Isn't she like 15? I know she is worked for Eleanor Waldorf but Serena and Blair looked like they were wearing couture.. seriously! I really do love the fashion on GG-bows, knee socks, hats and glove-somethings just won't work in this Australian climate, shame.

Are Blair and Chuck the new 'Marisa and Ryan' or 'Rachel and Ross'? Will they get together? Will she take him back? I am confused but I want to know...now...I almost shouted 'What about Chuck?' at the computer screen when Blair got all cozy with slimeball Carter.

Vanessa is annoying but I liked her bag! I think Vanessa is really irritating and I think her and Nate are so wrong together and he should leave Vanessa for Jenny. Then Vanessa can leave the show and we can get a new character. But last night I give Vanessa props for that neon yellow clutch...hot! ( I couldn't find a picture-sorry...)

I kinda want Georgina Sparks to come back! I quite liked that story line, it was exciting and super bitchy. Serena is cooler when she is mess and kinda boring/bimbo-like when she is crushing on her gay director.

Is it bad I have a crush and son/father team Dan and Rufus? No need to answer this...

Pick it Up, Twist it!

Easy-Peasy Lemon Squeezy! The Twist!

Yes, I need this hair stylists number....

So, as I said in my last post its been pretty hot in Perth and I've just had a new haircut which features a blunt fringe which rocks when the weather is cooler and less sticky. So I have been on the hunt for a new way to style my hair in a cute but humid-friendly way! I went to St Jeromes Laneway Festival a few weeks ago and I keep seeing braided fringes left right and center and I am thinking this might be the answer to my dilemma.

I don't think I've sported a plait since I was in primary school so my technique is rather rusty so I hopped on YouTube and found this tutorial title "Lauren Conrad's Side Braid Look". I have to admit (I am blushing!) I do watch The Hills and I am pretty envious of Laurens hair so I settled in to watch the video. Um...I just spent the last 1/2 hour swearing at the mirror and feeling like a goof. I don't think my fingers are nimble enough and my 'do is too short! Boo hoo!

So Lauren's hair triggered my memory to last week when I watching "The City" (yep blushing again!) and I remember thinking Whitneys hair was way cute. (If you are lost on who 'Lauren' or 'Whitney' are you must have way better taste in TV than Kitty Brite and me!!!) I think I just found my new summer hair style- The Twist! Oh and even a hair-challenged girl like me can pull this one off! I am totally going to do this tomorrow morning and take a picture, I promise!

P.S How weird are these ladies teaching these hair tutorials?! The 'Twist' girl has zero charisma she is soooo freaky!
