CaraVision seeing GAGA Vision!
November 17, 2009Thanks to my friend Emma who made the dress, I had something very flamboyant to wear as I channeled my inner GAGA! I think the most fun about the costume was crafting a discostick and the hype up to Halloween.
dress compliments of emma bell fashion: www.emma-bell.com
Unfortunately, I was just toooooo Gagaraffic for the stuck up party we went to, no one could handle the spunk, the sparkles, disco stick, or funk!
In fact, if you stuck a rock where the sun don’t shine for 90% of the party attendees, you would get a whole lotta diamonds – tight asses.
ANYWAYS – preparty glitter times got a little outta control so much we had a purple glitter spillage explosion on the floor of Emma’s apt.
glitter glitter everywhere!!
Wasted glitter? hellllllll no! why waste glitter? we hairsprayed my dress so it would stick then i attempted to roll in it, just in case I was glittery enough!
as emma quotes “you can never have too much glitter!!!” cause you know I taste just like “glitter mixed with rock n roll”
***
Halloween made me miss my crazy group of Canadian friends! Here it’s not so much a big deal. Carnevale (in February) is bigger here – like a week long crazy fiesta with full fledged costumes!!! So now I definitely know what i’ll be wearing this year for it 
!! Can’t wait to channel my inner Gaga again!!

A Very Cara Halloween!
November 17, 2009So its been a while since my last post, and well since the weather is getting grey over here in Vienna, so is the life. HOWEVER – still managed to russle up some great Halloween spirit with close friends <3
It all started with the search for pumpins at Nasche Markt:
yay pumpkins!
scary halloween faces
This was followed by sturm drinking….
What is Sturm? A young wine, tastes kind of like grapejuice. Whatever you do, DO NOT DRINK A LITRE in one sitting, it gives you a stomach ache like the kind you get when you eat too many grapes the night before….
Anyways, after purchasing 3 litres of sturm in the mark and our pumpkings, we all gathered at a friend’s house for Halloween PUMPKING CARVING!
Halloween was still a week away, HOWEVER we wanted to get in the spirit a little early by dressing silly, having a few drinks, laughing, and working on halloween crossword puzzles.
the pumpkin preparation began…
getting those pumpkins ready!
getting those pumpkins ready!
Someone asked me (knowing I am a HUGE crazed lady gaga fan, and that’s what I was going for halloween) are you going to make a lady gaga pumpkin too? It was a joke question, until I was like UMMM YES – that’s genius!
So here is the draft pumpkin:
halloween gaga
I vant to be vlady vagaga!
heee heee notice the 3 bottles of sturm behind the computer 
And after the pumpkins were done, we toasted our in season sturm and took pictures of our glory!
gagalanturns!
and again....with our faces lit up
gagaaaa!

United Nations Smoking Crew…Its Saturday I’m in Love
October 21, 2009I am so glad I have a smokers crew now to enjoy the lovely Marlboro Gold, Marlboro lights, Marlboro, and occasional Parisienne Jaunes with! As my office mate would say: “You know its the smokers who are the fun ones. At a party it’s always the smokers who are the crazy ones, the ones with the stories, the ones who want to drink. Its the non-smokers who are boring.”
I work with the web team, and as we say in the office mate
“If you don’t understand the Navigation, Go for Meditation” and go I do.
this lovely graphic is posted outside of my office door
This meditation time is when we come up with many words of wisdom of life and at the UN.
***
The conclusion of he day was. I hate Tuesdays! they suck, they drag on the worst. Monday is application day. Wednesdays (aka humpday) are the best, (and are also prime for focus and getting work done days ) but they are the BEST because they are half way away from funny weekend memories and half way towards future weekend plans. Thursday is the new friday, friday is the new weekend. and Saturday i’m in love (cue in reference to 1990s here aka the cure)! Sunday is Raggaeton day….then it starts all over again.
Monday – application day. Tuesday gym day.
Wednesday – the best day (and the best day to get work done)
Thursday- the new friday. Friday? the new weekend
and saturday i’m in love!
Sunday, Funday! it’s raggaeton class. and REMIX
and it starts all over again!
***
more conclusions from today:
blargh is the new black.
gay is the new hetero.
metro is the new gay.
that is all.
***
Some days when i’m sitting at my desk I can focus and get work done.
But other days things seem so stale and sterile – that it feels like a little bit of my beautiful bright soul dies,
it feels like i’ve sold my soul to the bureaucracy.
Beige. is what it is right now.
xox.

I REFUSE TO UPGRADE!
October 21, 2009To reintroduce myself as the “LBI Queen,” I hosted a 1990s party – WE REFUSE TO UPGRADE!!! some flicks from our very 90s outfits….
Flashback Spice Girls!
Why do we refuse to upgrade?! ummmmm Gameboys, hightops, wutang clan, spice girls, aqua, venga boys, walkmans, neon colours, floral prints, overalls, fresh prince, and ZACH MORRIS PHONES! Need I say more?!
a new orange phone?
The next generation of INTERN MADNESS will be headed by the ZACH MORRIS phone (as pictured above) because I REFUSE TO UPGRADE! R.I.P. ORANGE PHONE your legacy has been born at the 1990s party. As I said at the party, in my famous speech to the crowd (which turned out to be around 50 people in the end) and I will say it again.
It isn’t about going to the bar, it isn’t about going to the Pub, ITS ABOUT REPRESENTING! So TONIGHT we REPRESENT the new generation. all said of course by raising the phone in victory….
this time i put it on a necklace so i wouldn't lose it!
<3 these girls!
1990s!
1990s!
But where do I find such retro things like random Zach Morris phones? Which was actually called “Portaphone (r) 2000″ cause you know that’s what 2000 looked like in the 1990s. Nasch Market of course!!! What is Nasch? I wonderfully beautiful and atmospheric place that is a flea market, and food market, as well as other various items.
some examples from a few years back
nasch summer 2007
nasch summer 2007
In addition to buying antipasto, veggies, fresh breads, etc. You can also sit at a bistro in Nasch and get an XXXL Schnitzel, which is what I did two weeks ago before searching for second hand retro treasures for the 1990s party!
XXXL Schitzel
XXXL Schnitzel
yummmmers….what a lovely place to eat. We were ALL happy with our meals, and especially happy that a donut sample lady was nice enough to bring over a little something something for us to taste at our table…..and THROUGH THE BUSHES! It was funny I kept peeking at her….I’m talking deep fried doughnuts
I am happy with my XXXL Schnitzel
the nice sample lady...even climbed OVER the bushes!
After our lunch we went searching for treasures….It was a GOLDEN day for me….I found a sequin hat (for 1 euro), two purses (4 euro each), AND a random leather vest, PERFECT for the 1990s….and of course the new ZACH MORRIS phone to REPRESENT the legacy of the old orange phone.
Here is how satisfied my trip to Nasch that day made me:
And the aftermath of the 1990s party?! A string of funny quotes and one LONG hungover sunday spent lounging and eating pizza…….ah yess hangover sunday with my telephone and a beanbag chair @ Emma’s
Thanks again Emma Bell for helping me host a kick ass part at your wonderful Museums Quartier Studio!

Bad Romance….can’t Wait!
October 7, 2009I CANNOT WAIT FOR LADY GAGA’s single…Bad Romance to come out (amongst other things xox)! She sings a bit here:
p.s. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the orbit around her….
***
How appropriate timing Lady Gaga – I was just telling my new found designer friends today about my little love story which they said I could write into a “Bad Romance” but it would be called “One Dress a Month”
I am so stoked about the plan revisitited….it has been revisited already…HOWEVER…this will remain a mystery until the plan takes place….muhahahahahah stay tuned!!!
***
Perhaps a prelude….
I found love – I could feel it coming from him to me before I verbalized the thought we both shared – I stuttered & Almost didn’t say it but I could feel it was right – I could feel the thought & could hear him say it without words.
I broke – but not my heart, only the silence.
I gave in – I fucking love him.
***
Ick factor/Bad Romance material?! I THINK SO!
<3
“It’s complicated and stupid, got my ass squezzed by sexy cupid” – lady gaga, lovegame
