Last Days of Disco

The last few months have been a real struggle for me. Juggling almost full-time work with parenting, with housework, with wife-ing, and then toss blogging on top of that - I'm not going to lie. I am 100 % completely exhaustipated*. 


Something's got to give because everything in my life seems to be suffering from the knock on effect of everything else. Every night I race home from work, help with the kids going to bed, and collapse onto the sofa so darn beat down, I can barely muster any energy to open my laptop, let alone use my brain to come up with some content. I've tried. Trust me. I really have, but I feel like I am drowning in over-commitment - it's not a good feeling. 


It's with heavy heart that I've decided to put PottyMouthMama into retirement. At least for the next few months. 


If you feel a bit jipped, might I suggest you start at the very start of PottyMouthMama? There's four years worth of content, with highlights being Tiny smearing poo everywhere, the Doctor being delicious, and me rummaging through someone else's bin. For. Weeks. On. End. 


Bon appetit baby.


By the way, I'll still come back tomorrow and announce the LEGO winner. Last chance to enter that competition chicitas.

*exhaustipated was a word a girl that I used to work with always used. I never had the heart to tell her it wasn't a real word. So I always thought of it as a combination of being immensely tired - and constipated - all at once.

Currently I'm sitting on my bed, dreaming of the day this rain will pass. Also day-dreaming about my up coming trip to Denver/ the summer months. My cousin and I are kind of obsessing over the whole Bare-Midriff thang. NEVER did I ever think I could pull it off, but I'm a tad obsessed now. And I just realized how "Kelly Kapowski" my look is, whoops. 

Above: cropped turtle neck found at F21, Elizabeth and james sunnies, and vintage cut-off Levi's. But giving a glimpse of your abs isn't just for summer, I'm planning on working the cropped right now in all this rain (more posts to come.) Some of my favorite mid-drift baring photos below. 

For All The Twitter Lovers

Good news for Twitter lovers is you can now get all your tweets onto a 2 ply toilet roll called Shitter. With the tag line "Social media has never been so disposable" you may well think this is exactly where Twitter feeds belong (but not me, I love Twitter).

Shitter toilet paper. I know. Awesome right? I am pretty sure this is all your dreams come true, so you can stop sleeping now and get tweeting for truly customised toot roll.

Oh Hai.

Last night I went out on the town to kick up my heels with a bunch of bloggers. I met Wee Birdy there and together we giggled and guffawed the night away.


Big ups to Wee Birdy for giving me this banging picture of me being a ham hock. I mean, who doesn't star their Darling mani when posing mercilessly? The truth is, the reason I was dressed like a Tequila Sunrise (see recipe here) was for the Kidspot Top 50 Bloggers. Aha. 


Woogs held me in her bosom. I got to meet Eden. Was astounded by Hair Romance's beautiful hair. And I reunited with Chantelle. There were many more and it was like a whirlwind tour. I felt a bit like a fraud. 


Anyway, you readers, you are all quiet as mice. What's happening on your homefronts? Do tell. I am waiting to hear. And when someone wants to hack into my mainframe and let me know how I can reply directly to comments, well I am all freaking ears. I can not work it out myself and I want to punch my blog in the head. 


Right now I am listening to Gossling because I just love her. I've eaten a burger for dinner and had two to three wines. Who's counting? (Because it's not like I have to drive to bed.) I got told I was very quiet at work today. I love listening to the Hack on Triple J driving home. Do you? What are you doing? Come on, spill. Fill me in on what's on the haps in your neighbourhood. 


Oh and as a Friday bonus, how great is this Bluejuice cover of Video Games. I went off Lana del Rey quicker than Lite White goes off in a luke warm fridge. But this. This I can get with.


And finally, come join me on Facey. We can like totes chat. And stuff. 


PS - this is a link heavy post. I apologise. But perhaps you'll thank me later for sending you around the world in just one quick read of PottyMouthMama?

Will You Still Respect Me In The Morning?

Every morning, I wake up, stretch, blink my eyelids, and check my emails. I know this routine by rote. It's a bit sad, I do admit, but a lot can go on on the interwebz overnight. I love the interwebz. 

But lately - that 'lot' is a hellofalotta spam. 

I changed the settings on my blog so any anonymous commenters (the nice ones, not the nasty ones) could comment. And that decision has certainly bitten me on the bum. 


Did you know that I am a multi-millionaire in a number of different currencies? That I can access celebrity porn at the click of a mouse? My goodness. PottyMouthMama is a veritable Pandora's box. 


If you are anonymous and wish the channels of conversation to remain open, then state your case, otherwise I must close the floodgates, I am sick of vetting the spam-in-ator. 


So now that I am loaded with my rupees, rand, Euros and US dollars, I probably won't be posting here as often. I'll probably be cruising on yachts watching celebrity porn and chewing on cialis just for kicks.  


You'll just have to make do with this new single from Gossling. It's a pretty darn good consolation, right? Yes. You're damn straight it is. 

Behind the Scenes of Kevin Murphy campaign shoot in New Zealand

Coming off the end of a huge week here at Black, we can now have a look at our time spent on the campaign shoot for Kevin Murphy shot here in beautiful New Zealand by Robert Erdmann. Three days jammed packed with fabulous hair by Kevin Murphy and outstanding styling by Rachael Churchward. The wonderful team we worked with set up at a different location each day; starting with Auckland's Highwic House, then into Kingsize Studios with superb and glamorous lighting by Michael Knapp and the last day saw us all venturing to the glorious west coast of Karekare beach. A hugely successful campaign with the sneak peaks of images we did see - looking amazing! We will be itching to share them with you all as soon as we can! Photos by Yasmine Ganley and Grant Fell
