Heart Melbourne

I have always hearted Melbourne.

I get the rivalry between the two cities, but I can't deny that I love Melbourne. I have to say though I find most Melbournians that I have encountered find it hard to admit they like Sydney too. I always get a "Melbourne's better". They are just totally different cities.

Once in a Sydney nightclub, a guy from Melbourne ran up to our group just to tell us how Melbourne was better. That's nice, thanks mate.

I don't get it? but anyways...

My trip last weekend was fantastic, but freaking exhausting! I was not as much of a tourist this time or a good blogger in taking photos.. so I'll just do this post randomly...

 

We went out both nights and both were massive nights, from these nights I have learnt that in Melbourne "if an alleyway looks like the kind you get murdered in... it will have a good bar/club in it".

I have also learnt that Melbourne's chicken and cheese is $3 (McDonalds) - rort! and the value menu ends at midnight... how will this satisfy my drunken snacking?

So let's start the Melbourne randomness...

I now know how to fit as much as possible in at China Bar (I even got to eat Cheese this time woohoo).

My plane was significantly delayed on the way to Melbourne, but when I finally got to A's apartment this was waiting for me :) He had made me upside down lasagna and it was yummmy!

I bought these gold shoes for only $10!!!! I know they look tacky in the box, but on I think they are HOT HOT HOT.

We thought this place had awesome signs and questioned whether the loyaly program was like the coffee cards? 6th one free? :P

Nothing satisfies a hangover better than a delicious bowl of carbs, but this one in Crown was especially good!

That sums up my Melbourne weekend.

Next trip is a week long one wahhooooo, but for now this weekend.. I'll only have one messy night out and sleep the rest of the time, I need it!



Pole, Back and Shoes.

I haven't taken a pole dancing photo for a while now, but I am in my third term and we are doing some really coll looking tricks. The trick above is one we learnt last night.

Unfortunately, about ten minutes prior to taking this picture, I was doing another move when I felt something pull in my lower back. My back has been troubling me for the past 6 weeks and causing me immense pain. Some days I cannot reach down to put my stockings on, or to pick up things or I can't even roll over in bed. Last night was one of those nights. I woke in the middle of the night to roll over and I was awake for 30 minutes trying to turn, it was exhausting and I cired because it hurt so much. I cry regularly from the pain and frustration. I am 25 not 85!!! I should be able to use my body freely!

I have been to my GP about my back and I am scheduled to get some scans done. He wants to be sure it is not a joint or disk before we move on to any other treatment.

 I changed my work chair today hoping it will make a difference. I had only been using my previous one for a few months, so hopefully that was the cause and now I have found the solution. I just want it to end :(

Feeling sorry for myself, I figured the best remedy was greasy food. I haven't had Oportos in so long and on Monday 12WBT starts again so I have to get in all my badness this week LOL. I have decided that until the wedding next year 12WBT will be like my own personal nutritionist minus the excessive cost.

Speaking of all things greasy and bad for you... has anyone else been addicted to McDonalds' $2 Chicken and Cheese? Many of my friends are fellow addicts. They are just soo yummy, cheap and the perfect size. A regularly turns to me and says "Chicken and Cheese entree?" when we walk past McDonalds to the supermarket. I know there are certain pockets of cellulite on my bum which were created by Chicken and Cheese lol.

Yesterday I also received my massive box of shoes from Brands Exclusive. There were 5 pairs of shoes inside. It is safe to say everyone at work things I have an online shopping problem. The security guard laughs at me every time he hands me a package and then threatens to chop up my credit card.

My thigh high boots- can't wait to try them on!!

Got these in brown and black

Posted these babies on Instagram..

I think the heeels will be perfect for a New York themed 30th I have on Saturday.

I am thinking black lace dress, these shoes and a fur coat. Do you think that's on theme?

 Has anyone been to a New York themed party or have any suggestions?
