Tears for Fears

Was browsing through You Tube looking at some eighties toons, when I came across some vids of Tears for Fears. Gosh they were great back in the day! I remember when Shout was released and it was so different and dark, like many of their songs. I had this album and played it HEAPS!

In my mind, I pictured them to look like this for eternity (as you do) and then I spotted some recent pics and was shocked at how thin Curt looks (Roland still basically looks the same so the contrast between 80s Curt and 2011 Curt is even more pronounced.) He's very handsome, it's just, he looks so different.

So, while I recover from that, here are some songs:

and this one just makes me happy whenever I hear it, which is rare:

Now for a recent live vid, where you can really see how thin, mature and non-popstarish Curt is (you have to remember he is in his 50s). I love, love, LOVE the choir and the orchestra in this: goosebump stuff!

And for something a little different, I found a mash-up of two songs, one by Tears for Fears, Woman in Chains, mashed with Kings of Leon's Sex on Fire, created by dj lobstermash. If you are familar with both of these songs, you will realise how clever this is. (If the first half doesn't grab you, go to about 3.40 for the best bit. Brilliant!)

Okay, so I have overindulged in Tears for Fears!

For some totally different, and yet still great musical choices, pop over to Thea's blog where her Sunday Session link up is rocking!

What the?

I so wanted to play along with Tropical Mum's new Friday Funny meme, but I couldn't find anything suitable to share, until hubby came home and showed me what he saw in the car next to him, when he stopped to get petrol:

Apparently, a huge drool was sliding off its lip as well! Snortingly funny!

Go visit Tropical Mum for some more laughs! xx

The Babies are Here!

I'm so excited to say that my sister had her twins!

A girl called Willow, and a boy called Blake.

Willow came first and weighed under 6 pounds, and then Blake came next at 7 pounds 10 ounces. (Oh, you probably all speak in kg, but I still prefer to talk in pounds when it comes to babies.)

So, two adorable munchkins to cuddle and go gooey over.

Pictures coming soon....

Australia's Next Top Model - Montana!

Oh, to be young, pretty and slim!

Australia's Next Top Model Last Two Nights

I do so love the Top Model shows! Whether it be American, Australian, New Zealand or Britain, I love watching beautiful people dress in beautiful clothes and pose in beautiful locations. It is such an intense competition, and the judges are really quite demanding.

Tomorrow night is the final episode for the latest Australian series, where the winner is decided. I'm not sure what tonight's episode is about, something about them being in Dubai.

The competition is really close, and I love all three of the final girls:

Liz

Simone

and Montana

They are all very pretty, and take great photos, although Simone can be a bit cutthroat. I love Montana, But I think the most radiant girl is Liz - she has an incredible smile! I think Montana will win though, because she is confident, while Liz is a bit unsure of herself.

Can't wait to see what happens at the LIVE final at the Opera House!
