NIGHTCLUBS & COFFEE -- from a Raven- haired Girl who Knows All About Melbourne!

Livebait Restaurant & Bar, Newquay

2006-09-14T12:07:00.000+10:00

* Superb upper -level restaurant/ bar seemingly hovering over water. All glass walls & shaped like a boat's bow, great docklands views. Seafood emphasis but something 4 all, including steak & poultry. More casual Moroccan-inspired Mecca Bah bistro underneath.

* It's scary when dirtbags r planning this far ahead...

Dirtbag #1: I got her number for you.

Dirtbag #2: I don't want it. If you give it to me, I'm going to throw it out.

Dirtbag #1: She was banging, and she had a sister. Is she banging?

Dirtbag #2: She looked good. Taller. Younger.

Dirtbag #1: We gonna take them to the movies and then to the hotel.

Dirtbag #2: Yeah?????

Dirtbag #1: We gonna pull the camcorder out on that.

* When U get up in the morning, what do U REALLY LIVE 4, readers?! What makes life the most worth living. I'd like 2 hear all your different views & outlooks...

* I have a feeling most people want sum kind of human contact IN LIFE ------ 2 be with, communicate, interact with, be wanted by, & receive approval from them. What would 99% of people do without this if we really examined what we want? And how do we all achieve this?... In 1000s of different ways everyday, I guess... in allsorts of healthy & unhealthy ways... sum R satisfied, sum never satisfied & always striving further... Doesn't it all cum down 2 this??

* Hhhmm... How do U go about with people around U, & why do U do the things U do in order 2 gain sumthing from or give sumthing 2 people, if U really look at what U do in YOUR life? I'm NOT a philosopher, I just like & want opinions. Tah, tah luvlees.

Plush polished moody interior with twinkly chandeliers & swirly marbly blue main bar. Not the place 4 shabby alternative types or hip- hop homeys! Blair McDonough from "Neighbours" would cum here. Upstairs chillout lounge 4 eclectic grooves, obscure sounds. Downstairs Andy Van, who's supposed 2 B famous, & others played electro (FART MUSIC).

Sexy Nightclub - THE LEXINGTON, GPO, Melbourne City Mall

2006-08-03T10:56:00.000+10:00

* Classy place, pity about the music!
*

* Beautiful interior with enormous chandeliers & a soaring ceiling in the redeveloped GPO building rite on the mall; a huge suspended ball projected with a movie image on it, currently amusingly one of a burning log fire. Finally a place suitable 4 being very dressed up... or as smartly cool-casual as u like. I must wear a long formal gown here next time (which wouldn't fit most of da other Melbourne bars with their shabby slighty dirty attitude).

* Very crowded, mainly young with a few more sophisticated 30-sumthings, well dressed, cool, but many acting up- themselves & trying 2 show others up, especially young girls. I'm 1 of the tallest girls usually so I get bad looks often from them. A nice blondish Italian guy started chatting 2 get 2 know me. He was muscular (-nice), handsome, & well- spoken; then this short- skirted Asian tart of a girl came 2 try 2 chat him up a bit in the middle of our conversation. She was jealous of him pickin' me up & not her, obviously, coz he said he didn't know her at all. What a bitch! In da end, he said 2 me "Fuck her!" as we continued chatting. Another girl came 2 talk 2 me coz she liked my green flower print & satin dress & she was pleasant. Some of da men here r drop dead gorgeous but wouldn't go 4 me!

* There is a dancefloor in the adjoining room, "The Music Room", but da electro house sounded stupid, like farts, & crass. Soulful house, please! I left at 2am & needed a more chilled place 4 a drink; da girls were gettin' 2 catty. Went 2 nearby bar, Cookie - so relaxed, quirky music, & by then the bitch tarts on Saturdays had moved on 2 crowded clubs. Great place 4 a martini... & kind staff with stylishly individual people. Need 2 get back 2 da lounge room at Seven niteclub again soon 4 my fix. Tah tah, luvlees!

Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Christian Dior, Roberto Cavalli, Prada, Dolce e Gabbana, Chanel, Missoni, Versace

2006-07-30T23:12:00.000+10:00

* HANDBAGS 2 DIE 4 SHOULD B FROM DA ABOVE FASHION LABELS ( OR COPIES OF, ER, THAT IS, INSPIRED BY THEM)

Go get shiny, sparkly, dainty, furry, sequin-y handbags NOW as they r essential 2 finish an outfit when goin' out & both guys & girls will evaluate your status in clubland by them.

TRANSPORT PUBLIC BAR -- FEDERATION SQUARE, MELBOURNE

2006-07-28T12:51:00.000+10:00

* Sleazy Skanks & Graffiti B-boys, C U all at Transport Bar this weekend 4 Xcellent people-watching. Wat a nice place 2 see EYE CANDY of both sexes, although da men there achieve sum level of sophistication above grunting, & they appreciate a nice dress/ skirt.

More about boys...

* Wood U Like 2 See Me With My Clothes Off?

That's exactly what most of the beefy very masculine guys in clubs & bars are constantly thinkin' about when they see sexy, pretty girls like me. I think I'm quite over being hit on by them unless they actually show somehow that they don't just wanna lift up my skirt 4 some raunchy action, like engaging in meaningful conversation. I think the less beautiful boys r more like that & they know how 2 treat a girl as a person.

Clubbing In Melbourne, Australia

This is what it's like 2 B a girl who experiences this beautiful city - an ongoing blog...

Why Do People Wear THAT When They Go Out?

* Women wear far 2 much black when they go out on the town. It makes them disappear; 2 become unnoticeable. I know black seems 2 B the new black... again..., but colour & pattern will always B noticed over black, especially by men, even if u like 2 think black gives u attitude or is 'fierce'. Girrls, there r 1000s of beautifully gorgeous colourful & patterned outfits & accessories out there 2 die 4 that will turn the heads of guys who look like Jake Wall on "Dancing On Ice", I'll betcha. Also, stop wearing tight jeans tucked into boots. U'll look like a whore! There's a reason men say they like 2 "go lookin' at the SKIRTS". Wearing 1 will draw them 2 u, particularly short or flippy 1s, unless u look over 50.

* Men always look good in a good suit, but 4 clubs or cool bars interestingly patterned shirts & even patterned trousers r great. Younger & less hairy guys should B bolder & even try sleeveless fitted tops & sexy non-undershirt singlets, which r allowed at most of the hipper bars & clubs in Melbourne. Tailored sneakers or sneaker-inspired shoes are good but not ones that look like u would wear them on a sprint track. Retro shirts look kookily hip & will draw admiring glances from cool girls at places like Seven niteclub, The Long Room, or HonkyTonks.

That's all I'll say 4 now. Tah tah, luvlees. Till next time, keep smooth,
