First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes a little fanged creature in the baby carriage

So guys, the Twilight Saga will be continuing very soon and I know lots of people are very excited about this. I know I am, mainly as I am interested in how they play out the book as it irritated me alot and consists of lots of sex. Now, I know people say that sex sells film but seriously, rampant vampire sex, could be interesting to say the least and the normal family orientated films may have to be boosted in ratings.

Anyway, in a recent interview with Chicago Sun Times, K-Stew and R-Pattz, as they are now commonly known were interviewed on the film and I have chosen some of my favourite segments from the interview for you guys to read.

“I’m curious to see how it will carry out,” star Robert Pattinson tells the Sun-Times. “This movie is so different from the other ones. The stakes are so much higher because now it’s time to turn the entire saga upside down.”
And then there is the matter of Bella’s baby bump. “The birth scene is frightening,” Pattinson admits. “It’s a slap in the face. It’s failure to Edward, who has to choose between losing Bella and transforming her. It’s the toughest scene I’ve ever had to film in my career because this choice tears out my heart.”
Not since the Kardashian wedding has there been such a rapid tying of the knot. Stewart admits, “I was racing down the aisle during the first few takes because I was eager to get the two of them married.” Pattinson says, “We saved shooting the actual wedding for last because it was so important. We needed to be immersed in it.” 



I cannot wait for this, the only question I have is are they going to do the "Jacob" section? I'm not sure how I feel about this because the first time reading the book I thought it was completely unnecessary and to be honest I skipped it, but then went back and reread.

Below I am placing some of the stills because this is so exciting to me, so please enjoy.

 Hope you are looking forward to it as much as I am...

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

I have already blogged today, but I have something I want to get off of my chest. This blog is going to be a personal one but I think it is the only way I can deal what exactly has gone on in my life over the last couple of months.

My family and I have always been close, no matter how much they get on my nerves, and recently my Dad got diagnosed with cancer. Hearing this, i was upset and didn't know how to deal with what was happening. It was a pure coincidence that they found out about the tumor he had in his kidney and I'm so thankful to the doctor who sent him for the tests, even though it was unrelated.

My Dad went and got the operation to remove the tumor and it turned out they had to remove the whole kidney. I was just glad it was something that he could live with only one of. He came out and I got told the truth about his operation which I found hard to handle. During the operation he had tomhave blood transfusions and it was really difficult to hear. I know people go through this all the time but when it's someone you know it's completely different.

To hats pretty much all I have to say and if anybody actually read this and cares my Dad's getting better now and has the all clear which makes me super happy. Now we just have to wait and see.

Dancing with Myself

NEWSFLASH: Rachael has a new obsession!

I go through a fair few obsessions but this is the latest one. LA Ink, Miami Ink and NY Ink. I had heard about these shows before but because we have only recently got sky never watched the wonder of these shows (also Ace of Cakes but thats a whole different blog). 

For a phase of my life I wanted to work in a tattoo parlor (handed in CV's, the lot, but heard nothing back) and to a certain extent I still do. I love the creativity behind it and hearing the stories behind each individual tattoo. I honestly believe each tattoo should have its own story or there is no point in having it, hence why I don't have any yet. I also believe that each tattoo should be individual to that person and that work shouldn't be copied. My latest idea for a tattoo was to get similar tattoos with my friends that are Calladgh tattoos. This is a special ring that are normally given to friends to show that your friendship is true and strong (something similar to the example below). However, I still need to discuss this properly with them.

Back to the actual purpose of the blog, as I have once again gone of topic with an anecdote. Actually as I am writing this blog I am watching Miami Ink, so at least I'm going to have plenty of inspiration at this moment in time. I find it really inspiring how the people who work in these shops can just pick up a pen and draw whatever it is that people are wanting. I would love to be able to do this so confidently.

LA Ink is my favourite as I absolutely idolise Kat von D. I love the work she does and the whole look she has going on. In one episode she shows her leg which is pretty much just a tattoo doodle board for her friends to draw on. To be honest, i love her fashion sense that she has as well and if I could pull off the cropped tops and bikinis, I would wear them all the time (weather in Aberdeen might have something to do with it).The studio that they work in is stunning and very girly and when I saw it, I wanted to start up my own business to decorate it and have something to be proud of.

When I was younger I had the perfect tattoo I wanted but I just had to wait until I turned 18. It was Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas inside a thorny heart with Blink 182 lyrics "We can be like Jack and Sally if you want to..." surrounding the outside of the heart. I still kind of want it, but I worry about the day that I might regret it and then be stuck with it for life. I suppose I will just need to think about things and then I will be able to commit to the design I want. 

Watching the shows really makes me want to get a tattoo but at the current time I am a blank canvas, however I can see that changing in the future. We shall see...

From Paris With Love

Hello people. It's been a long time. I'm finally able to get onto a computer and to do a proper post (unlike normal on the iPad, someone needs to develop a blogger app I think).

So, during the holidays I went to Paris for a week. It was the most amazing experience of my life. The BF and I stayed in this amazing hotel that was about a 20 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. We must of visited it nearly every day. Everyone had said to me that it was an amazing city, but for some reason I didn't know what to expect and to start with it didn't feel like I was away from home. That was until I got my first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.

It was such a beautiful place. We got attacked by the people who sell items under the tower a few times. Once was these guys who made bracelets and kept telling us not to worry and repeated "Hakuna Matata" over and over. The other was by a guy with a rose (pictured above).

One of the days we were there, we witnessed a photoshoot of a designer. It was definately something as not every day you get to sit between the Eiffel Tower and a photoshoot.

Such an amazing experience

Along with going to the Eiffel Tower, we did lots of the usual Pari trips - The Catacombs, Moulin Rouge, Disneyland and the Louvre. Each of these have a little funny annecdote with them so I shall share a few.

The Catacombs were amazing. I had been wanting to visit them since I was very young. It was terrifying to start with (after queueing for hours) and we had to have a torch light help us wonder through as part of the tunnels weren't open to the public due to repairs that needed doing. When we got the the skulls and stuff I was in my element and the 13yearold goth I once was came back alive. When you leave the Catacombs you have to get your back checked as people sometimes steal the bones and we got told about someone the previous day trying to steal 3 skulls and some other bones. This I thought was strange but the guy said it would be to try and sell on the black market or something.



The Louvre was a beautiful place and like every other tourist we headed straight for the Mona Lisa and was disappointed like every one else. It is such a huge hype over nothing. Anyway, we headed downstairs and I was really looking forward to a couple of the other exhibits but the BF didn't realise this and headed straight out the door not realising. Oh well, I'll just have to go back another time.

Till next time my lovelys. =)
