Cut Collective

I love Cut Collective, a group of artists in Auckland who focus on street art and stencil projects... I found a gem on K'Road last week...




So true... ;)

Rangitoto... I finally looked into a volcano!

So, I look at Rangitoto all the time from Auckland City. It is the city's youngest and largest volcano. (Auckland has about 50 in total) ...And today, me and my friend Laura hiked it! (Sweet As! That's Kiwi for "cool")
This is Laura, or as I like to call her, Lady Lala

Volcanic rock crumbles everywhere...


This is a lava cave, and Laura made me go in it!
Lala! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Creepy and awesome!
The summit, this is the top of a volcano. Also called the crater! Rad!

View of the city from the top~!

P.S. Here is a map of the volcanoes that surround me! Crazy! They are literally what formed and shape Auckland. (Rangitoto is at the top!)

GAGA AKL

I put on my bow, my PNKC dress for good vibes, and my new tutu... and its Gaga time...
It started with a shadow-
And in no exact order.... the crazy costumes began... I only have a few pics and they do absolutely NO justice for the show, but hey its a peek! Here she is in a full on costume that resembled a flat mop:
You can see her piano starting to burn as she played 2 ballads and sang her heart out...
Giant monster puppet- looked like one of those deep sea fishes with spider legs that her dancers moved around!!

Here she plays what looks like a wacky 80s guitar, buts its actually a keyboard set to a guitar sound!!!
Gaga in the crowd on a catwalk...
This was an animatronic dress that moved and she rose up on this platform- great view for the crowd...

This is the monsterball costume that looks like orbiting rings around Gaga

Volcano Drawing Started...

"It feels like every hill in Auckland may be a volcano"
