I think this week deserves a great, big, resounding WTF?!! For all of you Perth people I think we can all agree that the weather is enough to drive anyone mad - Summer's here... no it's not... now it's raining... now it's stinking hot.... oh please weather gods make up your mind!!! As it so happens, while I was sketching out this weeks illustration it was feeling a bit like summer so a beach theme was more than appropriate! This luscious lady was  going to be "fun", but now I've finished her I don't think that title really matches her persona, do you? So for now she will simply be my Beach Babe. All suggestions for a better title are welcome!

And yes - I did have to fight the urge to put her in a yellow-polka-dot bikini!

So what else made me feel all OMGWTFBBQ?!?11!?!! this week? My car! I really shouldn't bag it so much....maybe it heard me the last time and that's what caused all of my mechanical woes! I have seen Herbie, you know. Anyway, on my way to my much loved Hoola Hooping class (hey, everyone needs a hobby!) at the Burlesque Lounge in the city, my darling little car decided it wanted to dance most of the way there. No seriously, if didn't know better I'd say it was bustin' out a few hip hop moves there! This, of course, isn't quite how it should be working (no matter how stylish it thought it was) so I started heading back home. Epic Fail. Hello roadside assistance. But fear not readers, this story has a happy ending! My local mechanic can now afford a really fancy pair of coveralls. Lucky him.

It's not all bad news though! Just found out today that I have a been allocated a spot at the Kalamunda Karnivale so that all of my W.A readers can check out my wares in real life...see all the glitter sparkle, smell the yummy candles... at my very own stall. It's not until Nov 29th though so I'll post more info on the whole kaboodle at little closer to the date. Just in time to pick up a spiffy little Christmas gift! I can't wait!
