Hi. My name is Cara but I like to call myself Ruby Velour.

I am mostly shy, with an obnoxious streak. I am obsessed with the colours pink and black, it’s all I wear and colour of my hair. I am passionate about music, film, fashion and almost anything creative. I’m a dreamer and a hopeless optimist, but I do have a little bit of emo tucked away somewhere (though I’ll deny it passionately if you ever asked me about it). I love tattoos and dancing and poodles (sometimes all at once) and am very good at creative swearing and inappropriate fist shaking.

I’ve done a decent amount of traveling, living in London for some time, with much more planned. I work for a music company in the sunny city of Brisbane where’s it always hot and I’m always whinging about it. When not at work making a humble living I am out and about spending all my money at locals bars and clubs or on fabulous new dresses. I also dabble in graphic design and have organised a few events in Brisbane, such a the Brisbane Zombie Walk (http://www.brisbanezombiewalk.com). I live in the entertainment district of Brisbane which just about sums me up perfectly: I love entertainment.

This blog is not intended to be exhilarating reading because I am not famous and don’t do shocking, awe-inspiring things with myself (usually). But I love to live life as fabulously as possible and then write about them in such a way to make myself sound as thrilling as I like to think I am ;)
