Wogarella: Call me Vlog-arella!


Lovers, today I would like to share with you my latest venture. You see, last night I ventured into the Video blogging territory, better known as "Vlogging". Yes, I popped my cherry. And now I'm thinking that I am an absolute twit for not having started earlier! 

The thing is, I'm a writer, always have been and probably always will be. Before I realised I was a writer I was (and still am) an avid reader. I'm also a viewer, (Shamelessly admit to watching Taylor Swift fan videos.)  So I figured, that with my Macbook in hand, I would hover over the iMovie application and and actually make use of my boisterous personality, which I hope comes across through my writing. 

On the Band Wagon:


I'm aware that Vlogging isn't something new and have always considered it, but the catalyst for my entry into the youtube-loving-life was an application to become a reader reviewer/vlogger for all 'round expert website rescu.com.au. It's no secret that I'm a  little beauty obsessed, so when the opportunity arose to apply for this role, I jumped on it as soon as I could! 

The Vid:


I'm sure you're itching to hear the voice behind Wogarella, so here it is:







What do you think? It's my first Vlog, so I was a little shy. Your feedback is more than welcome!


Ps I know there is a random red screen that pops up initially, but please ignore it as I'm still figuring out how to use iMovie ha.


Wogarella,

Xx

Open Letter to Taylor Swift



Taylor Swift: Marry DateEd Sheeran, why don’t you!

It’s nosecret that I have a BIG LESBIAN CRUSH* on Taylor Swift. I have always admiredher gorgeous looks and witty little remarks. Her YouTube videos are quite thecack! Often people ask me why, I as a Wogarella, who is usually such a homie,and counts Boys To Men and Mariah Carey as music’s finest artists happen to bedrawn to Taylor’s music.
There are a number of contributingfactors. But the most essential one is her ability to write honest, songs. I’mnot talking about “Love Story” or “Never Ever Getting Back Together” here. Thegirl has the ability to tell a story, she captures my emotions with thesincere, sometimes harsh words, which in conjunction with a delightful melody,takes me to another place.
And for a while I’ve beencopping it as a self confessed Swiftie, I don’t care. Maybe Taylor enjoysdating man after man. It’s her choice. I’m not here to stick up for her andsadly her moments of despair and sadness only bring her fans more incrediblesongs. It’s pretty selfless if you ask me!
Anyway, I got to thinking… Is there amale equivalent of T-swizzle? I’m not sure; would you judge these male artistson the quality of their voice? Their live performances, perhaps? Or maybe theircute film clips? I know, I can’t rank them based on their looks. But after muchdeliberation, I believe that Mr Ed Sheeren is the boy version of Taylor.
Funnily enough, they are incrediblytalented, hard working and just downright lovable! They've writtenand released a song together; I've posted it for those of you who havebeen living under a rock.

What did you think? Lovely isn’t it?Easy listening.





If I could write Taylor anopen letter I would say his:
Yo Tswizzle,
Love your guts. I saw youlive in Sydney April 2012. You made my year :)
Just a quick note, quitdating these pretty boy twelvie-type boys. Man up and hook in with the world’smost lovable Ranga! Ed Sheeren.
Oh and P.S. Thanks forinspiring my non-existent love life!
Much love,
Wogarella xx

Could you imagine if Miss.Tay-Tay andEd Sheeren were a couple? I can see them now, living happily ever after withthree lanky, ranga kids roaming the streets of Nashville in summer, andavoiding a bashing in wintery Manchester. All I know is the music would befabulous. Whether they went out for a year, or had an eternal romance.
What do you think? Am I a little tooobsessed? Have I listened to too many Taylor/Ed Sheeran songs back to back?

*That was a Mean Girls quote. Not sofunny when you have to explain it, dummy!
 Wogarella,
