Fan Girl Moment 101:TLC are coming to Australia!

Yes, you read that correctly! 

If, like me you were lucky enough to live through the 90s, at one stage you probably went to bed hoping you would awake as an African American female vocalist. 

Let's be honest, you probably still do, BEYONCE MUCH?! 

Australia's music scene has never been short of excitement, but as someone who sang all the wrong lyrics to "Waterfall***" as a kid, I'm happy to rectify my mistakes on Friday, the 6th of June. 

The duo, will be performing at The Enmore Theatre in Sydney for one night only! 

Details for the national tour are as follows:

Friday, 6th of June Enmore Theatre, Sydney 
Saturday, 7th of June Eatons Hall, Brisbane 
Wednesday, 11th of June, Palais Theatre, Melbourne
Friday, 13th of June, Metro City, Perth

Tickets are available for purchase as of Thursday 24th of April. 

I'll leave you with one of my favourite songs. Warning, you'll probably have it on repeat for the remainder of your week. 

***Yes the lyrics I used to sing were "Don't go Jason Waterfall." Thanks to the wise ears of my girl band obsessed friends, I now know the girls were suggesting that you "Don't go chasing waterfalls."

I've been MIA. But with good reason, I promise! #LifeUpdate

Hi lovers,

It's been a while!

I wont lie, in between the Christmas break the past few months I've been a busy bee. Undertaking everything from a Masters Degree, to low-carb diets, straight through to bridesmaid duties-my baby sister from another mister is getting married, whooot whooot!

I've missed the blogosphere, but have admittedly been ridiculously active on Instagram and Twitter, so feel free to follow me and take pleasure in a good few hours of stalking. 

However, one of the most exciting projects I’ve been working on is one that I've been putting off for years. No, I'm not getting a nose job. Thank God my Woggy genes don't consist of massive noses. I am however, finally putting my verbal diarrhoea to good use by partnering up with an old Uni buddy and producing our very own weekly radio show. 

We've called it The # Carlos and Abi Show. Yes, you read that right. "The HASHTAG, Carlos and Abi Show." 

It's an easy listening show if I do say so myself, with content mostly based around all things popular culture. 

Enough bias bullsh*t from me though, because it's taken us a while, but with the use of Carlos' handy MAC, we've managed to record our very own podcast! Enjoy putting a voice to the words, and selfie-featuring face to the Wogarella you currently know. I doubt you would expect any less huskiness, ha!

*Carlos and I being Boofheads in the studio

Be sure to tune in to Triple H Fm on Mondays between 7pm-8pm. PS next Monday, Carlos and I will be speaking to the lovely Joelle (X Factor) about her latest single, her insanely fabulous brows, and any other inappropriate questions I'm sure we will come up with. So, with Tabouli in hand, set your Tune In Radio App to the 100.1FM frequency, and enjoy the show!

PSS If you're feeling extra charitable/sociable, feel free to give us a call on 8086 1900. 

Wogarella,

2013 VMA Vault of Awkwardness Continues

Just a few short hours ago celebs were tweeting their way onto the VMA's Red Carpet.

As usual this awards show didn't disappoint, sure there were great performances by the likes of Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga, but there were also a few shudder-worthy moments to add to the VMA Vault of Awkwardness. 

I'm putting it out there, Miley Cyrus needs to get off the "Molly". I've spoken of Miley's weirdish behaviour once before here.

But she's absolutely cracked it this time. A few highlights include the crotch grab, frolicking around stage twerking in front of Robin Thicke's man parts and her very-average live voice (no surprises there right?) 

I actually can't even deal with Taylor Swift’s reaction when her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles took to the stage. The bitter beauty has been captured mouthing off to bestie Selena Gomez, as you do when your ex is within the same vicinity. Every time I look at this gif I’m in stitches! It’s even funnier because Selena is obviously onto the shifty cameraman and is trying to play it cool. Great move Sel, great move!

Just in case Harry didn’t get the kick to his groin the first time around, Taylor also thanked "the person who inspired this song [Styles], because now I have one of these".


A full list of winners can be found here.

Do you think the VMA’s lived up to the hype?

Wogarella,

Miley, You Can Stop

Miley Cyrus, I put up with your accent during Hannah Montana because I'm a Disney fan. I loved "The Last Song" because it was based on a Nicholas Sparks novel and featured none other than Liam Hemsworth the babe. In fact, I won't lie, I'm 23 years old and "The Climb" is one of my favourite songs to belt out in the car whilst sitting in Sydney's revolting traffic situation.


But one thing I do not like, is your hair. Soz, I just don’t.

It’s okay though, who am I to judge? You’re obviously going through something traumatic in your life. Or maybe, just like every other woman out there, you just wanted a change.


Regardless, you hair isn’t really why I’m writing this blog. You see your try-hard, wannabe; OTT film clip actually kills my life. The whole Faux Lesbian girl thing has to go. I like that you’re edgy, but if you’re not careful it can lead to tacky.


The song however, couldn’t annoy me if it was on repeat for two weeks. True story, yes I’ve had it on repeat, what of it?! I absolutely ADORE the song. It's the best radio song to come out since Taylor Swift's catchy, yet winey "Weeeee are never, ever, everrrr, getting back together!!"


Enough fan-girling here. What I’m trying to say is, Miley, I understand you're trying to find your feet; I really do, but please stop trying to be a mix of Rihanna and Lady Gags.


I hope you’re not offended. We can totes still ride horses together (at Billy Ray Cyrus’ Ranch) in the summer time, or even sniff some coke if that’s what you’re into these days. **


Check out the vid below.












Are you a fan of slobbering Miley?

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,
