![]() This definition was re-affirmed in an interview with NME magazine: “it’s about being cool, laid-back, and also the electrical bananas that were appearing on the scene – which were ladies’ vibrators.” According to The Rolling Stone Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll, he admitted later the song made reference to a vibrator an “electrical banana” as mentioned in the lyrics. According to Donovan’s notes, accompanying the album Donovan’s Greatest Hits, the rumour that one could get high from smoking dried banana skins was started by Country Joe McDonald in 1966, and Donovan heard the rumour three weeks before “Mellow Yellow” was released as a single. The song was rumoured to be about smoking dried banana skins, which was believed to be a hallucinogenic drug in the 1960s, though this aspect of bananas has since been debunked. 1.) Outside the US, “Mellow Yellow” peaked at No. (Both Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys and Winchester Cathedral by The New Vaudeville Band kept it from hitting No. ![]() This is a typical envy evoking scenario.“ Mellow Yellow” is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. The second bad quality it brings out in me is envy (*the 6 th deadly sin*) I'm not even usually a envious person but when I hear stories of some of the places people I know have been to I cannot help but feel a teeny bit envious. Sometimes the frustration of not being able to do something I really want or having to wait for it leaves me feeling really down. Obviously due to time and money constraints I have to plan my travel in a considered manner when really I'd rather just back up tonight and be off travelling the world tomorrow. I think it's a good thing that I want to experience as much of the world as possible but I also think it's bringing out some not so great qualities in me.for one wanting something so badly can only leave you feeling disappointed when you don't get it or things don't go to plan. For some reason it has now become top on my list of things I want to do and of the utmost importance. Travelling - I actually think about travelling every single day now. Maybe she wanted to recreate an editorial look she'd seen in a magazine.but there's a time and a place for everything and the Primark customer services queue is definitely not the place! She just reminded me to be even more aware about the make I choose and not to wear too much of it because applied in the wrong way it really can make you look terrible. With this girl however there was no appreciation or understanding from me! She looked like she was going to a Halloween party.masses of blue of eyeshadow, big false spider leg look-a-like lashes and a ton of black eyeliner is not the best look for a spring day. Now even when I'm not a fan of a certain look I can usually see where the person is coming from and appreciate it's appeal. I can't imagine what she was thinking when she applied it thought that it was appropriate and then left the house. The reason this was on my mind today as whilst shopping on Oxford Street I saw a girl with the most ridiculous make up on. 1 is that make up should ALWAYS without a shadow of a doubt make you look better NEVER worse or what is the point of wearing it. The primary reason for make up is to enhance your natural beauty and just add that little but extra but for me rule no. Make Up - The majority of girls I know wear some make up at least some the time (myself included). However I actually considered it to be quite an important decision as people tend to gauge your personality somewhat from first impressions and speaking to people they've told me that they tend to perceive a woman differently when she wears glasses so I wanted to make sure I got some that complimented my personality perfectly! Eventually I decided on one really funky 'kitsch' pair and a more conventional one (for work and so forth) I pick them up next week so I'll post pics :) You wouldn't have thought it would have taken so long I mean it's only a pair of glasses which I won't even be wearing all the time. ![]() Honestly I was in that shop for ages trying to pick the perfect balance between 'sexy secretary' and 'nerdy' chic'. There were sooooo many frames to pick from and they do a 2 for 1 deal so I had to choose 2. Glasses - I had to take a trip to the opticians today as I needed some new glasses, I only have to wear them when partaking in certain activities but I was still really excited cause I haven't had a new pair in ages.
