I'm sorry, I just had to blog about my SuicideGrislfanpagefeaturednessness!!
I've always wanted to be featued. But you know, I did realise I only had a 1 in 2 330(or something) chance. And now TADA!!
Anyway, thanks to the powers that govern for making my day.
It's ironic that they'd put my picture under a quote saying:
"You're never fully dressed without a smile." -Martin Charnin
Because I hate smiling.. especially in photo's
Of course, a few idiots had to go and almost ruin it for me EG:
"I mean she is just way too preppy looking. If I went to a rock show and saw this chick in the pit. I'd have to walk out just to see if I went to the right concert."
Really? You've seen preppy chicks with blue hair and multiple facial piercings?!?!
"That lip piercing is probably fake. That is not a SG girl. That is a dorm girl."
Rofl. No comment.
"This chick is garbage"
Ouch.
"Beautiful black girl. The only thing that wud ruin it is if she had a ghetto as fucked up attitude . Sinse were goin all racist. That's my only complaint against blacks is the meaness and bad attitude. But y'all can dance and sing though so it's all good"
Yes. There always has to be ONE racial comment.
Of course, that just set everyone off.......
Anyway.. there were the redeeming few..
"This chick is one of my all time favorite SGs. Who couldn't love that face? gorgeous!"
"OH WOW. just......WOW. boo-ti-ful! ♥"
And my favourite:
"She's gorgeous!! Screw the omg she black!, comments. Pretty for a black girl. Go fuck yourselves. You would never have a chance with a beautiful girl like this. She's perfect. "
So.. it looks like this pic is going to be the most well-known from my set..
I've even been drawn!!
:
That was pretty awesome.. I've always wanted to be drawn
Okay..
Moving on. I'm getting more ink next week wednesday.
VERY exctited!!
Just not so much for the pain. Been kinda putting it off cause of how bad my chest hurt
Pics coming soon, so watch this space!
There are 2 things in my life that make me happy right now.
Suicide Girls and thisguyImetwhosenameIwon'tmentioncauseIdon'twannaembarasshimbuthe'sreallyamazing..
So thank you all for putting a smile on my face. And for giving me more and more reasons to keep it there
Remember:
"You're never fully dressed without a smile." -Martin Charnin
(Yes, I just had to
)I love you all
It's scary. I'd forgotten what happiness felt like. Or what it felt like to not cry myself to sleep every night, or to actually have something (or someone) to look forward to...
Scary stuff.
Anyway.. I've decided to make more friends on here so don't be surprised when I start posting random comments on all your blogs.
So far, I've made like less than twenty friends here. Partly cause I'm shy
But the people I do speak to regularly are SO nice!!
Anyway, that's all I wanted to share. I wanted to tell you all that I'm happy.
SuicideGirls is changing my life, one day at a time...
(Yes yes, you know who you are)
Love you all!! Mwa!!
So I had a moment just now when I saw a funny spot thing on my profile pic then I realised it's a balloon hahahaha..
Anyway, where to begin..
Following a request for more pics of me..
I've been kitchen training myself as of late.. You know, in my quest to one day become the perfect wife..
So some of you might not know that I'm into the whole "Purity" thing..
Last year, I decided to try a no drinking no smoking no drugs no sex campaign..
So I guess that's it for this week's installment
Hope you all enjoyed reading my ramblings on
Til next time..
Mwa, I love you all
I'm so happy I just wanna run around hugging and kissing everyone
This might be a long one..
Firstly, I'd like to comment on the Front Page choices made by the powers that govern over the past month..
Oh.. I'm turning twenty next week wednesday..
It makes me sad to think that I'm not a teenager anymore. Now I have to be all responsible and stuff
MAJOR sadness going on here..
I don't think I even enjoyed being a teenager really. I was one of those kids who was in such a hurry to grow up. Now I am and I wanna be young again!!
Also.. Now that exams are over, I should resume my inkness.. I still wanna get those flowers on my hips..
Lillies. They're supposed to symbolise purity and such.
But I'll explain that later
And I also just wanna mention how much I absolutely LOVE my fellow SG sisters. I've been sneaking on during my exams just so I could post in the Suicide Girls Lounge group. And you girls are all pretty amazing.
And supportive. It's like having a thousand older sisters
Okay, I think I'm done now.
Will maybe make another post on my birthday next week.
Love you all
I'm not running away cause I went pink, I SWEAR!!
It's just that I have exams for the next few weeks. So now, instead of being on here for an hour and a half everyday, I'll only be on one day a week maybe for an hour (I know, I'm probably gonna go through withdrawl
)Anyway, let's make this one count..
SHOCKER!!
I'm jumping out of my skin to shoot again.. It's like I was born to be photographed..
Last night I wrote a poem..
Society may choose to never
Understand our cause
I know that we refuse to ever
Cast aside our beliefs for yours
Independent, brazen too
Dare to bare for all to see
Every piercing and tattoo
Gives us freedom to redefine beauty
Irreristably rebellious
Raising the finger to mediocrity
Love and hope forever bind us
Suicide Girls we'll always be!!
Byebye everybunny.. try not to miss me too much
Anyway, quiite a lot to talk about today...
This weekend, I was out celebrating my official SuicideGirlnessness..
In the spirit of giving back, I've decided to start recruiting Hopefuls.
Okay.. NEW DISCOVERY!!
I know I souldn't, but I went through my picture comments on Facebook today.. I was curious..
As to be expected, I got the "where's all the ink", and the "wrong skin colour" comments..
But a lot of random people said some really nice things..
Like "I wanna knock up her face".. very nice thinks indeed
Hahaha okay.. before I bore you all, I'm gonna end it there..
Oh and thanks again for all the comments on my set..
You're all very near and dear to my heart
Much love
+offers everyone some tissues+
Almost a year ago today, I was participating in an alternative pageant with Tarion. I was all giddy because I'd never seen a SuicideGirl in person before and she was (and still is) my absolute idol
Anyway, whilst in the dressing room, I was spotted by the roaming eye of Talamia who immediately ran up to me and began selling me on the idea of becoming a SuicideGirl..
At the time, the very idea was laughable.
Growing up as a shy and socially awkward teen, being a SuicideGirl became the epitome of womanhood in my eyes. I fantasised about what it would be like to have the guts to do something so brave..
I mean, when I was fifteen, piercing my ears was the pinnacle of rebellion to me.
So there I was, four years later, having someone trying to sell me on a dream I'd been holding for the entirety of my adolescent life.
So I mumbled out some ill-formed excuses about not having proper photo's to submit and Talamia in true Talamia fashion, whipped out her camera right there, and took aphoto..
And so I applied.. I didn't expect much of it..
But, within two hours, I was accepted.
Shock of all shocks..
Still, it was all too good to be true. So I kinda dragged my feet through the application process..
And then, when I eventually got round to shooting my set, and saw the pictures.. I was SO stunned.
It was extremely surreal to see an image of my face attached to a SuicideGirls watermark..
It took me back to the days when I would Google images of SuicideGirls and daydream what it'd be like to be one of them.
And now. I am.
Some girls dream of Broadway, of Hollywood or the Academy awards.
SuicideGirls was and is my Broadway stage.
So, again ,thank you.
It's still sinking in..
Yesterday, one of the girls accepted my friend request on FaceBook and I was jumping up and down going "oh my God she's talking to me and she's a SuicideGirl !!"
Until my brother looked at me like I'm crazy and said:
"But.. so are you.."
Firstly, to the powers that govern, thank you SO much for choosing me out of hundreds of other girls who are just as equally deserving of this opportunity.
You're in the business of making dreams come true..
To the other South African girls, thank you for the endless support and encouragement.
I feel like I'm FINALLY getting to sit at the "cool table" in the lunch room..
And, of course, to everyone who commented and voted for my set.
You guys and dolls have no idea how much this means to me.
Thank you for believing in me.
I feel smothered with love
A lot of people have asked me what I'm going to do now that I've achieved my goal... And if I plan on calling it quits..
And naturally, my reply is
"Are you kidding me?? This is only the beginning. From here, the only way is up!!"
Thank you everyone, watch this space!!
It takes A LOT to make me speechless...
I will make another blog later. But. From the very bottom of my heart.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY SET IS GOING UP TOMORROW!!
I suppose the relative obscurity I've enjoyed on this site up until now has officially come to an end..
But I'm not sad, bcause it's the beginning of something new
So, I guess I should say something about it..
They say a shoot isn't worth it unless you leave with a story and my Suicide Girls shoot was definitely something to remember..
Being here has already been such a great experience. The people have all been great (especially my fellow South Africans) and I just love the vibe..
I'm CLEARLY no longer a newbie as this week I FINALLY learnt how to use the "member name" and "spoiler" functions thanks to some friendly inboxed instructions from a few site members (see how nice these people are??? )
So, that's it for now.
I really hope everyone enjoys my set. It is, after all, for you
My my how time flies...
Hope everyone's getting good and excited..
Interesting week so far.. Though I'm pretty sure I didn't have as much fun as the other SouthAfrican SG's had last weekend..
Sniff
+insert jealousy here+Buuuut.. Funny story.. I got into this arguement with my baby brother who insisted that modelling is easy..
And I told him how painful it is to hold an uncomfortable pose for extended periods of time..
Long story short, he ends up trying to hold a pose for five minutes.. Naturally just to torture him, I chose one of Miss Mosh's most brutal.. And whilst he thought I was timing him, I was actually taking photo's..
]
I'll be honest though, he held it a heck of a lot longer than I ever could've..
Yesterday, my pretty friend Ally and I made a visit to Cue's Tattoos parlour..
(my home away from home
)
she had touch up's done on this adorable cat tattoo she has on her ankle..
And had some stuff added on to the stunning butterfly tat on her back..
Not to be outdone.. yours truly got a flower vine tattooed across my chest..
I won't even lie.. it hurt like a +insert censored words here+
Note: I'm only smiling because that's what happens when there's camera pointed at my face.. It's a knee-jerk reaction
Here's the finished outline..
And the finished product..
I really REALLY love it
It's part of a set so I'm going back tomorrow to get more flowers on my hips.. wish me luck
Will post pics very soonish.. Until then..
Peace
