Hello strangers! How's things?

I've neglected Suicide Girls lately, well, modelling in general really. I've been putting all of my efforts into my jewellery and design work. It's going really slow due to the lack of funds but I'm putting every penny I get into it. I can't remember the last time I bought something for myself! Luckily my boyfriend can see my hunger and drive to make this work so he supports me by putting a roof over my head and feeding me Mac and Cheese. I'm too stubborn to let him help me with buying tools and stock, I want to be able to say I've truly done this on my own.

I'm enjoying discovering new places and inspirations, since starting the jewellery I've started going to more museums and exhibitions. If you know any cool and interesting, free or cheap places to visit in London please do tell!

So here's a little snippet of what I've been getting up to in picture form

I can't log in here without feeling inadequate lately.

Stupid, I know.

It's a nice feeling when you know where you're going in life. I don't think I've ever felt this content before. 'Love Lottey' has given me something to focus on, for once my life isn't all about my illnesses and people bringing me down with their negativity. I've found my passion now and whenever i think about the future and where it's going to take me i get butterflies.

Getting 'Love Lottey' up and running is a slow process because of the lack of money but i'm enjoying that, it's giving me time to really find out where i want to go with it. I'm doing my research, talking to other jewelry designers and taxidermists, finding amazing pieces to incorporate in my designs and just having fun with it. I visited the V&A Museum yesterday which always takes my breath away, very inspiring.

I've just booked me and the boy tickets to the 'Animal Inside Out' exhibition at the Natural History Museum. I finally get to see the works of the famous Bodyworlds team and the legendary Gunther von Hagens!!! I can't tell you how excited i am! I'm looking into working with wet specimens for 'Love Lottey' so i thought the exhibition would be great for some inspiration. Need to get my arse back to the Darwin Centre and the Hunterian Museum too. It's all go, go, go! I love it

In other news, i'm going to Italy in a few weeks time!! A well needed holiday for me and my man after the shit we've had thrown at us this past year or two. We kind of had a break with going to Amsterdam (twice this year haha) but it's not quite the same as staying in Italy. We'll be staying in the beautiful Orvieto for a few days in a stunning villa kitted out with it's own infinity pool and hot tub. It's a 20 minute walk to Lake Bolsena and Bolsena town. 'The lake has crystal clear water formed by a volcanic crater' Errr, heaven much? Then we travel to Rome to spend a few days there. If there's any place to be inspired it's going to be Rome.

Everything is perfect except for one thing....
I do not own this:



I must have this on my body!!!
