One sentence of advice:

If you want to maintain a healthy sleeping schedule and keep all of your sanity, never commit to making a book.

Here is my face, that is all.

After three long years, I shot not one but TWO SG sets and I can't wait to share them. I'm crazy busy at the moment with finishing my degree, finishing my book, shooting and trying to be a decent human being. Also, happy 5 year Suicidegirls anniversary to me last week!

LA (and the rest of my UFO trip) was amazing, of course, and I got to hang out with a whole house full of SG megababes in London last month.

I'll update better soon, I promise. Here are some drawings and photos.


Love you all. xx

I'm coming up to my five year anniversary on the site. So much has happened in that time and this site has been here every step of the way More pressingly though, I am well overdue a new profile picture I think.

What one do you guys like the most?














And hello in my underwear


Kisses!

Because I'm a crazy person, I'm planning to fly to California on either the 24th of February or the 19th of March for two weeks to meet people who believe in supernatural phenomenons and UFOs and make an illustrated book about it. If any of you guys know anyone I should meet, or if you want to come with me or meet me and tell me a story, let me know and I'll pencil you in! Also looking to shoot whilst I'm out there, So if any photographers in southern California and maybe Arizona want to shoot, email me I should have a car and will be driving a lot, so can go via where you are for the most part.

Here is my face:



Here is a drawing I did:

Hope to see some of you guys soon!

IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!! I've been super busy, as always. Mainly in and out of hospital and drawing lots and trying to tackle the hell that is my dissertation. I've started shooting again and a new set is in the pipeline for 2013.

I learnt a lot of lessons this year. Mainly to appreciate the amazing friends I have and that I can be an absolute wanker sometimes. Less of that next year.

As always, I am very grateful to the site for all of the support I've had through the last few months. Looking forward to (fingers crossed) getting the all clear in the new year.

Some photos now because words are boring:

























I had the lovely chloe over to stay and we took goofy photos.



And saw the fabulous Bow and Disco





Bow's amazing Pomeranian in a hot dog outfit!



Merry Christmas all,

I have a choice to make every single day.

Pain is a funny thing, it is different for everyone, it's partly a state of mind, partly just a neurological response. And quicker than anything, pain becomes a memory. Pain fades. Even hours after the pain is gone, it's almost impossible to accurately pinpoint how bad it was. It's usually remembered most by how you described it to others at the time and the lengths that you would have gone to for it to end. Pain is easily forgotten until you experience it again.

And up until this point in my life I have completely taken this for granted. I've not understood what it was like for that pain to just never go away. My choice is either to be in constant pain whilst also taking a fabulous cocktail of medication and opioid analgesic painkillers or to be in considerably less pain but be so high on extra opiate painkillers that I don't function as a human being. Obviously there are occasions where I take the extra medication and the pain still doesn't go away, and then I'm unable to walk or talk because of the meds and I'm still in pain, so that's fun.

But basically, I wish I'd understood how easy I'd had it all those years without this. I wish I'd woken up every day and thought, man it feels good not to be sick. Or, I am so happy and lucky to be healthy and not in pain. But I didn't, and I'd do anything to get that back. I'd give everything for this pain to be a memory.

I miss being a normal 22 year old who has her photo taken for a living.

Send me stories to read. What's the worst pain you guys have ever been in?

kisses always.

Being sick has taught me that I am pretty ok with my own company.

I've been drawing and selling my work and watching a hell of a lot of breaking bad to plug the loss of Doctor Who.
I've watched all four and a half seasons in just over a week. Accomplishment at its finest.

I am easing back into using the site, a lot has changed but I love the style of sets that are going up now and I really like the feel of the site.

The doctors have told me that I can't eat sugar or white flour or coffee or alcohol (which i don't drink anyway) and I am currently mourning the lack of chocolate brownies in my life but hey. I bought some diabetic chocolate today and it is AMAZING. So I will start baking with that instead, but still. No more pancakes, it's a sad world.

Some new drawings:


I shoot a lot with tomisokreally and he's great and he's new here, go say hey.


Also a lookbook for Evie Knight Vintage

and a feature for Institute magazine this month


Thanks for all the suggestions for my dissertation! I've taken a couple of topics on board and i've started reading and I'll make a decision really soon, seriously thank you!

Kisses kisses x

This week has been a week of new beginnings. Last weekend I slipped back into my Suicide Girl skin to work at the London tattoo convention and it all came back to me. Exactly why I fell in love with this site, and I fell in love with every girl I met on the booth, every enthusiastic member that came to say hey, every gorgeous hopeful that dropped by, every person I got the chance to sell suicidegirls to as a lifestyle. I fell in love with all of it.

I haven't said it in a really long time, but it's not that I haven't felt it; I am proud to be a Suicide Girl.

And guys, I really mean that. But hey, sappiness aside- I give you some photos:





I had to go to hospital on the saturday afternoon which was really really unfortunate as I totally didn't want to leave but I had some problems with my platelets and you can't say no to platelets, they are mean. So, this week I'm happily recovering from the gazillion medical procedures and poking and prodding and I'm trying to not fail my third year of university and I'm trying to find a topic to write my dissertation on. Any suggestions are warmly welcomed. Seriously.

I haven't really been drawing, I've done a little bit of shooting and a few things I shot a while back were published last week so I can go all show and tell on you guys. I'm pretty sure I was naughty and posted them way back when anyway, even though I wasn't supposed to. Oops.

Anyway, these were published in Nous magazine in September:



and also this is my face:


Selling my artwork prints off my etsy shop here

for instance:

And I'm still mourning for The Ponds so if anyone is a fellow Doctor Who fan and is still crying about it, send me a message and we can cry about it together.

Annnnnnd my instagram is @lyvialexandra and I always appreciate pictures of small or fluffy animals. Preferably both. Also boobs.

I love you guys.
