Well hello there! Here's moi, finally got a minute at the pc, should really take advantage of it and enlighten everyone of the great adventures I've recently undertaken... No, seriously
Ok, you've got me, I've done near to nothing that's worth mentioning, except for maybe going to Rubber Ball, there's a pre-pic (for the ignorant, there are draconian rules of no cameras inside in case you'll snap a high-flying exec getting his fat arse spanked in a Darth Vader outfit)

On the whole, the night itself wasn't smashing as there weren't that many people, suppose TG the night before is to blame. I had a bomb of the time tho! You're not allowed to see the full outfit, as you might see it later in full glory... If you know what I mean...Met vicky on the same night, however deeply meaningful conversations were off the menu by that point... Glamorous Marilyn that she is
EDIT: Deary me, I just keep remembering more and more things from that night... I cannot believe I discussed EU migration with a random bloke... Just the sort of stuff you do in a fetish night... I'd rather remember I spanked that exec I mentioned above!
Shall I even mention a VEERYYY belated thanks for all the commens on my Smoker set - I loved shooting it, even tho I wasn't a smoker anymore! Ah, the irony, the amount of negative comments I got: "...fagz stink don't you know", "... you just ruined an otherwise perfect set with cigarettes" etc and I don't even smoke! Some people really need to lighten up. Talking of this set reminds me of the fact I MISSED OUT ON MEETING UP WITH BEAUTIFUL ALBERTINE this weekend!!!
Wow, updating is a big job after you haven't done it for a while! I might as well stop now, otherwise you'll get used to this
On a finishing note, today I saw a very cheesy Danni Minogue video with the best idea for a set ever, can anyone get me an albino snake and a pair of black/white Dior platforms?....

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you... Just madly busy and not blessed with much PC access. Update coming soon!
According to Mao (hardly an idol or someone with valued opinion, but hey), one isn' t a true man if he hasn't climbed the Great Wall. Well that makes me a true woman now, doesn't it?
P.S. The lack of make up is due to extortionate temperature ;-)

Beijing is still good, but there are a few things I will NEVER get used to:
Toilets (90% - squating ones) - do not attempt straight after food, if you haven't taken toilet paper, or generally, if you can smell it within a mile, which is most cases;
Not being able to wear high heels - pavements are under constant refurbishment, so mud and piles of crap everywhere. Vivienne Westwood have most probably never been to China! Even if you manage to find a clear spot, it's too hot anyway.
Lack of style I have to put up with - flip flops, hair in a bunch, minimal make up, no synthetic tight fitting clothes.. You have the picture (Angrboda, hence the shortage of pictures with me in it!). As soon as you step out of an air-conditioned place, the combination of 70-80% humidity and 30+C simplifies any efforts to look even vaguelly glamorous... to sheer fuctionality which I'm dead bored of. Having said that, it's absolutely hilarious to watch chinese understanding of putting stuff together (I put it down to mass colour-blindness, which would also explain the awful driving, as traffic lights are there are a tourist trap), also nylon ankle socks with open sandals and skirts..
The fact that everyone stares at you. EVERYONE. ALWAYS. And this is the bloody capital!! What happens in rural China, where they aren't actually familiar with waiguoren aka foreigners?
Enough moaning tho, as I sense I'm spreading an impression that I don't like Beijing, which is not true! I'm going to share some joys next time, when I actually discover some. Joking :-)
Yin, who cannot stand Chinese food anymore

Ho ho ho! No, it's not Christmas yet, it's just over-excited me trying to convince you I'm Santa. On a more serious note, it's just the end of my first week in Beijing, and despite today's hangover (vodka+fruit juice - not for me!), thing couldn't be better! It's an ABSOLUTELY fabulous city, but you're definitely in for a bit of a culture shock at start. For instance, try and cross the road - I don't actually know why they even bother with traffic lights, as they seem to be only for cars, and if you're a pedestrian, something is always trying to run you over, be it a bike (the trashiest things ever), or riksha or car or a horse. And they drive like absolute maniacs!
Food is absolutely fantastic too, although I've already got a massive craving for something normal... Like a salad or pasta... Oh, and it's DEAD cheap, a meal with drinks costs around £1-£2.. Which reminds me of another important part - shopping! Guess what, it's dead cheap too! Beijing is a shopping haven, if you'd put a self-respecting brit here with a few not yet maxed out credit cards, they'd be in trouble! You can get anyhing here, loads of really fabulous tat. like the other day I went into the silk markets, and you could just spend the whole day there.. Wigs, theatre props, chinese dresses, comics etc etc
I've uploaded a few pics into my pics folder and I'm gonna keep adding them, so keep an eye.. I have to rush to see live kung fu! And also, my fantasy from now onwards is to shoot a set in the Summer Palace or Forbidden City, but that's definitely a tricky one - with police on every corner (bloody communists), and you get stared at anyway, with clothes on.. Yes, in the bloody capital, you feel like an alien!
Be jealous!
P.S. - It's too bloody hot and humid tho - forget about fashion, high heels (the pavements are a constant building site) or clothes made from anythind other than cotton or linnen, so Yin's looking quite bland atm (Bless Bobby Brown non-smudgy gel eyeliner!). The heat is also affecting my ability to spell!

Gawd, I'm a lazy cow. as I have been working (!), didn't have time to update, and as people started asking me whether I was still alive, I figured it's just about time... So there you go, a very deflated and uninspiring post, just as my life for the next 5 days.
Met Elf by the way - even better looking in flesh
I can surely state that was the most exciting thing that happened since my last post. Any recipe for excitement, anyone?...
Right, I shall stop moaning now and piss off. Promise a real update soon, mybe even with pictures! Wow...

Finally bough Audition. Dying to watch it, but 11:45 AM is probably a tad early for a japanese horror movie. I'll save it for tonight... Fuck it, I can't wait /rushes off
Gawd, I wathed it last night, and my stomach was still turning was I was attemptind my cereal this morning... And that "eek eek eek" sound when she was "stringing" his foot off!! Deranged mentalists Japs that they are, undoubtedly!
Can't help but be freakishly turned on by the girl tho - her rubber apron, the buckles (buckles...grr...), her... innocence I suppose?.. To all the men out there - that's what happens when you don't treat a girl nicely!!!
One mistake tho - how did that guy in a sack manage to lap up his puke if he had no tongue?
Anyway, to veryone who has't seen it yet - go and watch now!! Make sure you don't eat in the process

Hey, I thought I would wave my goodbyes as I'm off to the land of snow and misery (don't ask, and I won't need to lie
) for a few weeks, so I thought it would be immensely rude of me just to leave! First of all, thanks for everyone who took time and looked at my set or even commented :gushes: The comments were fab, must say I disagree with some, like "you have a great body" or "your hair rocks" - like what are you people, blind
, but hey, I'm happy if you are, helps a girls to build the confidence
I promise I will go through the amusingly massive list of friendship requests on my holiday, but I can't promise you'll get it just cos you asked - I have to like you first!
Ta ta, glorious Ryanair flight is waiting. At least it's business class, you know.
