Sorry again for my lack of 'being about.' Life has been kinda busy! But as I am home, poorly in bed, I've been forced to slow down and found some time to blog.
Since my last real blog I no longer have a flat. This is great! I hated it...and the troll who lived upstairs who's every moments seemed to amplify around my place. But hopefully I'll be up and out of here and into a place with my boo in the next couple of months. Yay! I can drive him clinically insane with Hello Kitty and my constant book buying. My current read is Mary Shelley's, Frankenstein. I haven't read a book that old since I was at school and I am adoring it. The language is so different but so beautiful.
Anyways, what else? I spent the last week of August at the Edinburgh Festival, to watch Vortext comedy show. It was immense. I loved it up there, it's so pretty and so laid back compared to London. I didn't get to as many shows as I wanted but time just seemed to disappear. We caught Andrew Lawrence and Arj Barker but I was so sad to miss Reginald D Hunter and Tony Law. We had a couple of days spare ofter the festival too, so we managed to make it to the zoo too, which was awesome. Here's a load of random pics
Also, sometime in August, was the Suicide Girls night in London. It was all a bit of a rush and I didn't get to see eveyone properly but it was still an awesome night.
And a few weeks ago I had a mental weekend where I shot for Toxico clothing
And then bombed over to Brussels to shoot for a calender of Suicide Girls. It's going to be sold at the first ever Brussels Tattoo Convention that's happening in November. After shooting most of the day and travelling into the night, I was knackered but everyone in Brussels was lovely and they'd booked me a super sweet hotel to crash out at until the shoot next day. The shoot was a proper old school 50's pin up style shoot and I can't wait to get the images back! Hopefully soon. It was lovely to see Koshil and Clio again and it was awesome to meet Sinnah and Popcorn. The shoot took place at the most amazing little private boutique shop in Gent, a true pin up palace! Luckily Koshil and I got a very brief tour of the middle of Gent from the shop owners boyfriend. It was so pretty! So here's a ton more pics!
And that's pretty much what I've been up to! I had to work the weekend just gone, putting out all the Christmas stock. Yeah, that was as depressing as it sounds! It's horribly early for that kind of business!
I did have a shoot booked with Holley, but due to a location mix up, we couldn't do it. Boo hiss! Hopefully we get to re-arrange that soon.
I've seen a few films. The Machinist...thought that was pretty dull with a load of pointless loose ends. Dexter Season 4, oh my god, fricking awesome. The Human Centipede, sickly enterntaining. We've got tickets booked to watch Jurassic Park at the cinema at the end of the month, I am seriously stupidly excited about this! Also.....IT'S HALLOWEEN! The best holiday ever! Supermarkets are filled with skulls and gore, yay! I've bought so much stuff it's stupid but I love it. I think this year I am going to end up at a local farm when they run horror rides and have people chase you through fields with machetes and stuff. Should be good times.
I'm also excited cause Rob Zombie is coming to the uk in february, can't wait to get some tickets to that.
Also, I am currently running in a comp, so if you get a spare moment, please vote me five stars here!. And if you fancy tweeting about it, blogging, myspacing or whatever, that would be amazing.
