RIP Bettie Page

Sadness :(

Thank you for being an inspiration to me and thousands of others...

XMASXMASXMAS!!

Its almost xmaasss!!  Ive just broken up for my holidays, ive made and wrapped all my xmas presents, my room is covered in glitter (probably for the next 6 months) from my MERRY XMAS glitter sign from the 99p shop in elephant and castle, and im going home on sunday! 

I thought it would be really funny to get really tacky wrapping paper for some reason (it made sense at the time) but im just thinking that people might not get the joke and think its really crap! ahh well, its all part of xmas! the wrapping paper, the tinsel and the irritating music - so it all makes me happy! 

Im also making my costume for the xmas grind a go go from Oh my god i miss you in bethnal green tomorrow! im going as an xmas pud, which basically consists of my black catsuit, white booties (plate?) a holly headband i made and a cream cape! im also considering cutting out droplets of cream to stick on my torso - it shall be amazing :P i just need to go to berwick street today to go buy some cheapo fabric to cut up.  - I also told Leona (aka miss lady luck) about it and she wants me to dress as a pud to the design grotto at somerset house that im working at!

I helped out at her swap party last night with my friend Lotte being the drinks woman, and lotte being the food woman. People were not exactly polite when grabbing dresses off the rails and I got a bit annoyed at this woman who laughed and said "oh I find it funny the way youre dressed, are you all dressed up for the event?" and i was like "erm..no! i dress like this normally and ive been wearing it all day!"  - how rude! It might have been the holly headdress that was too much for her, but I actually had been wearing it all day.
 Overall though I had a really fun time as everyone who works there is really lovely and the gingerbread men were decorated so nicely! (most people there were not like that woman thankfully) I also managed to get some purple ear muffs and a balloon necklace in the swaps and Lotte got a lovely skirt!

I will try and get photographs of the event when they're on Lady luck!

over and out

aww crap i'm really bad at updating...oopsy!

well i've henna-d my hair on a whim! I bought the Caca Noir lush brand henna which is fun because you have to grate it and then mix it and then put loooads on and keep it on for several hours and then wash off for a veeryyy long time and it turned the
 shower green and my body grey...okay perhaps not sooo much fun but it looks nice now! and the grey came off (onto my pijamas when i was sleeping >_<)

unfortunatly not many people have noticed though even though its considerably darker than it was before :S only when I mention it they go "ohhhh! i seeeee!", but ahh well I like it!














I went to the urban outfitters in convent garden event night with free alchy and lady luck discounds and temporary tattoos and benefit discounts, which was nice! and later on we went to the discounts night on on Carnaby Street - that was insaaane...too many people.

Diddn't actually buy anything except for some stuffing and a pedal bin from artbox for my bathroom - strange, I have money but not urge to spend on things I dont need...is this maturity?!

Southwark is pretty close to everywhere - I walked to Covent Garden in twenty Minutes, which is almost the same time as on a tube (there are many changes) so I think I shall start walking more - everything is closer together than it seems! One of my favourite things to do is just walk around London, theres always something new!
