Oh my!

Ok so i might not have yet lived up to my expectations, no swimming no work today, basically being lazy as ever and being me. I went shopping instead, say what! Yes Shopping, i finally sort of got a lipstick i wanted, blackened redish, and found it in the form of 'Sleeks' Mulberry, what a name! Yeah as many of you may not know or heard of Sleek it is a relatively affordable well established brand founded in the 80s, made for the caribbeans i think. That may explain for the slightly dark tone.




Ol so for some reason i always imagined Daisy Lowe with black lips, but i still cant find an image with her, with blackish lipstick, im not making this up honest, but as you can see from the ysl catwalk, things went rather gothic, and this was still rather last season but i just had to quote ysl and nu goth band Ipso Facto, wears black lippy, so i tried it on myself, and bought it anyway, looking rather ridiculous now, sat here typing this with the lippy on. I think you can only carry this off, if you either enter the category of goth or looking model like. Oh well since 've bought it now, i might as well test it out soon-ish can't wait for people's reactions.

Oh and today subway vs Burger King i guess Subway won by a mile, nothing can beat a 1 out of 5 portion of fruit and veg a day right? I got to use my subway voucher and they do student discount plus, you can never feel guilty after a sub yum yum.

Oh and talking about food, i was talking organic, well not me but my friend kat, was discussing that, trying to find some organic face products, apparently there was an ad on dazed and confused about it, if you can't eat it then don't put it on your face. I suppose since our skin absorbs the chemicals thru our blood system right?

So i suppose where do we get affordable organic face products from, as organic seems to always portray a kind of high cullture cult thing, if you get me. I suppose you can always make your own, like my mum said once you can make skincare products with things around the house, like eggs and veg .

Also this is non organic related but took photos round town for urban project, it wasn't really real photography, but gave me basic idea of what my animation would include etc, and style it'd end up. Im going to have to edit photos tho and make it b&w, one thing im excited about is the big ferris wheel. So if i edit it tonight, i can hopefully get pics printed tomorrow. woooop. Success!
Love

Being lazy

So this blogger obviously sucks and won't let me load the video for Black Lips Pftt. Anyhow i have spent the past few days sorting the vid out and persuading ppl to vote, so far it seems like this is not as successful as i thought it'd be. Oh well so far 7 likes, you can't really ask for more can you now.

Tomorrow, i look forward to renting a decent camera out and taking photos round manchester, and after editing photos manipulating it as much as i can using all kind of methods and techniques etc etc, and then with these images, make an animation with it, inspiration from ellies glasses animation and Robert Breer (i think). For Sakis's project. Oh and song by U2 city of blinding lights. Swimming also!

Black Lips, Starting Over, Friday 13th.

Finally, disappointment and then happiness! Woop so a day getting my lightbox, And then food shopping, forgetting my keys, so sat outside for nearly an hour in the car. Oh yeah lecture no pen = no notes.

Filming, wasn't as successful as i thought it'd be was well disappointed, and then we went to mac suite to edit film and found system was down, so couldnt log in and when we did we me and hanna couldn't work final cut pro plahhhhh. Nothing was going right for sho.

Well we saved the work and then i opened it on my laptop but it wouldn't even open , so i thought i;d have to start all over again and then i can't remember if it was me or hanna we thought of using video clips we already had. So all those years of doing reckless things and filming stupid things, it finally comes to good use ahhh. Well after several hours of intense editing by me and hanna also sourcing the video clips, we've finally finished, and it's the first time in ages ive actually felt like i've achieved something. woop!!! I think things are looking good, but i'll stop here, don't want to jinx it all etc.

Here it is!!!! Its quite pixellated tho. Youtube or vimeo wouldnt let me upload the dv format!!



Later updates Later.

Be Wonderful and Be Strange

Ok so word has it that for the next issue of ID there will be 12 covers and will be titled 'The best of British', featuring 12 past and present models, how fabulous. Im just wandering which cover to get now, i am mostly excited about the Daisy Lowe, Aggy and Lily Donaldson cover. Blahhh which one to get???? Oh and actually just forgot a few models didn't quite make it, i would have quite liked to see Coco Rocha, Lily Cole and Daria Werbowy. Oh well, none the less, the covers look great!!

Bored Party Bored Party Bored Party

yeah ok last post today, so don't worry, before i bore you all ( which prob means myself, i doubt anyone will be reading any of this). I think i feel sick from eating lots of sweet stuff today that meaning chocolate fingers and hanna's homemade apple cinnamon cake/biscuit thing. Now im just bored listening to Kings of Leon on TV, so nice.

Ohhhhh and It's Partyyyyyyyyyyyyy time!!! As me and Hanna will be throwing a frat party, so come down anyone. Can't wait first houseparty woop, gonna try get speakers and shizz of someone. Should be good, day before valentines day aye! Oh updates as well my sister got her lip pierced see what did she say about me torment me years ago when i wanted it done, and what has she done now, properly annoyed tho. Pfft and i didn't even ever get to pierce my lip pfft, which reminds me i need to buy studs for ears ive left ym ring which costs £15 at Trevor Sorbie, when getting my haircut. This is the secong one i've lost now. ANNOYED OR WHAT.

Remembering stopmotion, seabear and mum

OK so a friend recently sent me a link to a animation 'They made frogs till they explode' for the band mum, i just had a smile on my face watching it the whole time, and then i finally remembered i actually came across the video already last year. This was also when i had a horrible obsession with the band Seabear, they also featured in The Science of Sleep. This also was the time when i was just obsessed with Swedish bands and guys. Weird eh. I sing I swim was probably my favourite Seabear, they have a very distinct sound to them, almost nostalgic and chill out. Listening to it brings back certain good sweet memories and makes me never want to grow old. Also they might come across as talented musicians but they're also artists as well; Inga Ingebjorg, directed videos for Mum and Seabear. Also the animations reminds me of Chad Vangaalans animations.







This reminds me that i can actually make stopmotion animation, and has me wandering why i've been trying to stay away from it for so long, mostly due to the fact it's time consuming and although most people say that it's also rewarding to see end results and also told by my tutor once that anything stopmotion, even if you did crap looks good, i strongly disagree. Yeah most stopmotion looks good, but mine doesn't, i just never seem to be pleased with the results, i don't know if this is due to the lack of my confidence or that i feel i can do better if i put in the extra effort.

Fashion Bits and Bobs and Zoo Magazine (thats zoo as in the berlin based mag, not the lads mag, got it)

Yea so a recent trip to Magma in the Northern Quarter resulted in my spending spree on Zoo Magazine. I was spoilt for choices really, i was surrounded by lots and lots of books, think i might go back in some other day and have a look round again. Well one thing that caught my eye and why i chose Zoo Magazine, was the front cover, of a model (Alana Zimmer) wearing Maison Martin Margiela. I should have known! Who else would recycle old vinyls? SO that was why i bought it although there was Rubbish and a Indie Magazine and like a dozen more i wanted.



Secondly, i saw these shoes, and if i read it right, it's Hermes. Look at the heel, it says it's 10cm high. I love the block colours, very art deco and i think thats prob where the influence came from.

Last Night (sung to the tune of The Strokes)

Was ace, i went for a meal with hannah, katya and charlotte at pizza express and ordered the weirdest pizza ever with capers, anchovies and egg? Hmmm interesting none the less i was full after and we got the meal for free!!!!! Wooop yeah so we headed to the AMC to watch 'He's just not that into you', which equally made my day. I thought it was honestly going to be one of those crappy chick flick/romantic comedy and it was but in a good way, Awwww alex and gigi, bless, time i find myself a new boy i say.

Well today i am on a quest to find a lightbox, if not i might just cry and miss the biggest opportunity ever to have my work shown around europe (London, manchester and Poland) Blahhhhh why didn't i start earlier blahhhh, well i only got told yesterday it's in for next week thats the same day as Black Lips at the trof blahhhh even more. I''ll be working hard hard hard for next few days i guess, but seriously can't wait for flea market!!!!!!

WOOP LATEST UPDATES!!! Yeah!

New hair New me

Ehhh yeah so i showcased my new hair today did some, shopping cleaned my room (kind of) At last i managed to vacuum my room, ive never been so keen ever to hoover, i've been waiting for this, for like months!!! Oh and met new housemate called Marina, she's spanish and cool, also she has mannequins i can borrow :) which is a plus and can cook me some nice spanish food.

Bad news tho i only found out that my Poland project i was doing is like due in next week, gutted like i was going to re do my animation and shizz time is seriously running out blahhhhh, im kind of annoyed. hmmmmmm yeah and dying my hair blue yeshhh!

Todays last rant and possible haircut update!

This is for annie most probably :p.
Ok so where should i start. I have so much to say but not quite sure how to put to words. After most recent thoughts and going out, without sounding too crude or whatever. I hate to say this and i really do mean it, but why for many years people have hated scenesters i never quite got. I mean i know that you'll get a few decent ones etc same with every scene or whatever people call people nowadays, same with music people try to group bands into categories, maybe then it's easier for people to understand, if you get me.
Honestly though until this day i thought i'd never say it but aren't scenesters the most annoying kids nowadays, not only do they choose not to acknowledge your presence, and scream as loud as possible to attract as much attention as possible to lets say their nicely done/messed up hair or skinny jeans to show off their extra skinny legs, which makes me want to cry even more, yes, call me a fat bitch or whatever.
The very day i went to Kissing the Lipless i knew something of a scenester domination might just happen. At last it did. Not only do they annoyingly wear nice vintage clothes and wear lipstick and know nothing about anything and stand there acting all cool. Yes you have a marc jacobs bag, does it really look like i care? yes ok i might a fair bit cause i'd love to own one, god im a walking contradiction, but most of all what makes them think they're better than anyone else???? Ok yes i might look like a tramp, so that might be why. Last thing whoever made the word scenester up anyway???????

Oh and my hair looks like this kind of.
