ARGH! I wrote a blog about my evening on Thursday night gettin my hand wet into makeup and stuff! Then it went coz it likes to "autosave"! ANYWHO
Got to do a bit of facepaintin for www.ferofero.com @ PUNK nightclub Soho which pretty cool. Very eventful i must say. I've done a photoshoot in there before like 2 years ago with a tog called 'the mofo' The model didnt like my makeup but I thought that was the best thing at the whole shoot! lmao
It was cool doin something different. So many people where comin up to me to get a design - guys and girls
This is the lighting i had to work with in the VIP section but even darker... a challenge but nothin i could not handle ;)
Some of the lovely faces I got to be creative with.
So i've been thinking... In any industry its all about who you know.
Whether its modelling, makeup or music. For example.
Amber Rose.
She was a nobody, more or less she was just a stripper before she got involved with Kanye West
Now shes signed to Ford models.
I mean, good for her. You know. Its all love but honestly. It really is about networking and knowing someone who knows someone who knows someone.
I've decided that i'm gonna try my best to do all I can do especially in the States. Its all about about making those connections and having a great support system behind you.
I'm getting my mind and body right. Eating properly. No junk, loads of water and exercising every day.
Lately, ive been practising guitar alot more than usual, which is a good thing. I think it helps me to centre my thoughts sometimes. Kinda like therapy.
Thats music for ya.
So I haven't done make up in what it seems like YEARS but i know its more like months. Ive been contemplating to myself if i could make it as a plus sized model. Even though people say i'm not plus sized. Well i'm sure as hell not a size zer0
Hmmm...
I'm sure I could find a market for myself in
This was taken about 3 years ago... I think I look different. In fact I think these pictures were a fluke... See the modelling industry needs someone who doesnt think that their pictures are a fluke... I guess i have to work on my attitute.
"So you make a little money Off of somebody else's sweat So some people starve a little While you get fat While you get fat So you grind and grind And you push and shove And claim that those most worthy Will get what they deserve What they deserve It can't be true It can't be true Because I've seen too many hungry faces I've seen too many with the likes of you It can't be true For you everything has it's price You give nothing away for free If silence were truly golden I guess no one could sleep No one could sleep You have money at your fingertips People at your beck and call And you're fool enough To think for a price You can have the whole wide world For all our sake's And all our lives We must hope the words That come from your lips We must hope those words are lies For all our sake's And all our lives We must hope the dreams Soulless visions that you have Are never realized So You've got a big house And you drive a fancy car So what if your pockets are full If you have an empty heart You snap your fingers And all the waters part So what if the people bow down If they show you no regard Your left hand Always watches your right So what if you trust in God If you can't sleep at night You think you've made it You think you've got what everyone wants So what if you're a big fat man With an empty little heart Who has made a little money Off of somebody else's sweat Who watched the people starve While you got fat While you got fat You got fat You got fat"
Pooh Damnit said it FIRST "Women should be able to cut their hair off as a statement not for fashion because women should be able to shave their hair off like men and still feel and look beautiful, women should feel sexy about it" - I love you Pooh
This is for you SB
FUCK a haircut. Its not about fashion. Its a statement. Rihanna and Cassie are lame. Erykah Badu did it way back when
I did it again this week because its easy to maintain.... i did it a couple years ago and MAINLY because I want to and I can.
Its already been said so thats all I have to say about that *in a Forrest, Forrest Gump voice*
At the moment I cannot be bothered with this whole fashion industry... I'm gonna just do me full stop. MY TOOTH FUCKING HURTS. Just had a wisdom tooth pulled out this afternoon. Tears were rolling down my eyes because it felt like the root of my tooth was attached to the temple of my BRAIN... I wanted to bitch slap the dentist at that moment. But anyways....
MUSIC! Oh how I miss thee.. I miss performing and creating it so much. I was reading about Kings of Leon and saw that Jared Followill
locked himself in a room and taught himself how to play bass guitar. Talk about a virtuoso. Thats the shit I need to do.
At the mo my influences can vary from Nirvana, Led Zepplin, Dixie Chicks, Janis Joplin, Alanis Morrisette, Tracy Chapman, Kings of Leon and of course Kelis.
Plus I'm tryna think of a band name... *hmmmm....*
The whole time i had a nervous look on my face and that is ONLY because of the trust i have in hairdressers... its all about barbers who can use sissors and can CUT!
It looks sick...
This is the new beginning to my mind, body and soul...plus image.
"Change your image... Change your life..." - Peter Ishkhans
Love Peter Perfect! Very cool dude from the UK doin it big in the States.
That would be me one day... I can smell it and it smells GREAT!
What i'm basically saying that today is a brand new day, you never know when this life will end. Live llife to the fullest people... i dunno what that specifically means, but in my interpretation.
Now, i'm not one to jump on the bandwagon with things. I think that in life, you should always be true to yourself.
I'm always constantly changing my image through hairstyles, fashion and makeup and in 2007 I shaved my hair into a mowhawk and dyed the tips bright red in Virginia Beach.
It was SO easy to maintain and loved the feeling of freshly cut hair.
Having really short hair should be a a statement. Especially in this time and era and not just for fashion.
You don't need a £300/$600 weave. But if you do then rock it.
I have not done makeup for ages... I think thats what me and my mum have noticed the most. I try to induce myself into art so something else doesn't get my attention and then I overthink everything.... whatever.
So i've been picking up the acoustic guitar and strumming away tabs and chords. Tryna jam and freestyle etc etc
*urgh I hate the graveyard shift* .... see! Thats my attention span... LOL Anywho. To cut the story short and keep it sweet. De-cluttering would elp in anything really.
Im a creative so being able to vent artisticly (yeah its my word) would be something i'd enjoy. I'm gonna focus on that... (and making money)
