Model Me


I got the photos back from my 'photoshoot' with Sandra! So yeah, here's some of the best ones.



And some of the final artwork she did...


And the placement idea:
But since it looked a little too similar to the one we got the idea from, they didn't want to book it :(

But yeah, also, remember when I said about getting stopped on Oxford Street and a guy took my details for a model/extras agency? Yeah so they got back to me, and I went for a photoshoot for the website and everything :D
It was pretty awesome, but I'm not posting any more til I'm on the website, cos I don't trust it now =/.
But yeah, citin citin citin!

........oopsies.

So I did mean to post at *SOME* point, but I...yeah.

Um, so in the last two weeks, I have mostly watched a lot more Lost (FINALE! AHHH! etc), got the photos from Sandra for the print she was doing, as mentioned a couple of posts back, and then this weekend Kim came down...so there's some stuff to tell there.

I'm gonna post about stuff, bit by bit, in the next few days, but starting tomorrow probs. And I should be posting a little more regularly since most of the shows I watch finished in the last couple of weeks and there's nothing to distract me/to get excited about watching (well, there's a few episodes of Make Me A Supermodel left, I think theres an episode of Ugly Betty left, and The Fashion Show has just started, albeit in crappy quality. Hmph.....and I'm still watching old Lost and getting up to speed on Supernatural....but yeah. *shifty*).

Lost & Found

Lost refers to....Lost.
Which is clearly the best thing on TV, despite the fact that a) this week's episode wasn't the best and b) I watch it online, not on TV, as with...everything I watch.

Found refers to this picture: 


Which is of Luke, and also the girl from Monday night in her entire multi-patterned outfit! Her name is Kate, btw. And clearly she is the girl with the big hair and the leopard print jacket (not houndstooth,  which is what my memory dragged up.)

Oo, Lost could also refer to the losing of one of the London clan - Bryony went back to York today :( her placement is over! I've still got 2 months here!!! Unfair. We went to Pizza Express last night to..celebrate? With pizza, and a bottle of wine, and some cake (Y). But yeah, she only came down a week before me, stupid part time *kicks it*

Although, Bailey just got a 6 month placement at John Lewis (which is paid. UNFAIR.), so she'll be here LONNGGGG after I come home. Might nip down around my birthday for a night out, can't beat a messy night in Camden.


Speaking of messy, I've just eaten half a bar of Green & Blacks. Oh dear.

Ooh, Betty!

So it's been a week or so since I've posted, due to being in Newcastle for a long weekend/being a Lost obsessive/laziness (mostly the third option).

But as it goes, it's been fairly busy...
in the last week I have gained several pairs of shoes and lost one irreplaceable pair, been out for a meal 3 and a half times, been to a party, and had a night out, spent 2 days in bed watching/reading about lost/ugly betty, bought/started to learn the guitar, and wasted a day on the Sims (literally wasted since Luke's computer decided to erase all his hours of building our house and creating us all as sims, as well as creating Kim and Dan, making them into vampires, and building them a magnificent Goth castle.....lol. I wish we had pictures. Actually, there are some on facebook! So yeah).

So...

Thursday morning, I made my half 8 train and got to Newcastle and gave my room a quick clean and went to buy some food and went into town for coffee with Gemma et al, and took my shoes to the cobblers - herein lies the gaining of shoes since I couldn't wear a good 8 pairs of them until this point...herein also lies lack of one pair, as the cobbler says 'come back for these ones tomorrow' and when i get there on friday he has somehow managed to take the soles off and not be able to get them back on - all that needed doing was one needed nailing down a bit, goddammit!!
I was not best pleased, to say the least.

We went for steak and cocktails on Thursday night, to TGI (our regular eatery) which was good times.




Friday was lost to the Sims. Of course. And once I'd picked up Luke's guitar (nee, Aaron's guitar...), I was hooked. Oh dear.

Saturday was a Nando's with wine, with Mam (see here chatting away on the phone; how dare)




...followed by picking Kim up from town and going back to mine, giving her the bag of clothes I'd taken up for her, and commencing partay-ing, which mostly involved Luke stealing the stripy leggings and proceeding to look like a div.



It were ace. Playing 'I Have Never' = good times, if anything.
Needless to say, Sunday was the first of the two days spent in bed watching stuff on telly. Heh.

Monday was spent in Stateside with Dean, and then hastily deciding that actually yeah, I did want to go to Coop, and heading out with Luke, Aaron and Mika (his nickname, sadly. He does look like Mika though.) for dancing and drinkies and waiting for half an hour for a taxi. Boohissboo. (I made my train, on Tuesday morning, after 4 hours sleep.)

There was a girl had an ace outfit, I wish I'd got a photo when she had her jacket on, good mix of patterns and stuff. Yeah. I do have some pics with her on but you can't really see her outfit, pointless! I believe, she has a houndstooth, or possibly just checky, jacket with rolled up sleeves, a short stripy top and a high-ish waisted studded skirt. Ace.

Oh, here's Luke picking me up at Coop. Clearly this is how we dance XD



More hasty decisions came in the form of buying a pink guitar, while waiting for Luke to dry his hair, which coincidently was from a shop on Green Lanes. I picked her up yesterday afternoon, she is called Betty, and she is awesome.




This is the outfit I wore when I went to pick her up (well, all day Tuesday, yknow). I felt unspeakably cool walking back home with my guitar on my back.
Haha, loser.




This was a very recapped post...
...this is partly cos most of my friends were there, they know what happened! And partly because I decided about 4 hours ago to start watching Lost from the beginning and episode 4 has just loaded and I'm itching to watch it. =/.
This is pretty much all I have done today, slept and read about Lost. 'kin hell, I need a life.



As a side note, hundreth episode of Lost: amazing, no? Though Faraday! Not loveable Twitchy!! I shall miss him, so so much. :(.
I am so addicted, I was reluctant to agree to go to Pizza Express tomorrow night, for Bryony's last night in London, cos it means I'll have to wait a few more hours to watch it....

...i have issues. (And I AM going out, after all.)

Next Top Jenn

Today was a good work day, ohh yes.

Sandra (the print designer!) is was working on some graphic tees with faces, and faces with like really smudges makeup? I can't really describe it without the inspiration photo. But yeah she thought I'd make a good model cos my hair is so bright haha, awesome. 
So she took some photos and got me to put loads of eyeliner on and smudge it, and it was awesome, we took hundreds of photos XD
She said she'll do me a disc of em so I can put them in my project (i.e. upload them here!) so I'll do that when I get em.

Ha
All I could think was 'smile with your eyes!', i have watched far too much America's Next Top Model.

Annnnnd I was working on sequin placement designs to be sent to India, which is a big project :)

Annnd then I was a fit model on the afternoon, cos Eudald got me to try on all the new Topshop woven trousers. I fell in love with one pair, they were beautiful! high waisted, a little wide legged, fitted like a glove, gorgeous. 

AND I got some more free clothes XD good times all round, says I.
