again with the lingerie.

These gorgeous photos are from atyen gasson. I need to stop "shopping" online, these aren't quite as expensive as Agent Provocateur and look more vintage - which let's face it, is pretty awesome. I love the model in these too, she's gorgeous (and has nice eyebrows) and the flowers in her hair are lush. It's refreshing to see someone with pale skin and a more curvy figure in the modelling industry!

glorified band practice.

So tonight I went down to The Captain's Rest armed with my Disney Princess lunch tin; to see my friend Dan's band, 'The Afterparty'. Upon walking into the venue I bumped into an old friend who moved away months ago up on tour with another band on the bill ('Through Colour'); a good omen towards a good night? Yes. If only the heavens would close and the rain would piss off!

After chilling for a few hours, doing some facebook spamming trying (in vain) to promote said gig, a few cheap & nasty beers were slung back and the festivities started!

The first band on were actually really good, I was the only person in the room who wasnt actually "on tour" and hadn't heard them, but was pleasantly surprised! Even though they wouldn't play Rhianna for me.

The Afterparty were as predicted, good. They even played a cover of early 00's boyband 5ive or 5 or Five (or however they spelled it) which was for lack of a better word; SICK. Mimi Soya were good too; although Nic refused to do the macarena(spelling again?) like we had planned.

So after quite an eventful evening of banter, beer and bands "designated driver" GIJOE took the long drive to Maryhill, then back to town, then to East Kilbride, then back to where ever they went.... god only knows.

I have also collected a "AAA" pass, an Honour Over Glory lanyard, a drum stick, and a CD.

Good Haul if I don't say so myself.

you have to admit you have a problem;

Before it gets any better?
WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT THEORY.
Lots of things fix themselves eg:

your pinky toe mends itself without help, or admitting to any other toe it's broken.

On breaking a nail you don't have to tell your finger to make it grow, the same applies here for hair.

Cuts and Bruises get better all on their own.

So be a man suck it up and don't admit you have a problem; it will probably fix itself and you won't have the embarrassing backlash that usually comes from "admitting you have a problem"

Bag-O-Scraps;

So after my shipment came from American Apparel last week, so with the insane amount of fabric which came with my 'Bag-O-Scraps' me and Jenna set about making some swah-eeet garms. But not before we caused absolute chaos in my living room!



Jenna made a gorgeous woolen headband with a bow and elastic backing! It looked great on and only took her about 5 minutes to sew together!



She also made a bodess/corset from about 8 or 10 long strips of fabric, this took forever and still isn't even finished but still looks good! Surprising quality as well given it was made out of self-confessed "scraps".



I made these two headbands with bows :) the black one is on a braided lyrca band made from long bits plaited together and then tied & frayed. The floral one is a lot larger and just on a length of ribbon.


I also made a circle scarf from several long pieces stitched together, it turned out smaller than i had hoped but still looks cute (plus it's the nicest shade of purple).

This is the thing I'm most proud of, my cropped waistcoat! Took forever to make but was totally worth it, stitched loads of small 'Africa' print pieces together to make the red patterned material the shapes of the pieces draped really well so just left a raw edge. I used a few long strips of jersey to make the back (light grey) and the same material again to make the braided belt, in the same way as the headband above except on the belt there is a few lumps where i had to sew lengths together!

Overall, for the £8 this cost, BARGAIN! Plus all the fun we had making and coming up with crazy ideas ;)

Friends;

Apparently people don't watch Friends in America; HOW CAN THIS BE?!
My habit is a three episode a day one, and a drunken friend (ironic?) told me that e4 were going to stop showing it! Devastated is an understatement...

The one where everybody finds out... "do they know that we know that they know that we know?" one of my favourite ever episodes :)! But it's sad as well cause 'ugly naked guy' moves out :( every single time i see it i totally crack up just for the back and forth of the "do they know that we know" okay, i'm easy amused.



The one with Ross' Grant... This is my second favourite not because of the awkwardness of Ross and Charlie's situation but because of the fight between Rachel and Monica over who 'gets' to keep the painting of Gladys phoebe made! With hilarious outcomes and late night pranks on each other AND JOEY! love it.



Honestly if e4 stop showing Friends I will be lost.

Lingerie;

The last few days have been boring, so I started "online shopping" this is never a good plan; I have now fallen in love with far too much expensive lingerie which on my wages will NEVER become a reality. :( Damn you Agent Provacateur!! I'm also finding that "Bridal" lingerie is always the prettiest. So while every girl fantasises about their wedding dress, I am sitting designing the perfect underwear combination in my mind. Do you think that you wear it underneath your wedding dress all day? or just change? If you wear it underneath I definitely want two sets. Indulgent? Me? Never.

FOUR WEDDINGS;

So for the last 3 weeks I have watched Four Weddings at least once a day! I am now getting really really excited for helping my sister planning her wedding! Found two gorgeous bridesmaid's dresses which i am in love with :)

ESPECIALLY THE BLUE ONE.

benson & hedges;

Rolling tobacco isn't all that bad, actually tastes like normal fags.

which has made the last few days so much easier.

As I only have 20 pounds to last me until my parents get back or maybe even the end of the month depending on how good a mood my mother is in!!

I am very very tempting to use some of my money to phone a chippy and get a pizza :/ but I'm really not sure it's worth it!

Jenna has gone home, I'd kind of like to have the house to myself so i can get up for work without worrying and then come home and just tidy.

I might need to start fly-tipping though, as the bin is full and there are 4 black bin bags I forgot to put on the curb this morning. ROOKIE MISTAKE. A mistake that I've made 3 times in the last 2 weeks.

Ah good, it's now time for four weddings. I'll plan my dream day in my mind for when prince charming show's his face.

sponsored by lambrini;

So last night Tanya & Kirsten came over :')! First time I've seen them in 2010 making it fantastic girlie night in :D filled with wii dancing and lambrini drinking!!

As well as being the only people watching "lava tv" and requesting a million songs one after the other and dancing around to four year strong like we were in cathouse, not forgetting surrounding Jenna in a circle and dancing to limp biscuit!!!

The secret plan for a birthday cake worked a treat keeping it hidden in the microwave and then at 12:03am bringing it through to the new 20 year old Tanya ♥ (sorry neighbours for the loud singing of the happy birthday song) and she even cried, which was so very cute! Love her to pieces and wish she didn't have to go back home!

BUT they are here until tuesday; and on monday we have an AMAZING gig to go to :D where again i get to see old friends!

This week is shaping up to be a good one.
