Stop/Start Theory...

Today we had band practice again. I was fashionably late, again. I refuse to take the full blame for my lack of punctuality, We have just got a new Shar Pei, so i had to walk it before I went out. I also had to get change for the bus. Im sure you will agree that these are both very time consuming activities.

Once I did actually get to practice, it went quite well. We had a photographer down so I dont know how those will turn out. Im not the most photogenic of souls. Plus the bassest kept putting me off. The worst kind of player is a Bass player.

This band business is expensive though. We had a 3 hour practice and now I only have 50p to my name. Bad times. Fortunately it is my birthday next week so I will hopefully get some money there. ive already had my new blackberry, and my grandma has bought me a Burberry style mac.

I went up town with mother and grandma yesterday for bank holiday. We only went in three shops. I got a black dress from topshop, a Tee shirt and a knitted cape. Im thinking of customising the cape - any ideas?

I was reading POP magazine on the bus today, and I saw some shoes by Comme des Garcones. Heres a pic from fall 09..

They are so quirky! I love them. I quite like the whole collection.

I also found the interview with Damien Hurst very interesting, and will soon be chexking out Brody Dalle's band Spinnerette. I remember the days of the distillers when I spent my money on fishnet tights and black nail varnish. I was quite the little goth. Ive grown out of it now, though I do still have my days when i think.. Do I feel like wearing colour today? Ive always found goth to be mysterious, when it is done correctly, and mystery keeps things interesting. Though, I don't think I will be going back to it anymore.

Margaret Thatcher, Milk Bottle Snatcher... I never thought of MT as a style icon, but I suppose she isn't really my era. Personally, Im not one for power dressing, though I can see the benefits of it in her case. Although she didn't do much for womens rights, she did show that it is possible for a woman to hold a position of power.

Tomorrow will be spent painting. I also want to pop down to this little brook I found and take some test shots before I get models down there. Does anybody know where I can get gold body paint from? I have a male model but I want to paint him gold. Im trying to go for the etheral look, something a bit 'other worldly'.

and to finish, something from marx..

I'm going to live forever, or die in the attempt.
