Starting a business

Well, I've had an idea to start a small online business online. I thought it would be easy, well I thought wrong. There are so many legalities you need to go through and urgh. But baby steps I suppose, we'll get there in the end. So I've wrote everything down in my journal so I don't get brain crack, (When you have an idea and need to get out as fast as you can, because otherwise your brain becomes addicted to the idea of ideas.) But for now, I have to get through my remaining six exams if I want to get anywhere. Oh dear.

Hello, again

Hello, well it's being a long time. During this time I've handed all my english coursework in. Just about got my media done, well I am sooooo glad to see the back of that.
Had my interview for the costumes course. Well it didn't go terribly well.. it was a group interview and you answered questions and showed your work and oh goodness, I didn't like it one bit. I've also got to send off a CV for the work experience, I'm not sure if I'll get anything as the production has already started but, I'll keep my hopes up. I'm kind of in two minds weather to go for it at all, its a show I'm a fan of so I don't know weather that would be help or a hindrance. On the other hand, I like the show in a, 'oh yeah its alright' rather than OMG ITS MY LYF LOOOOL!!1 Because, yano, I'm not a 15 year old girl, which is pretty much half of the fanbase of said show and they actually act like that. Le sigh, I suppose I'll go for it and hope for the best. We shall see!

I can post it here cos I know people won't see it

Well, college has had a pretty bad negative effect on me. Oh dear, turns out I had a panic attack this morning. I didn't even know I had them. I've been crying on off since I've gotten up. Was determined to go to college, I got half way up the road and kinda hastily walked back home and broke down to my mum.
    My mum had a talk with me which calmed me down and told me, 'everyone finds their thing in the end, you may just take longer to find yours' So as I've now I'm calmer but still a bit apprehensive if the college phone me and ask why I'm not in. Feeling pretty fucking stupid at the moment, but I can't help it. Can't believe this is all over a piece of work. Oh two more months and I can sing a big 'fuck you' at that place.

I wouldn't mind but my make up looks half decent for a change. Typical.

Well then

Well London was amazing, such a brilliant weekend. I'll write a type of diary entry for it later. But first. About a week ago I got a letter from Liverpool Community College saying how I've got an interview in about 2 weeks tomorrow. Oh, everything is finally happening! 
So I've sketched up a quick design for a costume. I've taken inspiration from the Devil's Carnival. I'm doing a Woe-Madien/Harleyquin. I will post a the process on here. Yay!

LONDON! HERE I COME!

I am packed and ready to go on my adventure! I'd be lying to say I wasn't a little nervous, scared even. This is a bit thing for me, first time going to London. First time without any rents, mine don't know that... Because of the I feel guilty D:
But I'm excited as I'm visiting the sets of Harry Potter, oh my goodness! hgkjsfhggkjjf

Creative Ideas

Well, my media teacher emailed me a brief for my media coursework which has to link to my essay (A star theory of Elvis in the 50s) Oh so many ideas! I just hope I can do the things I want to. The only problem is I have to link the product to my essay, which I have yet to finish, oh dear.
     So I think what I'm going to do is a new iconic star who would be a 'modern girl inspired by the 50s' but I think I may somehow put a pin up spin on it. But I'm stuck for a name, I've looked at some Burlesque names and name generators but all I got back was either really cringe worthy and not classy, or too crude.
Now I have to plan a layout for my three products and next week I'll take the pictures for it. I really should finish the essay first *sigh*

Bettie Page, Queen of the pin ups

As I'm and currently writing up my media essay and casually pulling my hair out. My piece is a 'star theory of Elvis in the 50s' so in my intro, I've compared him and Marylin. Whilst trying to think of other icons, one pops to mind. Bettie Page, now, keeping in mind she was a fetish model/queen of the pin ups. I don't think I can put it in my work, somehow.
       I remember last year in pencil portrait I asked to draw a picture of Dita, (in clothes obviously) and the teacher looked shocked at I knew who she was... Really? So I don't think writing about Bettie would go down too well.


I'm babbling, apologies if anything is inaccurate, I'm not making any sense and its half one in the morning. I need my bed.

My epiphany, so to speak

I think after getting my exam results on Thursday I'm going to start applying myself rather than having the concentration of a tea spoon. For example, I could spend 6 hours on facebook refreshing it or for 6 hours do something useful.
     So, tonight, I'm going to attempt to get my media done. A small thing it may seem but I've built it into a monster for the small fact I don't want to do it. I'm 18, I have to try be an adult now. Sigh.

So many things to do, so little time and effort

I have a list of things I need to get through today and I'm going at turtles pace. I have a bunch of libary books that need to go back on Wednesday and I need to take all the useful things but I have so many books. I may scan the useful parts instead of copying.
     I also have two major pieces of coursework to complete for college which needs to be done within the next two weeks. Yet I have no motivation to do them what so ever.
    Also I have to clean my pit I pass off as a bedroom as I've seen more organised landfill sites. That'll take me all day. If I could have a time turner like Hermione does, life would be so much easier.

New girl with a new blog

So, I made this blogspot/blogger just as I thought it maybe more efficient to have all my 'creative' things in the one place rather all over the place on other social network sites where nothing seems to happen.
     So, what will my blog consist of I hear you say? Well, as I want to go into costume design, I'll put all that on here. I may start 'fashion hauls' or tutorials on how I repair/make certain items of clothing and if I think of anything else, that'll go on here too! So this blog has a theme but not a sole purpose? I think that maybe the best way to describe it if that makes any sense.
