Deathstars

  • Apr. 14th, 2009 at 12:48 AM

Okay I know I should probably do some kind of update first considering I haven't really posted for a fair while. 
But I'm tired and this will do for the moment.

So, I saw Deathstars on Friday. They were awesome just like last time.
After the gig we stayed at Rios like we intended, jagerbombs were £1.50, this made me happy. Not so much for Kim who I was at the gig with, she was driving us there and back so obviously no alcohol for her.
I ended up not spending a penny that night.
But anyway, on with my story.

As me and Kim were dancing/headbanging/drinking happily, Whiplasher comes out of nowhere and looks around the room. So me being a big Deathstars fan, I get all excited.
We journey in the general direction he had gone (the bar) and we found Skinny!! So I strike up a conversation with him, hes a really nice guy!
Then Whiplasher and Bone come along and I talk to them for a bit, not so much Whiplasher, because he irritates me. The EGO! Jesus.
But anyway, a nice set of guys!
One of the roadies buys me a drink, very nice of him. He was a kool guy too.
Then I convince them all to come dance, which Skinny and the roadie do, I then didnt see Whiplasher at all after that (not that I'm complaining, he went to a quiet corner and was the least fun lol) 
After about 15 minutes of dancing with them guys, Cat comes along! And this guy is beautiful.
As the night goes on the guys from the other bands join in! So within about an hour, me and Kim were dancing with the guys from Deathstars, Marionette and The Defiled. We were very happy indeed, they're such kool guys!
One of the guys from The Defiled took a bit of a liking to me and danced very close indeed.. until Kim started slapping his hands away from me, haha! Oh dear.

A fair few drinks later (mostly provided by Kim, a rather nice man with long hair, the roadie and Cat) I was 'merry' but not quite drunk. Alas I seem to have developed a slight immunity to jager. This is not something I am proud of. Makes nights much more expensive!
But anyway, I walk on over to Kim who is taking some time out while a song she isn't overly fond of comes on, the next thing I know one of the guys from Marionette is stuck to me! How the hell...?! Now I can safely say that was not my doing! The 'groupie' thing really isn't my scene. So I was pretty embarrassed but this guy was really sweet ^_^ aww <3

So after the club closed me and Kim went to hang out on the tourbus (and thats exactly what we did, like I said, I'm not into the whole groupie thing hah) where some brandy was brought into the mix. I felt sorry for Kim having to drive, it would have been so much more fun if she was drinking too, boo!

I didn't get home til 6am, and I had work at 10 >_< 
Totally worth it.

Picture tiiiime.

Arsing about in the car park before the gig.



Whiplasher, me and Skinny =)



Cat and me - Not sure what I'm doing haha!



Uh oh! I don't remember this been taken, and from such a bad angle! Thanks Kim, lol.




Was a good, albeit strange night.

And I'll update properly another day.

=)
 

Typical.

  • Apr. 14th, 2009 at 12:37 AM

I think I may have fallen in love with a very nice Swedish boy I will never meet again.
Or not for a long time anyway.
That sucks for me.
Big time.
 

Bleeding Through

  • Nov. 17th, 2008 at 10:04 PM

Righto, well, I went to Manchester Apollo last night to see Bleeding Through and Lacuna Coil (Bullet for my Valentine also played...but they're shit) and it was AWESOME!

Bleeding Through were amazing, they're the band I went to see really, I like Lacuna Coil but nowhere near as much as these guys. Brandans voice is amazing live and they were all pretty mental on stage!

Lacuna Coil were alright, but I can't help but think it was more like some pantomime because of the way the vocalists were. Strange acting and playing for the cameras rather than their audience.

Plus, I decided Cristina looks like Gok Wan.

BUT, after the gig me and Kev went for some food and waited around outside for our lift back up to Keighley. As we were just sat there, Brandan walked past! Nobody noticed because everyone was there for BFMV. So we ran after him haha! He is so awesome, we got our tickets signed and a picture with him, then we were stoof talking to him at their tour bus for about 40 minutes. A few others from Bleeding Through got off the tour bus to talk too which was awesome. I found out that they'll next be back in April, headlining this time which I'm so happy about!

Anyway, here's a couple of pictures. I look like shit and about 10 years old but I don't care too much, its Bleeding Through!

Me and Brandan




Me and Marta



Me and Brian


 

Dermal Anchorrr

  • Oct. 2nd, 2008 at 12:14 AM

Well today I decided to go get another body mod. Found a place in Leeds that do microdermals and was well happy, so I got one where my sternum surface piercing was lol. Its pretty.
I was thinking of getting 2 more but I couldn't afford it today, they're £35 each =( but worth it.

Anyway, here it is.

Ergh

  • Sep. 23rd, 2008 at 2:02 PM

I'm ill! I got sent home from work early, I wasn't overly bothered for leaving, I would have liked to but we had stuff to do so I could have stayed, unfortunately I didn't have a say in the matter >.< 

I feel boring.
I think when I next get paid I will get another tattoo, but I've been thinking of getting another surface piercing.
Saying that, considering how fast my last surface piercings rejected, I might get microdermals!.. Somewhere.
I want to say sternum, but I already had 3 surface piercings there, so any more scars (even though 2 of the previous surface piercing scars are barely noticeable) would be pushing my luck really.
I would need them somewhere I could hide at work though, so maybe collarbones? Pah.

I have a lemsip ^_^

I'm angry with my septum piercing. It doesn't behave. Any jewellery I have in there MOVES to one side (it isn't pierced wonky or anything, its a perfectly placed piercing and healed) Its just I must be really clumsy and knock it to one side without noticing. I'm constantly feeling it to see if its straight (haha) which makes me look really funny when I'm out and about, but sod it.

Back to the topic of scars - I might see a doctor about having one removed. I have a pretty nasty scar from a madison piercing. Well 2 actually, the first time it was pierced it started to reject so I took it out, no scar there really the first time, but then after a few month I decided to get it done again through the scar tissue. So when it rejected it left a really nasty scar =(
It was over a year ago and the scar has actually got worse haha. I'm an idiot.

Hmm, yes I think I will get some kind of modification at the beginning of October when I get paid ^___^
 

Leeds group shoot

  • Sep. 11th, 2008 at 10:08 PM

Orightey, so I attended a group shoot on Sunday in Leeds. It was pretty damn kool. All alternative models and awesome photographers. 
I've only got a couple of pictures back so far but heres some =)


Morbidly Inclined Photography



There's a couple more but I will add them later.
That last one makes me laugh ^_^

Anyway, thats it for now =)


 

New

  • Sep. 3rd, 2008 at 4:03 PM

Okay I got some pictures back today from a shoot I had in June with Crippen. 
So I thought I would share =)



One more )



They're probably my favourites from what I have got back so far.


 

I have longer hair

  • Sep. 2nd, 2008 at 5:22 PM

I finally got some more hair extensions and this time they're black instead of some crazy colour. I put them in this morning and I think it looks ace ^_^ works really well with my layers. 

Kev should be home soon and I haven't tidied because I have been on VF all day reading up on how to make SE dreads again - I haven't attempted to make any for about a year but I still have all my KK hair >.< haha! So I think I will make a start on that tonight.
Either that or a new vintage style dress, pretty ^_^ 

I still have a few fake fringes to make too I guess.

Pah, either way I'm in a creative mood.

Yay for long hair, I've always suited it longer, so I'm a happy Joey.
 

Yesterday =)

  • Aug. 31st, 2008 at 2:32 PM

 
Well yesterday was fun =) 
Started off by going to Kev's parents then got a lift into Bradford.
I had to go buy things (Hair dye, etc) and I bought some awesome new eyeshadow by Bourjois, ahhh I love it when I find good makeup while its still on its introductory price haha!
Then we went to Frankie and Bennys. First time I have ever been too!
I was sat there with a big smile on my face for the majority of the time, the music made me happy lol.
We had a good time in there then we had to leave because our film (Hellboy 2) was about to start at Cineworld.
We got there five minutes into it because Bradford cineworld staff are so slow its unbelievable.
But... I did get a brownie sundae with fudge sauce ^_^ heh.

On our way back to the train station we stopped off at Gasworks and went in until our last train, which we ended up not getting anyway because our mates band was playing (Eyesore Angels, go check em out on myspace, they're good)
So we got a taxi back to Keighley instead.

Not really that eventful but it was good nonetheless. I haven't been out properly for a while.
I spent way too much money though =( 

Pah I'm back at work soon.

Oh, and my mum has been on holiday, she got back yesterday and brought me a pink spikey squishy ball with a light in it. Its ace.
I might have mentioned that in yesterdays journal. But I'm still playing with it so I thought it deserved another mention.
It needs naming.
Any suggestions?

I did a shoot earlier this month, my second shoot with Admirion.
Was at Bolton Abbey and was fun =) the weather was a bit shit though.

Only got a few pictures back because he's on holiday now so I shall show you my favourites of what I have =)





Cant wait to see the others =)

And now I suppose is time for a proper update!

I was working a lot more hours recently... and now I'm off work until beginning of September! Yay!
I got all the information I need for the beauty course I'm hoping to start next month, its gonna cost a LOT but it'll be worth it.
I pick up my kit for the course when I enrole ^_^
Unfortunately I will be doing the evening course so I can keep the same hours at work.

I had another shoot today with Elizabeth Chiyoko in Doncaster.
It was interesting getting to the location lol ^_^ but it was kool.
The weather was pretty good too, or at least not pissing it down. Always a winner.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures from that - from what I saw on her camera at the shoot I'm quite pleased with them =D


Oh yeah, my mum and her boyfriend have buggered off on holiday, the dogs at the kennels so the house has been pretty quiet.
Tidy though.... because  have been tidying ¬_¬
It sucks been at home on my own when Kev and Adrian are at work. But I managed to sort my sewing machine out =D
... While the kitten tried getting away with my bobbins.

Anyway thats pretty much it.

Update

  • Aug. 1st, 2008 at 10:11 PM

So my plan of using this everyday failed miserably.
But I still post on it more often than I used to lol.
Well, since my last post I have decided on where I am going to college. I'm off back to Keighley College (The lucky bastards)

It was my birthday on the 19th so I went to the wendyhouse in Leeds. It was fun but really warm! Here's a picture of me looking a bit flustered lol - That Daryl and Luci in the background. I wish I didn't have the pink in my hair, for some reason I think it blends in with my corset and makes me look like I have short hair. Or it looks like straps of a non existent bag.



And innocently trying to put some lip gloss on in the toilets lmao.



But anyway, other than that.
I'm working full-time for the next 2 weeks while my manager is away, which means I am in charge of the shop o.0
I was fine with that at Crazy Cats because its easy to look after and theres not people there to constantly be noticing your mistakes.
Conways art shop is part of Conways Toymaster.
The main office for all of Conways is above the art shop.
Which means if I mess anything up somehow, they will notice.
Bummer.

But on a lighter note, it means more money.
I get almost 2 weeks off after that too =) So I'll be booking more shoots.
I have a shoot on the 10th at Bolton Abbey with Admirion again.
Then a shoot on the 27th with Elizabeth Chiyoko =)
Two photographers I have had the pleasure of working with before, that I am totally comfortable with and love their work, so I'm happy about that.
I tend to get quite nervous about shoots if its the first time I've worked with the photographer.

Both shoots are something a bit different to my usual kinda gothicy, alternative, punky, cybery whatever the mixture shots I have in my port already.
Still alternative, but not the same sort of styles.

I can't decide whether to get a fringe or not. I have loads of fake fringes I have made myself, human hair in various cuts and colours. I just can't be arsed to re-style them whenever I get them out of the drawer and clip them in lol.
Plus I can;t wear them at gigs unless I just don't headbang. Which, lets be honest isn't really an option for me.

On my dinner at work tomorrow I'm going to the market and buying shit loads of fabric.
I got a new sewing machine for my birthday that I need to put into action.
Plus I need to make a real Victorian style skirt for the 10th.

Oh and if you haven't seen The Dark Knight already...well...do.
Its fucking awesome!
I'm was already a huge Batman fan, but this film is the best.
Plus it had three of my favourite actors.
Gary Oldman
Christian Bale
Heath Ledger.

Awesome.

June shoots

  • Jul. 7th, 2008 at 7:16 PM

Well I had a shoot a couple of weeks ago in Leeds with Morbidly Inclined Photography, heres a few picturesss

 





My boobs look really crushed o.0



And that one just made me laugh heh ^_^  EDIT - until my boyfriend pointed out that my left knee looks like its going INWARDS! Ergh! >.<

I also had 2 shoots last Saturday (28th) in Sheffield, one was with Admirion and the other was with Crippen. 
I was a little disappointed with the Admirion shoot for one reason only, I had bought a new corset for it and because I didn't take a chaperone I didn't have anyone to lace me into it properly. I can't do it myself because I can't make it as tight as it will go, it usually goes to a 22inch but it just really didn't with only me doing it =[ anyway heres a picture from that shoot - 



I don't have any pictures back from the Crippen shoot but I'm hoping to soon =) 

I had a shoot with Vision On Photography too in Cottingley, heres a picture - 



No piercings! Hehe.

There ya go anyway.

New shoot pics

  • Jun. 25th, 2008 at 5:11 PM

These pictures are from a shoot last Sunday (15th June) with Charles Waller. 
They were shot in or on the premises of Dalton Mills.
And thank you to Gary of the Sewer Rats for lending the trike for the shoot =)







Poor me

  • Jun. 5th, 2008 at 6:19 PM

Ouch, my feet hurt. My first full week is almost over, hehe. 

I want to get a bath and fall asleep in it. 
Why does Dr Pepper cost so much now? £1.19 for a small bottle =[ 

I've just got back into Breed 77 I think, I've always loved them but I stopped listening to them as much, but it came on when I had my ipod on shuffle and an awesome song it was too - 'Empty Words' so now I'm listening to them again. 

Its my mums birthday today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY not that she reads my LJ but oh well. 
I have painted Megan (her dalmation) for her in acrylics on an A4 canvas. 

Kev bought me a creme egg twisted bar, awesome. 

I have shoots next week, I think. Well we've been discussing shoots for next week but I may make them the week after depending on what times the photographers have available. 

Ta-ta for now.

Oooh

  • Jun. 3rd, 2008 at 6:27 PM

So I started my new job on Thursday, and its going quite well! I was a bit nervous at first but I've got into it now :) 

Although I did buy £10's worth of card making stuff today >.< we had just got the new stock in too so I went a bit crazy picking things up off the stand (Bare in mind everything was £1 and I got discount off that too) So I'm gonna have a play around. 

Let me know when your birthday is and I might send you a card ^_^ 

This Saturday will be my first Saturday not working in about 1 and a half years, wooo!

I'm feeling lazy

  • May. 23rd, 2008 at 12:05 PM

I got up late today, oops, I should really go into town, I need to buy things suitable for new job (shoes, hair haha, etc) 
Especially since this is the last day I can, I'm working all next week and Monday things will probably be closed for bank holiday. 

I also need to tidy my room >.<

Busy week

  • May. 22nd, 2008 at 11:44 PM

So next week is gonna be fairly busy (for me anyway) I'm not used to doing something everyday since I left college haha, but next week I shall be working all week, other than Monday obviously. 
Tuesday - Crazy Cats
Wednesday - Crazy Cats
Thursday - art shop
Friday - art shop
Saturday - Crazy Cats

I've been discussing 2 shoots now, with 2 really good photographers, one of them I have wanted to work with for a while :) 

I'm really fussy about themes etc, I get a bit weird if its been done to death already, even if I love the idea. 

If anyone has a good shoot idea let me know :) I have one idea I really want to do but that should really be a studio shoot. 

Pah, I need to re dye my roots. And buy some new shoes :s 

xxx

Finally!

  • May. 21st, 2008 at 4:41 PM

My speakers decided to stop working so I couldn't listen to my precious music for a bit unless I just listened to my ipod. 
But I just swapped the speakers back over (even though my old speakers are shit) and I can listen to music again ^_^ 
Although my other ones may be fixable, but this'll do for the moment. 

That's all really, I was quite happy about this.

  • May. 21st, 2008 at 3:04 PM

I just read through my other journal entries, not that theres many on this one, I need to start using this thing more. 
I used my old one all the time. 

Well all my old ones are now set to private, I don't want to delete them but they don't apply anymore. 
Haven't for a while. 

So there ya go :)

I intend to use this every day, whether I actually do or not, is a different thing entirely.
