Cycle Race!

Yesterday I went to see the Tour of Britain passing through Exwick (this time round it was just skimming the edge of the city), no glamour pictures, still not feeling 100%  although my lurgi seems to be dissipating nicely. Hopefully it should all be gone by the weekend.

Here come the leaders!

The camera decided to freeze here, it didn't unfreeze until they were out of sight!



Here comes the main field









All the Support Cars.

In good news it seems I've won £125 on the Premium Bonds - I might finally get the boots in the window of Long Tall Sally that I've been lusting after for the last month (not helped by the shop being on my walk to and from work/town).

I've also bought tickets to see Lacuna Coil at the Lemon Grove next month. Woo!

Movies, Goals and Sight

Last night I had a very enjoyable evening with friends where we watched Kick-Ass. A fantastic film that even manages to make Nicolas Cage look good (I even think he might actually be a good actor, but just picks the wrong films) and how fantastic is Hit Girl! I can see why the tabloids didn't like it (though amusingly that was more to do with language then with the bloody skewering of several bad guys in the same scene!)
Also in an effort to sort myself out, I've decided to set myself a few goals to improve my sanity, life and things in general.

• Get a new job - I'm reaching the point where I'm fearing for my sanity (and seriously so), not because of the callers (who can't help being stupid) but because of management incompetence and their general attitude towards me. I'm so looking forward to being able to give my notice in.
  
• Sort the flat out - I really need to de clutter! (Plus need to re-enforce my ratproofing).
  
• Get a Girlfriend and/or Boifriend - I'd like some company (and a few other things). I also think company would serve to encourage my glamour and motivate me further.
  
• Improve my confidence - it's grown in leaps and bounds but is still a little lacking.

I also have booked myself an appointment to get contacts - would mean that a glam me would be able to see things!

A catchup

OK, I've not been good at keeping the blog up to date, so here is a bit of a poorly written catchup in a deadspot at work.

Firstly I've been quite social of late, mostly pub trips with friends including a really nice walk to the Doublelocks.

I'm also now the proud owner of a pair of beautiful dumbo rats called Frankie and Rocky, I'll try and get some pictures and more about then up in the next couple of days.

Together with a couple of friends we have started a Goth fitness group, doing regular runs with the goal of being more more fabulous, so far we are doing about 2 miles at a time but hope to increase that soon.

Am also trying to plan my outfit for Rocky Horror in a couple of weeks time. I have a few ideas, mostly variations on Sexy Goth and will definatly take pictures on the night.

Glamour Goals Update

Almost six months ago I posted some goals that I was aiming for in a bid to improve my glamour. I thought I would give a little progress report.

Work more on the makeup skills so I don't end up looking overdone

This I’ve been a bit hit and miss on. My makeup skills are indeed improving, but I am still very much a girl of very dark eye makeup. I have however learnt a couple of tricks to make it look more feminine. One very simple technique I’ve learnt is to not fully line the lower lid. Instead stopping slightly short which gives my eyes a more ‘lifted’ appearance. I’ve also slightly changed the shape I make with my shadow, taking inspiration from Grog (singer with Die So Fluid) which has also improved my look somewhat.

I also attempted some very extravagant makeup, think I need a bit more practice and not try and overreach myself either. I was doing well until I thought it would be a good idea to style my brows into the look. “Eek!” is the best way to describe the results.

Get my brows done so they look more feminine, I'm a bit too skittish to do my own!

Following a few lessons from the lovely Kate I am now doing my brows with varying degrees of success, I’m getting there, just need more practice at making them even. Still I will keep practicing.

Work on a daytime look that isn't wrapped up in many coats/hats & scarves.

This is something I’ve made quite good progress on. I’ve bought quite a few girly fit T-shirts which I will wear with a light hooded top or similar as I’m still a bit paranoid about my boi shoulders. Still I am looking forward to wrapping up again in nice snugly coats.

Get rid of my boi hair - now I'm more willing to show more flesh my arms are a little embarrassing

I’m afraid this is still very much ‘To-Do’ – I do run the trimmer over my arms, but I would like something a bit more long term. Unfortunately Laser removing all my boi hair would cost an absolute bomb. Guess I’ll have to get much more intimate with a Mach 3 much more often. The blood will be flowing!

 

I’ll update the progress and will hopefully add some more goals soon. Now with it being a horrible rainy day I think I’ll have a bath and do my legs…

HKBOP: An intro

When browsing sites like Flickr, I’ll sometimes see an outfit or a look that I really like, I will often save it to print out and place in the Hello Kitty Book of Pretty. This is a scrap book of inspirations, I won’t copy slavishly but I will try and take something and then put my own twist on it.

In future entries, I’ll be taking a few examples from the book and will tell you why I chose that image and what I might do with it. For now I thought I’d better explain before you wonder what I’m on about!

A return

Its been a hectic couple of months so I’ve had to put the Glam Log on the back burner for a bit. I’m going to ease myself back in by posting weekly for a bit. (and I have a few VLOGs to post as “catch-up” like a glam version of the iplayer :) I’ll also be posting up a few images from the HKBOP (Hello Kitty book of pretty) – I’ll explain about that when the time comes.

Hopefully I will write more very very soon

Overworked

Sorry for the lack of updates - I've been on a Rota of Doom so have been mostly at work (and with the added stress of having to learn how to use new software.)

Still I did have a night out last Saturday, we had planned to go to the Alternative 80's night, but the venue had decided to squeeze a party in aswell. So we left for the White Hart in search of space and seating.

I'm currently trying to work out what to wear come the summer - so far most of my girlmode stuff is wintery (warm and snuggly) so I think I'm going to have to find some more summery stuff

Upcoming Attractions

I have a few things coming up that should result in glam nights out.

Firstly on Friday there is a one off party at the university run by the LGBT society, which should be good :) Would make a change from a bar with DJ...

Then in March, Jeffree Star is playing, not sure its worth the £15 just for a Myspace 'celebrity' but he is very pretty :)

There is also a very slim chance of a trip to London in March too, not sure if that will come off yet.

So my Calendar is looking busier :)
