I got an A on my first course unit, with good feedback, so I'm very happy about that!
It's also finally sunny and warm outside, our summer wasn't looking too promising, but then again it rarely ever is, we may get a few spurts of hot weather and sunny days then it just goes all cold and grey again, although I do love the thunder storms!
This past weekend I went to Kapow! Comic Convention in London, on Saturday I went as a character from an X-MEN storyline called Age of Apocalypse, her name is Blink, here's a reference picture:
And here is a picture my friend Anna did:
(If you steal this picture I'll hunt you down, this was taken by my friend and she's good at what she does and deserves credit for it)
Anyway, I only wore her for the Saturday because the make up was such a pain to put on, I was at least 2 hours in the bathroom, that and things were going wrong, the crystal broke, which I had to superglue back together, then I glued my fingers, then the button on the collar were falling off so had to superglue them, then the snazaroo pink face paint took ages to blend and make sure everywhere was covered, even then the gloves were sadly falling down revealing my natural skin colour. Then my leggins were falling down (they were made, along with the rest of the costume apart from the wig, by another good friend of mine, Ang) but I managed to find a way of keeping them up lol
I was also running on no sleep, when we got back to our friend's place I was feeling quite unwell and again, got hardly any sleep so felt pretty awful on Sunday, so although I wanted to, I really couldn't be bothered to wear Blink again, it's definitely not an effortless costume, in regards to the make up anyway, but I'll practice and get quicker at it.
On the last day we went to the pub and had a lot of laughs with good friends, I acquired the nickname of "Fingerlimes" because the cokes we had had limes in them and people kept giving me theirs and I just put them on my fingers...yeah don't ask, I think it was sleep-deprived-craziness lol.
I think that's it for now, oh, my current obsession seems to be between: Plums, Doritos and Mild Salsa Dip, and Pistachio Peanuts.
