Three Week Catch Up

I know I haven’t posted in forever, and I’m sorry. So in this post I’m going to talk about everything that’s happened over the past few weeks!
Well, three weeks ago I turned 16 and one of my best friends turned 19. I didn’t get much, though what I did get was money and that’s pretty much all I wanted. My best friend however had a big sleepover and we watched several movies; Grave Encounters, The Purge, Dredd, and VHS. That was also the last week of school for the first semester, so after that I had two weeks of holiday.
In the first week of holiday I did quite a lot;
Saturday – Another of my friends celebrated his birthday and had a large group of us go to his place to hang out and play both video and table top games.
Monday – Filming with my media partner and our main actress for our music video. This took us a good couple of hours and was really quite fun; wandering around a vineyard and then messing around in a little grove of trees.
Wednesday – I had my last physio appointment for my sprained ankle (It’s so much better now) and then I had a group of friends come over to finally celebrate my birthday. It was meant to be a movie night, but we just ended up messing around on Siri and hanging out. The next morning we went into town for breakfast before most of the group went to their respective homes. The one person to stay was my ‘Senpai’ who ended up staying another night.
Saturday – The first cosplay picnic. I was dressed as Fionna from Adventure Time and it was loads of fun even if it was cold and wet. After the picnic I went home with a couple of my friends. We watched anime before heading out to go food shopping, picking up another person on the way. The three of them live at a Dorm in town so it’s always interesting hanging out with them. After shopping we all had dinner before I got dropped off home.
Sunday – The second cosplay picnic! This time I was Roxy Lalonde from Homestuck while a lot of my friends went as various trolls from the comic. We took a load of photos though I haven’t seen a lot of them yet.
SECOND WEEK OF HOLIDAYS:
Monday – My parents left for Britain! They’re there for a month; it’s my cousin’s wedding, and they have to sort stuff out to do with my Grandma who I do believe has gone into a home.
Wednesday – I went to the dentist. Though a lot of people don’t like dentists I really don’t mind them at all. Two of my teeth were fixed up as they had deep grooves (nothing serious, just a precaution so I don’t end up with holes in those teeth).
Thursday – Haircut and birthday party! My hair now has barely any purple in it; only the very tips, so the rest of my hair is dark blonde again. The birthday party was loads of fun and I got to see a couple of my friends from Wellington. It was casual cosplay so I went as Casual!Stuck Rose Lalonde and there was a LOT of pizza c:
Friday – I went round to one of my friends houses for a while before heading into town where I ran into a few of my friends. We then proceeded to go on a group not-date. Heaps of food, messing around, and then a sleepover. We also discovered that three people can JUST fit on a single mattress if they all spoon. That was definitely an interesting night.
Sunday – Another of my best friends had a birthday! His actual birthday was today (he’s 18 now, so old. Why are all my friend adults?) Got to see people again, and I now have dinner plans for just before the school ball! I can only imagine the look on my face when I got asked if I wanted to have dinner… I sorta just pulled my hood over my face completely and i was most likely bright red.
Then school started again.

Freelance Modelling

I may not be skinny, but I’ve been signed up with a modelling agency for almost eight years. I also haven’t had a modelling job before, but I’ve only had my photos done twice; once when I was eight, and once when I was twelve. Hopefully I’ll be updating my portfolio once I turn sixteen, but I want to have some freelance shoots as well. I’ve talked to Mum about it and she’s agreed to let me do some freelance modelling shoots. Currently I don’t have anyone to photograph me so she’ll be doing it, but I cannot express just how happy I am about this.

I did a modelling workshop when I first joined the agency, though it was more simple scripted things; not catwalk modelling. I don’t have the skinny, tall figure for catwalk modelling, but at the same time I’m not plus size. I’m curvy, slightly chubby, and short. Though from what a lot of people have told me, and trust me when I say a lot, they actually prefer my kind of figure to the skinny girls.

Skinny girls are pretty of course, but they flood our media so the curves and chubbiness is a nice breath of fresh air. Hopefully the media soon latches onto that and becomes more flexible in the body types used; there are already companies who do this, but a lot of modelling is still done by the women with more boyish figures after Twiggy changed the face of modelling.

Busy Two Days

Looks like tomorrow will be rather busy. First I’m getting my eyes tested because I’m 6 months overdue a checkup, then I’m getting my legs waxed and I’m both excited and nervous about that. I’ll have nice smooth legs again, but it’ll probably really hurt. Oh well. Then the next day I’ve got a hair appointment and I’m getting my hair trimmed and dyed turquoise… As long as the dye goes the proper colour that is. I have a decent amount of regrowth and my hair dresser and recommended that I don’t bleach my hair first, though if I did it would come out right. She doesn’t want me to damage my hair too much, and bleach would destroy it; especially with just how curly my hair is.

I’ll be a completely different person after all this c:

A Little Bit Of Fashion

 

So I had a little impromptu photo shoot thing. Bad quality camera+improvised lolita outfit=crappy photos. But I honestly don’t care; I think it’s a cute outfit c:

Boredom and Sharpies

I know it’s no the best quality, but oh my gosh it’s hard to take a photo of your own arm all the way around. In case you can’t tell, the really dense part is a tonne of flowers c:

Blogging… At School

Today I’m starting on that other blog for Media Studies and I’m actually in class as I type. Hopefully I can remember how I customized this one cos I want it to look the same…

Oh! And hopefully I’ll remember to take some photos of my new boots when I get home (By new I mean I’ve had them for like a week and I’ve been lazy about sharing lately). Wish me luck on my project and as soon as I’ve actually got this new blog started up I’ll add it to my ‘Other Sites’ page c:
