the rush to be lush

(PHOTO HEAVY BLOG)


Allo.

I have some grrreat news! Its going to be grreat! They're gonna taste grreat!


(Just to annoy y'all UK kids)

Yeah. So; the great thing is that I have a new boss at work! Well, a new person in charge of me and the other Theatre Aides (my job title) : D! Shes a Senior ODP - operating department practitioner - and my dad and everyone had known her for ages. Shes a classy, tell-it-to-your-face American woman and I love her! She really has always looked out for me at work so its great to know I have someone I actually like and trust to be in charge of me! And, she's being fairer than the PRICK I had before, and actually giving me more shifts - which he said he couldn't give me - so ill be back to working 5 days again..a long stretch but my purse will most definitely enjoy this!

Aside from this, Ive come to share some photos and stuff, as per. I got my camera back from Niijii the other week, so here are the photos from the same day as this post:

stupid guy took a picture while I had my eyes and doing mash potato...

STREET SNAP!

Caryn~

Nij~

Floz~

Moi~

And then when I went back to Nij's, I dressed up as a fortune teller..haha! I actually liked the look!

There are other photos but im not uploading them here LOL. There are some videos ill try and upload through the Blogger video thing, maybe the next blog post~

Last weekend, I went to Norwich to see gals! I saw Toni, Bloomzy, Alanna, Claire, and their friend Katie :D

We had a great time hanging out, chatting and going round the stores. Toni said "oh, Norwich isn't very big really"..ITS DAMN HUGE!

photos!

I was cheeky and went 1st class on the train as it was cheap with my railcard (which ive just remembered that I need to renew...shit) and it was soo comfrotable. I really didn't have much sleep that week so I nearly went to sleep on the way but couldn't because I realised my hair would go all funny, and I was wearing extens so I didn't really feel like chancing it to be honest. PHOTOS:

my breakfast on the way to LDN to get the train

We went to a Japanese restaurant called Sakura which was run by REAL Japanese people! Im sick of going into "Japanese" restaurants with rude as hell Chinese and Korean staff...

BLOGGERS

I had to sharpen this as the woman that took it, took it blurry

There was a festival going on! and to mention that it was DAMN HOT. like 30+ degrees!

Hello Kitty items at H&M, my fave : D

Supplies for the train home, yes, 3 magazines, 4 if you count COSMOPOLITAN's "31 days of Summer Sex" haha

Last Tuesday I went to the monthly Japanese social event in London (one is the second month of every Tuesday, and one is every Thursday) and we saw this on a table:

A girl had sat here and made bunnies out of all different coloured papers! The Zebra one was instead of black paper I think as it went down in colours. Sorry for bad photo, but it was sooo cute!

THIS COMING THURSDAY, 22ND JULY, the Gal Circle, (well, some of us) are doing another Culture Talk at Kyoto Event, so if you happen to be in London, please come!

here is the Facebook event page!

I almost forgot to say! I have my first photoshoot in 2 yearson Monday! exciting!

And Im still waiting to see the MV! I can't wait ~

For my last set of photos, me and my sister went shopping today. I had to make a return to H&M, but there isn't one in my town, so I went to another one, Wimbledon (yes, where they play tennis and eat strawberries at select times of the year) and ended up making a return, as well as some purchases, but I only spent £30 so im dead happy : D SALES are everywhere! yay!

LUSH Dark Angels. Its actually like, jet black, but the lighting in the room made it a grey-ish colour

LUSH Fresh Farmacy. I haven't a photo of the item as I haven't opened it yet, so check out the website's listing instead.

I love this bag! Its like a fake Pauls' Boutique bag haha

I love this on the inside of the tee! SO true : D

Thats it! OH and if you're from the UK and haven't seen Misfits yet, THEN FUCKING WATCH IT

(I don't know if you'd be able to in US, sorry!)

Hello!

Ive come to tell you about the Music Video I did! And also to bring you the *NEW* mini album by egg favourites, Aina and Yumachi!

I might as well tell you as to how I got the job in the first place; Max (who used to do the Roppongi Street clubnights in LDN) got a message from a production company who were looking for different styles of dances that aren't really seen, or haven't been seen here yet and somehow, they found Para Para, and wanted Max to appear in the video. Unfortunately, Max is currently living in Japan, but passed my name onto the team instead.... And then came the QUICK process that landed me the role! So, big thanks to Max for helping me out on this one, especially since I thought he was funny with me when he moved to JP :3

Sunday

I got a wall post from Max, and then a message on Facebook from the team telling me that they were after a Paralist and that they got my name from Max! I gave them a call rather than relying on email, and went in for a casting 2 hours later. They videoed me doing some freestyle para to the artist's song (which was SO difficult as the song is a lot slower than para!) and then sent that to the Record Label to see if they would approve me, which they were hoping for as they said they really liked the stuff I did, so it was all fingers crossed~!

Monday

I had a wardrobe fitting booked at the same place, even though I hadn't yet been approved by the label, as they hadn't got in touch with the production company. 1 hour before coming in for the fitting, I got a call to say that I had definitely been approved, which was awesome! I brought along some stuff, like my sailor fuku and they fitted me with a fuku-like outfit from their own wardrobe. The filming was the next day, but because I was at work, "special allowances" were made for me lol...

Tuesday

I arrived at the studio at 3PM straight from work, even though the dancers (there were 6 of us in all) were supposed to arrive at 12PM to get hair and makeup started. They told me I would probably be shot last, and I was worried that everyone was waiting on me, but luckily nothing had been filmed, so the dancers had been sitting around for a while just practising and chatting so I settled in and got my hair and makeup done, as well as get changed

Damn quick! The other dancers all had styles I had never really seen, apart from one guy who did Locking. The original style of the video was supposed to be like a Japanese TV show but they changed it to a disco themed talent show instead, but me and another person's dances didn't fit because the overall theme was the "70s" and our styles were 80s, 90s and 10s! so.... I actually felt pretty much an outcast because the other people (ranging in ages 17-31) are all professional dancers. 2 of them went, and one still goes, to bloody Pineapple Dance Studios... YEAH!

They were all talking in dance lingo and I was like "riiiight then..." and then they asked me where I trained to do my dance and I said "er....I learnt it off the internet actually" and their faces just dropped. Maaaan. I was some sad para kid and these guys were really dead serious! I mean, don't get me wrong, im serious about Para, but doing gis like music videos and commercials and stuff is THEIR LIFE. wth! and they get paid (or so they were saying) PROPER good money! Yet, they pass it off as if its nothing...spoiiilt. One of them did the McDonald's World Cup UK advert and was in it for a few seconds and got paid (so he said) £8fuckingthousand.

WHAT THE HELL

Now, I don't know if thats really true but he seemed dead serious, as did the others. And what was scary was that they kept saying "you're one of US now, you're part of our little group!" and "when you get an agent you'll be working all the time! maybe with us too!"....don't get me wrong, they are nice guys, but who wants to sign someone who does crazy brown (i.e.manba and/or banba) and para para to an agent??? apart from that, the shooting went well! they wanted me to make a routine, so I made up soemthing that wasn't a complete avex or etc routine, with lots of hearts (they asked me to!) and when I did the hearts the WHOLE room went "AWWWWWWWWWWWWW OMG!!! SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"...lol!

We finished at 10pm and I got back at midnight...ugh....im DAMN tired.

I don't want to put up lots of videos because I don't want to get into trouble, but the video comes out in 2 weeks so : )

AND NOW for Yuma and Aina!

I preordered the Limited Edition version of the mini album, which is called QUEEN:

And I not only got the album, but I also got a LAGGY towel and hair scrunchie! LAGGY is the clothing line that the girls have come up with, but its pronounced really weird! You'd think it would be "LA-GEE" but they say it as "LA-GU-JI" ....huh? lol! I know its for the Japanese translation or whatever but there could have been a better way around it, like ラーギー or something. nevermind!

(not this yellowy - it was bad lighting, very sunny!)

(a cute sticker I got!)

My towel and scrunchie!

Ive uploaded the album onto Gal_Style at lj for all of you to enjoy~(once its approved)

Ciao!

news baby

HELLO EVERYONE!

Staying true to the short "blog" today, heres an update of my wonderful, boring life! (And im not going to make this blog really like, wordy, like they always are, my bloody life story)

FLIGHTS TO JAPAN ARE OFFICIALLY BOOKED TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------

Living TV (women's channel in the UK) has been airing all the old seasons of America's Next Top Model right from the beginning so ive been watching those. I used to watch it religiously but stopped watching the series with Jaslene (can't remember number) halfway through (I know who wins anyway but still) so its been good to catch up! I guess its because a new, well, I say "new" but its always old by the time it

 hits us after showing in the US, cycle is coming on the screen soon! Another Britain's Next Top Model is airing on July 5th...what a flop that is. Im sorry but its just not that good! I caught the finale of Australia's Next Top Model and its odd! The public vote for the winner, as do the judges :z they don't look back at all their old stuff, they just say how well they thought a certain girl did in the competition and how much they like them and they get a point, and then the public cast a vote and whoever gets the most points, wins :z I don't know...whatever lol

I haven't had anymore Spike dreams...come on James Marsters! Where are you in my head?? lol! I watched an interview with him from like, last summer, and I didn't know he was in the Dragonball Z movie! He also looks damn old....ill be the Bunny to his Hugh Hefner! LOL. While I haven't been dreaming of James Marsters or watching ANTM, ive been working and meeting up with the Gal Circle! Saturday just gone we went to a theme park, Chessington World of Adventures. Think of it as a tamer, closer and smaller Thorpe Park. Noone wanted to go on big or scary rides so it was perfect for us to go to! I used to go a lot as a kid and stuff, and my NHS trust (there are all different ones around the country) used to hire out the whole park (for 7,000 people) and my Dad would get tickets for £5 each. Baaaaaaargain. And it was cooler because it was open at nighttime, and didn't close at stupid o'clock (5PM ...) For those of you that haven't got the delightful social networking site that is Facebook, or haven't got me as a friend, here are a couple of photos, and ill upload some videos later:

And my make up (which I was really proud of ! but the photo doesn't show well : D )

The week before, my girl Floz had a BBQ which was class! I only have a few photos from this, mainly of the claaaaassy corner shop which sold all sorts of random jelly toys, and some videos....

In other news that I mentioned in the mini post today, im going to be in a music video! I know I spoke a looong time ago about a guy wanting me to do Para Para for an American artist, but that kind of fell through. This is for a proper production company and band! The artists are called The Count & Sinden and the track is featuring the popular UK Indie band, The Mystery Jets, so its looking good! The clothes ill be wearing are..interesting lol, but thats show business as my boyfriend said lol. Oh, ill be doing Para Para for the video, along with 5 other young dancers doing alternative styles of dancing. Ive heard there is something similar to Vogueing so that will be really interesting! Watch Benny Ninja go! He's so flexible and fabulous!

and last but not least...ive been going back to old school music!

Such a class song! even if the styling isn't amazing, but check out the class dancing too!

OUT!

an interesting day

How many of you have ever suffered from a shitty day? Most of us right? I swear, I seem to be affected by them SO MUCH.

Yesterday when I was leaving my man's house, the bus I was on got shot at. What the fuck!!!!
The plexiglass in the window made such a huge popping noise and it was all shattered, and you could see where the window had been aimed at...it was so weird, and not to mention freaky! My sister gets on that bus after school....like, imagine if it had gone right THROUGH the window and she had been on it...thats way to horrible to think about. I mean, I know I said before about my town not being that great, don't get my wrong, I don't live in the ghetto where people are living in fear or anything, but there are nasty people here, I mean, there was a drive by shootout down the road and the whole place got closed off, it was like the apocalypse...

I NEED TO GET OUT WHILE I STILL CAN!!!!!!!

I had to get off the bus and get on another one ¬_¬ and I had to pay twice. Dude.

Later on when I was going to my Japanese tutor (yeah, I need to SERIOUSLY think about that now), an ATM decided it would be funny to take my card and then switch off. Great. THANKS A LOT! After entering my PIN, everything froze, so I couldn't select any kind of service, so I kept pressing "cancel" to get my card back, and the whole ATM decides its not going to have any of it. I didn't realise, but although its like a machine, its run by like, Windows XP??? wth? Yeah, so it rebooted itself and declared itself "out of use" but then was "working" after it completed its reboot, and still didn't give me my card back! I waited for half an hour in the cold and rain (its supposed to be June isn't it???) for it to do nothing!

My telephone conversation with the bank was rather amusing, not to mention, ANNOYING;

Bank: Hello, has your card been lost or stolen?
Me: An ATM has decided to eat it
B: Oh right, okay. Now, do you have your account details with you?
M:... The ATM has STOLEN my card with my DETAILS on it
B: Oh right...let me take your full name and home details then

[after giving her my details]

B: Im not finding anything on our system, are you sure you're a customer?
M:...If I wasn't a customer why would I be calling up to say that one of YOUR cards has been LOST inside one of YOUR machines?!
B: Oh right...Are you certain you have an account with us? Because im not finding anything here
M: Are you having a laugh?
B: No im not actually
M: Well neither am I!
B: You're going to have to call us up later with your details at hand and we can help you then. Are you close to home at the moment?
M: I won't be there for another 2-3 hours at least....
B: Oh right...Well, theres not much I can do now, and besides, the ATM will have destroyed your card so you don't need to worry
M:!!!! Destroyed it?? WHY, THAT IS SOOO DUMB
B:....Well, a lot of the new machines tend to do that
M: So if I walk off, its not going to spit the card out at someone else?
B: No
M: Well, good then
B: Yes...
M: So how long until I can get a new card?
B: Around 7-10 working days
M: Oh you;re having a LAUGH
B:....okay
M: Right well, cheers then
B: Is there anything else I can help you with?
M: ...NO

SHE DIDN'T BLOODY HELP ME AT ALL!
Thank GOD ive still got my old cashcard account, so I can at least use that until my new card comes. But its just so annoying because I have to cancel all my eBay and stuff like that, and ive just done a new payment for something so ill have to cancel that now too..grrr!

Im going to eat some penguin bars and...make Buffy characters on the Sims 3...and...play Harvest Moon!!!!
