Kontou, Qee, Envy, Joy & PYPE

mood: dirtydirty
music: Rhianna - Shut up and drive

MY GOD I've missed this place...I feel like one of the founders...back when I made my first one (which I WISH I hadn't deleted) I was about 14 and the only person I knew with one was Miss Shelly of Newboobsland! I wanna put more effort into this journal...I already regret all of the things I havn't catalogued for future reflection...it's been over a year. So much has happened! I'll just do a quick run-down. Met Andre on March 12th after a 5 month text flavoured courtship...we started going out on March 13th...he stayed over that night but had to leave in the morning to take his dad to the hospital...but when he returned (which I half didn't expect him to do, lol) he brought with him my very first Qee [2.5inch bundles of impossibly well designed cuteness] my newest and most extravagent obsession!
Qee's are vinyl art toys and I currently have 100...including a 16" monster of boy that we have christened 'Q'. If you can't picture them, breed barbie and beanie babies...Qee is the result! What else, what else?? I got a job with a post-production company and moved down to London. Living with Andre and his family was a challenge but I think it was important for all of us
...alas it wasn't to be with ENVY the shite-house as I was kicked out...it just wasn't my thing. It was like being in prison and I was everyones favourite bitch....It's a very bizarre story. Umm...I've had a genuine breakdown now, not a false alarm, oh no....I had to keep picking the pieces of melted brain out of my ears...never fun, but I feel better now. I enrolled on a Microsoft Certified Web-Design course...which should of been fun but I had to take this fucking ECDL first, which sucked cos nothing could ever be more boring and SIMPLE. This portion of the course has taken me a year, leaving me with a 2 month space to complete 10 modules...not gonna happen me thinks...but I'll try. Things are going well at the studio, I've been touring and the girls have moved to a sexy new pad in Tottenham...so yeah all is smooth in the SheDevil country. So much has happened that I can barely remember....I got a job at a little boutique-chain of shops called 'Joy' and it was delightful,
I met some amazing people and was promoted to Supervisor!! lol...it sparked a bit of a chain reaction for me as once I'd left that crazy, event holding, cocktail drinking at work, dress up as hookers job...as I have started my own fashion label. Here's a snippet from the press release....
'PYPE is a new fashion brand introducing a fresh approach to a positive lifestyle by taking undiscovered elements of alternative social cultures and throwing them head first into the mainstream. PYPE is an acronym for ‘Prove Your Passion Exists’, self awareness, self confidence and self expression are the running themes behind the style that makes PYPE what it is, as it’s customer base grows, the label develops, taking on new styles, colours and a life of it’s own, tantalizing both men and women and welcoming them into the PYPE philosophy of creative and personal encouragement. Fusing beauty with function, the clothes are wearable and versatile, allowing the customer to personalize themselves as they wish, allowing them to become a true reflection of the person that they are and or hope to be.
Hot right? lol Anyway...enough catching up...I'm sure I'll remember to include the extra shit soon... Livejournal...I love you! .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Bee Stings & Wanting Things

May. 29th, 2007 | 01:45 pm

What a tragic day...it all began when I woke up and reached instantly for my poota...I was bidding on a 10" DIY GITD Knuckle Bear and I had a mear 40 minutes before the auction was over! Obviously I was the highest bidder...until the last 6 seconds when some utter wanker came out of nowhere and stole my precious angel from me! I was so close to tears I can't tell you. Then just moments later to add injury to insult...I was stung by a bee!!! I've never been stung by a bee before, it wasn't nearly as painful as it was shocking...bless the poor little guy, he was just walking along my shoulder, if I'd of known he was a bee I wouldn't of picked him up and flung him across the room! By some miracle he managed to walk back to the window. I called Andre and mum to see what I should do, I was advised to go and buy some wasp stuff from the chemist, so off I went with my finger wrapped up tight in tissue, it was really starting to throb now. I arrived at Boots to discover that nobody speaks english anymore...I am DISGUSTED that I can't even find someone with even a beginners knowledge of MY language, English, in MY OWN COUNTRY, ENGLAND! Don't misunderstand me, this is not a race thing...not by any stretch of the imagination do I wish to become the next big dictator and banish groups of people from my fair kingdom, but I do want someone to at least attempt to learn my language before I am in the minority...it's just not the way it should be!

I've spent the majority of my afternoon in Andre's bed looking at these amazing homemade computer cases...people have been doing the most amazing things...so I'm gonna have a go with a 16" DIY Qee!!

I want so many things!

Proms, Waffles & Gameboys

May. 27th, 2007 | 01:44 pm
location: André's Room
mood: sleepysleepy
music: Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder


 

What a weekend!

It's been months and months in the making...Thursday was my little sisters last day of school and Friday was the Prom! It's technically the first american style Prom in the history of the school so it was a massive deal. Francesca, being a future student of the fashion retail academy, had her dress custom made, she couldn't stand the thought of some other girl turning up in the same dress. She had a staff of 5 preparing her and it still wasn't acceptable. Her hair wasn't big enough? Her tights were beige? at one point she actually said to Mum 'I HATE YOU...I DON'T KNOW WHY RIGHT NOW BUT I DO, I HATE YOU SO MUCH!' haha. Personally I thought she looked stunning, but what would I know...anyway...to cut an incredibly long story short, we eventually made it up to Charlotte's house where the 16 members of their little clique were being picked up by limo to take them 14 feet down the road to the school. The stretch hummer turned up 40 minutes late, much to the dismay of every single person...but before we knew it they were on their way...all the parents, myself, Andre, Jade and Mum included bolted up to the school to take pictures from the other side...the whole situation was incredibly stressful and none of us still feel like we've fully recovered.

Today was certainly a challenge. We went out to 'The Waffle House' for lunch with my dad and his girlfriend, the girlfriend that we have, up until recently, vowed to despise for reasons that have never been that clear to any of us, I think we just needed someone to blame for everything wrong in the world and it happened to be her. It turned out all right, no major disasters, except for a few racial slurs that I really didn't appriciate. It was nothing extreme, just awkward. After that ordeal was over we decided to start clearing out the loft room to make way for all of Jade's belongings...Francesca and I stumbled across some real gems!! The best item I recovered was a gameboy watch I had when I was younger...I'm gonna replace the battery and make a Super Mario wrist strap...will post pics when I've done it...

Mum also made a wonderful attempt at cooking a Sunday roast...her dinners are usually LEGENDARY, however today was unfortunate...I got very delirious at one point and squelched the jelly and ice-cream (I know!) all over my face...hehe

Tomorrow Andre and I are going to the Southend Air Show...hopefully the weather will be nice cos last year it was amazing!

Anyway...that was my first blog post, it's been ages since I wrote in an online journal type thing...I would continue with my old journal from a couple years ago but LiveJournal hasn't had any press attention, lol, I need to be where the cool is...for those who are interested, bless you if you are, my old journal link is www.livejournal.com/~gjco0k...I think

websites, borders & a boy named Dre

Feb. 17th, 2006 | 02:08 am
mood: pleasedpleased
music: Sugababes - I bet that you look good on the dancefloor

Okay journal...I've been neglecting you, so I've made you this lovely new layout, and I also bare news...

I've met a boy named Dre...he's refreshingly chilled out, funny as hell, intelligent & the kid is greek. Mmmmmm...greeeeek.

I've been a website for the past few months thanks to the studio. I'm starting to forget I'm an artist there...I've just been designing for months! The site is looking nice though, and I'm gonna funk it up even further pretty damn soon.

I've gone part-time at Borders...I love it too much to let it go completely, but I need to chill out a bit, and work on my body HARDCORE! Island Records have given me a huge confidence boost, so I'm gonna start shows in April/May time...which is probably when I'll finally see the greek one (he works from 9pm to 9am...which explains my sleep pattern)

I have a new vocal lover...her name is Amelle, she is the new SUGABABE! You neeeeeed to hear this girl sing 'I bet you look good on the dancefloor'...it's made my day so much nicer!

I'll be back soon...promise x

.UPDATE.

This is the tracklisting for the album so far...it'll probably change about a bit, but I like to look at it and pretend that it's all finished and ready for release, lol
