mannequins and pretty things

I have a Facebook page for people to contact me through for my corsets, and on this page i add random people and random people add me..its just a way for people to see what i do, anyway..so i add and get added by a lot of burlesque and corset people..one of which is this wonderful company..corset laced mannequins. whenever i browse their online store i get lost...and wish to goodness i had more money. so many things i want! especially the mannequins, obviously, but also, table wear and things..just..aargh.

Can't you just imagine fruit salad and
Eton mess in these in the summer?
I can..
I wish there were matching glasses,
for lemonade and pimms.

This summer is going to be good :)

meditation..boring?

http://how-to-meditate.org/ = amazing resource!

''With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked. It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated. It can even affect our health. We are often so busy we feel there is no time to stop and meditate! But meditation actually gives you more time by making your mind calmer and more focused. A simple ten or fifteen minute breathing meditation as explained below can help you to overcome your stress and find some inner peace and balance.

Meditation can also help us to understand our own mind. We can learn how to transform our mind from negative to positive, from disturbed to peaceful, from unhappy to happy. Overcoming negative minds and cultivating constructive thoughts is the purpose of the transforming meditations found in the Buddhist tradition. This is a profound spiritual practice you can enjoy throughout the day, not just while seated in meditation.

On this website you can learn the basics of Buddhist meditation. A few books are mentioned that will help you to deepen your understanding if you wish to explore further. Anyone can benefit from the meditations given here, Buddhist or not. We hope that you find this website useful and that you learn to enjoy the inner peace that comes from meditation.''

daylight dims

cutting the dreads off...

Last week, we cut my babies dreads off....dun dun duuuunnnn.

hes had them for 7 years,
(isn't he pretty? :) )

and they were pretty awesome.

we documented the cutting off his hair and after 7 years, (its quite a monumental moment (in our lives) i think deserves recognition..

are we sitting comfortably?
then we shall begin...

7 o'clock, looking slightly nervous....

we decided to do the underneath first,
so that he didnt go into shock ;)

one last dread mustache..
oh huh huuuh..would
you like some
cheese and
wiiiine?

the first one off...
can't really see it?
but its there...



one underside done...scratty!

quite unimpressed..

this reminds me of the little girl from
waterworld? when shes been
naughty and gets her hair cut off...hehehe

''a 7lb-er!''
a little disgruntled..

then, we spend a good 3 hours,
teasing them out with sweet words,
gentle fingers, a whole lotta
conditioner and a comb.


just thought id put this in because
its cuuuute..
they were like this when
we came back down from
conditioning.

pretty suave ;)

Edward Cullen, eat your heart out...

He donned a hat until
hed had it cut properly...

which looks like this...




so yes :) that was our de-dreading experience...

kiss and make up

You're a girl, yes?
You like girly things, yes?
You like make up..yes?
awesome!

im not a very make up-ey kind of girl, i have mascara and liquid liner and thats about it.. not because i didnt want to wear it, but because i DIDNT UNDERSTAND. i went up to a benefit make up counter last year, and asked
''whats the difference between a liquid foundation and a powder?''
''....ones a liquid and ones a powder...?''
''obviously..but..whats the DIFFERENCE, why are there two?''
''because some people like powder and some dont?''

this is a company whos cheapest item costs around £15...i want the make up artists to know what theyre talking about! iv sinse found out that foundation is what makes your skin even and powder sets the foundation and keeps it in place. right. good.

you should allllll read this make up blog.. a well written, descriptive blog about everything to do with make up, perfume, etc and soon to come info on brushes, why we use foundation AND powder, how not to blend eye shadows etc, from a very knowledgeable girly.
tash isnt a make up artist, she hasnt been taught how to do things, shes learned through experience, which i think is better....she knows her stuff through memories of what works, not what shes been taught. check her out :)

love xxxx

wassap

she looks slightly crazy here

weightlessnessnessness

I want to go and float in some water...
the weightlessness and to feel it lap against my skin.
I also have realised,
even though i don't want to travel...
i want to be in a hot country and stand under a waterfall..
a lot.
