weeeee :)

just a quick one to show you the finished bit after its been dyed and washed and dried and finished off :) yay. i love it.

things you will need to undercut..

• a decent pair of clippers (or a razor with some foam if your REALLY brave)
• a steady hand
• hair bobbles
• a comb/brush (id recommend a comb)

if you don't know how to use clippers, which i didnt..well..
there should be a lever on the side? when its switched up it will cut really close to the skin, down..further away. when you turn the clippers on first, make sure the lever is pointed down. if your using clippers with the add on bit, make sure its the right length comb. i recommend a no.2 comb. for a nice length cut for the first time..you can make it shorter, not longer!

select the bit of hair you want to shave and pin the rest back, i suggest cutting less and adding more as you go on..again, its easier to cut more after than try and grow it so u can start again.
cut your hair off to about an inch or so, this will be easier to shave off.
this is a good video for showing you what to do next...how to get right upto the edge.

et voila. ill post my hair in different styles over the weekend/after, for any of you with long hair, who dont want to look weird or anything. :)

<3 much love xxxxxxxxxxxx

Undercuts

For a while now, iv been into undercuts..they oooozz sex appeal to me. I wanted to get one ages ago, but iv been scared to. about 2 years ago, i went from having waist length hair,
to having hair cut upto my cheek bones...


Ewwwww. never cutting my hair of EVER AGAIN.
its only just gotten back to a decent length (just covers my nips)
so yeah..it left me with a...i don't know..a link in my head to having my hair cut, bringing me out in something that resembled a cold sweat.
SO, having an undercut...i thought it looked hot, but could i go through cutting that much hair off?? err...no! but i did need to regain 'me'. i did fashion for those two years...and i kind of lost myself. i found myself in the sense of, i know who i am and what i want now..and my personality is more rounded and confident, but being who i really really am, infront of everyone all the time, like i used to be able to. i guess to feel cool? in myself..not for others.

so, i looked for pictures of undercuts on girls with long hair...and they EXIST!!! on supermodels. (and very alternative people) <_<. hmph. i am about 3ft shorter than a supermodel and curvy. hmmm. so, i finally found some good images...



































In the end...theres no amount of looking at pictures or gelling/gripping my hair into place thats going to show me what it would be like..so i did it. i just borrowed some clippers and shaved it..a little just above my ears, curving round behind like a crescent moon..i think i need to take a little more off but i also need to dye my hair..so im going to do that tonight and then take some pics. just thought id post this for anyone looking for decent undercut info..as i couldn't find any. ill add (what to do exactly, how to use clippers if you never have etc) to this when iv had more thoughts on it...and some better pics later. :)

alice in wonderland again...

I just was perusing, finding corset blogs finding out how to do a certain alteration, and someone posted a link to the alice in wonderland movie :) so i was like, lets IMDB this stuff! so i did...and oh em gee, im not even more excited!!! ALL my favorite people are doing the voices, alan rickman is the catarpillar, stephen fry is the cheshire cat, (then the tim burton faithfuls, his wife, helena bonham carter and johnny depp), matt lucas playing Tweedledee. oh my, i am excited!! bring on march the 5th!!!

i know i posted it before, but here it is again

xxxx

a few things

currently im reading Coraline..and i HIGHLY recommend it..srsly!! its such an amazing book. its a children book, which i didn't expect, set in England, which i didn't expect, and its written MARVELOUSLY. because its for children there are a lot of adjectives, but they're fun and make your brain IMAGINE what Mr.B looks like. im so used to reading kids books (to a child a might add, not for myself) and it being simplified, or having no real storyline because kids 'wont get it' (im sorry..what?? how i did I cope, and my parents and grandparents and so on..i read secret garden when i was 8) anyway..so, yes. i highly recommend it. click this link and go to ''coraline the book'' and look at the chapter excerpt to see what i mean.

AND, i really really wanna see princess and the frog. really really really. and so does my man :) thankfully. haha.

right, im off to finish corsets and birthday presents and drink tea and walk the dawg. funfunfun. nice day.

love :D xxxxxxx

jonah day

today is the kind of day id like to keep curled under cream sheets with feather squishyness and let the day go on. i might aswel have done that...i feel anxious, like im waiting for bad news...there is non, im being stupid. i feel sick. weve run out of milk, so no tea or hot choco to calm my head. my fringe is tooo long to see, but too short to tuck. annoyance. its so cold today i feel like my skin is shrinking into me..cold cold.too cold.

im waiting paitiently for venacavadesigns to send me my boning tips to finish a corset for kitten von mew. its going to be lovely..i hope.

my chest is paaniiiiicccccked! urg.

im going to make the hot creamy goodness with water, which will infact stop it being creamy. never mind.

I CANT WAIT TO LIVE IN TOWN.

LOVE

falling into that
beautiful thing
called love
(ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming,
can't-live'without-each-other love.)

attraction, flirtation, euphoria, doubt, THE TRUTH
(also known as the big whooperdoodle, or, the most
important part of this whole sloppy, thilling, infuriating,
marvelous experience.)

so this is love. as wonderous and scary and fabulous as it
can be. it may have starter with more attraction, but where
its eneded up is somewhere deeper and truer and endlessly
more fullfiling.
and despite yourself, you will have learned a little something
along the way. that euphoria that doesnt have to be fleeting.
that love can survive doubt. that a joyful instinct should
never be repressed.
And so you throw yourself into love. Heartfirst.

never stop falling in love. hearts.

taken from a galaxy wrapper iv had for YEARS. ill keep it for years more..

love...stolen

''Love

If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (The Message)

I want to love like this.''

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

movin' on...

Sooooooo, for actual thoughts going on inside my actual head this blog has been a bit low. But now i am back for real :) kind of.

Im moving house :O
I currently live in the house iv lived in sinse i waaassss 10? (im 21 in march) and i love it :D really really do, lots of lovely memories and lovely energies buzzing about in here :). but mum cant afford it anymore, to damned expensive (its rented) so shes moving in with her bf and im moving in with mine :) this is it :D >
Its in the town near us, Leamington Spa, its so soooo cute! We move in on april 3rd :D
When we were looking for somewhere i was in almost physical pain from the grief of losing the house were in at the minute...But its just not practical living here anymore, i neeeeed a job so badly and living here makes it nearly impossible to get anywhere without help or lots of moneys. Where were we?? Oh..i was in pain, lots and lots of pain. until..DUN DUN DUUUUUNNNN, we viewed this house.. We got there earlier than the estate agent lady, and went for a quick walk up the street, where theres a grassy comyn, from which u can see the ENTIRE of Leamington, CRAZY pretty :)..Slowly the stabbing pain of grief caused by losing my childhood (kinda) home was dampened. When the lady arrived we went through the front door (obviously) into a hallway with the original ceramic tiles(!!!!!!) and the pain was halfway numbed! After seeing the entire house i knew i was going to miss my house place like crazy but that moving into the new place with its pretty garden and awesome bathroom was enough to clear the pain entirely. Im also aware i'm going to have to enjoy the bits i love about the house EXTRA hard over the next 2 months. The morning after, i went outside and it was SUNNY so i took pictures whilst walking mums dogs...
this is the view up my drive from the house :)
walk up the track to the 'walled garden'
lonely bench in the garden

shadows taller than our souls in the low down winter sunfrom the walled garden you can see the trees and behind them a church

SUNSHIIIINNEE
the walled garden :) pretty pretty
rosie dog, she ooolllddd, but cute :)
we love the lense flare :D

Im gonna take a million more pictures before we leave, make a log of all the houses were in, and he progression of them, changes etc :).
Probably very boring for anyone who reads this, but i guess its for me? Hmm, never mind. :D I love this house, the next tenants better love it this much!
