Quick update on last night's blog. I stayed in. Nothing to report. Today kicked off with yet another demo, this time on avant-garde designs (basically, weird lines and stuff). I was first up and working with Marlene again. I used the sketch I did last night, and Christina seemed happy with the outcome. Again, I think it might be because I'm the only guy in the class, and I'm English as well. Marlene had her turn after lunch, and did a great job. There's not a l...

Woke up bright and early today, mainly to shower off the make-up from last night as I couldn't be bothered after the cinema, but also to do my sketch for today's lesson. I managed to find something to copy off Google (what a saviour it's been) and had in done with time to spare, so I did some tidying up of the horrendous state my box-room has become. Mireille's away for a couple of days, so we had a subsitute tutor today, who'll be coming back for tomorrow too. ...

Start of a new week, means start of a new subject. This week, it's high fashion photographic make-up; the kind of thing you'd see on models faces on runways, in editorial and general fashion magazines.

We'll also need to do two make-up applications plus styling in 2 hours on a model provided by the school (as I don't...

You know that horrendous feeling of loss you get the day after drinking? Well, I had that today. I spotted a Subway bag on the floor suggesting I'd managed to buy myself some for late last night. I must've been home by 2am, as that's when Subway closes (I think I must've actually been back much earlier than that, as I remember a couple of the other tenants still being up when I got in, and usually everyone's in bed reasonably early. Then I realised I'd lost my...

Woke up early today and managed to avoid any football results so it didn't spoil my taped-delay viewing of the Wolves vs Spurs game being aired at the Cat & Fiddle Pub. I arrived just after the kick off, and there were a load of people in there already, mostly in Spurs shirts, and all connected together by the 'LASpurs'. Bit of a dull gem, but at least we got a win. Started chatting to a few of the locals, all Spurs fans. Rolfe and Graham, two English guys ...
