Work experience post #1

Anyone not interested in my wonderful university course will find this dull, but i have to write it as part of my course so here we go.

I started working for styloko on monday (wooo).
Styloko is an internet blog-style site that posts about current trends, designers, online shopping deals and styling.
I thought "yeah this sounds right up my street!" I love writing, looking up new trends, info on styling and so on.
But the reality is, i sit in front of a computer from 9-6 and look at dresses all day and then photoshop them all together into little squares and say "get this look", maybe once in a while look at a designer and write about how their style has developed for this season.
Not going to lie, i could do this sleeping.
It's also making me want to do large amounts of interner shopping.
so, two days and half an hour in, i never ever, want to work in an office.
HOWEVER:
I am loving SO MUCH living in london, walking to the tube, sitting there with my paper, oh yeah i'm just another ant in the crowd, but i can pretend i'm somewhat successful. haha.
Go figure.

Joints and Limbs



Yesterday I went to London and visited two museums,
The first was Hunterians museum, which is a college surgical museum.
and the other was Pollocks toy museum.

It seems like an odd mix (dolls and severed limbs and fetus babies suspended in formaldehyde...)
But both fit my uni project of dolls, joints, limbs and deformity.
fetus babies in jars, yep...fucked up...
But to cheer you up:
CREEPY FUCKING DOLLS!
YAAAY!
oh...
just me then...

They're watching you in your sleep...

Delight meet! A Gyaru day out~

Delight
So the day after Gackt I went to Delight's Gyaru meet up! (Amelie you suck for getting me into this stuff but i lub chu anyhow)
I forgot how awesome circle lenses are XD
I had so much fun meeting everyone and i'm glad i got to see them at Gackt too! ^^
I definatly think gyaru is gonna happen again XD I mean tbh my daily make-up is gyaru without the lashes and lenses anyways. And it can be mixed with mori which is my no.1 style anyways.
Personally i think it's ok to mix styles as long as you do it subtly.
I enjoy mori/vintage/lolita mixes and gyaru/casual also so it's all good really...
I don't think people should be confined to ~one style only~ because people are not the same all the time! and boxes are boring!Anyway, for our day we went to China Town to take purikura, then had lunch in a nice chinese (and woo i had my strawberry chopsticks with me!)
Then we went to the arcade to mess about on some games and then to st. James park!
It was a really lovely day and I will defiantly go to more meets!
^.^

GACKT and YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz

Oh my gosh

Seriously, I cannot thank Amelie and James for finding my Gackt ticket and lending me the money for it! LOVE YOU GUYZ!

So on the wednesday Amelie and I traveled to London for the friday Gackt concert in London's O2 islington academy.

Due to the no camping rules we ended up finding a hostel for the wednesday night but hung about in islington the rest of the time to make sure we still could get to the que asap!

I managed to be no.8 in the que! which was worth sleeping on the street for! lol.

Seriously, i am not kidding, seeing Gackt live has to be the best gig i have ever been to in my whole life EVER.

The setlist rocked!

Gackt ripped his shirt off and threw it RIGHT NEXT TO ME! so i now own a piece of his shirt! (which smells amazing, apparantly it's Chanel's Platinum Egoiste ugh i need some...)


Chacha looked SO HAPPY it was adorable! and You was to my left and he looked awesome too (well they all did, but i particually like chacha and you...)


Ugh but Gackt! seriously, that man is a god, nothing compairs to seeing that man live.

Everyone was so nice also! I'm so glad i met the people I did ^.^ It gives me faith in Jrock again, and after not enjoying girugamesh (which was the last band i saw before Gackt)

EEP it's just so hard to put into words what that gig ment to me.

After all, it was seven years ago i first found Gackt and Jrock!
