My first Halloween! Check out the costumes, we went as gothic school children and by the expressions on our faces really got into character! It was a fun night, Alina has an amazing house in Wandsworth and there was a lot of atmosphere with the rooms and courtyard decked out with Halloween decorations.

My new pad


Hey peoples

As I know doubt would have mentioned I have a new room in the heart of Chelsea and I just had to take a few snaps because I finally feel quite settled and wanted to share. On the weekend I hit one of the best stores known to man - Argos. Now this shop is such an interesting set up. You walk in to this small warehouse type store where there are heaps of big catalogues and little computers. You flick through the catalogue, choose the products you would like to purchase, write down the ID Number, and then take it to a cashier. They print you a slip then you wait in line to collect your goods. Ingenious! I am not much of a shopper and find this to be a much easier way of buying things. Okay so you only get to see the product in pictures but that’s the beauty of it. Because Argos is saving money by not having all this stock on the shop floor and manpower, the products are cheap as chips and good quality! I bought a magazine rack, TV stand and night stand and I am in love with them. Cheap thrills for me these days!



Tonight it’s off to Orson, are they big there yet? I loooove them, I listened to the cd on the way to work. I will try to take some snaps and post them up. Sugarbabes were in work yesterday…probably the plainest celebrities I’ve seen yet. Good lighting and make up can do wonders for these people. I missed Ashley Simpson who came in, by all reports a very skinny girl and very attractive. The new nose must be working for her….

Mark and his band Transkei are performing on Saturday for the first time since they re-formed. I am so excited and proud, I haven’t heard him play for months now and there are going to be heaps of people there. I’ve bought a cute little ‘Rock Chic’ singlet and am going to wear some skinny jeans so I am the ultimate rock girlfriend (minus the cool attitude and trendy walk.)

Bouffant Hair


Hi girls and boys

I'm back from Wales, had a beautiful weekend with my man, visiting my relies. My gran had a lovely time and it was a good chance to treat her to a movie as she doesn't get to the cinema much (saw The Devil Wears Prada, cracking film). We had loads of nice walks, yummy traditional English food and a few pints down the local. The BNB was to die for, it had only been open a couple of months so everything was brand new and untouched.

The Chart Show recording was so interesting! We rocked up in all our best outfits and were told they were going to play two songs over the loud speaker and that we had to cheer and make loads of noise. This was to give them something to use later on when they are putting the show together, which will be broadcast this Saturday. Then Girls Aloud came on first and did their little routine. My god they are so plastic fantastic, with big bouffant hair and far too much make up. Mark said none of them were particularly attractive (but he was probably just being sweet...) They were a little too manufactured though. The two rap stars where quite good but not really my thing and my Chemical Romance went off. It was good to see what really happens as a live audience for a program like that. I have entered for tickets to X Factor which I would also love to get.

Got a couple of photos from nights out with my buddies...not many, I am hopeless at remembering to take any.



Cheers big ears

Just another Friday at C4

Well I just met the band All Saints! I love my job sometimes...

They strolled in after having a quick cigarette outside. They are all about 5ft3 with long hair and stacks of make up, wearing completely casual un-trendy clothes. Liam Gallagher's wife has quite an old face but lovely skin and she is of course quite skinny. None of them looked unnaturally skinny and they all went down to the Channel's cafe and tucked into jacket potatoes with baked beans - polishing off the lot! See celebrities do eat! Can't help but think I may be eating baked potatoes from now on... Melanie Blatt was by far the prettiest. It was so cool seeing a band that, when I was 15ish, I loved. Everyone knows that song....never ever have I ever felt so low....

Last week I spoke to the guy in the band Magic Numbers (not sure if they've made it big over there). Not in the slightest bit a looker but a really gentle lovely man.

AND Monday I have won tickets to attend the live recording of The Album Chart Show! I am sooo excited, I'm gonna take 5 friends and we are gonna see bands including Girls Aloud (yes...I know, they suck but I wanna see what they look like) My Chemical Romance and a couple of rappers I haven't heard of (The Game and Lupe Fiasco anyone...?) There is an open bar and dress code is 'trendy and very sexy' so I've got my thinking cap on as to what to wear... any suggestions Lousi?

Soon I am off to see my favourite band of the moment live: Orson! Wooohooooooooo I cannot wait!
