got a lock, got a key

got some kind of vice-like grip on me

nicola of golden indigo tagged me (i'm sure i've been tagged by others, i just can't remember, apologies, i've had a weird few days), so i'm going to continue this chain as i like the questions.

Why did you start blogging?

if you know how many blogs i follow, then i think you'd get the idea that i need to give back somewhat.

Do you prefer Spring/Summer or Autumn/Winter?

i would quite happily live exclusively in jumpers for the rest of my life

What do you notice first: Smokey eye makeup, or bright lips?

Who are your style icons?

chung, poésy, bardot, birkin, dellal, lowe, tennessee thomas...

and, in terms of bloggers, carrie, caroline, alix, rumi, rhiannon, emma, et al.

Describe your personality in three words.

i've gone off the number three, will two do?

i can't remember why i wrote this. it's quite cliché.

christ, the eighth feels like a year ago, not six days.

If you had to leave the house with only one item of makeup, what would it be?

i'm not going to tag people.

still suffering from what has been dubbed "festival flu", so i reckon that marks it as a pretty good event. i'd recommend it to anyone who fancies a weekend of good music for £50.

see you there next year?

and here's a video of beardyman, he's insanely talented

(and i was awake during his entire set, shut up)

all that glitters

it'd be nice if it wasn't always me who had to make the effort.

always.

thanks to everyone who wished me a good time at brownstock. despite getting far too little sleep, drinking too much (even if not playing wizard myself), and my phone dying, it was okay.

i didn't get food poisoning, anyway.

shame every photo i've seen of myself so far makes me want to throw up

i put five disposable cameras into boots' vaults yesterday, so we'll see what treats there are in store soon.
