Harriet's journals

I got my tongue pierced yesterday, which didn't really hurt that much but I haven't been able to eat since because my tongue is all fat and sore :( I am so hungry! I am cooking some mashed potato at the moment, so hopefully that will be ok, all I can think about is chewing and crunching and crumbling - mushy food sucks! I want crisps, and biscuits and big fat meat!

Also, here is a photo of me and Lita at the UK GodsGirls party on Saturday, which was loads of fun. I got to meet Adreena, Skin, Elodie, Taylor, Angel and Sonia - I was a bit fucked though because I was nervous about having to dance onstage, so next time I hope I will seem a bit more friendly...

We are wearing some lovely latex by Atsuko Kudo and Anatomic Bomb! here, respectively. Apparently the next one will be beach party themed, so latex bikinis for us :)

I have just discovered that I am meant to present my designs for the next project next week, I hadn't even looked at the brief until now, eep! I am meant to be on holiday, you bastards!

That is all. xxxx

This is from last week...or the week before...

 

It turns out rolling around in foodstuffs makes me really happy :)

In other news...I don't think I have any other news. I went to see the Tutankhamun exhibition at the O2 thing yesterday (in London), which was quite a diverting afternoon, it seemed a bit dumbed down though, I wanted more information than was on offer! There were also really annoying children there - serves me right for straying out of my little corner of North London I suppose.

Going to the UK GodsGirls party on Saturday too, and promo shoot, so that is all fun xxx

Here you go. This is a photo of me from a while ago, by my beloved Doug Faircloth, who I have worked with eight times since I was 18. We took this one in his hotel the day before he flew back to Australia :(

I am addicted to the song 'Oh Me, Oh My' by Imogen Heap.

I am at Lita's house, but I have to go home today. In an hour in fact. I have to get the train back to London and then go to straight to work at the bar, so that means heaving the massive suitacase around London late at night grr.

I didn't actually need a massive suitcase either, due to not actually shooting half the sets we were meant to - this might have something to do with a little substance called ket, which I did not partake in because I have no inclination to make the train journey and then work with a comedown. The sets we did were funny though, we are just laughing our arses off in most of them. They are very messy, and Lita currently has no hot running water, so I had to boil the kettle and give myself a sponge bath afterwards!

Not much else has been happening of any interest really. I am on holiday from university so I have lots of spare time in theory - but in actuality I am just filling in spare shifts at work because someone got fired. I also have to find a shoemaking apprenticeship for next year, but I tried one place and got disheartened hehe.

So that's that for the fabulous life of me. Nothing to write home about!

I am on holiday from uni, so me and Lita have devised a rather delicious plan - I am going back up to Sheffield on Wednesday til Friday so we can shoot DIY sets :)

We have a few planned and the others we will just get pissed and see what happens - but the mix of cider, our collective wardrobes and her new digital SLR can never go wrong.

I am going to keep quiet about our themes - suffice to say, we like to get messy :)

Also, who is going to the UK GG party on the 5th April? I am! I am scared though, as I am not much of an exhibitionist, but a few G&Ts should help that along heheh.

Well, since I have no more nudey rudey pictures to show you, I will show you what I have been up to of late. These are the prototypes I made for the last two projects. We don't get to make as many shoes as I would like, but from July I have a placement year before completing the course so I am going to do a making apprenticeship hopefully, fun fun :)

This is the prototype for a project for Tatty Devine (theoretically, it wasn't real, just for fun) She is called Artemis.



This one I just finished today and am feeling pleased with myself because I didn't know if I would have time to complete it. This is the prototype for a live project for Kappa. I'm not sure it will be their cup of tea really, but they confirmed really late in the day and I had already started designing.



Also in the background you can see bits of my messy bed and bedroom.

So there we have it, I am going to bed now, as I have to go and present the boot to Kappa tomorrow. Ta ra xxx

I have realised the truth...my deadline is in a week, and I have a whole term's worth of work to do...whoops. Even in this knowledge I find myself lying around naked all day watching DVDs and eating crap. Oh well, another wasted day.

That was my last set I did with Chris Ayres, it is sad that I have no more surprises left now :( hopefully will get more soon.

I don't actually have anything to say, I am just bored and not sleepy yet. I am preparing for a week with no sleep though, so I should probably get some now!

I seem to be suffering from the opposite of insommnia, I am finding it physically impossible to wake up in the morning, so I am getting stupid amounts of sleep and still not getting anything done. Every Tuesday morning for the past 3 or 4 weeks I wake up with a banging headache, I wonder if someone I see on Mondays is poisoning me...

Anyway that is all I have to say as I have to go and do things,
