Disappointment that was my birthday last year.

So last year I was so excited that the vintage expo fell on my birthday weekend.  As a treat yo myself I went solo. I didn't put a lot of effort into my appearance, but then again I never do im quite simple and don't like loads of make up. Also im more a 60's/70's girl. Well from the moment I got there, standing in line, till the moment I left only 20 minutes later.  I received judging glances from all the 'true to vintage" ladies who look like they had spent 2+ hours to get ready. It was uncomfortable, truely. Even looking around all the stalls, I was never stopped and asked if I needed any help. They were too busy stopping all the 'uber 50's dolls" and having convos about how amazing they looked.

Today I received an email informing me "hey the vintage expo is on again yay!" Not yay. Terrible experience due to scene elitists means sorry but you wont be getting my business this year.

I want some kick ass hair.

Just a little bit of hair insperation for a Wednesday morning. Need a trim and a style plus more headbands and wraps in my life.

Make Up Haul

Writing this will sound like a massive spam message "yo, check out all this stuff i go through such and such site for $75!!" but yes, as advertised in a certain magazine, i went over a certain website i put in a special little code when i spent over $75 and BAM, loads of free shit.

So i bought the foundation and concealer and i think the nail polish and lashes, then got a bag full of lipsticks, gloss and mascara and even an electric eyelash curler. free stuff, i love free stuff. On the look out for more 'free deals online' if anyone would like to point me in the right directions would be cool.

Adding to my collection of 60's Genie Bottles

In the past ive complained about the price of genie bottles due to everyone being in love with retro at the moment. That's still the case but i had a little luck with some ebay auctions and picked up two decanters this weekend.

 The lady that sold me the amber decanter said she does have the stopper somewhere in boxes under her house and if she finds it will post it to me which would be amazing cause i only paid $21 for it and with a stopper would be worth at least $60 (or $120+ depending if you're an 'antique enthusiast' who likes to jack up the price cause it's 'retro')

KEKEKE 2014 Kicking Off in April

whoo hoo! finally remembered my pass words. Any who, just a quick jump on and share some pree hair cut/ old photos for the funsies while i work on getting back to blogging. hopefully, and not just be something i say and never do.

but im honestly over the whole photoshoot/model thing, im just done. was given some item by a UK designer and it's taken so long to organise anything that i just have to send them back, my hearts not in it. i'd rather take shitty photos of myself then be presured to be a 5'8" size 6.

my Betsey Johnson dress i got on ebay for $40 and my ballet pointe shoes, dont forget im not a pro ballet dancer so yes, ties arent tucked in and im not quite 'on pointe' but im having fun so stuff you  haha

Currently have no internet in my new place. But unpacking and making everything look lovely. Planning new lookbook photo and reading up on how to use my camera better. My new phone doesn't seem to let me upload images. But that's okay. Ive got an instagram if anyone is interested; AlphieLaFray

How to deal with sh*thead 'professionals' in the photography biz

America's Next Top Model Season 4 Episode 4

Watch from 10:35, it's an excellent lesson because you WILL come across people at a photo shoot who acts like this. But one thing to remember is take the rudeness and negativity as a positive.

My situation like this, not as extreme but still frustrating. From word go he was incredibly frustrated with my 'lack of ability' and didn't even try hide it; "no i need you to feel lost, lost, like blank but feelings... no it's not working, just not working i don't think i can do anything with this" honestly after an hour of this i just wanted to cry.

Whatever your situation is you cant take it to heart, and sometimes they're just negative for a completely different reason and are taking it out on you. Also, not everyone is going to like you, to some you could be a muse and to others your a huge chore. Don't take it to heart
