starring me.
Oh hi flogstars. This week I was the model for two of the Belfast Babes’ wig assessments.
Here’s wee Saoirse (hi, Saoirse’s Mummy! I can totally spell your daughter’s name without looking, now. Hope you have a nice weekend!) making me in to a geek:
no mullets were harmed in the application of this wig
my view
Saoirse’s view
braces weren’t really designed with the larger-busted lady in mind, but I did my best to work it
And then it was Sinéad’s turn:
Terrified Mum’s going to see these and march over here all the way from Australia to slap the cigarette out of my paw
I’m going to sneak in a wee mid-post video for you, flogstars, cos it’s Friday and I feel like we all deserve a treat. It’s the legendary burping contest at the end of Revenge of the Nerds. Youtube won’t let me embed this one for some gimpy reason, but I highly recommend you click through and watch it. I used to have that burp as my answering machine message. Classy lassy right here.
The LOL-fest continued at home with the Mhairis (yes, 2/3 of my housemates are called Mhairi). Inspired by some Promise Tamang videos I’d made them watch last night, the brown powder eyeshadow and brown eyeliner came out and we bearded up.
Mhairi doesn’t normally wear a towel-cape and plastic bag on her head; it’s a hairdye thing
beard LOLz
you would, admit it
It was decided that I looked like somebody’s hot visiting Eurotrash cousin, or a surfer dude from Home and Away, or Gannicus from Spartacus (who is Australian actor Dustin Clare, who was on Home and Away apparently, so once again we’ve come full circle).
Yeah, I can live with that comparison
mmmm
I love you too, Gannicus
Before we go on, can I just say that I have only ever seen a fraction of one episode of Spartacus, and only because Chloe was basically making me and one of the Mhairis watch it. It’s dismal beyond description, but I really did enjoy making fun of it.
Moving on, Mhairi then compared me to the angel from Barbarella:
The angel was not very happy to be compared to beardy me, and while I am flattered that my facial hair brought to mind the overall impression of a bronzed, buff god, I’m not loving his special-ed fringe. Not at all.
Right you lot, it’s after midnight and I’m sitting in the kitchen Googling “collective noun for bronzed buff gods” – still with my beard on. This madness must come to an end.
Speaking of beards. Watch this magical video from Beardyman, a beatboxing legend (stay with me) recording and looping his own voice to build up a pretty incredible rendition of Massive Attack’s Tear Drop.
Bon weekend, baby birds.
