not sure what your WiFi’s like Chris, but this is for you 🙂
I realised the other day that I’m not worried about money. This isn’t to say that I have enough money or that I shouldn’t be worried. My mind’s just been on other things. Also currently not overly fussed about bum size. What’s going on?
It’s all go here at ImogenMaxwell.com this month; my birthday is coming…
… my new smart phone has made me 100% more obnoxious…
… and I’ve got new digs in Glasgow. I move early August into the most friggin’ gorgeous flat I’ve seen in real life. From the swamp of responses I received to my gumtree ad, a lone flower emerged from the mire… well, crap analogy but anyway, the best response to my ad led me to three girls around my age with a spare room in the west end. Score!
they don’t know I look like this in the morning. Yet.
So that’s it. I’m moving to Glasgow, decision made. I now have the timetable for my course, I’m there 4 days a week (annoying) but have Friday-Saturday-Sunday off (excellent).
Makeup Forever aqua cream shadows, Illamasqua powder shadow and sealing gel
Anyhoo. Today’s hair metal classic is another wee diamond with a slightly WTF opening sequence, Summertime Girls by Californian poodle-permers Y & T. Within this video you’ll find a wide world of 80s wonder – men in crop tops, a bikini that looks like pubes (why why why), a “heavy metal detector” detecting one of the band members buried under the sand, an actual mermaid and painfully high-cut swimwear that only the 80s can do.
It’s this kind of fun, feel-good, dumb ole rock-n-roll that really makes summer, for me; it’s sure as shit not the drizzle, 90mph wind and 11-degree days here on the west coast of Scotland. Enjoy!
…which is why 3/4 of the storage space in my room is full of crazy crap like this.
take me seriously
Opening packages and parcels is always exciting, especially when you don’t know what’s in them. So imagine my surprise last week when not one, but two yellow wigs arrived.
The orange lipstick I’m wearing is So Chaud by MAC with a bit of their eyeshadow in Honeylust in the centre of my bottom lip. Did you guys know they still do the package recycling incentive, so if you return 6 MAC makeup empties of any kind to them, they’ll give you a free lippy (but not from the Viva Glam range, as that’s sold to raise cash for the MAC AIDS fund).
Anyway. Gotta go rack my brains to see if I can remember why I would have thought I needed two yellow wigs. I really do have fantastic ideas when I’m pissed, why don’t I write them down? Oh yeah, because “amazing shelf bum” written on a gin-soaked receipt still leaves me completely in the dark.
That Will Smith song has been in my head for days, and now we must all suffer. Let’s get it out the way at the beginning of the post so we can put it behind us, move on and never speak of it again. So Thursday was a big day – a visit from […]
I strongly dislike airbrushing. It’s frustrating. The guns we use at college aren’t the best, and it’s impossible to clean them properly. That, and our class is 20-odd chicas, so we all have to share. Everything. All the time. There’s one of each thing we need, and 20 people wanting to use it at the […]
Which is why I find myself covered in aspirin and honey, and a head full o’ bleach on a Sunday night. I went to visit Melissa and Che in Edinburgh last night, cos I’m spontaneous like that. We watched Pretty Woman, Che and I got drunk and Melissa didn’t because she’s pregnant, and I made […]
Only my second week at makeup school and I’ve shaved my eyebrows off. Remember kids, if you DO shave your eyebrows off, you’ll need to learn how to quick-draw your emotions. This week, I have also been learning AIRBRUSHING! In the chair is my college, carpool, Facebook, and real life friend Sinead. We spray-painted each […]
If you’re an avid Imogen Maxwell fan, you’ll have noticed an unusual amount of activity on my Instagram recently. That’s because I am unemployed and have no friends. But considering I am unemployed and have no friends, I’ve been keeping quite busy. Let me tell you about my first week at college. The journey there […]
