EE-JIPT.

Hello my homies :]
I just got back from the inspirational and sweltering land of Egypt. I admit, I took over 600 photos but I've tried to narrow it down to just nine.
Obviously, most of the photos I took were pretty touristy and didn't have a great deal of artistic merit...and I was using my slightly aged digital camera.... these are the ones that ashame me least!
And how about a lovely little commentary accompanying each one?

Ok, here we have, um... my leg :) I loved the perspective that these pillars created, so I stuck the leg in there to break it up a bit.


These are som fishermen on the nile. Oh how picturesque.

These are ancient egyptian perfume recipies in a temple. There was an entire room covered floor-to-ceiling with these carvings. Jo Malone meets the Shining in Pharonic times??? :o

This is a cow, if you haven't already guessed :p it was grazing on one of those random paches of grass that sits on the nile, kinda like a skin sits on soup.

This is an obelisk which I think was built by queen Hetshepsut, probably the most kickass pharoh ever.

Egyptian perfume bottles (I doubt they were made from the earlier recipies if that's what you're thinking :])

Not only is this a fucking awesome and photogenic camel, it's called mickey :o

The Great Pyramid af Giza which I hiked up inside depite a lack of stairs and air conditioning. It was pretty breathtaking and spooky, though :)

and here is possibly my favourite picture from the entire trip....

:)
more postys soon :)

Right, I'm off to see Sphinxes and stuff.

Well, you may have taken from the title that I'm jetting off to Egypt in a few hours :)
I will be gone for nine days so I won't be able to get back to any comments untill then. I'll try my best to answer them all when I get back :) (at least I think so....who knows, there could be a really cool internet cafe just left of The Great Pyramid of Giza...)
I'm not taking Josephi- ummmm, my big camera. I am taking the little digital one, though so there may or may not be some pictures when I get back :)

Anyway, how bouts I leave you with a nice DIY?
It's a smiley face tee shirt!!!!

and here's how I wear it:


jeans: cheap monday, shoes: Doc Martens, under-vest: Gap

you're never fully dressed without a smile :] (yeah, I did Annie in year six. I was the laundry man... Word.)

speak in nine days :)

Hey thar doll face :)


I finally have something to blog about :) haven't been doing anything creative lately. Sorry bout that.
All of Abbie's photos seem seriously huggable. I ENVY HER FACE :]


Here's my little dolly makeup type of thing that I've been wanting to for a while... but I was worried it would look a bit slightly-pretentious-hooker-who-had-a-splurge-at-MAC-and-then-got-caught-in-a-bow-thunderstorm-and-needs-to-comfort-herself-with-a-very-out-of-proportion-and-cliched-piece-of-candy. I was right. Especially about the pretentious bit ;)



this could explain the randomness. Yeah, a whole pack of sour cherries....and a shitload more actually :3

abbie had some too :p

We're geeks so it's ok to be geeky :)

I had a nice little treat the other day, bumping into Dot from Street Style London with a bunch of my friends. And even better, my camera decided it was in a good mood (I think it was a little star-struck actually) and allowed me one reasonable snapshot :) Of course the geek chic glasses had to come out for this photo. Best £8 I ever spent :)
Oh, and check out Nicky's poseyness and one Union Jack Doc Marten reflected in the window. I really do rock at choosing backdrops, eh?
I am very very jelous of her camera...and the fact that she doesn't look like a 14-year-old newb taking pictures with it on the street (yet can still pull off neon pink socks)
You can just tell the photocreeper to the right wants to be in our crew. There there, photocreeper dude, you shall find a crew of your own someday :) photo by Alice :]
cute as it is already, Nicky, I do enjoy editing your face :)

My two-year-old cousin Ava makes an adorable geek. Hmmmmm, does photographic obsessiveness run in the family? That little camera actually works, by the way :)


Oh, and thanks for all the nice comments on my last post :] And yeah, I know it's been about a week >_>

Outfits and Lookbook and of course DUCKIE.

I went for a bit of a different look than usual. Cuter I suppose :p I decided to be a little original and put a petticoat under this stripey skirt which everyone fashionista-y seems to be wearing at the moment :) *cough* got it pre-release at the AA sample sale *cough cough*
Also I wanted to try out my kickass new cowboy boots :) guess how much? £2. That's what I'm talking about ;)
vest- J-crew; Woodland Creatures Cardigan- KLING (really really cool Eurobrand, check it out.); Skirt- American Apparel; Petticoat- Evening Dress Supply Store; Socks- Topshop, Boots- Portobello Market; Gun Necklace and Bow- Kings Road
OK, sooo I'm thinking of getting lookbook, I've been stalking it just a little and it seems like a pretty cool place :) but I don't quite get the whole inviting thing. So, someone has to invite me..? how? :/
