Who run the world?

Had a bit of Beyonce in my head this week (hence the post title) after seeing her amazing performance at the Billboard Music Awards. It takes a while to get started, but is really quite spectacular. A live performance that looks as if she is performing inside a music video. Wierd! But cool. Really simple but awesome use of rear projection, from a design point of view. Anyways, telly land has taken over my life again but the work is going very well. By this time on sunday night, this empty space, is going to look like this:

As long as all my hard work goes to plan mind you 🙂 So if you don’t hear much of me over the next week, that will be why. The above pictures are from the last series where I was Art Dept Assistant, and this year I am the Art Director… quite funny how these things work out (what’s meant for ya, wont go by ya!) Here’s a little run down of what else I have been upto…

Afternoon tea with lovely Leah.

Found a cafe in Glasgow where the owners son has been making and selling macaroons at a really reasonable price (my only option unless Laduree decides to open a Scottish branch – ha. Or until I can learn to make them as well as Milly did)

Cuddle times with Alfie before him and his brother got sent away to the vets 🙁 But good news, they are almost cleared up of the ringworm and not fighting at all anymore, so my wee piggies will be back home at some point next week.

A wee close up of my new specs. Really hope I manage to keep them nice, I had a bad habit of putting my old ones on my head, constantly forgetting they were there and having them fall off when I lean over. I fail at life!

My first Nars purchases, Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc, and the famous Orgasm blusher.

Treated myself to my favourite hairspray, and the awesome Dermalogica Clean Start Moisturiser. I’d love to try the rest of the range, I have some wee samples which I’ve been using and have noticed a difference in my skin already! Mind you, I have no skincare routine whatsoever so my skin is probably ecstatic at the fact it’s getting a bit of tlc.

Oooft, pants shot! Haha they’re clean, don’t worry! Sorry if this offends anyone, I just love the 3 for £10 pants offer in Topshop. I wish I was into ‘grown up’ lingerie, but I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. Cartoons and polka dots all the way.

But the freakin’ HIGHLIGHT of my week was getting to meet Gem. She was up in Edinburgh for her birthday, with her lovely boyfriend Dale (who kindly took us for lunch and endured hours of us gabbing non stop) We have been close for quite a while now, so it was lovely to actually get to meet her in the flesh and hang out for a few hours. I’ll admit I was slightly nervous before we met, but honestly… as soon as we did it felt like I had known her for years. Nicest feeling ever. Great chats, funny banter, sushi for lunch, and some cupcakes for the journey home. Gem is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, and a very honest and no bullshit blogger which I bloody adore.

When I started writing this blog back at uni, I never thought I would be at the stage I am now where I have made some really great friends, exchanged some wonderful parcels, and apparently have over 900 people who are interested in what I have to say. You are one crazy lot, but a bunch of legends to say the least. Thank you for sticking around and for giving me a reason to keep writing this eclectic little diary. You make big Audrey monster up there very happy! ♥
