Oh wow! Just realised how long it has been since my last post!.....just where is the time going??? So let's recap the past few weeks.:
Amanda Knox was let out of prison. I myself think she is guilty of something and the fact that she named someone totally innocent for the crime will always erk me!
Micheal Jackson's Doctor has been found guilty. Well, I think the doctor was more influenced by greed than his Hippocratic oath. We all long for a personal client. There is a form of security in knowing that you only have to think about one person and that you will be paid handsomely for some period of time. But when you start loosing yourself and don't even bother to question something that is morally or ethically wrong, it's time to find a new client!
Gavin Henson took part in the Batchelor and I am sad to say, I got sucked into this particular reality show. Millions of us waited with baited breath for a love story to unfold and for Gavin Henson and Leyla to walk off into the sunset.......but hold on, just a minute! He did not go for the nice girl next door, with the nice welcoming family, instead he went for porn star Barbie, who within days of "getting her man" was getting her baps out to prove what a "winner" she is. It is a shame that although coming on the show claiming to be looking for love, he instead went for the pulling of his loins, which, quite frankly, being Gavin Henson, he could get a girl like that every day of the week and twice on Sundays! Nice girls are like gold dust and yet he let it slip away so easily. Now we will all have to be content with Carriane and most likely her mother too (who is quite proud of her daughter flaunting her assets at the drop of a fiver), selling every sordid tittle tattle they can.....well, he brought it on himself!
As for work, met some great people and some not so great. Met a nightmare of a stylist, who like me was booked as a freelancer for a magazine. We were all given a brief of what the client wanted, but this particular stylist wanted to change everything to suit herself. Kept reiterating her credentials as if that was to sway the whole team.Well it's a name we won't forget alright, but for all the wrong reasons. Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, also known as Mrs Clegg who is such a warm,down to earth Spanish 'lady' , who exudes charm and grace, I also got to taste Nigella's Cappuccino Maringue (receipe soon to be published) that tasted sooo good and light, that it hardly touched the sides, even after 4 slices, if I'd had space in my Zuca bag, I would have taken the whole lot home!
Speaking of Zuca's I have recently purchased the Zuca pro backpack. Yes, I could have waited till IMATs next year, but patience not being my strong suit, I decided to order from the US via Ebay. At a saving of £20 I thought I was quids in. That was until it arrived in the country and I was told I had to pay an additional £30 import VAT (not such a bargain as I'd hoped).
So, what do I think of the backpack?. Whilst, like the Zuca case, there are lots of compartments and I was able to fit almost everything in it. I unfortunately travel with large cans of hairspray L'oreal Elnett satin and Infinium to be precise and until I finish those and can purchase the smaller cans, it is quite a tight squeeze. As for the wearing of the backpack, it is quite wide when you have it on your back and I sort of feel like Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, but when attached to the Zuca case it stays in place and saves my back and the dreaded widows stoop. Not sure if its worth £140 though but hey ho, at least I have the matching set!
