My very first award!

I have been given my very first award, courtesy of Melanie of Bag and a Beret. It is a great honour as Melanie’s blog is one of my favourites: her wit and art are a lot of fun, not to mention the fun outfits.

So, now I must complete a quiz Melanie put together, so you can all get to know me better!

I’d be the tailor and make everyone wear my ill produced clothes (I only have a rough idea on clothes making, but would like to learn a bit more)

Cuddling with your partner and petting the cats.

Maybe Children of Men. It depicts a not so far dystopian future, that seems awfully possible. The baby scene always makes me cry!

The little men orchids, aren’t they sweet?

Yes and it’s quite disturbing.

Where the mossy side of the tree trunks are facing. I don’t know why I know this as I have no sense of orientation whatsoever.

I also need to write 11 Facts about myself:

1 – I used to work as a colourist before my current job, doing storyboards for advertising and comics with another artist.
2 – when I was a kid I wanted to be a fashion designer. I seem to have forgotten about that for a few years and have later rediscovered an interest for clothes and fashion as means of expression.
3 – One of my dream jobs would be personal shopper – I could go shopping with other people’s money and that would be brill!
4 – I have been blogging on and off since 2003 or so. Good old Livejournal!
5 – I did a runway show when I was 6 years old for the brand Kispo.
6 –  I have an unhealthy obsession for shoes but you may have noticed that by now.
7 – I have 16 tattoos in total (re-did one and added another one last weekend)
8 – I have only just learned how to ride a bicycle.
9 – One of my earliest memories is of drawing all over my tummy and then my grandparents bathing me to wash the felt tip ink away
10 – I have sported a mohican style hairdo a few years back.
11 – I don’t watch tv, so don’t ask me if I’ve seen this or that advert.

I sure want to see the answers to these questions!!

I will be away this weekend (again! Yay! this time to Brighton) but will be back with more photos of adventures and outfits next week. In the meantime, don’t forget to have fun!
