Reading Festival 2007…and ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Yep thats right, today is my birthday!  And I’m not excited in the slightest.   Well maybe slightly.

Today I am 20 years of age.  I can’t not be a teenager any more?!  Thats a crazy idea.

Anyway, what’s quite annoying is that I’m ill.  I have festival flu.  I returned from Reading Festival yesterday, and had the usual singed nose and throat from breathing in campfire smoke for 5 nights.  Got up this morning expecting to feel better but feel worse, it has developed into a proper cold.  Which is really annoying.

But hey, Reading was amazing.  We Are Scientists blew me away.  The Used and Billy Talent were brilliant despite the fact it was so hot I thought I was going to faint.  Arcade Fire were mesmerising and Lostprophets were very impressive even though I’m not a lover of their music.  Many other bands were brilliant but those are the ones that pop into my head this moment.

We Silent Discoed again.  Which was great fun, and spent a large portion of the weekend sporting Silent Disco T-shirts that my friend made (so many people came up and asked where we bought them from).  I did proper festival attire, wore the same hotpants for 5 days straight, spilt food, beer and everything else down my clothes, wore ballet pumps that I managed to destroy with mud (even though it was pretty dry considering).  Yet managed to wear a full face of makeup every day!  You have to have some form of normality!

Anyway, who knows what form my blogging will take over the next few weeks before uni starts again.  Could be frequent, but probably wont be!

I shall leave you with a photo of my friend and I all Silent Disco T-shirted up….

The Ball Dress – Part 3

Ok, so I apologise for the delay, but here is the picture of the final ball dress.

This is the only full length picture of me in the dress, at the ball…(excuse the stupid face)…

I wore it with a black pashmina (partly in case it all went horribly wrong and it fell down), a black Fiorelli bow handbag (my mothers), yellow vintage stretch belt, and gold/silver sparkley heels from Dune.Apologies for the slightly foggy picture (i had intended to take a couple of clearer ones yesterday, but my mother arrived to pick me up 3 hours early, and now its in London and I’m, well, not.)

I know I am the worst blogger ever. I had the best intentions for getting this posted before I went on holiday. But I’m not sure where the time went. I will try so hard to do better next time!

I have a couple of things to post to make up for it…if I ever get round to it!
