if you’ve been following my plurk religiously, you would know that i’m involved in a project, in the form of a blogshop.

 

since everyone’s opening a blogshop on livejournal these days, we figured we should do it too, especially since we’re a creative bunch of girls.

 

when it has officially launched, be sure to patronise it okay!

 

but anyway, this entry is about our photoshoot for our first collection.

me and thiang are the models, since we’re both petite, and i do well in filling out the low-cut dresses. *coughs*

 

we chose the botanic gardens as the location for our shoot since we all thought it’ll do well as a scenic background, plus there’s shade and toilets!

 

we were wrong.

 

when me, shy, kimo and esther reached, we were at the entrance, near the visitor centre.

 

thiang was all the way at the opposite end, near another visitor centre.

so we thought we’d meet in the middle.

 

little did we know, there are actually quite a number of visitor centres in the botanics, and yea, we ended up at two different spots again.

 

after we finally met up, by which then we were already sweating bucketloads, we had to lug along all the clothes and accessories (in a luggage bag, no less) to spots which were suitable for shooting.

 

when we found one, with a venderah!, it had no toilets in sight.

so okay lor, improvise, kimo and esther had to hold up two pieces of cloth to shield us from the prying eyes of passer-bys, while me and thiang made haste with the changing.

 

i have to admit, it was quite fun though, prancing around lamposts and trees, and secretly putting the poses off America’s Next Top Model to good use.

 

one thing i realised, my hair is very much a problem when it comes to styling.

because i know nuts about styling, i usually leave my hair down, and just hold it up with a headband.

 

the girls thought i could do better with it though, and started fiddling, twisting, knotting, and doing all sorts of funny things with it.

i ended up with a poofy hairdo, a madcap high ponytail, and a frenchbraid.

 

so yes, i’m seriously considering sending my mum/sister to them for hair styling lessons, so that they can help do my hair back at home.

 

i hate my hair. emoticon

 

in other matters, a series of rather funny events took place last night at wala, and the following conversation between me and the boyfriend was what ensued.

 

if you find the circumstances in the conversation familar to the situation you’re currently in, don’t feel offended hor, it is but ONLY a discussion. emoticon

 

 

yes, i know i do appear mildly shameless.

but hey, if you’re not gonna validate yourself, who’s going to? emoticon
