copper red (bright or dark), amber, auburn, strawberry blonde, terracotta, berry red, mahogany, ginger, persimmon red, rich red tomato, cherry red, cinnamon red or cherry black...?
So many different colours, but which one is the best...
I died my hair cherry black last summer (Cheryl Cole's colour up there ^) and have wondered if I should die my hair again and what shade would it be.

Surviving Scotland
The opaque sky and sea blend together, cloudy typical English weather, though we weren't in England we were on an island of the coast of Scotland. A survival course. I shivered, wrapping my arms around myself. I was dressed in several layers, jumper, coat, walking boots and a heavy rucksack of 80 Lt's. Plus I had to carry the pots and pans, my friends insisted.
I was tired, thirsty and as we approached a small clean flowing stream, I fell onto all fours, with my hands I scooped water up and brought it to my cracked lips.
In amongst the grass, bloodsucking ticks crawled around, waiting to touch bare flesh and sink their teeth in. They would swell into big balloons, before falling off or get the tweezer treatment, then they would be plucked.
As I bent down for more water, I noticed one of them making it's way up my exposed arm. Before it had the chance to attach, I flicked it off. They weren't the only vampire around here. There was also the mosquito, flying and biting everyone, in their wake.
Slate, shells and other stones crunched under our feet as we walked to the shore. The jade hills rolled to the edge of the coastline and far behind me, stretching endlessly.

HK, travel writing
On the ferry to Lamma Island, I leaned back in my chair. Remembering the sight of the silver buildings, towering over me, all lit in bright colours against the dark sky, reflecting in the inky water. It was busy there and people spoke in a language that sounded like gibberish to me. The most memorial thing was the touch of the humid summer.
The wind whipped my hair back and the waves crashed against the side of the boat, taking us further from Hong Kong and to where my father lived. I scoured the sea for dolphins, though they seemed to be hiding. It was my goal to see a dolphin jumping with the waves, but so far no luck.
When my family and I got of the ferry, the first thing to hit me was the stench. There was many restaurants on the island and nearly every one of them, had tanks of all sorts of fish outside, waiting to be chosen to be put on a plait. I never ate them, but favoured the ginger fried rice.
The pastel coloured houses sat scattered on the hill, over looking the sea. I wasn't to stay in one of those houses till a later date, for now I was going to my father's apartment, which lay past the village and in a woodier environment.
My father wrapped his arms around me and talked about all the adventures we'd have.

The leopard look
I used for the coating different shades of foundation. A lighter one all over and a darker one, for the sides of my face sweeping towards my lips and some on the bridge of my nose.
I drew a thin line, with a brown eye liner (from the top of my nose) that circled into a awkward looking semi circle. (to my mouth) Which done on both sides, looks like an upside down heart. (think about a leopard and look at the picture, to get what I'm talking about) Then used the foundation to blend it in.
Then I used the black eyeliner to do cat eyes, think of Amy Winehouse she does dramatic cat eyes. Put eye shadow on, a Goldy/brown colour.
I used a black lipstick and cover my whole bottom lip, but with the top I missed a little out. (My lipstick is not that good, since its cheep. I'll need to get a new one)
I used my black eye liner, to draw a line from my lip to my nose and then coloured the tip of my nose in, drawing a upside down curve (again look at a leopard picture)
Then with the same liner, spotted a few rows for whiskers.
After I used brown eyeshadow to make spots on my forehead and cheeks, outlining half of it with eye liner to get the marking.

I did my Na'vi look, with blue water make-up, which is put on the whole face.
Then with a darker shade of blue, I painted the stripes and tried to keep them even, on both sides of the face and forehead.
You could also use some blush on the cheeks and the end of your nose.
After doing the stripes, I got a white eyeliner and drew dots following the marks on my cheeks, forehead, nose (which you would put some random ones on, since there's no marks) and around my eyes.
When thats all done, then you can do your eyes with black eyeliner (the cats eye) This I find is the hardest part. Since I haven't had much practice doing this yet, hopefully by the end of the year I will be able to do this fluently.
When this is all done, then you can dress up and braid your hair or wair a wig. It would be cool if you had yellow contacts, so you would look more like a Na'vi and a feline prosfetic mask (AwenCreation.co.uk)
Look at this blog, it has some awesome theatre make-up tutorials. http://www.petrilude.com/

Valentine Poems
Everlasting Love
For Rhosmari
Who's the flower of my garden
The star that shines within my spiritual being
My love for you was buried deep
Kept a secret
For I could not speak out loud
Tongue tided in your very presence
Is this a one way thing
Or does your heart bleed too?
No I shan't think that
For Cupid has struck me with his golden arrow
And now all I dream about is you
Your my soul mate I'm sure of it
As sure as the angels that whispered it to me.
When I picture you, your an angel
Through your immortal soul and illusion
Your sunlit hair and roseate cheeks
As a lioness proud and flawless
To hear you sing that sweet melody
And your laugh, like birds in the morning
Are both blessings to my ears
I'd imagine you'd feel as soft as petals
And taste as luxurious as wine
Intoxicating me with your rich aroma
Will you be my Valentine?
Yours forever Dean x
Spellbind
Will I be your valentine?
Yes I will, for now your mine.
Yer yer yer...
Since Dean, I like you in your jeans.
Your so damn clean.
Your my kind of scene.
And we're just teens.
When I read your letter I was scarlet.
Since boy your my orbit.
Going around in circles in my mind.
I was so blind.
Spellbind, spellbind.
For you was my secret too.
Making my poetic heart bleed too.
Lets rewind and be reminded of.
That winged baby who worked his magic on us.
So maybe this firework was thus,
The glamour of two souls entwined.
Weaved together like vines.
First piece, fictionalized Valentine love letter/poem, for mcmb site. And seconded piece, a reply written in song poem format.

Clothes
Blue Banana is fashion with an edge, funky clothes like band/graphic/bubblegum T-shirts, hoodies, corsets and skinnies. With brands varying from Converse all Stars, Hell Bunny, Hello Kitty, Marvel Comics, Newbreed Girl and much more...Though I haven't bought from there yet, I've got my eye on a few things.
New Look has some cute leather jackets and cardigans, the one I'm thinking of is is thick, long, has big buttons, pockets and a hood! I've got a fifteen pound voucher for this shop and it's hard to choose what to get. I already got some pj's with the other fiver, there real cute pink with foxes on. I've been thinking of getting some jeggings, since I've never owned a pair before, if I did get them they'd have to be black and look like skinnies.
Hurrah! I've resonantly bought the black leather looking boots with buckles, at Deichmann :)
The Vampire Diaries fan jewelery have also caught my eye. A year ago there was a competition to win The Twin Fox Ring, which appeases in Vamp Diary The Return: Shadow Soul. The ring allowed Elena to free Stefan from his prison. Which I didn't win, but have found a similar looking ring on eBay nevertheless.
Then the TV show came out (or maybe it came out before hand I don't know) and the crest ring both Damon and Stefan Salvatore weir became available as well. This is silver and is blue lapis lazuli, this ring in the series allows the vampires to walk around in the sun.
Also on eBay are hand made, (vamp diary) fan jewelery, of the vervain heart necklace both Caroline and Elena weir. Plus Tyler's moonstone and Bonnie's amber crystal.
