Like Warhol once said: Artist's should not be pretty - I consider myself an Artist


Here I am, your blogger! brought to you through the medium of a photomaontage, what could be a better way to put a face, numerous faces, to a name!
& If Andy Warhol did not officially say that 'quote'... Guy Pearce did to Sienna Miller in 'Factory Girl'.
The jobless is also no longer jobless, I have always been mocked by tutors as the one with no job in a class full of working girls. I have now worked 2 shifts at Next clothes store, first proper job, after my last stint of 2 nights scraping bones and other such grime, from underneath counters in a restaurant kitchen. never again!
Really enjoying the not much more glamorous experience of retail work, can't believe the drama of a shop! spending my hours hiding from the boss behind pillars.
Will definitley show you something creative & interesting? soon, busy sorting stuff out, & getting my head around finishing col for good, although I have appplied for an Art Foundation course at col again for next year. Do not want to leave the college lifestyle, and will stop me getting out of the method of working, ready for uni next year.

Thoughts are the name of the game, really...

Just realised I should probably introduce myself... and also having second thoughts on the blog name, not sure if I am singling myself out in the fashion world, I am not the patriotic type, I am a welsh speaker, although I live right on the border, 30mins from Chester, Cheshire & about an hour away from Manchester, to put myself on the map, in a tiny village called Froncysyllte, yes I can say it, I challenge you! I call nearby Wrexham my town.

Did not realise I was truly Welsh until I have been going away to Uni Open days, & this UK skills competition, which I will also later explain, where I was meeting people, and introducing myself as being from North Wales, and people picture it all sheep & fields, which it can be, as I live in the country i suppose, although a main road is only a walk away, and the bright lights of town life beckon.

Finding this blogging demanding already, I call it 'this' as though still unsure of what I am getting into. although I have been a follower of such blogs as; Fashion-Toast written by ex stylist Rumi Neely, & The Satorialist, amongst others for a while now. Just going to write what comes to my head, a lot as I think more than I speak.

Feeling the need to explain my whole being, as if anyone cares. Wanted more of a social life this year, here I am blogging, the second within... 10mins? no good with time

I have this strange way of speaking, and I can feel it in my writng, of taking the mick out of fashion and dissing what I do, as though I don't really care, I felt it in my Uni interview, although I got the place. Maybe it's beacause im a male in fashion from a small town in Wales, but it is my calling, 'I know my future has to be within fashion', as my UCAS personal statement said.

First Post - Thoughts On Blogging

Well...... here I am sitting at the screen, obviously listening to Florence & the machine, whom I just got tickets 2 go see! Ironically, listening to 'Girl with one eye', kinda sick, as my cat, came in yesterday morning with his left eye pouring with blood, after a suspected cat fight, after much drama on my part, he is recovering after his trip to the vets, who said he had a hole in one of his three layers of eyes? very interesting I thought.

More to the point of blogging, I am unsure how to start, perhaps I will just procrastinate a little longer, I always do that! sort of planning out my blog in my head, before I've even started.
The thing is... I am about to finish college next week, and I'm a little scared that my exciting escapades in fashion will end with that, and I will lose it over the summer hols. althouh I should, I mean will, be in some form of University, doing some sort of fashion course next yr, I will explain of the drama later. You don't know me yet :D
I should have blogged about my adventures across the two years of my National Diploma in Fashion & clothing. But we must not dwell on, wudda, shudda, cudda, as All Saints famously said, put it, over & over again! damn them!

So I will now start my blogging journey, I say. Thinking I will probably dig out my old col stuff, and telling you of what I've been up to over my years. Check back for future development,
gimme time! I have a show to plan atm! & models are a droppin' like flies at the last minute!
Speak soon, who ever is out there...............
