INK & TALKSHOWS

So yesterday I had a rather busy day, which is normally unlike me haha. First thing in the morning (well 11am) I power walked my way to the bus stop to catch the 126 to Eltham High Street to get some new ink from my pal Danny Brown of Inksmiths of London. I finally got my adorable and highly loved Totoro tattoo that was meant to have happened last November (don't ask- stupid public transport).

Latest edition- Totoro!

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Totoro is the forest spirit in the Studio Ghibli film "My Neighbour Totoro". I am a massive fan of Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki in particular. I love this new additon to my every growing collection! (This now brings me up to tattoo number 8) and I love my tattoo artist Danny Brown, i've been going back to him since he did my first UK tattoo, just a pure gentleman. In fact everyone at Inksmiths are incredibly talented artists and very helpful in giving you the best service possible.

After this lil baby got inked on my skin, I had to rush back home to start getting ready for my night time activities... About a week ago my friend Krizia asked if i was interested in partaking in the live audience for Alan Carr Chatty Man. Who was I to say no! I'd never been in a live audience before so I was quite excited. Obviously I was mega conscious about what I was gunna wear.. HELLO what if this was my big break and someone spotted me from the crowd?! (it didn't happen, but a girl can still dream haha) I'll chuck up an outfit post after this one, so you all know what I wore. As usual however I lost track of time, so had to run to the train station and pray I didn't miss my train.
Alan Carr Chatty Man was amazing! But also very strict. I was hoping to have gotten a few sneaky pics to post up here, but that was a big NO NO! After the threats of possibly being kicked out, I decided to turn my phone off to resist the temptation. Although UK viewers tune in Friday 12th April, Channel 4,  10pm, I'll be tuning in to see if I can see me (I was third row for those of you playing at home haha).
Fall Out Boy were the musical guests which made me over the moon as I absolutely LOVE them! I'd quite happily say they are my top fav band. I couldn't resist yelling out to Patrick that I loved him haha (with the help of my friend Therese who helped pushed me to do it), it was worth it though because he turned around and waved at us *cue fangirling*.
Apparently these live audience events have VIP wristbands, which means you can stay after the show and mingle with the stars and drink champagne. I got a little too excited when they said "gold wrist bands stay behind", my wristband was yellow but thought it could pass for gold, until Krizia told me that I was wrong haha.

My "gold" wristband haha

Can I just say English weather.. sort your shit out! We came out of the ITV Studios it was pouring it down. I decided to wear my Primarni flats as the weather was nice when I left and by the time I got back to Waterloo they were drenched! Although something did happen to take my mind off of being caught in the rain. I had tweeted just a general tweet about my evening including a mention to Patrick Stump (singer of Fall Out Boy) and his adorable-ness, I was eating my wrongly ordered Burger King (I asked for a cheeseburger meal but got a hamburger meal #firstworldproblems) when my phone alerted me that I had a mention.. it was only freaking Patrick Stump replying back to me. The amount of contain fangirling that occured within my body was unbelievable. I'm surprised I didn't squeal out loud causing the public to assume that I was indeed a wacko (perhaps a little squeal came out).

*cue hardcore fangirling*

It's days like these were I truly miss being in London, not that i'm enjoying learning about my course and working my way to a degree, but London is LONDON. My adoptive hometown <3

Today though has been the complete opposite of yesterday, i've literally just lazed about all day. But that's mainly down to me having no money (hurry up the 22nd!) However I have decided that i'm going to attempt the 30 Day Shred. May even do it as part of a blog series? I'm also going to attempt the NHS Couch to 5k, as lame as it sounds i've always wanted to be a runner, it's just so handy, you can literally take this exercise "skill" anywhere. We'll see though...

Until next time...
