London Calling!
Yesterday I went to London and back to do a shoot for "Slim at Home" magazine: www.slimathome.co.uk/
I used to weigh 13 stone 10, but am now a healthy 8 stone 4 so they thought I would be a good feature for the magazine! :)
Taking my trusty diary, I wrote down my day to share with you all, so here we go!
8.20 AM
Arrived at Hull Train Station. Went to the loo, the attendant was no where to be seen. Left my 20p on the desk anyway. Sometimes I'm too honest for my own good.
Big grrrrrrrr goes to the lack of Pepsi Max available in this station! Will have to make do with diet coke =(
Sat on the platform, waiting for the train. Didn't sleep well last night so feeling tired and weak.
9.00 AM
Why does every train journey in the UK seem to change at Doncaster? Yes btw, I'm changing at Doncaster.
10.00 AM
Just changed at Doncaster. Its quite chaotic on this train, everyone seems confused and in a hurry!
Already hearing different languages being spoken, which is really exciting for me! I normally only ever hear Yorkshire (which is a language, NOT an accent)
Everyone keeps staring at me, giving me strange looks :s
This train has Wifi internet access - wow!
11.00 AM
I'm sat next to 2 older gentlemen on the train. They are balding and wearing tweed suits with shiny brown shoes. Their dialog is fantastic! An example of an overheard conversation (no joke!):
"I say old chap! Look at these quirky little fields, all black you see."
"Oh yes! Quite! The water level is higher here you see."
"Ah yes! Excellent for sugar beet I'll wager."
"Indeed!"
12.15 PM
I'm in the back of a black taxi cab, he doesn't know where the road is that I need to get to, so is reading a map while he drives, oh dear :s
Just gone past a pub that looks victorian in style but is dark green and brass in colour. It looks really steampunk and is called "The Rocket" :D
1.15 PM
The location for the shoot is a really swish house! Every inch of it is wonderfully decorated, it screams millionaire!
I want to steal the living room chairs.
Feeling horny? he he!
2.30 PM
The team here have put on a beautiful salad and fruit buffet, very ice indeed!
Its all getting mad in here, around 20 women running around chatting, eating, hair styling, scrambling for make-up and clothes. Much fun.
A lady has just come in and painted my nails bright pink for me (I didn't choose the colour!) I could get used to this!
5.30 PM
Really enjoyed the shoot. The MUA gave me beautiful curly hair which I adore! The photographer (Ant) was really lovely! The little dresses I got to wear were really girly and cute :)
The editor informs me I'll be getting a 2 page spread in the magazine which is fantastic! My issue will be August or September, cant wait to see it!
These shots will show a totally different side to Necro, they are very girly and cute. They are also quite natural, in reality I'm forever laughing and these shots are all smily and happy!
6.25 PM
Waiting for my platform to be announced. It's very busy at Kings Cross! I'm sat down tucking into a hot chocolate and chicken bagette sandwich.
Ate my sandwich too quick and now feel sick :s Also have burnt the roof of my mouth with my hot chocolate. I really need to stop eating in the manner of a half-starved wart hog.
The toilets here are 30p lol! Took a pic while I was in there to show my lovely curly hair <3
Sorry about the scruffy appearance, my leather jacket is really old now, plus its a size 12 so it drowns me! :s
9.30 PM
Arrive back at Hull Station. Mum has just text to ask me to pick up some milk on my way home - back to reality!
