Would Marilyn have Zumba'd?

Well you are allowed a weekly allowance of 49 points..(on top of your daily one)...and I only started this on Friday and my weekly allowance is down to 23 already! haha...oops!
And now Im out for lunch today and have Brighton to contend with next week eekkk!
Better do some exercising then. Which currently is Zumba. Not going to lie - I find bits of it quite boring. I have the DVD. I hate exercising in a group, Im much better off doing it at home. If I want to do it at 5am I can. I dont live in New York so the betting I find a Zumba class at that hour here in the sticks is no way Jose!

But it works. I sweat like a pony! As in my bra is wet through. So somethings happening ( cardiac arrest knowing me hehe) . But Im sticking with it. Especially as I now have Sunday lunch out today and a cooked breakfast on Wed morning...but more about Brighton when I have been and gone......including the wonderful place I stay.....The Avalon....

Back to Marilyn....I digress yet again.....I have printed off 8 hairstyles of hers for my hair makeover tomorrow. I have unpacked my heated rollers, realise I am so cack-handed this will be highly amusing...and have told myself not to bother doing it when going to work, just for weekends and other important stuff.........................
So here are the pictures my hairdresser is getting ( fortunately she is one of those who actually LIKES pictures to be taken to her, she knows if she can do it then or not and advises me best)....some hairdressers hate pictures...................I will take before and after photos.............roll on tomorrow then for cutting, colouring, giggling and heated rollering!

Clearly I realise the last two are Paris Hilton (can't actually stand the woman but this is for a purpose now!) but my hair will DEFINITELY do the last 2 styles as it looks like the last pic if I just leave it! (well OK if I sleep on it and dont brush it, that is more or less what you get ahem)

PS - not aiming to be as thin as the last pic as a) thats impossible as I like food, and b) too thin - I have boobs and I love them!

And one more thing before I go, I did the make up yesterday.....mineral foundation, brown  liquid eyeliner (suits me better than black - thats too harsh for me), and red lipstick :) and I felt good!

Hmm...where to begin?

Well there has been a lot of thinking going on lately. Firstly concerning my deepest darkest desire to move to Brighton...keep applying for jobs and then reality sinks in when I realise the financial considerations of actually getting out of this shithole I currently live in!
I have sat myself down and made myself a three year plan : two years to save up enough money to put down a deposit and months rent in advance on a flat (without hopefully skinting myself in the process cough splutter) and staying in the actual job I have now long enough to gain enough experience to land myself a higher earning job on the south coast of my dreams!
Secondly....I have been reading a lot about vintage lately. Vintage to me means second-hand (or even third or fourth) recycled garb that was your great-granny's. But it got me thinking...........thinking about my icon...yes, you guessed it, Marilyn Monroe.....
I have adored the 50s and in particular her look, and I have decided that  a) I need to lose some weight ( I really really do!) and so to inspire myself I am going to model myself on La Monroe!

A few months back now, I started researching her make up - I have almost perfected the placing of her beuaty spot......I have found her red lipstick......HERE      and  now I need her hair   ......drum roll.....my amazing fabulous hairdresser, Claudia, who is the expert in all things hair-related....is dyeing my locks blonde again and hopefully showing me how to "Marilyn it" without me getting all cack-handed and frustrated as usual.... I will let you know how we get on!
