Almost Alternative

What's A Happening? Hi everyone it has been forever and life has been complicated but I have missed my little blog space so I'm back. I am going to start with something superficialish because why not. December Lipstick Challenge This month I have been posting a lot of make up pictures. I am wearing it everyday as a challenge to stop me moping around and not taking care of myself. Like seriously in November I didn't brush my hair maybe 2/3 of the days, depression for you everyone. So in December I am opening an advent calendar with a different lip colour everyday and I'm using them. It's been interesting a lot of them so far have been not my usual colours so that's been fun. My favourite thing about it has been some of the conversations I have had about makeup because of it. It's interesting hearing how makeup makes people feel. One person I was talking to sent me a thing about answering questions relating to beauty so I thought I would answer th...

So I thought sharing some of my favourite quotes with you might give you a bit of insight into me.  Photo by me Taken outside Liverpool Central Library   My all time favourite person to quote from is the wonderful Oscar Wilde. I could quote him forever, but I will just share a few of my favs. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. Too many people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing. My love of Oscar is long standing I fell in love with his wit at the age of 12. I bought the complete works around 18 and not a year passes where I do not fall in love with him all over again. I guess one of my next big quotable people would be Neil Gaiman. My love of whom is strongest when perfectly matched with Dave Mckean. I can not describe his writing in a way that does it any justice b...

On Sunday I went on a photographers and models day trip around Chester. One of the many awesome things I get to do with my time. Taking in scenery and architecture.  As well as meeting wonderful people. Model Dyna-Mynx  And getting to photograph them and play around with the images.

Introducing Almost Alternative Photo by RaPhotographic  Hi. There I am Bel, this is my blog and that is my face. I am apparently an alternative person, although I never quite know what that means. I think it means I am a cat and not a human. I am classed as an alt model, I hang in alt places, I live an alt lifestyle and I am not really sure I am alternative at all. I get funny looks from uptight people, I am not reserved enough for everyone's tastes, I look a little different than most and I guess I live in a bit of a strange way. On the other hand I get told I'm not punk enough, not goth enough, I don't have enough tattoos, I don't listen to the right music, I don't buy my clothes in the right places and I'm a little too normal. Photo by RaPhotographic I am enough though, its cool if people don't think I fit in, I don't mind not having a scene to call my own. I have many wonderful people in my life from a variety of scenes. I get to hang out ...
