Back for the Attack - Cyber Green

So I have returned!

After much time off with work stress, life stress, financial stress I feel like I finally have some time and energy to put back into blogging.

I had also been spending a fair amount of time doing crafts (which I had totally neglected) and also playing some games, both computer and table top war gaming.

A welcome back post would not be complete without some pictures!

Here is my newest tattoo, it's actually very new! only a week old! It is by far my fav and was drawn from scratch and tattooed by my friend Paul Abstruse who is a published comic book artist.

(this goes from practically my crotch to my knee on my left thigh it's HUGE)

Check out his work here!

 

So I changed my diet a fair bit, I have cut out all wheat and a lot of beans, corn, limited my dairy and rice intake and I have actually lost quite a bit of weight.

Instead of an xxl shirt from ThinkGeek I am an M! My corset that used to just fit now completely closed at the back! In addition to becoming more sexy I also feel less sick, have more energy and can think better.

Here are some pics of a cute green outfit I wore the other weekend.

Best Cyber Wig Ever - Videos are fun

Hello hawt interwebs people!! Look at my wiiiiggggg!

Goggles and glasses together looks werid!
Ahhh Monday morning here, Yay (I think :s)

What a hilarious and awesome weekend! Much fun and sillyness was had with my housemate Rachel aka Cold-Blooded Angel and our friend Mellie.

Have you heard of Industrial Dancing? It is a kind of dancing, that funnily enought is done to industrial music. The latest goffik internet craze is making cute/funny or just cool videos of people doing these dances, sometimes in hilarious places or just out in public.

Here is an example I like (it's both good and bad, serious but also funny)

We all love these videos and can't enough of watching them, and since our group of friends and funny and cool(of course hah!) we decided we would make one of these videos. We had about 8 people lined up to do it but of course everyone piked on us so it was Just Rachel, Mellie and me.

What a great excuse to wear my new wig and contact lenses! I did sort of simple make up with big bottom lashes as the video was being done at night and I wanted to draw people into the contacts.

Unfortunately I was sober during the whole event ( I am not drinking till June and have already gone nearly two months without drinking!) but Mellie and Rach were drunk enought on my behalf. After the video making we watched Backstreet Boys videos on youtube and danced to them.

I got two great photos of Rach and Mellie while we were filming, you can't see their make up but the photos are awesome so I am going to include them! I will have some pics of Rach and Mellies make up later on as they looked awesome with Mellie being all white and Rach all black :)

M I A . . . Where is Holly?

The end of April and the start of May have sucked for me.
I have been battling a flu virus for weeks and it was slowly working me down.
Just on easter it struck, I had to have a few days of work.

Unfortunately, one of the coolest industrial shows ever was on on Good Friday.

The killer Band Nachtmahr was finally in Australia with Grendel and Cervello Elettronico, who I also love.

Nachtmahr

To make it even cooler my besty best friends band Shiv-r were supporting.

Whenever they play and I am free I end up being their, make up/costume/ merch bish.
It can be stressful and a bit of work but also super fun and we get to hang out backstage and get really drunk (and watch everyone change out of their sweaty stage outfits!)

Here is Wendy from Shiv-r and I with Thomas from Nachtmahr, all quite drunk being nerd backstage.

Here is the token waaassttedd iphone photo of Pete and Wendy (Shiv-r) and I
We are so drunk we are actually drinking beer!

I will post a few more pictures of us later as my make up and hair was awesome.
Needless to say we stayed out quite late, it's winter here, so it's cold and this made my flu very very bad.

I was barely surviving and getting through work, sleeping as soon as I got home.
Then last week I was soooo sick I couldn't get out of bed, so I decided to go to the doctor.
I noticed my little toe on my left foot looked bruised so I figured I would ask about that too.

Turns out it was broken! Who would have thought!

'OMG Holly how did you not notice your toe was broken?!' you ask?
Well if you don't know me IRL and haven't noticed in the above pictures I am actually in a wheelchair. I can't feel my legs from my knees down so had NO IDEA that my foot was even hurt.
Poor little toe! I have to go back for an x-ray in 6 weeks to see if it healed ok.
I was surprised that they actually don't do anything for a broken toe, they can tape it to your other toe but that's about it. Since I don't walk around on it there was no point taping.

Unfortunately I had chosen this time in my life where I was dying of the flu and broken myself to take the initiative to start a few thing I have really wanted to do.

So a few weeks prior I mad an appointment with a Harp Teacher!
Owen Torr, he is awesome and has played with the Sydney Symphony and Australian Chamber Orchestra plus more.

Here is me sucking at harp practice while dying of the flu.

The other more exciting part of my new life initiative was to enrol in the Make up college 3Arts here in Sydney.
It was the first make up school in Australia, is awesome and conveniently is a 15 min walk from my house. I will post about this a bit more soon, with pics!
