Earth Months, Kontan, Pinupzania.

Hasn't it been a while? Three whole Earth months. Since prom and the jumble sale. I have mostly been working and spending my wages too quickly and easily on vintage treasure. However, this happy, guilt free spending really needs to stop for the following reasons:
a) I still need to pay for a little 'gals on tour' style German exchange
b) I can't bloody close my wardrobe as it is
and
c) Where as the work to school work ratio was about 3:1 over the summer, it's swapped around to about 1:3 and the incoming packets of gold are somewhat less frequent these days.

It's a little problem, because I have a slight shopping problem. It's something I need to come off of slowly... along with Nutella, apple juice, and banana milkshake... which pretty much means all of the joys of life. Fab.

Anyway, this week was pretty groovy. I had been fairly nervous all week about having to do this bloody French conversation lesson twice a fortnight with the French language assistant. The reason for this was mostly the manly European chain around his neck, but it was also his slightly vacant stare. As it turns out, Quentin ("Kontan" apparently...) is really a very gentle, quiet soul. He was nice. Very patient with my ridiculous attempts to string French words into sentences. But he did spell squirrel wrong. We're working on it.

Oooh, I did some pin-up with Pinupzania over the summer! That was fun. I love pin-up, at the moment I'm working on getting a portfolio together, so maybe I'll post some of it here for you to cast your eyes over. Tomorrow in particular, I'm starting with Christmas pin up (for a sort of vintage style lads' mag- about vintage cars, and cocktails...not a nipple tassel or tramp stamp in sight), but I'll leave you with an Elvgren beauty.
