It's time to take the chalkboard out for the day...
ummm...
'To Peaches & Cream!'
My friend Rose works at a local beauty salon in Liverpool called Peaches & Cream. On this particular day I scheduled my face in for her to practise her 'glitter smokes'.
Scared to chalk inside the building (because I was definitely taking some sticks with me), I took my own chalkboard. Aiming to please, I took in a small pink cupcake, too...
Oh, and I ordered a taxi.
It's on Dale Street...
Which is NOWHERE near my house...
The front of Peaches & Cream!
'Hello Helen :) Welcome to Peaches x x'
A nice welcome!
It's time for a '#Roseover'...
(Hashtags remind Rose and I of a gig we went to in the city a few months ago. It was too loud to talk so we, using our phones, adopted the hashtag method of communicating our thoughts. It made sense to carry on the tradition today to avoid moving my face to talk/to make use of my hands and my chalk.)
This is Rose.
This is her make-up collection....
This is uh...
...before the glitter stage
Yip, that one's nice.
Yep, I like it.
Yeah, that one as well...
Shortly after Rose mixed this, I flipped it onto the floor...
'Too much for work?'
'NO'
There was still the rest of my face to cover...
So I shut my eyes and we had a little chat.
Firstly, about The Maccabees...
(Rose is going to see them live)
Then about other people's weddings...
(She did the make-up for a whole host of them in the summer...)
And then about uh...morphine.
And by the time we stopped discussing bands, young love and aches, it was complete :)
Eyes shut!
Eyes open!
And not an ounce of powder out of place/all the way down my face...
Love the makeover. Love my new postcard.
Love that the photo of my rabbit from the chalkboard now lives in the salon...
But sad to go.
Bye fish in your great big tank!
#Iwanttoownyou
Bye welcoming lady with the neat handwriting!
'Byeeee'
It's time to face the music...(work)
Well, right after I've run around the city with my new look...
...and drunk tea in a place where I would usually only wear mascara.
