In which there are reflections on blogging, Disney and lipstick

I went a bit over board with these pictures but I really love them. All my pictures are taken by my other half so I don't always have the most control over how they turn out! We don't even own a tripod for taking them on my own, and the camera is a little digital one, so we don't have the resources that some other bloggers do. However, I think Andy is really getting better at them! I hope you think so too. He sometimes looks over my shoulder when I am blog reading for ideas and in a way I think I'm giving both of us hobbies.

I really think doing this fashion blog has done wonders for my confidence. Even though I still feel embarrassed when people stare at us doing it! Today though I felt pretty kick-ass in this outfit and would have been comfortable staring back. (It's the neighbours who just stand at the window and watch when we do it in the back yard that creep me out).

Oh, and after that last post about how much I love playing Kingdom Hearts? Andy and I just bought Epic Mickey for our Wii! Now we have even more Disney gaming to choose from. It's quite good so far, a little simple but we think it will get more complex. Just running round as Mickey with a magic paintbrush is a lot of fun. It's actually very odd how much I love these games because I wasn't really into Disney as a kid. We never had many Disney films and I genuinely enjoyed reading fairy tales more than watching the films. I used to feel that the films ruined them. To be honest, I still have no regard to The Little Mermaid which in my opinion take all the beauty and mystery out of the story. But I like a lot of what Disney have done and am learning to be less snobbish in general about adaptations of beloved books. Or I am just getting more childish as I get older! Plus Mickey, Donald and Goofy are Disney's own so they can't go ruining them!

One of my new year's resolution was to learn to wear lipstick. Now I wear it quite a lot, but bring out the bright colours at the weekend. It really does make me feel special. I want to splash out on buying some more but don't know where to start. Believe it or not, I only own three shades. All of which were presents so I didn't have to make the choice. I actually mentioned a few weeks ago my lack of make-up knowledge. With all those lipstick shades out there I really can't decide which to buy so I shall probably go with whichever brand has the best packaging and whichever colour looks the most delicious.

Standing on the log! Drawing attention to myself! What have I become?  I used to look for the quietest corner of the park for my photos.

Might sound weird but I feel like this shot looks a little like Midwest Muse's photography style. Don't quite know how that happened!

By the way, for the last month uploading pictures to Blogger has been a nightmare for me. My image upload function keeps crashing. In fact Firefox went down 4 times whilst doing this post. Anyone has this happen before & have a fix?
