They Call Us The Delicates :0)

So my day off for those that know me (Workaholic that I am) I'm always looking for something to do. So when the fantabulous photographic genius that is Garry Maclennan enquired into my plans and asked me to take part in a shoot he was doing I thought I'd tag along... Now I'm not the most photogenic of persons (which I think Garry knows) but he did refer to me as a cool cat (which is really not true, I'm such a geek!) and then told me I'd just be in the background, so I thought I could manage it!

So I dandered down to Cushion and Cake where I got dressed up by Love Yesterday and then sat in the background trying to look pretty, whilst two professional girlies named Lauren and Nicole done all the hard work. I tried my best to be professional, but having my friend clare sat opposite me making me laugh every 2 minutes made this very difficult! Not sure how impressed Garry was, but he was doing some kinda Beavis and Butthead laugh which I assume means he didn't mind :0)

Trying to Concentrate on the flowers and not Clare!

We promptly ate cake which was yummy, I had coconut and lime.. Hyom Hyom Hyom... and then all took a stroll down to the most amazing launderette in the West... The Majestic.. We got some funny looks on route..

We decided to start a band called The Delicates, super awesome name. If only we could sing :0(..

I got a bit excited by the tumble dryers which were nearly as big as me, and really wanted to get in one. So I did....

Me and Clare snuck back in and she took this snap on her I Phone, I think Garry was a bit jealous of her skills!

On the way back we bumped into this fella...

He appears to be an alien with only 2 legs..

And then the cake shop was full, and getting changed was an issue. I managed to get back into my own clothes on the street, using Garry and Clare as a shield! All in all I had a super fun day and Garry made getting photo's taken so relaxing (I'm not usually keen coz of my stupid face!)

I love going to waitrose and hunting down the red clearance labels. Me and Charlotte had a bit of a blow out though and spent a fortune on hot chocolate making ingredients.. However we did come across these beauties....

10p Woop..

And lets just say had possibly the best hot chocolate ever, with a lil bit of Lavazza icecream on the side..

We've been buying DVD'S recently, that have to be within a £3 budget. The other day we succeeded in buying the best one ever, which was based around Hillbilly Zombies and had us laughing all night, so we decided to stick with the Zombie theme and get Zombie Women of Satan... We went from the top end of the scale to the bottom... If you ever see this DO NOT BUY IT.. Worst film ever.. (Did have a character called Pervo the clown which should of been funny... If only the actor wasn't so bad).. I fell asleep :0(

WHERE DO ALL THE HILLBILLIES GO?

Hmmmm Where do all the Hillbillies go I hear you ask.... Well Sat we all headed to Kilmarnock and a club called Rockin at O'Shannons :0) Boy I was in my element.. My adopted family picked me up and Tony shoved on some outstanding Hillbilly tracks for me to sing along to in the car...

Kilmarnock, Where all the Hillbillies were at...

Sailor Tony... Or should it be Hillbilly Tony?

On arrival I met my favourite guy from these parts Corn...

And then me and my sis ordered us a coupla Ciders in the Hillbilly tradition...

We tried all variety's available, our favourite being the sneaky bulmers berry variety which we got by accident...

The music got going and I've never felt so at home, (they don't call me Hillbilly Hana for nothing you know!) I was on the dance floor most of the night, bopping, strolling, jiving....

Good friend Paul taking me for a spin!

Me and Charlotte even done a bit of romantic 2 stepping (I think people maybe thought we will Hillbillies of the incest variety at that point :0/ )....

It all got a bit sweaty, luckily being a hillbilly and all, tony had the correct equipment to deal with the sticky situation...

Sweat Rag!

And see this lovely lady Sam, (aka best friend/adopted mam) well she took me for a spin too, but unfortunately spun me a bit to fast. She like's to jive in super awesome high heels and I kinda landed on her toe.... Boy she was brave, nearly finished the number but noticed blood everywhere.. Turns out I split her big toe nail in half. Was not a pretty sight (I also have a low gag reflex when it comes to feet, so didn't cope with this to well)..

A smashing band called Root'n Toot'n aka Colin n Amanda, played some awesome tunes which I had great enjoyment singing along to. They also have a spare instrument called the Hillbilly stick which is a massive stick covered in bottle caps with a chicken on the top and a boot on the bottom... Fair to say being Hillbilly Hana I joined the band for a track and stomped the Hillbilly stick to my hearts content.. I'm pretty sure they wanted me as a permanent fixture...

Me with Root'n Toot'n

It was a super night with all my favourite music.. Hot Dawg I really am a Hillbilly at Heart...

I leave you with one of my fav Tunes from the fab Little Jimmy Dickens... 

Moustache Day!

OK so I decided to do this blog thing. I haven't got a clue what I'm doing or even where to start, but I thought it would be fun to share some of the things I get upto on a day to day basis because lets face it people do love to laugh at me which I think is a good thing! Also my friend Julia (who has an awesome blog I might add!) http://monkeysandink.blogspot.com/ described it as having an eternal online diary, which pretty much sold it to me :0)

So I thought I'd start on my moustache day. A while back when I moved into my flat I got a pack of moustaches as a house warming gift (I dig Moustaches). They've been sat in a drawer for sometime waiting on an occasion for me to wear them.. That occasion did not come..

Me and Hamish.

So I just decided to give one an outing. I slapped it on a skipped off to work, now the scary thing is this tache looked awesome and I'm sure that the persons I passed on route to the shop didn't even bat an eye!

Initially I came a cropper a couple of issues, firstly the amount of heat that a tache causes and secondly I hadn't acquired the skill of blowing your nose without getting a snotty tache. I'm still trying to work this out..

After a while, with the shop being a bit quiet I then decided maybe I should match my beautiful facial hair with some suitably beautiful new clothes. So I wandered over to see Al at Not Now Cato and spoke to him regarding what type of attire would best suit me and make my tache stand out.. Al proceeded to re-style me accordingly. And this is the result!

Moustache Pose!

Classic Catalog Pose!

So I'm sure you'll agree I look pretty awesome as a man.. I named myself Harry (Natural progression from Hana) but on consulting the staff of De Courcy's Arcade I was informed that I look latin (cha ching) and Harry was not the name for me... Thereafter my good friend/sister renamed me Horacio....

Alan Styled me..

Then I kicked his arse!

So Horacio was an awesome alter ego, turns out he gets all the arcade chics......

And he sure has an attitude... It was a sad time when Horacio left the building... High light of the day.. Miss Lottie Lou's customer calling me transgender.. (Amazing)

So another skill to add to my list... I look great as a guy.... 

A fun day to start bloggin I think..
