Today I went to buy a tube of foundation and ended up with a big John Lewis bag full of Clinique facial products and make-up. [livejournal.com profile] spam_robot77's mum is a make-up artist and says Clinique is a good brand. Also, it was the brand favoured by David Sylvian in his Japan heyday, fact fans!

It was quite dear but I have tried so many products over the years but none of them have done much for my skin. So I thought I'd invest in some high-quality stuff for a change. I got a free gift of a box of eye make-up, too! I am pleased.

My haircut yesterday, courtesy of Davide, went well. All the black round the back and sides has been cut out so it's very short there, but longer on top and in the fringe. He achieved a high degree of lift, no yellow brassy tones there. [livejournal.com profile] spam_robot77's mullet has also had a revamp.

I was dismayed today to receive a friend request from a photographer who seems to specialise in burlesque pictures. I've tried hard to make my MySpace off-putting to these types but they keep coming, although to a lesser degree. Why do they think I'd be interested? My profile is beige and my username is Man at C&A!

And why do b*rle*que "artistes" give themselves names with the "Von" prefix when they clearly are not Germans? I know what Germans look like, I've seen pictures of Kraftwerk. Do they take us for fools?

Today I woke up and was rather appalled to that my eye appeared to be bleeding internally, with a big patch of blood showing on the white. I went to get it looked at by an optician. First I tried Dolland & Aitchison, who said they couldn't do anything I've never been their customer. Then Boots, who said they were fully booked and that I should try a local hospital.

Finally, I found a place called 20/20 Optique in The Mall, as Wood Green calls its shopping centre. The optician shone lights in my eyes, made me read things and then said it was fine, just a broken blood vessel which will heal itself. This can happen because of hypertension. Maybe the stress of recent times brought it on.

I rewarded myself for being brave for the doctor with a bag of sweets and some new sunglasses, big aviator-style ones with black frames. They look quite poncy and were very cheap.

[livejournal.com profile] vieannelyle should be coming on Tuesday to visit me for a bit! I am pleased.
