KATY PERRY 2011

HOLY MOLY!

Katy Perry last night was INCREDIBLE!

We drove down to Birmingham for the California dreams tour, (it took ages we got stuck between Newport and Cardiff for an hour!)

When we all eventually got to the NIA we had missed the support band, I actually have no idea who it was because we didnt ask and I couldnt see any merch except for Katys. Maybe you know?

Nevermind! The show was great it had everything! A cute back story of a Wizard of Oz/Alice in Wonderland/Cinderella style (which I hope comes out on dvd) It had dancers, flying clouds, mimes and sweets!!

We stood for the show and were towards the back in the hope we could see better and dnace more, but there wasnt the best view for most of the show until Katy came out on a cloud over the audience to sing 'Thinking of You' and look how close we were!

My favourite performances from the concert were Firework que pyrotechnics, Teenage Dream and E.T because it had a fantastic laser lights throughout.

but all of it was amazing.

Her costumes were great especially her peacock outfit there were more sequins on that stage than a sequin factory. During 'Hot and Cold' she even did a quick change routine like you see on Britains got talent which was pretty entertaining.

Me and my friends all decided to dress like katy for the show, you may have seen my post about the dice dress I was making

So here we are
No one else really dressed up which suprised me! There were a lot of blue wigs and I saw one Kathy Beth Terry but thats abou it!



All photos were taken by me except the one of me and my friends that was taken by my lovely boyfriend Ben.

Busy few days

Ive had a busy few days, with the end of year exhibition opening on Wednesday (tomorrow!) I have had a lot of work to do, finishing touches, painting gallery walls you know the drill. I'm excited and nervous, but opening night should be fun there will be a raffle of our prints to raise money for our final year exhibition and free wine ;)
Here is the exhibitions poster made by one of my course mates Craig Harper


On Friday was the University May Ball. The theme this year was Hollywood (last years was Las Vegas, there seems to be the trend). It was complete with Oscar statues and a red carpet! (me on the right my housemate on the left)

We had special guests Utah Saints, Wiley, The Zutons and Roy Walker the guy who presented the gameshow catchphrase.
The shirt he is wearing here was a prize for people who got the catchphrases correct.

The Zutons were amazing I got really close to the front as well.
They played Valerie, Why wont you give me your Love, Pressure Point and a few others.
I have the photos on my flickr

We also went on the ferris wheel and the spinny things, dunno thier technical name.

Then last night me and my friend and my boyfriend and his mate went to see Every Time I Die at the 02 academy in Bristol. The show was awesome ETID played my 2 favourite songs. I had seen them live before at TJs in Newport but it was great to see them in a bigger venue and have more stage space to really perform. Me and Alexa bought t-shirts.
Unfortunatley they didnt play as long as Gallows. By the end of the Gallows set I actually disliked their lead singer, he was spitting everywhere and being so arrogant. However in their encore they played Abandon Ship and Orchestra of Wolves and I they are my favourite songs by the band. They also invited Eva from Rolo Tomassi to sing with them on one song (i forgot the name). She can scream!! I think Ben has a crush on her haha.

After the gig I saw a Banksy! I love his/her/their? work but I'd never seen one in person. I got a photo but it as dark so i'll paste the one i saw here from google images.

How exciting!!
Then we went to the Elbow Room got hammered on wine then got the last train home. I lost my purse with all my cards in on the way back :/
so if anyone finds it please return it to me!!

anyway, ive gotta head to the gallery again then me and a few of my friends are having a Disney night, I will do a related post soon! byeeeeeee xx

A quick post before I go out

I'm off out to 'Battleturf' a battle of the bands type gig.
Just a bit of news on my photography, the bingo hall where I work asked me to take photographs for their advertising campaign. The images will be put on the sides of the Newport City buses! Its quite exciting. Anyway I took the photos yesterday and have been editing today, I handed over a disk wih all the images on to my manager today and then ssomeone else will be making the advert, so i imagin this means selecting some images adding text and printing it etc. Ive got one special favourite that ive put onto my deviant art account take a look
