Edinburgh wrap up! pt 1

well now that i'm in bolonga, i suppose i better catch up a bit with things before i forget!

edinburgh was great. i ate so much, and according to meico it's just filled with great restaurants. he might very well be right on that account.
the night i landed we hit a Chinese place, followed by a group dinner at a Japanese restaurant for teppanyaki (i already posted some fotos in LJ).
But here's a few more of the guys tossing eggs because Fiona's camera is better than mine:

     


The following night was all about Korean. I invited Barrie & Fiona to come try it with me and I was so happy to find that it was actually really good and not crazy expensive - it seems that the London KBBQ joints are a bit more costly.

I added a review on google - (author: Kumi) I thought the place was yummy enough to deserve one. Plus, it's one of only two Korean places in all of Scotland - or so i hear. The other is in Glasgow and run by the same owners ;-)

    

i ate soooo much!

The next day I headed over on the train to Glasgow for my shoot with Ruth(less photography) ;-)
I took the obligatory photo with the cone-headed horse guy as we walked from the train station to the studio.










After the shoot we walked over to wait for Barrie & Fiona for more yummy food at the Red Lizard pub.
I was told not to eat anything so instead i ended up putting a lil bit of JD into my belly.
oops.



Miss Ruthless didn't stay for dinner. B & F & me walked over to the Dhabba for super dooper yummy Indian.
nom nom nom!



Had a day off so ended up catching up with emails. But in the evening B n I headed into town so I could play tourist while F went to her aerial class to be fit n stuff. Did the Mary King's Close underground tour and it was actually quite nice and didn't leave you feeling ripped off.
The ground was all done up nice with wooden floors and it actually seemed quite clean and decently lit so there was no feeling of being lost which is kind of what i was hoping for - that and a sense of extreme claustrophobia to go with the disorientation, but no luck. In the end it was still pretty cool. After the tour, we waited for Fiona in a pub n then got burgers. They had A & W rootbeer and funny shaped onion rings...









After dinner we headed back to the car and got on the road to Livingstone :-)

The next day was a shooting day. And it was an outside shooting day too! BRRRR!
I ran around a brickworks wearing a latex catsuit which wasn't very helpful in keeping me warm. gah!!!
Took a little siesta afterwards and then we headed out to meet up with meico and ayia for ascension_club
but before that B & F took me to the newsroom to wait for their friend who was going to play gawth with us.

Edinburgh wrap up! pt 2

The next day was long! Most likely due to the JD i accidentally put into my belly the night before.
But also because I saw on my butt getting my 'make up' done for several hours!
In the end though, it was really cool! Barrie had this idea to cover my head in henna and he met this mua that really wanted to do it too.
She was really nice and stayed after her planned time even tho her b/f was waiting for her @ the train station back in Glasgow.
She did an awesome job! Unfortunately, henna leaves behind a decent stain of color and we had to figure out a way to prevent that. We ended up putting a coat of liquid latex on my head which was fine at first, but I knew i'd get a rash from it and so now the back of my neck and behind the ears is all irritated - just where all those sensitive parts are. It's getting a lil better now tho.
Next time we're doing my whole head n neck n stuff!!

A couple of friends (K & P) were in town from Copenhagen and so we planned for dinner in the city again. meico joined us as well.
I was craving more Korean and this time we tried some more dishes and again we were all pleased. The odd thing was that the meal actually cost less than before! But it was still yummy! meico brought some of his double chocolate rum coconut brownies and we ate 'em all!











---

The next day, I finished up my packing and then headed out to the airport and off to Bologna.
The ryanair flight didn't cost that much but the 19.99 kilo suitcase did cost me an extra £80 (£20 per kilo over 15 kilos - though when i booked the ticket it was only £15 per kilo over 15). Ass!

Landed at BLQ on time though and no issues with the flight or airline.
And it was nice n warm outside!

Bologna is for eating...

well it seems every time i come here i end up eating - a lot. it's a wonder i can still fit into latex and shoot during my stay here!

tonight we're eating home-made pumpkin tortelloni with sage and butter.
teo keeps repeating at me what i said a long time ago: "fat is flavour!"

Flying over the Alps:


A super gorgeous day to land:


Started off by hitting the pasticceria! These were finished before the day was over:


Dinnner - fresh scallops turned into yummy goodness followed by even yummier sea bass n steamed veggies followed by even more pasté!




All that was just the first day.

The next day (Wednesday) we headed into Bologna proper to check out a photo expo at the Nu Lounge.
Valentina, Teo, and I met up with Andrea and then walked over to the bar.
We ended up needing a little more than just alcohol so we got ourselves a table !
I ended up with Tortelloni filled with cheese n spinach stuffs and then got babb'a for desert.
yum yum yum yum yum!
