Totally would if I could! But need to wait here for an undetermined amount of time so this guy can set up the projector for me, can’t go home until it’s done coz the hand in is tomorrow. Which is why I went to him a couple times in the last couple weeks and got everything I needed asap
So unhappy right now. Was feeling good about going into uni, getting the projector set up, getting a ride here and back, and just being able to relax. Instead I’m now going to have to catch two busses home coz this is taking fucking forever, don’t even know where the guy helping me is, and I can’t do it myself. I also had to clean a beam, and got up on a ladder and suddenly realised I’m not over my fear of heights. Not getting back up there, the guy better position this damn projector for me coz I don’t think I can do it myself. It’s shit weather too, just want to go home, not looking forward to it taking like two hours to get there. Wish I hadn’t bothered with this whole thing, it’s not even a huge assignment. Fucking hell.

Maybelline “Confidence” ads. SO happy with how the colors in these turned out in printing and matting. To clarify, these are not real Maybelline ads, they were created for an advertising class.
EDIT: This is important. This means a lot to me. I legitimately believe a huge mistake was made today.
These ads were a part of my portfolio into the advanced advertising program at my school. About half of the people who apply get in. I got into the first two creative classes, intro and intermediate, and I was confident I would get into advanced… especially after I posted these on tumblr and in a matter of a few hours got THOUSANDS of notes with people saying that they loved them, most people even believing they were real advertisements and not something a 21 year old student made for class.
The only reservation I had was that my portfolio was being judged by two older men. Two men who have never worn makeup in their lives. Two men who would probably not even begin to understand what this campaign means. Two men who have never been under societal pressures to wear makeup, but then being told they’re insecure for doing so.
Those reservations might have been founded, as evidenced by the fact that I did not get in. I was rejected. I got over 5,500 notes on these ads in 24 hours, yet I was rejected for not being good enough. I can’t finish the program, and I have to figure out where to go from here.
Now to the good stuff: Tumblr is amazing. Everyone who has reblogged this, whether your comments were negative or positive, is amazing. I find it truly astounding that these have gotten so much attention. These, which are advertisements selling you something, something people inherently dislike. I am humbled, shocked, and grateful. This is the first time since I’ve been in advertising that I felt like I was doing something right… that maybe, just maybe, I could make it in this industry and make a positive change.
Those dreams were squashed today. I cried, and I complained. I’m angry — but not at myself like I thought I would be. I feel they made a mistake. I refuse to believe that I’m in the bottom 50% of the people who applied. I deserve to be in that program, and I know it. Thousands of people can’t be wrong that this is a good idea. An idea that MEANS something, and idea that resonates with many people. 2 older, conventional men can absolutely be wrong when it comes to judging what makes a good makeup ad.
Here’s where you come in. Let’s make them regret their decision. Reblog this, like it, comment on it, whatever. Let’s get this attention… so much attention that they can’t ignore it. While the decisions are most likely final, I want to make them think twice. I want them to look back, and believe that they fucked up. If it doesn’t even benefit me personally, I want them to think about how fair a panel of 2 male judges is when it comes to evaluating work done by women, for an audience that consists of predominantly people who identify as women.
So let’s do this. They fucked up; I deserved to be accepted. I know it, and I have a feeling you guys know it too.
So I was trying to find a post like this yesterday because people have been debating if this is a good ad or not and I was like “wait… isn’t this a school project?” so it’s good to see yes I was right and also disheartening to see that the person that made this really cool design didn’t go very far with it. This could be a great campaign and it should be.
I was getting better photos of my hair for VF, coz people seem interested haha and this is one of the ones I took. Doesn’t reeeeally show how I actually wear my hair, since BOTH sides are shaved and I don’t really do the whole ‘hair swept over to one side’ thing, but I also can’t get both sides of my head into one photo so, whatever haha
What started out as a journey to find answers ended in an opportunity to find so much more. Jessica Johnson began looking for her missing fiance but ended up picking up the pieces to an unseemly past and a romance dark enough for the whole town to fall into. As she, Dwight, and other characters begin to spiral into this mysterious tale, the only thing she could really be certain of is her life. Yet at times, even that was something she felt was taken for granted. In this dark tale no one is safe. No one knows everything. No one can be sure of the dangers lurking around each corner. No one is promised tomorrow, and no one can be the hero…
The Price:
$20.
Getting A Signed Copy:

You guys should check this out. I fully intend on buying this one day and last year I totally would have, but this year I don’t have as much money and all the art sales and discounts I’ve seen people doing are driving me nuts coz I need to save haha
What if pollen or whatever is actually a super addictive drug for them and one bee is in there like, “Come on in man, this shit is good!”
And the other bee is hovering about like, “Nah Dave, you said you’d never do this shit again!”
And the entire hive is addicted.
And honey is made from bee drugs.
I don’t know, don’t even ask.
Is it weird that I have previously had a conversation about this possibility?
Not at all haha
This is irrelevant to pollen, but relevant to bees. Bees will drink cider, to get drunk, and some are alcoholic. Well, at least according to Ricky Gervais :P
So the VF moron spent two or three days continuously commenting on how I’m a fake bitch, and now that there’s proof it’s not a fake profile I get “whatever I have better things to do with my time”
Haha nice XD. But yeah its weirding me out.. maybe you’re right and I don’t exist… Also, when I’m on here, like on my own blog, the dashboard part is gone instead So it has a big gap, then Morgan’s Peep Show… then the buttons. WEIRD
