Weird and Wonderful News Wednesday #4 Has Shia LaBeouf Created Art? RHCP Chad Smith & Will Ferrell Drum Battle? Anchorman Confuses Samuel L Jackson! Achy Breaky Heart TWO!

Good evening wonderful online community of fabulous people! This week I have been PLAGUED by the evil, destructive, horrific weather that persists. I of all people, lost my voice. And yes, it has been traumatic. I'd been feeling under the weather for about a week, when on Sunday IT STRUCK!!! I was suddenly faced with a "ChildSophie"...Only responding to cuddles and love, which I must mention, Nurse Harps did do an awesome job of responding to. And slowly but surely, I am on the mend. So apologies for the lack of enthusiasm recently. I'm sure I'll return to full health soon! Anywhoo, this leads me to my little collection of news over the last week. Which was also affected by my illness, as when I'm sick, all I want to read about is rich and famous people that I don't really care for. Here's my best shockers!

Is anyone a little concerned about the antics of Shia LaBeouf? I can't decide if the recent crazy activities are as he claimed originally 'art' or is this guy just having a bit of a breakdown?? Poor Shia, he hasn't had it easy recently. After admitting plaguerism at the end of 2013, he wasn't starting the New Year on the best foot, let's be honest. But have a little look at his recent 'art'. It includes a strange selection of objects (including a bowl full of angry Twitter messages) and Mr LaBeouf himself crying with a paper bag on his head...Let me know your thoughts? #IAMSORRY

BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH AWESOME! I LOVE THIS SO SO MUCH! Click on the link and watch the video!

Anchor Confuses Samuel L Jackson, and IT GOES ON FOREVER! This is so so so so so so cringe worthy that it makes me cringe remembering it...Have a watch! 


And last but most certainly not least. I've got to confess, I didn't watch the next clip past 36 seconds because it was just too weird...Too weird and I'm not ill enough for that kind of craziness anymore...Billy Ray Cyrus is back with a hip-hop version of Achy Breaky Heart 2! 

THAT'S RIGHT YA'LL HEARD CORRECT!

 Hahahaha! Enjoy and let me know what you think! Normal news will resume next week! 

Ta-ra!

Weird and Wonderful News Wednesday #3 The Impending Doom Of Jellyfish, A Unique Model, Steve Carell's High School Moustache & Some Beautiful Photography.

Good evening happy bloggers and readers! Today's post is a bit of a crowded one, so excuse me for keeping my comments short and sweet. Please if you have the time, have a good look at everything and feel free to chat about what you read. I hope this weeks Weird and Wonderful News will make you smile!

So firstly...Lets get this out of the way. Jellyfish are taking over the world. FACT. I've been aware of their impending doom on us all for about a year now. I think it mainly started from stumbling across articles that mention them shutting down factories, ruining eco systems and manifesting their wobbly selves in too many places for my liking. What's worse is that they are multiplying at an alarming rate....I'm on to you jellyfish! So other than Unicorn Farmer, I'm also considering a career in jellyfish battle plotting. Let me know if you're looking for a job! Haha. Here's a few different articles that will enlighten you in the dangerous world of the jellyfish. You have been warned.

Model Melanie Gaydos’s Fight for High Fashion Via Thedailybeast

"Born with a condition called ectodermal dysplasia, Melanie Gaydos refuses to let her unconventional looks stop her from realizing her dream of becoming a high-fashion model."




Now I'd like to make a point here, that it isn't actually her disability that I feel you should be focused on here. Her attitude in the art world and in life is just amazing and she takes just an amazing photo! Her versatility in the images I've seen is creative and full of the most brilliant confidence and I can't wait to see Melanie Gaydos storm the high fashion world! 

Six-year-old schoolboy suspended for having Mini Cheddars in his lunchbox has now been expelled..... Via independent.co.uk

This just infuriates me. A six year old boy was expelled from his primary school near Slough, Berks, because his parents didn't adhere to the schools strict "balanced diet" regulations. IT'S FUCKING MINI CHEDDERS! Please. Ludicrous. 

8 Stunning Portraits Capture Blindness In A Different Light  Via Huffingtonpost.com

These are two of my favourite images from the series titled 'Blind' by Julia Fullerton-Batten. She has a personal emotion towards capturing these images since her father-in-law's sight deteriorated every time she visited him. She was so overcome with his strength and bravery that she decided to capture the worlds of the blind in places that were personal to them. I find these images beautiful. Please do have a little browse.

Lastly, here's Steve Carell's AMAZING MOUSTACHE!

You're welcome.

Some Photoshoot Outtakes & My Weekend!

Hello lovely world. It's my day off today, and despite having plans fall through, I could go to sleep right now. I think the freakishly cold weather is finally getting to me..Feeling rather blocked and weak. So no face photos today; instead you all get a lovely view of my new tartan coat. I had to go and get tobacco. That has been the extent of my venturing today. Anyway, all this results in a rather quiet and grumpy Sophie. Probably best that I'm home alone. Haha. 

I've been having some problems with my email address, so a few months ago when I asked my good friend and awesome photographer, Tracey Warbey (See my post yesterday about her!), to send me some outtakes of our shoots together. I figured she'd forgotten. It wasn't until I saw her on Sunday and realised that infact, she HAD sent them to me...That I present to you some amusing photos of our adventures!

So on Sunday we went to Carlyon Bay beach. I haven't actually been there since I was a little girl; mainly because you can't walk doggys on there for most of the year. It was nice to go back. And I haven't been to the beach in ages. I don't want to spoil too much for when the images are published, but I had a very special guest with me in the photos, which made it all really fun. She was so pretty and professional for a young girl in freezing weather, that I really hope Tracey wants to use her again! I'll tell you all more about it with the pictures. But let me just say now, you'd all better be impressed by how hardcore I was in that bloody weather...(Probably why I'm ill now..)



I'm off to crawl under a blanket. See you tomorrow for 

Weird and Wonderful News Wednesday!

Artists and Photographers I'm Currently Loving..Philip Trengove, ATP Illustration, Charles Jeffrey, Tracey Warbey & Jennifer Davis.

Good day strangers on the web! This is a post that I've wanted to write for a couple of weeks; however as I keep mentioning...I still really struggle to organise myself. Something I wasn't first in the line for at the genes store apparently....Some of these people I know personally, some I actually have little projects in the pipeline with. Some are just inspirations that I've stumbled upon. There isn't much of a theme; but maybe that's something I'll have a think of doing?...I hope that you're all well, I've been a busy busy bee this weekend...All shall be revealed very soon! 

*All links take you directly to the artists work.

ATP Illustration

This is a guy I've been fascinated with since I stumbled across his work on Instagram. His detailing is amazing, and the themes are always awesome. Think tattooed women and nautical puns. Seeing his work makes me smile, not only because of his talent, but because he's just beginning really! How exciting is that! I know that he's currently studying at Portsmouth Uni, BUT is also being commissioned for some awesome up and coming clothing lines aswell. This guy is definitely my one to watch this year for illustrators.

Philip Trengove Photography

I'm lucky enough to have this amazing photographer in my life. Phil is a Southwest and London based photographer, who specializes in portraiture but also experiments outside of his comfort zone. This wouldn't be the first time you've heard me mention him, and it certainly won't be the last. His last series was awesome.(I was in it...that helps! Haha) He visited people in their homes and captured their emotions through either talking about their lives, hearing a song that brings back emotion, or simply waiting for their thoughts to deepen enough, that a glimpse inside could be captured. (I was his guinea pig. I listened to "Dear Bobby" By "Yellowcard"- It reminds me of Nanny and Grandpa.)
Now he's back with a bang. He's been doing a good few shoots and I love the manic, frantic look of his layered series. I'm really looking forward to shooting with him again at the end of the month, once he's back from fashion week. It also means that with biscuits and tea, I get to envy over his fucking awesome life and hear all his LFW gossip. *happy sigh*

          Charles Jeffrey

Ok confession time. I haven't looked as much at Charles Jeffrey's work as much as I should have...and as much as I am going to...However; isn't this beautiful? I have a bit if a love/hate relationship with jellyfish. I think they're beautiful, majestic, inspiring...BUT THEY ARE DESTINED TO DOOM US ALL! Now I know what you're thinking...Alright Sophie, calm down love. But it's actually true. In fact, on Weird and Wonderful News Wednesday, I am going to do a jellyfish doomsday special. So keep your eyes peeled! Until then, you can enjoy this. Hahaha.

Tracey Warbey Photography

You should all know my massive love of Tracey and her work. This evening I wanted to show you something of hers that isn't me reporting back on me. Haha. She took this self portrait when she was pregnant with her second cutie pie daughter, Ana. I just love the butterflies, don't you? And that bit of side boob. Stay tuned over the next few days to hear all about my recent adventures with her and a very very pretty young lady. *Shhh hush hush*

Jennifer Davis

Last but not least. It's official. I have a new obsession and here she is. Jennifer Davis's work just is the best selection of creativity, playfulness, artistic flair and pure talent that I feel I've seen in ages. I first stumbled across her work on Pinterest. She drew some cats with scarves on and they had cute, funny heads. But over the last week, I decided I wanted to explore her work in a bit more depth and really....EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! I really recommend that you take a gander on her site. 

Let me know what you think of my recent loves.

Have a wonderful evening!
