Another trip to the NEC in Birmingham today, our third this year. Firstly the photography trade show in March, April saw us going to the Gadget Show and now we went to see the Beauty Show; a trade show about beauty and make-up.
There wasn't really anything of interest to me there, so I kept my eyes open for any interesting photo opportunities. Whilst I was walking up and down the aisles, I noticed a load of women queueing up for something. So I had to go and have a look, as I didn't think it was for the toilets!
They appeared to be waiting to meet and have their photo taken with this woman who I didn't recognise at all. I thought I would take her photo anyway, as she is obviously well known to some people and so I would just have to find out who she was.
I met up with Gail who was talking to one of the sellers and I showed her the photo, as I thought she might say that she is a well known make-up artist or something. She didn't know either. The guy who Gail was talking to had a look and thought that she might be off a TV series called The Only Way Is Essex. A drama serial about this group of friends who live in the south east.
I've never watched it myself, other than small clips and it didn't look very exciting; just these people sitting and chatting about their friends, love lives and how much money they are earning. It seemed a bit inane to me. Just a schedule filler I think. Just like Big Brother, ... Get Me Out of Here and the other shows that are cheap to make.
Apparently she is called Lauren Goodger and has just started selling her own range of fake tan products called Lauren's Way. It seems that every person off the TV has to have some money making sideline, whether it's writing novels, designing clothing or cooking food.
Seems like stars of the past had missed out, as we could have had John Noakes & Shep's dog food, Jimmy Hill designer footballs and Tom Baker scarves.
So - we can expect to see you looking Orange soon then.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who she is either. but it's a pity there aren't Tom Baker scarves. much nicer than fake tan.I like the photo, the edge of the person in the foreground is good, as you can tell Lauren wotsit is talking to someone, much better than the more usual full face photo I think.
ReplyDeleteI was channel hopping late last night whilst waiting for a cake to finish cooking & came across TOWIE. I forced myself to watch 5 minutes of it - what a load of rubbish. I'm prooably not the age group it's aimed at, thank goodness. Everyone was smothered in make up & fake tan, & had silly voices - not at all naturel. I doubt any of them could get an Equity card from these performances.
ReplyDeleteFull of orange slave lol..
