Where do I start? It has been a blur of parties, preparation, work and madness!
I was booked for a couple of appearances at events and also to host a few parties so it's fair to say I have had little sleep. Last week at Vendome was crazy; I'm quite ashamed to say I got rather tipsy; after 2 bottles of Grey Goose and a bottle of Champs the club refused to send any more drinks to my table! I was horrified! But ever so grateful the next morning when I realized what more alcohol would have done to me. TQ came down, Kano came down and performed, Bashy showed his face. Monday nights really are getting packed in there; it's madness.
To be honest the whole raving scene isn't my favourite thing, but I'm getting paid to party so can hardly complain. But it is hard work! I'm serious! Especially when you're ill but have to soldier through. I've had tonsillitis for the past 2 weeks! lol but haven't had a chance to rest it off. And I refuse to take all those government drugs; that crap that masks the pain but doesn't naturally solve the problem, so I was just dealing with it. It was only 2 days ago, when I left my friends house, that I left with a bottle of Benilyn that he put in a plastic bag for me. He said the stuff would knock me out! I believed him cos he's always drowsy on some kinda rubbish like that. Usually I lecture him for overdosing on all his medicinal substances (he has a whole windowsill full of drugs) but I was feeling so rubbishy and it was late and I wanted to just knock out as soon as my head hit the pillow. So I took one or two teaspoons.... Damn....the next day I was like a zombie! I felt soooo tired; not sure if it's worth it! The same friend offered to drop me round soup and dvd's but I said no thank you. I felt bad as he has a bad shoulder and should be resting himself! Not driving around playing Superman!
On Sunday I went to the Summer Ball!! It was so much fun! And at my favourite stadium ;) (Emirates) Over 55,000 people came to watch artists such as Leona Lewis, Dizzee Rascal, Alesha Dixon, Ciara, Akon, Shontelle, Sway, JLS, Lionel Richie, Calvin Harris, The Noisettes, Mark Ronson and many more. I was on the vip balcony with all the artists, though the only one I was excited about seeing was Ciara; she's hot. Is it bad that one of the highlights for me was the food? I love my food and the food was great, lol. Oh apart from the chicken. A little seasoning would have been welcoming.....
As usual Leona brought a tear to my eye with her rich silky tones, and Alesha impressed me with her stage performance; I'm not a huge fan of her but she has my respect; she's good at what she does and she owned that stage! And I don't even need to mention the Noisettes; love their style!
As usual Akon had to receive the biggest welcome and threw himself into the crowd as he always does. Lol. He's mad. His dad found it hilarious when he was being thrown up and down by the audience. His father is a lovely man; I spent a bit of time with him as it was the first time I'd met him.
Another highlight; walking into the celebrity gift lounge. I decided to walk in alone knowing that if I walked in with Akon they would only give me stuff cos I was with him, or they would ignore me and concentrate on him! So I thought let me walk in and see what the deal is...... So I walk past the first table counting 5....4.....3....2.. "Hi there Portia" YES Thank Goodness! Lol. If I didn't get stopped I woulda been pissed. The people are explaining their product to me, this product, that product, dropping a load of stuff into bags for me and I'm thinking there are some homeless broke starving people out there that would really appreciate this rubbish. These rich celebrities do not need all this stuff yet they get it on a daily basis! Don't get me wrong, I know it's free promo for the brands but it still feels a little wrong. Anyway after signing several guest books thanking them for the goods I spotted Sony giving away the brand new mobile phones. So I walked past slowly.....did anyone stop me? NO! And I'm proud; there was no way I was stopping unless I was stopped lol. So I kept it moving. I was asked my sizes for various shoes and clothing and I am getting sent some goods. And I can't wait for my pink Aviators. I tried on the brown ones but the pink ones looked hot in the pic so they said they would send me some. Cheers. Oh and I also got a load of Mac goodies ;)
But again, the highlight for me was the food
Did I mention that I am off to the Bahamas next month? No? Well, I am off to the Bahamas next month. You know now ;)
Can't wait!!
Writing this is taking longer than expected because I keep flippin coughing!
I haven't been working out...............what???? I haven't had the time plus I've been ill; I wouldn't be able to breathe if I jumped on a treadmill right now!!
My mum and sisters came down to a London a couple of times; the minute they leave I miss them immediately. My sisters bring me joy.... they are my precious little princesses! With attitude! lol. Maya has an obsession with photography right now; she's only 5 but so clever and has an eye for detail. She really is something else. The other day we went down to my girls allotment to help her water her little cabbages and brocolli lol and my sister kept grabbing my blackberry so she could take pics of flowers. And she's such a flippin perfectionist it takes about 5 minutes to take each shot. Aww I love her. I'm gonna invest in a really good professional camera for her when she's older. She's only 5, maybe it's a bit soon lol. Though I'm sure she'd actually master it; she's that intelligent.
I am actually looking for a new manager. I'm tired of trying to juggle everything alone; it's hard to get certain things moving when your time is divided multiple ways. I had to drop old management because they didn't share the same vision as me. And if I don't mentally click with someone it's not going to work. So next week I will be setting up some meetings, etc as this week I haven't got the time.
I wanna go and make a hot drink; maybe with a little pick me up in it ;)
Thank you to all those who voted for Charity Skin Deep and hit me up on FaceBook; appreciated
