Guest Post: Summer 2013

Summer 2013 is approaching very quickly. With this in mind I thought I would tell all you lovely viewers and readers what I will be up to this Summer.

Traditionally, I would normally go on holiday somewhere nice with my family. However, last year I went on my first 'mates holiday'. Now before you all scream 'MAGALUF' or 'KAVOS' at me I did not visit either of those places but instead visited Paphos on the island of Cyprus. 

I first went to Paphos last year on my first 'mates holiday' and I have to say it was probably the best holiday I have ever been on. I would compare it to Kavos and Magaluf but at the same time  I would also compare it to Portugal because during the day it is very calm and relaxing. However, as soon as the sun goes down it's all systems go and you find yourself on Bar Street partying the night away.

All of the Club Reps out there are exstremely nice, that might be because they want you to spend more money, and they want to get to know you and your background. All of the Reps are from England, mostly from London, Nottingham and Leeds so you're bound to click with them instantly. I'm planning on doing a season out there this year, or next, so I'll do a post about that either on here, with the permission of Sophie, or on my own blog. Below I'm going to give you my views on certain places and recommend you a few places to visit if you ever decide to visit sunny Cyprus.

The Place

Cyprus is an island near to Turkey and Iraq. From East Midlands Airport it is about a four and a half hour journey, by plane. Paphos is about a twenty minute drive from the airport. Paphos is only a small town however it has a lot to offer from sandy beaches to an amazing nightlife.

The Climate

Cyprus, in season, is very hot. Temperatures can reach upto forty degrees so if you hate to be 'too warm' then Paphos is not the place. Personally, I love the hot climate so it is perfect for people like me.

Accommodation 

There are plenty of places to stay in Paphos. From hotels to apartments to rent. I'm lucky enough to have a friend that has an apartment out there. From hotels on the beach front to apartments just out of town there is somewhere for everyone, on everyones budget.

'Bar Street'

Bar Street, ironically named, is the place to go for an amazing night out. Avoided by the locals Bar Street was set up with the tourists in mind and delivers on every level. Obviously, due to the current economic some clubs and bars have had to close (one also burned down last summer). However, there are still a number of clubs and bars to keep you entertained. From Linekers, Bubbles and Boogies to Splash, Rainbow and Flairs (featured on Sun, Sex & Suspicious Parents) you will never have a dull night. The majority of the clubs offer two for one on drinks plus a free shot and fish bowl. Which if you ask me is CHEAP. Drinks are generally in the four pounds region however, you could easily have an amazing night out for about thirty euros. The majority of the clubs do not charge you to get in however, you do have to be in the club before a certain time. One thing I would say is that alcoholic drinks are more expensive than soft drinks .. is that saying something? but it is something to bear in mind.

Conclusion

In Conclusion, Paphos is an amazing place for all ages and I would recommend that everyone visit. With cheap flights and competitively priced hotels you're sure to have the time of your life. Also, if you do go visit Aphrodite Water Park just outside Paphos for an amazing day out. (Some pictures will be posted at the bottom of this post)

I'll hopefully be back soon with another.

Above is the Linekers Booze Cruise. This runs every day from Paphos Harbour and is an 'eventful' day out if your up for it.

Cyprus' sandy beaches. Amazing during the day. The beach bars all play chart music (with some remixes thrown in for good measure) so no need to take your iPod.

Finally, the famous Paphos Strip. Appropriately named 'Bar Street'. Go on, loose your Bar Street Virginity because once you've been you will want to return again and again.

Today's post is about a Youtuber who deserves more views and subscribers. His name is Charlie Short AKA PinkStylist. He has amazing skill and his special effects make up is out of this world! He always puts so much effort and time into every look he does, he also explains each step so you can understand what to do and where to put each part of the make up.

My favourite look of his is David Bowie as the Goblin King from the film Labyrinth. I was searching for ages for a tutorial until I came across the one from charlie.

I'm so happy I did because I found loads of amazing looks to try!. Every request he gets he always tries to get them done as quickly as possible but he always makes sure the finished look is professional but achievable.

80's Fashion With @omgbrads!

You're really lucky if you were born in the 80's Bradley and I are both 90's kids. We both feel like we were born in the wrong decade! There was so much more going on especially the fashion everyone had a unique style but some how everyone fitted in. Fashion was so diverse and everyone had fun with it! Some of the categories people fell into included: The Mods, Rockers and Punks.

Some of the 80's fashion are slowly to come back round and I am seeing shops, especially high street shops slowly bring back the style, which for me, is amazing.

                                                      Mods and Rockers

When you think of mods and rockers,You think of the 1960s but they was a revival in the 80's which was of course influenced by the 60's!.Think The Jam,sharp suits,always smartly dressed.A very clean cut look but with a wild side personalty to show how things were done!

               
                                           

Punks
When you think of punks you think of leather/jackets,big Mohawks and big black leather boots!,think Vyvyan from the show the young ones.He was a punk loads of Metal piercings,Slogan T-Shirts into heavy punk metal music!




Skinheads

'This Is England' is a great way to see 80's skinheads fashion from a male and a female points of view both male and female had there head shaved one way or another,females often had a small bit shaved with hair left,Men had there whole head shaved.They wore Bradley's favourite doc martens!,with jeans tucked into them then  a smart shirt with braces.



Who could do a blog post about 80's fashion without talking about David Bowie, Boy George and Adam Ant. Their fashion was amazing. So much colour and texture. They chose to express themselves not just by their music but with what they wore. Mostly wore woman's clothing, I have to admit! With the only exception out of the three being Adam Ant who just wore make up. What I love about that era was how people embraced everyone for who they were and how people grew to love everyone.

Q&A: Titanic

                                   

                                                   

   Today's post is going to be on the famous film 'Titanic' which I am sure many of you have seen over the years! It is a truly iconic film. You will laugh, cry and feel a number of mixed emotions throughout however, the film is really worth watching time after time.

Below are a number of questions I have come up with and I am going to answer them for my viewers today. If you would like to do this post on your blog using the same questions then you are more than welcome!

1) How old were you when you first saw Titanic?

I must have been either ten or eleven. My mum loves this film and when she showed it to me it was like a instant love just the story of how two people can come together even though one is rich and has everything they want and then one is someone who has struggled all they lives to making a living and to be happy.

2) Who is your favourite character and why?

Molly Brown is my favourite character she was a mother figure to jack she wasnt horrible to him just because he was 3rd class and she embraced that, Help him through all the hard times lending him clothes to fit in and made him feel accepted.


3) Who is your least favourite character and why?

I actually have two. My first is Joseph Bruce Ismay. He is a bully and a huge coward sneaking onto a life boat which could have saved more lifes but no he left them to die and they breaks my heart and makes me so angry! My second is Cal he did not derseve to be with Rose, all he cared about was money and himself!


4) What scenes in Titanic make you the most emotional?

there are quite a few scenes that make me emotional especialy the scene where there looking for bodys and there is a mum and a babies body they just makes my stomach drop that baby will never get the chance to live! another scene is when jack and rose promise to never to let go but its to late he has already passed away she has to let go to save herself but she knows she will never forget him!
also when jacks freinds die Tommy and Fabrizio its heartbreaking another scene in titanic that makes me emotional is just before the boat starts to flood a woman is tucking her chrildren in bed promise that everything is going to be alright but its to late they cant get off the boat!


5) Are there any deleted scenes you wish had not been cut from the movie?

I havent seen any deleted scenes so I can not answer this question! However, I can imagine that there are many deleted scenes!


6) What is your favourite song from the soundtrack?

If you ask anyone who has seen the film it will be My Heart Will Go On the most famous song in movie history!

7) If you were a passenger on Titanic, which class would you be in?

I would be happy in 2/3rd class money is not important to me aslong as I could saved someone's life I would not care if I lived or died as long as people remembered me saving someone!

8) Who is your Jack/Rose?

I class my family and friends as my Jacks and Roses cause they are the huge part of my life!
