In this episode, Leechy runs into salt circles, magazines, and kittens

I've got a little something to show you

These are from the Supernatural shoot I did with Sabrina, and as you can see, there's not a lot of denim or plaid going on. You can see all the shots in the magazine (link below) or check out Sabrina's photoblog.

However, we had salt circles, a (somewhat sparkly) gun, my supernatural monster guide book, and a lighter (for those bones burning times).
I also tried to put in small hints, like skull bracelets, crosses, and a kinda badass attitude. Like Sabrina said; rather than basing the outfit off of one of the characters which we both thought about for a while, I decided to translate the whole "Hunter" concept to Lolita.
Not sure how well I did (this was my first shoot planning, and I was a Plan Pony mess XD ) but it was fun, albeit a bit cold.

Stine also did an appearance as Sammifer (Lucifer possesing Sam). And I'm still impressed that she managed in the cold (we were in a half torn down building, with snow all around and the wind blowing in) with only a thin white suit.

The 7th issue of Starlight is up and ready for browsing.

READ STARLIGHT MAGAZINE #7

This was the hardest issue yet, and even though I like how it turned out, especially the theme, and the work itself, I'm just getting a bit tired of it all.
Things are turned in late, I get done late, mostly (but not always) because of unforeseen obstacles, like wrong document formats, and misspellings (it's not my job to proof read, but I refuse to put up messy spelling, if I see it) This was also the second time, that I did the editors note, even though I'm not the editor (and I still don't get the credit for it).

I don't know... it's just a bit tiresome, when you start to get that nagging feeling, that you might be putting more effort into the work than some others ( I know that's not reeeeeally the case, but it feels like it, when you're stressing with so much work ).
The magazine takes up SO much of my waking hours. Not necessarily a bad thing, as I like the magazine itself. I brainstorm ideas for shoots and things for Starlight, almost every day at work with Sab. I spend days on shoots and preparing for them, and I generally spend about a week or so on the layout itself.
Add a 37 hour work week, plenty of friends and a family, and you don't really have a lot of time for all the other hobbies. I'm single atm, but were I not, there would be not enough hours in the day.
This is a lot of whining, but I needed to get it out. I realize that it's not really fair to expect so much of the Starlight crew, since this is completely on a voluntary basis, and everyone has a life, school, etc. to focus on. Sometimes you just get frustrated, even if it is illogical.
Also, the magazine is in danish, meaning we have a very small focus group ( dude, a third of the danish comunity works on the damn magazine XD Which is great, as far as the amount of contributors is concerned ), and that results in a somewhat small payoff when it comes to feedback/comments.

Ok, enough about that. I've written a long list of things I'd like to change in the work process, and I'm giving it another go, so I'm gonna think positive and hope it all works out. I'm a stubborn bitch, so I won't give up just yet. Besides, despite my issues with things, the girls are great and sweet ( if a bit late at times) and I love seeing what they've made/written. It's also fun to do layout, when I have enough time and enough visual material :3


My final thing for you today is a picture of the newest member of my family, a kitten we call Lillemivs (little kittens, I think is the best translation). Sabrina took the photo when she came down to Solrød for a visit (I was taking care of the pets, since my parents were in Sweden).

Lookit her tiny rabbit'y feet!!! *melts into a puddle*

~Be good~
