Studded shoulders, Jeffrey Campbells and a Summery dress, quitting my job and Chloe Green's shoes
Jacket: eBay and DIY
Dress: Topshop , Fishnets: Primark , Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell , Necklace: Marc Jacobs
So this week has been really weird...I went for a catch up lunch with my friend Emily and ended up going to Brighton for a couple of days which was amazing! BUT I had to quit my job as a shot girl which was ridiculously stressful. If you don't know of what being a shot girl consists of here's a run down:
- Most shifts took place in crappy West End clubs, where I was required to wear 'thick foundation' and 'fake eyelashes at all times' along with a 'sexy, short, tight dress and heels'.
- I then had to pay up to £110 per bottle of alcohol up front (before selling anything) and provide my own mixers (red bull or lime cordial).
- Then I had to MAJORLY under-pour alcohol ( to even earn any money, I had to use 1/3 of alcohol that would normally be used by the bar) to drunk cretins who have no respect for my personal space.
- I'd sell shots for six hours at prices that were £2 cheaper than the bar but nobody bloody wants to buy them.
- Then I'd get to the end of the night, if I hadn't sold the '2 bottle minimum' (which is extremely hard with five other girls trying to do the same thing) I have to pay £220 and often leave with nothing.
The amount of money I made rendered the job something more like the worlds shittest hobby (if your hobby is being groped by disgusting city boys and bitched at by chavvy girls). I did have a few really good nights but I think the things I had to put up with took the shine off a bit. My manager/pimp didn't really care about me, so I finally just said you know what...shove the job I'm worth more than that.
Rant over.
So this week saw the launch of Chloe Green's shoe range for Topshop.
But on the upside, things may be looking up for me where the fashion world is concerned, I think I may be getting more styling work (watch this space) and I'm free to pursue a part time job (hopefully in shop I like) that doesn't involve debasing myself for money :)
The glass is half full.

I really like your hair.
ReplyDeleteWhat foundation is that? It looks really glowy.
The pale green sole is enough to put me off tbh. I bet a lot of them are ending up in the sale :(
I use L'oreal true match :) It's pretty good but not as good as Mac studio fix really. Yeah I can see that one coming haha !
