If you don't know what to do from all the craziness
Lily spends her days as a model, rushing from shoot to show and on to yet another casting. On Amayzine, she tells you all about what her life is really like. Under a different name, of course, but that means she can share all the juicy details. This week:
No more interest in yoga, baked six banana breads, and meanwhile seen every internet weirdo three times. I can now perfectly imitate ‘Kukeleku signature madam’ and I’m just walking in circles. So it was time to get a bit more creative and come up with new quarantine activities.
Initially, my roommate and I thought it would be fun to bleach my hair. Normally, I can't just do that because I would suddenly be a complete catfish for clients who have looked at my portfolio. So this seemed like the perfect moment to dip my head in a bucket of bleach. After some online research and fail videos from the many who went before me, I spontaneously turned gray from stress. The hairdressers are of course closed, so that was also not an option. As a model, you naturally have a network of hairstylists that many beauty bloggers would envy, and so I doubted whether I would break the rules. My boyfriend is my advisor when it comes to breaking rules. But a short phone call later, I decided to keep the au naturel look after all. I was encouraged to bend the rules a bit, but the consequence would be that I would have to spend the rest of the quarantine single. Normally, that is of course the reason to do it, but during corona times, you better be frugal with your cuddles.
A safer choice seemed to be to test how a sleeve would look. So grab all the pens and go crazy on your arms. I started calmly with an anchor on my upper arm, then quickly followed with the heart with ‘MOM’ and the names of all the people I somewhat like. Soon my right arm (yes, I’m left-handed) was full of names, animals, the infinity sign, and ‘no regrets’. With Pinterest as my lighthouse in a storm, the inspiration kept flowing, and within an hour I went from class to edge.
To complete the look, I then opened big quarantine friend YouTube. The wonderful world of YouTube is full of DIY beauty routines and yoga lessons, but of course, you can also find out how to create the ideal goth look on your face. With charcoal on my eyes and lips, I was staring at myself in the mirror a little later. After all those years of modeling, I had never seen such a transformation. Maybe it would be a good addition to my portfolio, and I would appear at the first post-corona casting as edgy Lily.
I hope I have been able to inspire you enough to get through some boring days with nothing more than a pen and charcoal.
