17th January 2010 - the dressing table of a geek...and a sneaky self portrait

OK – I thought hard about this one!!!!! On a roll after my geeky book cases yesterday and knowing, as I do, that people seem to be fascinated at a peep into someone else’s life. Oh come on…..you know you love it. Like me, you love to be on a train at night or the top deck of a bus and getting a look into someone’s back windows as they prepare their meal or watch the telly or whatever. I don’t mean like a peeping Tom, I just mean a mild curiosity about décor or other folks’ lives.

Following the clamour of people wanting to share their own handbags/manbags/wallets with me after I did mine yonks ago, I KNOW this to be true. Anyway, given all of the above and given yesterday’s shot, I thought it’d be apposite (dictionary.com’s word of the day) to make a mini-series out of these crappy photos of my office-come-dressing-room, especially as I have also been working today, Sunday, in my renewed seven-days–a-week working regime.

So, here is my dressing table. In the mirror’s reflection you can get a squint at my college books atop of my computer workstation. You can also get a little squint of me in the first SP I’ve done in a year or so.

My dressing table contains (strangely as I rarely use either of them) two hairbrushes, some hairgel, a couple of bottles of nail varnish and some remover, a pot of khol, assorted make up, an eyeliner pencil sharpener, some hairspray, hair clips and make-up brushes in a broken glass, a couple of boxes of junk jewellery and some general tat. My hairdryer is on the bookcase and I have an aerial view of my beloved White Hart Lane on the wall, along with some Ikea daisies, which I love. Those daisies cost something stupidly small like about £4 each and are so wonderful that I’d love to fill the house with them. You put them on and they’re just so jolly that they make me smile every time. Not only that but they use 5w lightbulbs!

It is so nice to see a smiley you in your mirror.
