Book Review: 50 Shades Of Grey By: EL James

( Please excuse spelling quickly writing at work)

First of all ill keep this post clean and not turn it into a spoiler for those of you who want to read it. For those of you who blush at the books content or are going I cant believe youd read that ill say this " I'm a grown ass woman I can read what I want!" So anyway Im on page 457 almost done with book one on day 4 and am in love! Its a highly entertaining piece that crosses tons of boundries and i can only hope for more from the other books. That being said Ive noticed many similarities with Twilight. Not that thats a bad thing because I enjoy the Twilight books. It just kept picking at me that alot sounded the same. Rich guy and normal girl. Girls mom is divorced and remarried living in hot state, Georga, while Ana and her dad live in Washington. And a few other things. So i did my research on wikkapedia and came up with this:

Background The "Fifty Shades" trilogy was developed from a"Twilight"  fan fiction  originally titled "Master of the Universe" and published episodically on fan-fiction websites under the pen name "Snowqueens Icedragon". The piece featured characters named after Stephenie Meyer 's characters in "Twilight",Edward Cullen  and Bella Swan . After comments concerning the sexual nature of the material, James removed the story from the fan-fiction websites and published it on her own website, FiftyShades.com. Later she rewrote "Master of the Universe" as an original piece, with the principal characters renamed Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele and removed it from her website prior to publication.[6]  Meyer commented on the series, saying "that's really not my genre, not my thing ... Good on her—she's doing well. That's great!"[7] This reworked and extended version of "Master of the Universe" was split into three parts. The first, titled "Fifty Shades of Grey", was released as an e-book and a print-on-demand  paperback in May 2011 by The Writers' Coffee Shop, a virtual publisher based in Australia. The second volume,"Fifty Shades Darker", was released in September 2011; and, the third, "Fifty Shades Freed", followed in January 2012. The Writers' Coffee Shop had a restricted marketing budget and relied largely on book blogs for early publicity, but sales of the novel were boosted by word-of-mouth recommendation.

With that being said .....ROCK ON for EL James! Truthfully as much as i love Twilight the books are written alot like a teenagers fan fiction. 50 shades of grey is in my opinion is very well written and better than twilight. Probably bc the main charicters dont waye to have sex until the ladt book chapter ten! Im really excited to see what happens to Ana and Christian in the next two books . Haley

Not quitting, not giving up, but I need a break

So a lot of things have happened since I last posted. I had a family emergency to tend to and then my financial situation has changed and I have come to terms that I just need to take a break and get myself financially stable before I go any further. However I am still going to practice my skills and continue teaching Sean how to do beauty makeup. It's quite amusing.
Mud also allows me to go in and practice with models and use the photo room on top of doing photo shoot days. I'll continue to keep you posted but I need to work on making me happy. Now I'm not saying Money is the root of happiness but you seriously stop stressing when you have a decent amount of it.

I Dissapeard Again

But Im back! Ive been crazy busy! I went home for a week for my little sisters wedding, yes i did the makeup. I also got to hang with the family and my awesome nephew. And the best part was fishin with my PaPa! On the flight back i met this guy who is doing the same thing i was almost a year ago..... Moving out here for film. He was talking to a lady about what he was doing and i couldnt resist. Because if ive learned anything out here its you need a network. And on top of all my other bussyness im moving! Back to where i started only im moving in with the Boyfriend! so excited i just hate packing. And along with my blog i will post a couple of pics from when i was making rotting flesh.

After Birth-Day!

Hey guys I disappeared again. Lots have happened. I finished that mask I was working on! It looks great!
I had my birthday, I'm officially 23!
It was so much fun! Sean woke me up with a ginormous cup cake! Later we met up with The Lovely Rose and went to see Dark Shadows. And then after we had a bbq! And if i haven't raved enough about Seans cooking skills I'm going to. He had like 5 kinds of marinate, steak , shrimp, chicken, burgers, hot dogs, strawberry and banana short cake w homemade syrup. We were stuffed and then he surprised me with a hello kitty cake! Seriously, Sean is the best!
Yesterday I did a face painting gig which was so much fun! Lots of butterflies and spiderman. The party also had a Rapunzle and a Little Mermaid! These girls rocked!  And were so nice. And tomorrow back to the lab!

Power and Tools!

Today at the lab was so much fun! I got to see Billy again, he brought by the power washer so I could clean the side of the building. They spray painted some graffiti for the film they were shooting. However the power washer just peeled off the regular paint. And while I was inside looking for a paint roller to repaint the side of the building , some maintenance guys showed up and painted the wall. I guess they thought people were tagging our wall. Either way I got to use the power washer and soaked my pants.
After that I used the drimmel tool to fix a seam on a latex head. Followed by two layers of pax paint. Tomorrow Dean is gonna show me how to paint it. I'm excited. I'll posts pic of the paxed and before pax.
But that's pretty much it for today, I'll be there all day tomorrow.
Love Haley JoAnna

Cop out part 2: on set and staying busy

( this is a catch up)

The shoot went great! I built 3 rooms that looked amazing and was in control of the fog machine all day. Meaning my sinuses were crap. It was worth it though. However let's rewind to the third at about 9:30 pm. Sean and I were getting ready to go see the Avengers, which was awesome. Sean was dressed as captain America and i was normal me. It was so much fun. There was another group in costume which was cool. But any way the movie was from 12am to 2:35am and by the time we got back it was 3. I had to leave to be on set at 6 am so I could be there by 8. Total of 2.5 hours to sleep. Then I was on set till about 9:30 closer to 10pm. Can you say exhaustion. I also need to get some better shoes bc my feet hurt so bad that day.
But all is well out here! Sean and I are.making plans for my birthday Friday! Any way that's catching you up!

Cop out part 1 : What's my job again?

(the blog I wrote for the third)

So yesterday I was partner up with Billy Jett to do production design for today. Last night my home work was to find cop and crime scene photos that are to be used for Deans film. After an hour or so i had to quit , like I've said before I have a weak stomach. I would have been done sooner but I didnt want to use famous crime scenes like Dalmer or Buddy. You guys should have seen the look the girl at staples gave us when we went to print them out!
So from there we went to Linda Vista Hospital, which is used for filming and very haunted. And where do they start me to work ? The basement! The creepy, dark, basement! With long halls, fake blood everywhere, It's like Silent Hill! I was just waiting for something to rip my skin off. But the point of the basement was to build and repaint an interrogation room. Blood was all over there too hence the painting. And a kick ass table! Tyrone and i had it done within an hour.
From there my task was to set up the chapel for a funeral scene. I love that I'm trusted enough to set up a whole scene. Tomorrow were adding the casket. And from there I framed cop photos and "certificates" so the cops office looked like an office. It looked amazing! I can't wait to see this film and point out 20 different things I worked on.
The other cool part is that was all done before 2! I had to work at four, but I'll be there all day tomorrow. I just have to take a massive bus trip to get there. It will be worth it though. And I'm pretty sure Billy wants me out of makeup and in production design. Who knows maybe I'll be a Jack of All Trades.
And tonight the Avengers!
