4 new friends in 24 hours

I’ve had the loveliest day today, got up early to watch the sunrise on the roof, bladdy gorgeous it was, n then I headed to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens…

On my way there I got on the wrong train n had to do a bit of a detour, so there I am, sat on this train, in a world of my own, n this guy comes over, massive camera round his neck… ‘He’s gonna ask to take a photo of my tattoo’s’ I thought to myself, semi afraid, the shorts jumpsuit get’s all these photo types excited cos I look so damn good in it haaaaaaaa. So first off – ‘are u a model?’ pahahahahaha! He was good, he obviously thought he could charm me this way… ‘no, definitely not’ I replied… ‘oh my god ur english’ came next… Turns out he’s a photography lecturer n he wanted to invite me to a cemetery where he and some of his pupils were gonna be shooting next week, he said he would pay for my time n that it would only take 2/3 hours n then he would happily be my tour guide for the day…I thought he was havin me on but sure enough he produced his card n i’ve checked his website n it all adds up… He also said that he would love to photograph me in his studio cos he thought I was, wait for it, ‘incredibly stunning’ I was blushing like a weirdo by this point n told him that I was very flattered but had no modelling experience and wasn’t too sure I had anything suitable to wear… ‘I will pay you of course’ was next, hmmmmmm I was thinking of how I could spend the money n just thought why not so I agreed n we swapped details… Slag dun got spotted on the subway ahahahahahahaha.

So next I met a girl at the botanical gardens who wants to interview me for a documentary she’s making about tattoos, she’s Italian and fiercely cool, so obv I agreed to that aswell…

I don’t know whether it’s the sunshine, my jumpsuit or my new jordans but I was on fire today, mans all over the place wantin a piece… I decided to go eat some Mexican food n sit read my book for a bit… Whilst doing this a boy came over n said his ‘homeboy’ wanted to talk to me… ‘I’m about to eat my dinner’ I replied – ‘oh my…’ ‘yes i’m english, tell him to come over if he really wants to talk to me’… Over comes Peter, he’s cute enough, not my type but very sweet n well presented… ‘I think i’ve fallen in love with you, straight up, let’s get married boo’… I was feelin cheeky so I said that marriage was out of the question as I was promised to somebody else but we could be friends n he could show me where the good parties were at he seemed pretty happy with that so we swapped numbers n he’s been on my case ever since… He wanted to take me to a ‘sickass party up town to shake some grinds n pop some bottles’ I was actually going to go but I decided against it cos I don’t want him thinkin i’m a hussy or anythin, I suggested he take me on a tour of Brooklyn tomorrow instead so there we have it, another new friend!!!!!

Then I took this photo, which is one of my favourites so far, I had to put my hand in through some fencing n very nearly dropped my camera, but yeh, worth it…

So that’s 3 new friends… n then on my walk home I stopped by the local deli to get some reeses n made ANOTHER friend, he insisted that I let him take me for a drink, right there n then… He’s called Tyrone, probably a crackhead, but one who actually lives somewhere, he’s about 4ft 10, gold teeth, leather trousers n matching leather cap, solid handshake… I said that I would see him around as this was my local deli, he promised that he would wait there til i came back, whether it was later, tomorrow or even next week, the charm was overwhelming so I agreed n tootled off, I nearly skipped….
