High Heels 101

Since I got some enquires about my fabulous footwear I thought I would part with more of my wonderful womanly wisdom and teach all of you how to walk in heels.
I am a bit of an expert on the subject so here is some tips from your auntie Grell~

• Start Small: Starting with high spike heels wont do you or your feet any favours, so start with a few inches and work your way up.
  
• Work You Hips: Walking in heels is automatically gives you a sexy strut, if you fight it your balance will get messed up. So go with it~!
  
• Practice Makes Perfect: Adjust to your shoes before taking them somewhere were there will be a lot of walking. Short trips around the house or to nearby shops will get you accustomed to your new babies before you're ready for a full length performance.
  
• Socks: Synthetic materials will rub and burn when you're wearing high heels so cotton socks are your friend as they cause less friction.
  
• Don't Wear Them All The Time: Even I have to wear flats sometimes and wearing heels all the time can cause health problems for you mortals. Also carrying a small pair of flat trainers or pumps in your handbag when your out can save you from beautiful, yet torturous shoes when you cant go home and change.
  

How to walk on ice in high heels?
The simple answer to this question is...don't, unless you're me. But since so many people have messaged me to ask me this question I'll tell you.

• Wear a heel which isn't too thin as you will be able to balance better.
  
• Wear shoes that have good grip.
• Practice.
  
• BE CAREFUL! You're not me, you can fall over and break your neck. Next winter if I have to reap any high heel, ice related accidental deaths I will bring you back just so I can kill you again myself for being stupid.
  

If I stated the obvious a little I apologise but some of my Grellettes asked so I delivered.

Oh and I got a few last minute messages from Ronnie this afternoon. Apparently me and William are hosting a party tomorrow night that we didn't know about. Well this should be interesting...

Shopping and a Bit of a Confession

I have to confess to something before Ronald Knox mentions it on his blog and then I will never hear the end of it. At the moment I am missing half an eyebrow. I told William and the other shinigami that Ronald did it to me when he was messing around but really I did it myself, by accident when I was reshaping my eyebrows. So now everyone knows that half of my left eyebrow has been drawn on for the last few days. Happy now Ronald????

Right so back to less irritating matters:


I dragged William shopping today! Well it wasn't really dragged it was more like I offered to buy him dinner if he accompanied me clothes shopping. (I got a shopping trip AND a date. I'm so clever!) I'm actually starting to wonder what I used to do without William. He makes a wonderful shopping bag carrier, he opens jars for me, he's handy for keeping me warm and he acts like a bodyguard. ...Even though he spent our dinner date lecturing the waitress and glaring at the small children seated near us.

Oh he even bought me a present! I now own a shirt with the word Uke print on it in rather large letters. Well...at least it will go with the "Property of William T Spears" underwear he bought me for Valentines day.

And before anyone asks here is a list of everything I bought while shopping
(Since my Grellettes like to know the tiny details of my life)

-A red floral dress.
-A vintage t-shirt saying "Love forever" on it.
-New fake eyelashes.
-New red nail polish
-New black trousers
-Red heart covered pajamas
-The Uke T-shirt (I didn't buy it but its on the list)

There you go~ that was my entire shopping list for the afternoon.

No One Puts Grelly in the Corner

I'm going to start this off with a bit of a rant because there is a few things I want to clear up with my fellow shinigami:

1) I DON'T whiten my teeth.

2) My teeth are REAL. They are not dentures Eric!

3) I DON'T have a tongue ring and asking me to stick my tongue out to prove it was unnecessary.

4) I'm NOT ginger! (not that there is anything wrong with being ginger. I just hate when people get my hair colour wrong)

Some of the rumors about me in this office are unbelievable! I guess I cant blame them for having fantasies about me and making up little stories.

Ok now those points are cleared up and off my chest, On with the blog!

Operation "Keep William" officially started today and I've discovered that begging and hugging his waist wont work and makes him make me sit in the corner of his office for most of the work day and confiscate my phone. Apparently if I'm going to act like a child he is going to punish me like one. So I shall have to come up with a plan B for tomorrow.

I got another request from HAPPYWISE asking about clothing and my wardrobe. So here's some random points about my wardrobe:

- I own four corsets. (One steel boned)

- I don't cross dress all the time. I wear jeans and shirts sometimes just like every other "guy".

-I have 12 dresses, which I wear on special occasions. I do own other items of women's fashion that I do occasionally wear outside of work.

- I own WAY too much lingerie.

- I've lost count of how many pairs of sunglasses I own.

- I have red legwarmers which other shinigami find hilarious but they keep my ankles warm so I don't care.

I just remembered that I have important work to do for tomorrow so I shall see you all later my Grellettes~

Buh Bye~

Hair and Make-up (A Requested Blog for HAPPYWISE)

I received a request from HAPPYWISE to write a blog about my hair and make-up. This is one of my favourite subjects so I couldn't resist the opportunity to fabulize you all into looking like yours truly~
(Also preventing possible make up disasters which drive me to murdering people)

So here is some make up tips from your auntie Grell~

1) Always invest in long lasting foundation. (Us shinigami run around a lot so as little make up touch ups as possible is always a good thing)

2) Conceal your dark circles. (When you wear glasses dark circles under your eyes are more noticeable.)

3) Tend to your eyebrows. (Another glasses wearing essential. Perfect eyebrows)

4) Buy an eyelash curler.

5) Expensive doesn't always make it better.

My Make Up List:

Concealer
Foundation
Face powder
Eyeliner
A light dusting of eyeshadow (it really helps if you know what goes with your eye colour)
Fake eyelashes/Mascara
Lip balm (Mine is strawberry flavoured for tasty kisses~)
Lipstick (Special occasions)
Nail polish

Wow Will's right I DO wear a lot of make up. I didn't notice until I wrote it all down.

Ok time for the Hair!

I've been asked a few times about my hair colour and before anyone even thinks about asking me again...Yes I am a Natural red head!

How I keep my hair looking its best:

1) Blow dry it, but not too much (If you over dry your hair it will go fuzzy and you will kill it with heat)

2) Conditioner!

3) Conditioning masks. (These are a god send for long hair. Just rub it in, leave for 2 minutes and rise it out)

4) Get it cut regularly (I get mine cut every 4 weeks. It keeps the ends looking wonderful and stops my shorter layers growing out)

I think that should be everything. I hope my Grellettes found this useful in someway.

Love you all~

Grell
