I'm a Yes Girl.

They say thats a good thing but boy has it got me into a pickle or four in my time.Always saying yes to a project or client or activity, and then you-tubing it*/ googling it/ co-ercing someone more knowledgable than me to work out how on earth I can make it happen. Whatever the problem solving part of my brain is it must be really encroaching on the sanity part.I am literally always making it up, it's a miracle I haven't been found out yet, or failed.Some jobs I have done.Made a (to perfect scale) New York City Hall out of paperMade Gin & Tonic marshmallows and prescribed them as medicine to the Great British public (& Red wine & chilli & bourbon & more and for that matter)Spent two days making a fresh flower Alexander McQueen dress for British Vogue & The V&AMade a Toast Mahal (http://bit.ly/1IwmT2L) ..& Hosted a Toast Sculpture Party for Warburtons...Made a floating crematorium in a hot air balloon for the South Bank Centre...(still not sure what this was)Been an 'acting sleeper' sleeping on a shelf for two weeks in the Hayward Gallery (almost got fired for being actually asleep)Been an English Teacher/performing monkey for a year in France, with classes of 25 who were were 0% interested in learning EnglishBeen a food stylist for KFC (that was yesterday, thats why my passion project is still not finished)Spent a whole day breaking the arms and legs of soft toys for a children charity Ad, soul distressingly sad. Led a puppeteering troupe for the Olympics for two months. PAH.Spent a week styling Moonpig's Christmas catalogue (still very much all over my floor)Been an official Liquid Nitrogen flash freezer of vegetables for Bird's Eye Press EventsHosted Google Summer Party in a Silent Disco/Ice Cream Truck and almost died of jumping & excitement. What if I fail at this?*you-tubing 'how to win at SCA' doesn't work. I just tried it

Danke!
