I forgot I had this photo. I was updating my iPhone because there is a new, free, Hipstamatic lens. While doing so, I looked at some of my Hip pics. While this isn’t a good example of what the app can do, it’s the only pic I have of this:
This picture was taken inside my favourite local pub. What a great advertisement for Guinness! Look how happy the model is! Look at that perfect pint! And, of course, the Guinness logo on the glass is turned perfectly to face the camera.
What’s so special about this poster? Well, it’s been up in the pub since early August. It’s a not-very-good colour printer job, on big paper, and stuck to the wall with Blu-Tack. You could say that alone is pretty impressive – that it has lasted this long in a pub when it is so fragile in nature.
What tickles me to no end is that I’m the one in the picture! It was just a night with a pint, lost in history – until iDJ chose it as one of many pictures he printed out and stuck around the pub for my fortieth birthday party. We took them all down at the end of the night – except for this one. The landlord asked if we would leave it up. Of course I wasn’t going to say no. He says he still gets compliments on my smiling face and the perfect pint in hand. Yay, me! I especially like that I just happened to also be wearing a necklace made by my stepmom which is very appropriate: it’s an Irish penny.
My short-lived modelling career when I was young didn’t pan out, but hey, I still got it. Particularly when someone gives me a fresh pint…

I forgot: in case you want to know what I used for a less-than-impressive Hipstamatic shot:
Lens: Melodie
Flash: Off
Film: Big Up
You’re pretty! No wonder the landlord wants to keep it up. 😉
Thank you, and back at you, too! I love seeing your face in my comments, you’re a stunner! Oh! I was thinking about you last night: do you eat pork? If so, I’ll put up another drunken recipe post about pork roast – as always, so easy a lush can do it!
You were thinking about me last night? 😮
I’m flattered!
Yes, I do eat pork at moments! I all depends on the recipe tho.
And please do! I like reading your recipe posts. 🙂
Well, of course! I know what it feels like to not believe I can cook, so after your lovely comments about my blog & recipes, I’m trying to think of other things I can help with! My cooking is tasty, easy, and has minimal clean up – yay on all counts!
The minimal cleaning up is the most important! 😉
I love Guinness and I love the pic! it would make a nice ad! The first episode of my youtube show was about Guinness, it runs a bit longer than I wanted to, but it was still about Guinness! If you have time and want to check it out you can find it here
Also, I think you would make a fine Guinness model!
I can’t believe I haven’t watched it yet! I’m a bit tired and, ahem, inebriated, to give it a proper viewing now though.
Thank you for the compliment – I’d work cheap, too; just keep the pints coming!
That is a lovely photo of you, I’m not surprised they are leaving it up!
Aw, thank you!
