EDINBURGH PART I

So I've been in Edinburgh for about a week now and its going well! I though I'd update you on my recent experiences up North!

So first the venue, we are in the Space @ Venue45 - just off the Royal Mile. I am acting in a play called 'Forty Five Minutes' written by Anya Reiss. It is about a group of sixth formers who suddenly realise the deadline for UCAS is in 45 minutes and they are no where near finishing it! I play the character Lara. Here is a link to see the full synopsis, reviews and all the information on the show: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/forty-five-minutes.






Here are a few snaps of me in action!



As you can see I am one of the only characters that is sitting, due to my hemiplegia I find it difficult to stand for too long, as this is 45 minutes I would not have been able to cope, but we managed to find a way around that by giving a seat centre stage! Personally, I think I got the better deal! 



And of course, the fashion! For my character this is the outfit I wore, she is not meant to be that stylish and I veered towards mismatched, bright colours. Here, I am standing outside my hostel. 






.Dress | H&M (a very old buy!). Jumper | Topshop. Trainers | Converse.

Stay tuned for more outfits posts etc and my experiences in Edinburgh.

I was born premature and almost died, I had to have open heart surgery to keep me alive. Hemiplegia is a condition that affects half of your body and is caused by parts of the brain being damaged. The most obvious effects of my condition is my foot, I limp and throughout childhood had to wear a splint and specialised footwear. I want to raise awareness of my condition, growing up was hard and I always stood out. I could never wear the latest fashions like my sister i.e flimsy footwear such as flip flops were a big no no! However, I want to show people that a disability is not a hindrance and you can still look and feel good with it! I love fashion and love dressing up - I refuse to let my disability stop this! Instead I have had to find ways of dressing to accommodate this. I am going to sha

Another day another outfit! My sister picked out this skirt for me the other day and told me I had to buy it! It's from Topshop (surprise) and I love it! The material is stretchy and fits so nicely. I decide to pair it with a leather jacket and my trusty Docs.  Lauren x
