Ok, so today, I have four, I'm gonna call them inkings on my hand, even though they're technically eyeliner drawing I did on my hand. One is an Egyptian eye which I copied from this book on Egyptology, that's the one near my thumb. Then there's the word CARIAD, which means love in Welsh, you probably can't quite see that, and it's on my middle finger, then there's a small simple cross. And finally, the one I want to talk about, the word London, which I got from a sticker in my room.

The reason I choose London for my wrist design today was because, well, London to mean has a lot of things. I think danger, celebs and cherimon. Ok, so I'm reading this series of books called numbered, which has the London eye being blown up in 2008, in the first one, London being washed away and on fire and earthquakes, and all sort of natural disasters in the second one, and I haven't actually got round to the third one. But it's a really good series, by Rachel, something. Not sure what, pretty sure it's Rachel.
And when I was young-er, I thought all celebrities lived in London, so that's why I thought celebs. Now I am older and more mature I now know that they all actually live in America, no matter where they were born, as England is kinda cold. (understatement of the century).
But cherimon, is, embarrassingly the main reason I choose London to rock my wrist today. For those of you who don't know what Cherimon is, it's Charlieissocoollike (Charlie McDonald) and Nerimon (Alex Day). For those of you still confused, the two most successful YouTubers/vloggers in Britain (I think). Recently Alex decided to try and get Christmas number one with his single Forever Yours, and, yeah, it failed. At getting number one, but it actually managed to get to number 4, and also get stuck in my head, so that was the song in my head when I was painting my hand this morning.This was all without a record company or a proper media campain, though he did use YouTube, obviously.
And I think it's the fact that he's not a celebrity, he's just this guy who lives in London with his best best friend, maknig YouTube videos is the reason he did so well. Because the people who watch his videos know stuff about him, the same type of stuff you'd know about your friend, and so you do feel like you know him. Which feels kinda creepy, but still. So when Alex released his new single and asked for help getting to number one, you feel like you should help him, like you'd help a friend. You don't believe you'll actually do it, but you want him to. Now one or two people watching you and doing this, yeah, not much help. But 487,000-ish subscribers, all who feel like they know this guy like a friend. you've actually got quite a good chance of getting there.
Then there's the fact he "made" us all buy all 11 (I think) copies. That may have also helped.
But then he gave us a free song (Jack and Coke), which was nice. So you should probably get it too. 'Cause he's also quite good. If you like that sort of stuff. Which I do.
SO yeah, this is what I'm gonig to be blogging about, drawings on my hand, and the stuff they make me think of. Enjoy.
p.s. sorry for the lack of Charlie stuff. I'll do something on him a bit later.
