Make me up before you go go

I'm thinking about doing a make-up artist course at college at the moment. Maybe a theatrical course, you know to do stage and screen work? I would absolutely love it and I would be awesome at it - I love make up.

My dream would be to go to Jemma Kidd's Make Up School (Jemma Kidd Make Up School Revealing Beauty) - in London but at 8.5k a pop you can keep it. Even if you do get to keep the brushes.

I feel like I am at a real cross roads right now - 28 in 19 days - leaving me just two years left of my twenties and I have no idea where I want to go. I know I am emigrating and I know what I like, but how do I put this into a career? Oh why oh why didn't I pay more attention in class?!

Right now I'm working two jobs (neither of which, if I am honest, I am any good at), reviewing sex toys (which means I get to write so I love it) and being a part-time AVON lady (which I also love, but haven't enough time to dedicate to it) - scrimping and saving to make ends meet - and all I want is to get the hell out of England (for a while or forever, who knows) and be free!

My real dream is to open my own Comic & Book shop and be a beatnik chick. I look great in black and I'm sure I could learn the bongos in next to no time...
