One model per assignment. This will be done at my home. Paying $30 per sitting which I expect will be 1-2 hours. Unlimited tea, coffee, beer, wine provided ( so long as over 18!). The makeup will range from every day looks to bridal and prom glam to overdone theatre and tv style makep to creative to special effects such as fantasy characters/fake wounds etc. I will need to photograph or video this, sometimes just the end result, sometimes the sitting itself, to be send on for my assignments to be assessed. Images will by necessity need to go to my tutor/school so need to be OK with this. Does not have to be the same person for all 10 sittings. A range of skin colours would be super! let me know if this sounds like a bit of fun for you!

Should the proposed marina on Waiheke Island get the green light?

Construction on Waiheke Island's Kennedy Point marina is to continue after an out of court settlement was made between campaigners and developers.

Four years of court proceedings have been withdrawn by Save Kennedy Point (SKP), after Kennedy Point Boatharbour Limited said they would put the welfare of a little blue penguin colony front of mind.

As part of the settlement, the developers have agreed to forgo all recent costs orders made against SKP and to not seek further costs from them.

SKP was facing bills of almost $250,000 sought by the developers and Auckland Council.

In more recent developments, the group has announced they will hīkoi to Parliament to deliver a petition asking Environment Minister David Parker take the case back to the Environment Court.

The petition, which already has 8500 signatures, was started by Uri o Ngāri Pāoa, who are occupying the beach at Kennedy Point.

Government announces $685 million cycling and walking bridge for Auckland's Waitematā Harbour

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

A new bridge costing $685 million is to be built for walkers and cyclists crossing Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour.

It is hoped construction can begin mid-2022, in a plan unveiled just five days after cycling lobbyists broke through a police barrier and rode over the existing Harbour Bridge, demanding action.

Transport Minister Michael Wood said once begun, the new structure is expected to take five years to complete, and work will continue on interim use of existing harbour bridge lanes for cycling and walking.

“A stand-alone structure is the safest option that will not only provide a walking and cycling option for commuters but creates an outstanding piece of tourism infrastructure,” said Wood.

1. The injection is painless- both times, the pressure of the nurse's fingers on my arm to setup the site was harder than the needle going in
2. After effects- I felt fine in the days after the first shot. 2nd shot, day after I was a bit sleepy and needed an extra coffee, but I'd done a marathon the previous weekend..
3. Take something to read , drink and eat - you have to wait for 20 minutes after the injection
