Sunday Night Lights
Went up to the top of the Dandenongs on Sunday night for an attempt at a photo shoot of the city lights…discovered to my dismay that my lack of practice outside the realm of food photography in the past few months has resulted in my losing my ability to work the camera outside my kitchen - as a result, this shot was the best of the night.
I am utterly dismayed, and have resolved to go on a solitary nightwalk around the city sometime this week to retry my hand at some night photography. Heck, I might even try the Rialto…despite my abysmal fear of heights.
Despite my disappointment with my photos, I had a marvellous night…and…uh…*cough* I have the hickeys to prove it!
Kinda odd, really. I mean, I haven’t had a hickey since I was 16 - I was given one by my then boyfriend and was so embarrassed at having to go through the next day at school with a giant mark on my neck (despite my best attempts to cover it up with concealer) that after that day, I made sure that nobody left any visible marks. Admittedly, this is only a little one, though it does stand out like a sore thumb…as my brother’s raised eyebrow indicated to me when I saw him this morning. Of course, having gotten home late last night, I didn’t realize what the raised eyebrow was for till I trotted into the bathroom for my morning shower, and then…
“SWEET JESUS ON A BICYCLE, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING ON MY NECK?!”
I tried the concealer and once again it failed me, and what with it being a tad odd to wear a scarf inside, I resorted to wrapping my hair around the front of my neck all day and spending as little time with the family as possible.
Only having had one previous experience with these suckers (HAH! I made a funny…), I’ve got no idea how long they last…can anyone offer any advice? Any girls who have tips as to how to hide this without it being totally obvious as to WHAT I’m hiding?

I haven’t had one myself in fifty million years - although I have a premonition that I’ll get be getting some tonight - but with the benefit of age I’d say give Arnica cream a go because a hickey is essentially bruising. It should get rid of it a bit quicker
Other than that there’s apparently a cream from the pharmacy that all the junkies use to deal with their bruising 
I have no idea what that one is called though.. 
Because it’s a bruise, they’ll last a few days to a week depending on you..
And instructions to cover up are here! http://www.ehow.com/how_2098920_hide-bruise.html
I love the internet. It tells me everything
