Danni Minogue


It's a thing about drawing people I've found, that you don't really notice how funny looking people are till you draw them. When I do live portraits, I often help put people at their ease and encourage them to feel less self conscious by exclaiming half way through the picture and telling them what unusual nostrils they have, or that their ear lobes are the squarest I've ever seen. Danni Minogue incidentally I noticed, has abnormally small amounts of white showing in her eyes. Honestly, they are like a horse's eyes. She's still beautiful of course. This came after a tragicomic controversy where two wannabe models actively refused to have their hair cut. There's a lesson for anyone with a dream there - compromise is necessary if you're ambitious. I wonder what things Danni did that created the person that she wanted to be. Apart from working with Simon Cowell I mean.

Hayden Panettiere


Hayden has a special place in my heart, from both Heroes and Nashville, but who knew she had so much real wisdom in her? This is very much the shortened version, her speech in full: 
'It's not that we don't have regrets in our lives, or wish that we did things differently, but that the end result is the same. It happened, bad things happen, but you have two choices; to either lay and roll around in it, or take the best message you can from it and take that with you through life, so..'
The context, if you missed TGNS this week (why? do you have a life?) is that she has a tattoo on her back that says 'live without regrets' in Italian. Only it's spelt wrong. Proving it 100% true. 

I may stick this one on my wall to remind me of it's epic wisdom. I especially like the image of Hayden rolling around in bad things.

Craig Revel Horwood


If you don't get it, it's a joke because he is a judge on Strictly Come Dancing. I didn't watch that though, I watched The Sarah Millican Television Programme. Which is much funnier.
