Buy My Face Blog

 

Funny on so many levels – two Cambridge graduates walking around the university of Southampton, whilst advertising Bath University. Bath just won the coveted ‘University of the Year’ award, and feeling compelled to spread the word, we hopped in the BuyMyFaceMobile and took a trip down south. Here, we made the students face facts; Bath University is awesome (and that opinion is only slightly influenced by the fact that they bought our faces).

 

After a few people told us to “get lost” and a few more said, “hey, are you the BuyMyFace guys?” we decided to take our faces and split. All good things must come to an end.

 

 

 

 

 

We’re going to have a documentary made about BuyMyFace.com! This morning was spent talking to the guy who’s going to film it for us and storyboarding – the humble beginnings of two adolescents growing up on ‘the street’ (of Cambridge), the discovery of their face-painting talent that they hide from disparaging friends, the rise to riches and fame as they leave their old life behind, and the sex scandal that bankrupts them.

 

With our morning’s work done, we had to shift up a gear for go-karting in the afternoon. In the last month, we’ve been professional skydivers, theatre critiques, and cocktail connoisseurs, but it was time to become race drivers for team AppZapp. We accelerated, slip-streamed, span and crashed into 8th and 9th place out of 15 (in our defence, most of the people who beat us had twin-engine karts). As fun as it was, I think we’ll need a bit more experience before bringing out the AppZapp F1 team!

A simple Saturday working for Buy My Face, and what better way to spend it than doing some outdoor activities in honour of ViewRanger.  However, there was a problem; with our second press release due to go out soon, and countless radio/TV interviews to line up, time was scarce.  So how did we solve this?  Well, the only sensible thing to do was to amalgamate all outdoor sports into one… may I present, Hike-Ski-Run-Climb-Cycling. It’s storming the nation!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having sold Varsity Ski Trip, been skydiving, and with our Christmas charity auction fast approaching, it was time for a press release.  Problem was the handyman was round to replace the window on the front door – Ross’ brother Edmund (18 years old), apparently put his hand through the pane of glass when boding farewell to a few friends he had round for dinner whilst his parents were away… yea… and I imagine the picture frame was broken in a fluke accident involving a spontaneously combusting egg timer!

 

Anyway, regardless of how the glass on the front door was broken, we were banished from the Buy My Face head office whilst the handyman was at work.  We had just enough time to take the essentials with us and continue working on the press release elsewhere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vroom! Screech! Vroom! Screech! That was the sound of our oh-so-skillful driving as we navigated the traffic lights of Norwich today.  We stole ourselves away from the electric atmosphere of the Buy My Face head office to film a promotional video for US2U Consulting in what they described as, “our characteristic quirky style”.

 

Having begun the day in Cambridge, our video-shooting escapades took us into the depths of Norwich city where we were forced to eat chips, drink beer, and stage a Christmas photo for the US2U consulting Christmas card. Luckily, we managed to escape with our lives and are now back in good old, safe, predictable London… [BANG]… what was that?
