Creating 'Chelsea-Mai Riley'

For the identity brief we had to create our identities on social networking platforms and so on Sunday night I dressed up as 'Chelsea-Mai' and got pictures, ready for my profiles, and I've never had so much fun. To create my chavy bimbo character I needed a lot of fake tan, bronzer, pink blusher and giant fake eyelashes, the result a very orange bed and a very different me:

After taking a few pictures I created her Facebook:

Adding information to the page helped to give her character more depth and so I gave her a secondary school, added her to a hairdressing course in the Community College and then started added in her favourite music, TV shows and movies. 'Chelsea' is obsessed with JLS (she will be found on a lot of JLS blogs) but she's also a fan of a lot of pop music such as Britney, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and very girl 'chick flicks' such as Mean Girls, Twilight and Dirty Dancing. However I think her most telling information is her inspiration people: Paris Hilton, Jodie Marsh, Jordan, Perez Hilton, Beyonce... This famous people give you an idea of what kind of person she is. While TV shows are a lot of reality shows, 'Trash TV' as it can be called. and once i'd added the pictures and all this information i added all my friends and began to post statuses.


I also created a twitter, with the name '@ChelseaMaiJLS' and followed many of the people she likes (that you can see on facebook). Within 2 hours i already had 17 followers, with only tweeting 3 times. So i'm quite excited to see what kind of people follow me!

I still need to create a Tumblr and an ebay account, as well as start to write on JLS blogs, it's going to be quite fun :)
