Playas in the New Forest

So on my first post I said that I was going to write about everything that made me haps and there is a certain playa who I haven't really mentioned but she is essential to the Becki Clark equation of Haps..my dearest pal Liz Holt. I was going to incorporate a recipe into this post as usually Liz and her fiancé Steve always get to sample some clark cuisine, their favourite being a banana based bake, but then I decided I would just make it about my number one playa instead. Were like Jay Z and Kanye but instead of ''Niggas in Paris'' were the more exquisite version... ''Playas in tha New Forest''.

Liz and I have been friends for nearly 10 years which is pretty crazy considering our friendship is based on the fact I had a girl crush (thought she was super cool with her girl boxers and cut off jeans) at school. We have never had an argument and my mama refers to her as ''The Oracle'' which means basically whenever I don't know what to do in a situation I ask Liz and to be fair her predictions of the outcomes of my decisions have always been pretty accurate.

Whenever things go a bit crazy and wild Liz and I usually take it back to the old school by going for a walk with my little dawgy Rosie, sit in her flat and drink Earl Grey or of late we have decided to start ''Dickheads anonymous'' where we go to the Pub, order a few ciders and confess all the dickhead things we have done during the week. She was also a founding decision maker about Hip Hop Baking and sent me hilarious texts about ''going loco with tha cake'' for weeks!!

Anyway what I'm trying to say is every playa needs a Liz Holt in their life because without her its like making a cake with no electric whisk, pretty whack and very hard work!! Also she is one of the funniest,  prettiest and most caring bestest pals a playa could ask for. So heres a couple of photos of us in action, the top one I have had in a frame for 5 years and wherever I go it always sits in pride of place on my desk, its been on a bit of a tour in the last few years if I'm honest and could probably do with an updating frame job. 

2009 when we formed the ''Lush Babes'' with Lor and Mart, yep we referred to ourselves as this for a good 4 years and made other peoples call us the L.B'S. Were still not living this down. 


Last weeks DA session, down the cheese drinking Bulmers, admitting our sins for the week, doesn't get any better than that yo.  


 I was gonna whack 'Niggas in Paris'' at the bottom of this but to be honest Liz isn't really a fan of the Hip Hop classics, so gonna take it back to the old times when the Lushbabes where in full force going out about 3 times a week and still working full time jobs, God knows what happened to us apart from the fact we got old and can barely handle one big night out a month now but this was a BIG CLARK CLUB BANGER back in 2009 and whenever I hear it I smile in an nostalgic fashion like I'm some wise old owl now. 

PLAY ON PLAYAS!
