It's been a busy six months and it's time for an update and promotion of some of the awesome work I have been doing, as well as general what-I-have-been-up-to sort of banter.
First of all, I promised some images from the shoot with Silverlight from January. I have to say... This is maybe in the top three in the list of favourite photos of me ever taken. Aptly named by Wayne "coke and a smoke" it totally sums up why I love doing artistic nude so much. We have done a couple of other interesting and exciting shoots since, the photos will follow in a later blog.
So, in a moment of true madness, I decided I would colour my hair red for Comic Relief in March. It's July now and it's still red because I freakin' love it! The lovely Mike Hardley photographed me with the new do in March and here's my favourite from the day:
It shows the hair colour in a much more muted tone than in reality. Here's a little "selfie" so you can see the colour unedited:
It's a darker tone now, but I still love it! Even if it is very high maintenance! I had another shoot in May by the lovely Sean O'Malley, and we made my hair quite a feature. We had make up artist Mandy Elizabeth along too, and she did some fabulous things with hair and makeup. The results are awesome! See for yourself:
The hair is a great feature I think, although it took some getting used to, and a few applications of colour to get the tone right. As for Comic Relief, I raised around £300 so that is pretty good going!
I have recently seen Mandy again, when I helped out at the opening of the occasional dress shop Jessica Louise at The Old Watermill Shopping Village in Barton Le Clay. I met some lovely people, and, whilst sampling and showing off the stock, pointed people in the direction of the shop and promoted Mandy's beauty services. We had a fun photo session with Jane Kelly, and discussed some very exciting future projects - watch this space! For now, I will leave you with this image from my shoot yesterday in the glorious sunshine, wearing a gorgeous prom dress and glammed up to the eyeballs with lots of jewellery, several tiaras and some hair pins for effect.
Happy Sunday folks. XxX.
