Blackpool glamourama!

Some candid shots of (probably) the last day of summer 2011 ! I went to Blackpool on a TFP shoot with the photographer Dan Tyack http://www.dantyackphotography.co.uk/ and the lovely Latvian model, Laura Pahomova. After the previous week, Blackpool had been battered by gales from Hurricane Katia, and the weather had been generally awful and definitely Autumnal, we dropped lucky with a beautiful, glorious sunshiney day - not a cloud in the sky! ice creams for a £1 , and sparkly sea, fresh clean sand as the tide just went out in time for us to paddle our feet, and chips on the way home. NICE! Will post a link to completed photos by Dan soon.

Here's the article about the Dave Spikey pilot ( in last post)

UK Vet supports a ban on Cosmetic Testing !!

Pete Wedderburn - a UK veterinary surgeon, has written this fantastic and informative article in the Telegraph - please read if you want to understand the 2013 ban on cosmetic testing, and if its going to happen at all... Lets hope the big brands dont manage to push through a delay on this, for the animals sakes..

'High' glamour and herpes

mmmmm ! delightful .. this make up was created for a new short film ' Buzz Dish' directed by Dave Spikey of Phoenix Nights, and due to be entered into the Cofilmic comedy film festival in Manchester this Autumn ! The film is hilarious and I really want to work on more comedies now, because the film making process was also hilarious and such a laugh to work on ! In addition, I learned how to relax a ferret, and we were all treated to observing ( and sometimes being accosted by) the oddball characters that really live in Chorley.. oh how life can imitate art sometimes!.. We even had our lunches in a pub called the Dog Inn.. you couldnt make it up!
