Creative Boom...

Creative Boom Reading are a regional online magazine about the creative industries in Reading and the surrounding areas.  They cover everything from fashion, film, gaming, photography and art and design, animation and marketing. The site is managed by Creative Boom - its parent and national magazine, designed to celebrate, inspire and support the creative industries.  In partnership with jammmedia (a quite awesome design studio - great site) who are a young, energetic creative studio based in Reading.

The lovely Lucy from Creative Boom wrote to me last week and asked if she could do a quick feature on her site about some of my images.  Of course I obliged and having no clue about which images are being chosen or what has been said I await nervously until Monday morning (around midday) when the feature goes live.  

To check out the site (which is fab I must say!) then poke the page here.

Frolicking Fashion...

Front cover of a Pan-European (what does that mean?!) Fashion, Lifestyle and generally all round awesome magazine.

Thank you to the models, stylist, make up and hair, my Mum (who helped out loads!) and Alice at Running in Heels. Big snogs.

Running in rain soaked heels...

So a theatre packed weekend trip to London was swiftly replaced by shopping as unbelievably there were no tickets left under £70 for a matinee, call me naive but seriously it seemed a little ridiculous. Maybe pay day and a pre Xmas get together was on the cards for more people than me! Anyway enjoyed the shopping delights of Camden Market & Covent Garden and after much dribbling over some beautiful punched metal jewellery I settled on a suitably festive purchase of Bambi in black. Well, even Disney is fashionable these days.

Anyway busy week this week with 3 full days of shooting. Friday I am looking forward to as am descending on Stoke Parks exclusive Christmas Party and getting some snaps of the guests and the wonderful venue which i understand is going to be decorated in black and gold top to bottom. Even introducing a fire torch filled entrance and gold dip bar. Sneak preview pics to come at some point Saturday.

Ooo and before I forget although it hasn't gone live quite yet I believe it will be there by midnight. Not that I am staying up or expect anyone else to but check out my 'Louis me and Nettle Tea' pics on the front cover of Running in Heels!! (Talking of which I did a lot of that this weekend from bar to bar or bar to bus stop while tipping with rain!) There are a few brief words as well which I am now worried will make me sound like a total nonce but fingers crossed all is good and screw the words....it's the pictures!! Check it out here.

Over and out for this evening

New New NEWS!

So felt it was time for a new feature on the blog and the name of the game is keeping one's ear firmly pressed to the current, wet soggy ground. Once a week (maybe more, don't know yet!) I will be bringing you some hot gossip, some what is hot and what is not and some Art, Culture or Fashion News.

| U2 to headline Glastonbury |

| Tattoo you |

Body art has been getting increasingly popular for the past 20 years with the stereotype of hairy, mobbish bikers being thrown to the wind and middle class fashionistas almost classing it a necessity. Much like a pink well bagged pooch. Jo Waterhouse has now released a book about the art which forces the viewer to look at it as not only skin pigmented images. Check out the full article and info on how to get the book here.

| Vicky's secret |

The luxury lingerie brand is famous for its elaborate shows and didn't fail with its recent show featuring a full choir plus Heidi Klum who adorned the stage in a purple corset after giving birth only 5 weeks ago!! What, did she stop eating for the full 9 months?! (images courtesy of Telegraph.co.uk)
