Just got back to London late last night after my trip up North. I have shoots every day between now and when I fly back to LA next week, including Kent today then Chester, Berskshire and Nottingham as well as a couple actually in London. I'm actually starting to miss LA!
More from my shoot with Pete Copeland in Newcastle last week. I call this one the 'epic hair' set :D

The lovely ear plugs that you can kinda see in the close up black dress shot are by UK Custom plugs, they just sent me a couple of pairs to wear for shoots because they like my work (thankyou!!). I've been wearing them so much but this is the first shoot I've had pics from where you can see them. |

What is it?! I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's plotting my demise...

(Sorry for the sideways picture. Not sure how to fix it.) |

| Question about mead |
[May. 27th, 2012|05:02 pm] |
Today we are making a fruit mead for the first time. Multiple recipes online direct the maker to boil the honey in water, but then add fruit once the mead has cooled down, at the start of the fermenting process.
Is that right? What are the chances that we'll have a wild yeast if the fruit is not included in the boil?
The fruits that we'll be using are cherry and mango, if that matters. |

Almost 4 weeks into my trip back to the UK. It's been a crazy busy month, shooting pretty much every day since I've been back. So far I've been to London, Birmingham, Somerset, Newcastle, Darlington and Edinbugh and will also be shooting in Kent, Northampton and Berkshire before I fly back to LA. Phew!
Alas, the earnings that were supposed to be funding the shipping of my worldly possessions to my new home in LA (not to mention the much needed new laptop!) have all so far had to go to repay an old student debt I had somehow managed to pretend did not exist for the past 6 years, that the bank decided they wanted back this month. It's been a little disheartening to be working so hard and having nothing at the end of it all but at the same time it is entirely my own (18 year old self's!) fault and I am now completely debt free, which is lovely. And it does mean I'm probably going to have to come back to the UK again at the end of the year as I still need to ship all my stuff over to LA at some point. It's currently out of my storage unit and piled up high in my old room at my parent's house; they're already grumbling about when I'm going to take it away. lol. Hopefully I'll get as many bookings on the next trip as I did on this one!
I've done a lot more work outside of London than I usually do, including several shoots in my hometown of Newcastle (and one actually a 10 minute walk from my parents house!). Usually even when I'm staying with my parents I travel out of Newcastle to surrounding areas for work. I already got sent some pics from the first shoot I did in Newcastle last week. I love it when photographers send me images, it's so nice to see how stuff turns out! This one was a full day shoot with quite a few totally different looks, the first of which was a sort of woodland ballerina. The photographer described his vision as a loose homage to the film "The Tales Of Hoffmann", which I'd actually not heard of before but having a quick google before the shoot sounds pretty cool, must check it out soon.

I really love these. It's not often I get to say I'm modelling something totally new, but I do believe this is the first time I've worn a ballerina outfit (no fetish ballet heels don't count! haha).
There should be a lot more pics coming from this shoot soon.. I think next up is the crazy epic hair (here's a behind-the-scenes preview! :D)

Today I'm in Edinburgh modelling for a fine art nude workshop with The Yerburys. Hopefully the glorious weather of the past few days will continue! :) |
