Modelling

Joanne Blakemore Strikes Again!

My trusty friend with a Camera and some serious skills does a fantastic job once again. If taking superb photographs of my wedding wasn't good enough she has now managed to produce some fantastic photographs from a recent shoot we had.

The shoot was 60's styled and based around the idea of 'Twiggy-ness.' A style and model that holds the highest place in mu heart if I am honest. I find it a really inspirational style as it seemed to push an awful lot of boundaries. No jean was tight or flared enough, no shirt was tailored enough, No boot white enough and no eyelash long enough. They always seemed to go above and beyond what was possible. 

So 60's rant over and back on to Joannes Photography. For those of you that keep tabs on my blog and enjoy reading it, you will know that I have done alot of work with Joanne in the past and regularly model for her. She is a Midlands based Photographer who is just starting up (if you like) She is currently building up her Portfolio and it would be really great if any Feedback that you had could be passed on to her. So, anything you wish to share about Joannes photographs please do and I will make sure all messages are sent to her.

We are still waiting on a few photographs so I will share with you what I have. Obviously, these are of a lower resolution and size to the originals but all the same, I think you get the idea.

A big thank you goes out to Joanne for these photographs. There will be more to come soon.

Newhampton Soul Club

February's Soul Club

That's right folks - It is that time of the month again and what a time it is!

Have you got your dancing shoes on and music ears fitted? Whether you are as excited as me or not, there is no denying that this fantastic evening of soul slipping tunes is something to leave the house for.

Seriously, I am now a Newhampton Soul Club dedicated fan. I guess there is no other way of looking at it. I enjoy the boogying on down and the slippy floors not to mention the DJ's superb set. You know what - The cafe aint to bad neither. My Dad occasionally treats himself to a burger (or 2.) You can see how much I enjoyed busting my moves by checking out the following photographs from the January night. Oh, and you may have noticed me having a dance on the flyer? ... Look closer!

Arena Theatre Spokeswomen

The Bond Villain That is ... Berkoff

So A little while back I mentioned the Arena Theatre (My place of work) having the Legend that is 'Mr Steven Berkoff' performing on the 8th and 9th February. Well it has all been getting very exciting here at the Venue and the man himself has now arrived and is one successful show down.

From what I can gather (as I am yet to watch the performance) it is going down a storm and is utterly wonderful. To be honest - I expect nothing less from this master Villain.

I wanted to share with you the following Press Release for this show in our Local Newspaper the 'Express and Star.'

"One of Hollywood’s greatest bad guys will be in Wolverhampton this week for a rare two-night performance at the Arena Theatre.

Steven Berkoff will present a masterclass in evil on Wednesday and Thursday, February 7 and 8, 2012, when he stars in Shakespeare’s Villains.Berkoff has fashioned a career from being one of the most evil players on stage and screen.

Arena Theatre spokeswoman Jess Harper said: “Renowned throughout the world as actor, writer and director, Berkoff is known to many for the villains he has played in mainstream films – Octopussy, Beverly Hills Cop, Rambo and The Krays.”
Berkoff will look at characters who are inherently evil, whose situation leads them to evil deeds or who are at the mercy of an evil society. He will use his experience to describe dastardly Shakespearian characters in a way that will challenge and exhilarate.

Contemporary dance is also in store at the Arena, with Retina Dance presenting Layers Of Skin.
Six dancers will perform in a piece of work with original choreography from Filip Van Huffel and music from Joris Vanvinckenroye and Aranis.

Tickets are available from http://www.arena.wlv.ac.uk/

Joanne Blakemore Photography

Wedding Photographs

You may remember last year I did an awful lot of blogging and modelling for a Female, Midlands based photographer called 'Joanna Blakemore.' Both my husband and  I were very fortunate to have Jo photographing out wedding on the 22nd of December and today is the day we get to go and pick them up and have mooch through a few. I'm pretty sure they are going to be stunning. You can tell how wondeful Jo is at what she does from looking at previous shots she has taken.

I am really looking forward to being able to share them with everyone. :-)

 

Although we don't have our wedding photographs yet, I thought I would show you a few photographs that Jo made possible.

 

Want to know more about Joannes photography? Please let me know and I will point you in all the right directions.

Newhampton Soul Club

With a sprung dance floor and some talk for the spinners, you really cannot go wrong with this evening out in Wolverhampton. So get youraself suited and booted and get yourself down to the 'Newhampton Arts Centre' in Wolverhampton tonight. Tickets are selling like hot cakes I hear, so get yourself one now!

Robert Lane

Robert Lane Music

You may remember a while back that I wrote a blog on a good friend named - Mr Robert Lane. Well, I felt it was now time to get another blog post for this chappy going.

So we have established his name and that he has a musician but I bet you haven't all worked out his sound yet have you? Well ... What better way to find out a bit more about him than to spend some time listening to his tunes. 

Below is a little sound player and this is all the stuff from Robs newest and latest CD. It is most definitely worth a listen to. He is a very talented bloke is our Rob! :-)

If you find yourself digging his stuff let me know as I would love to pass on all good feedback to the musician himself. I'm sure he would be over the moon to receive it.
