Clucking Brilliant!

So I woke up Saturday morning, as normal, as you do. Had some breakfast grub and a cup of tea :-) (of course) Got the dog fed. I went down to let the girls out not expecting anything different to occur to be honest but . . . When I opened the chciken shed door I could see out of the corner of my eye a big pile of eggs. It is true, The girls have started laying. I was so excited, I scooped all 8 of them up and ran down the garden screaming "They are laying, they are laying!" I know this is completely irrelevant to performance and that of the like, but I just had to share this with you!

So Guess what we had for lunch on Saturday? Dippey egg and soldiers. Naturally!

Yup! You may think it's a little funny to say the following statement but:

"I am proud of my girls!"

P.S Tomorrow I am off to London for an audition. Lets hope all goes well. I will keepy thee informed!

PhotoShoot last Weekend

See I told you I had a fair bit to tell you. Well last weekend I met up once again with JB photography for what we thought was the final shoot. :-( But it has later been comfirmed that it wasn't and that this weekend is back on.:-)

So we took two shots on Saturday of last week, in the freezing cold I must add. Great looking shots though.My outfists were pretty cool. But un-fortunatley there was a slight problem with the lighting of them and we need a re-shoot. That is happening tomorrow. So I will keep you informed.

I'm quite lucky because JB Photogrpahy has agrred to compile me a protfolio from the shoot! This I am very excited about. So once I have my hand on that I can provide all you guys with the photographs to have a mooch at. Exciting! Apparently so far, they are looking good! (Thumbs up)

This is not a JB Photograph. This is a personal one (one of my own). Just thought I would use it as the subjects were Modelling and photography! aha!

Goodness My Apologies . . .

It has been so long since my last post. I have let myself down ever so slightly in not posting really. Very sorry folks! I have just been major busy and really havent got round to it! But ... I am back now and will posting as normal Monday - Friday. No complications.

I have quite a bit to tell you about to be honest! GUESS WHAT!??

The Saturday Morning Drama Club Is Returning!

 It is true! We start back on the 27th February! :-) And I for one am very very excited. We have got the majority of our old members returning and a large handful of newbies joining us this time round. It is just another 6 week project, for now. But we are hoping (Still) for it to become something slightly more permenant. Which would be wonderful for both us and the kids. I'm not all together sure yet what we will be doing with the group. I have some ideas and plans floating around. Will have to get that sorted!

I will keep you updated on The Saturday Morning Drama Clubs re-hearsal process.

A Doodling Day

Another day . . . Another doodle, or so they say. Do they even say that? Ah well, or so I say! So I did exactly that today, I did a little doodle. At first I was only messing around with a biro and a sketch pad but then my picture really started to take shape. This pleased me and persued me. So I continued marking away on my picture for the rest of the day. (OK so perhaps it is a bit more than a doodle)

I was drawing Ewan McGreggor in his role for Trainspotting and Amy Winehouse from a while back. No they are'nt brilliant by any stretch of the imagination but you know ... They are something.

So my end result really wasn't something that I was that pleased with but the stages before hand were a good learning curve for me in the world of sketch!

Below is my Drawing stage for this particular sketch:

Trainspotting Un-Finished

Amy Winehouse

If you, by any chance want anything drawn for you (portraitwise) let me know and I will be happy to give it a go! :-)

So Shot 3 For shoot . . .

Yep another few hours at the studio last night. It was a little chilly in there too. So we got shot 3 done and dusted. This just leaves 2 more shots and they will be completed this weekend, in outdoor locations. Exciting! :-)

Yesterday, we finalised one shot. The one simular to that of Cheryl Cole (which may I add is a really nice shot, that I'm really happy with) and the other was a full body fashion shot featuring an umberella. Don't ask! It was great fun last, had a right laugh. I'm really enjoying this modelling experience. It is something that I would defenatly do more of. I mean I would never dream of being a catwalk model but fashion shoots have proved to be very fun and rewarding. Thumb up to JB Photography and their shoots.

As I mentioned earlier, we are on location this weekend for the final two shoots. That should be fun as the others have been studio based so it will be a bit different.

I don't actually have any copies of yesterdays photographs to show you as of yet I'm afraid. But ... I will have some soon I'm sure. Plus it wont be long before all the final outcomes will be able to be posted :-) That will be a great blog entry when it comes around I'm sure. So I thought I would leave you with a photo JB took a few shoots back in digital just so you can get a slight taster.

And I just Need To Share . . .

Also I watched Slumdog Millionaire the other day, AGAIN! And seriously . . . I need to share my love for the film with you. I just think it is incredible. My goodness that film is a true work of art. It is just filled with love and truth. It is the most colourful, beautiful and downright spectacular film that I have ever watched. This time last year I myself was in India persuing a 4 month Travelling trip across South East Asia, and I can really relate to this film. It gave me the travel bug bad. After being reminded of the colours, the visual beauty and the wonder of the country I am longing to go back there. Maybe on one day hey!

Slumdog Millionaire you get a 5 star from me and a whopping big thumbs up to!

1st Of The Month This Means . . .

(I am aware that this post is not one of performance but I really thought you should know ...)

20 days, and I stress 20 days to go before my leap for breast cancer. The dive is growing ever closer! Am I nervouse yet? Noo, seriously I'm not. I'm excited and up for it. But that scares me. I should be nervous. Surely the thought of launching myself out of a un-stable plane 10,000 ft up should be enough to evoke some nerves in me. But I'm afriad not. No siree, I'm looking forward to it! :-)

Also I am super pleased with how my raising is coming along! So far I have managed to raise the grand total of:

£427.00 and . . . Still raising! So get those sponsors coming in guys! :-)

On the subject of sponsors. I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has sponsored me. I am very graetful but for all those that haven't yet ... Cammon! Get em in!

If you wish to dive for Breakthrough Breast Cancer too, or just donate a one off or monthly donation please visit: http://breakthrough.org.uk/

JB Photo Shoot (Oh Natur-el)

So as some of you already know. I am currently modelling for Blakemore Photography. They are producing a series of photographs over a series of weeks. After the last shoot we had a little mess around in the studio. We were taking natural shots, no posing needed, just be yourself. As some of you (also) know, those natural photographs, I have been using in my portfolio gallery on my website.

Well I have managed to get my hands on another of those shots. I thought I would post it up for you all to see. So below is another shot from the shot with JB

Blakemore Photography website coming soon!

It's really nice to have a batch of natural shots around. They come in handy for all different occasions.
