The Saturday Morning Drama Club Returns

Technorati - 3CH5RP7QX6HU

Apolagies for the above mish mash of numbers and letters. Got to make my blog safe so just verifying a code. Anway . . .

Un-fortunatley last Saturday I could not attend the first meeting back since christmas due to my fall from the sky, so I returned this Saturday. And what a wicked bunch of kids we are working. I have a good feeling about the next few sessions, I have a feeling we will do a fun, lively piece which will be great all round.

After a brainstorm and a few warm up games. We have come up with the title of our piece:

What Happened To Maria!?!

What do you think? It has been adapted from a warm up game we use. I am really looking forward to getting to work on this piece. The kids have gone away this week and written a sentanceto answer the above question. What happened to Maria. I wonder what sorts of things they will come up with!

Here I will do my homework and give it a bash now . . . Are you ready? ok...

What happened to Maria? (answer:) Maria at an apple from Marjories apple store down the road. Since eating that apple Maria has dissapeared. Or so we think. But someone told me that Marjorie poisoned the apple with invisibilitise and now Maria is simply invisable trying to be seen again. Poor Maria!

What do you think? Think that's worthy of a little mention in our show in 4 weeks time? hmmm . . . Probably not, probably best to leave it to the kids eh???

If you would like to write a What Happened To Maria? Paragraph. Feel free. Get them coming in.

I Talk To Competetors From "It's My Time."

Loretta

 

Loretta is a competetor from Bulgaria also looking to be the new face of United Colours Of Benetton's catalogue 2010. So far Loretta has 1286 votes and they are still coming in. Not bad going eh?

Here is what Loretta believes makes her special:

"Nothing is as nearly hard as it seems. just try and see for yourself =))) long live the optimism :D

my passions: fashion, photography, art, creative people, good books, dancing, shopping, having fun...just to name a few =)

*you'll never get to heaven, if you're scared of gettin high*"

Luckily for me, Loretta agreed to take some time out of her day to answer a few questions thats I had for her. Here is what Loretta had to say:

1. Tell me a little bit about the competition? well, it seems to be getting more and more "in" for big brands to search for new faces among the "normal" people. so that's what UCB is doing right now - from the 100 most popular contestants they will choose 20 who will get the chance to fly to NY and be a part of the winter campaign.

2. Did you enter the competition on the first day? Or were you a late enty like myself? i did enter in the beginning, i don't think it was the first day, but definitely in the first week. i can recall there were still less than 1000 contestants =) and now over 30.000

3. When voting for others, what do you look for? i'm looking for inspiration, for personalities, for something different. for looks or photos/videos that charm you or make you smile

4. How does it make you feel when someone votes for you? it feels gooooood =) your fashion, style and look are all statements that u make, and when people are voting the kinda argee with your point of view. it's nice feeling

5. Have you ever modelled before? i've made some modelling experience but nothing really profesional.predominantly just for fun

6. Is modelling to be your future career? mm i don't think so. i'm too old hahahah

7. Do you believe there is a lot of potential in this competition? oh that'S for sure! there are lots of talents here. very creative minds! and i'm not talking having only modelling in mind.

8. If you got a place and went to New York what would it mean to you? it would be one hell of experience - meeting so many cool people =) and besides that, i've always wanted to go to NY!

9. What makes you different and unique to others? everybody's different and everybody's unique. i think my ideas, vision and views on life are not the most commont ones =)

10. Anything you would like to add? to add....keep on smiling and dreaming =)) hope that's enough =)

A Big thank you must go out to Loretta for taking the time to answer these questions. I wish her the best of luck in the competition and hope all goes well for her.

What's New?

Well at present, as some of you are aware, I am on the look out for a new agent. So have been posting things left, right and centre and emailing things willy nilly in order to make that happen. I have recently been in conversation with the agecny EKA. So thumbs up! The search for a new agent is looking somewhat hopeul. Let's hope I get some more responses soon.

I Must Talk To You About "The Lovely Bones!

Oh my goodness. What a remarkable film. Seriously. It is actually just a piece of art. It is an amazing film to watch. One that I truley believe everyone should watch. It just captivated me from start to finish. The visial effects were just out of this world. (literally) Although it is quite a lengthy performance it does not lose your interest at all. It just hooks you right the way through. It also makes you think alot after viewing it. It plants little seeds in your head and gets you wondering. A truley amazing film. One well worth watching. Stunning, just stunning.

***** 5 stars The Lovely Bones

My Sky Dive In The Newspaper

Today the Express And Star (our local newspaper) are coming down to get a photograph and an article on my Sky Dive that took place on the 20th February. This will hopefully help me with raising a few extra pennies for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. I'm really excited actually. I think it would be super if I could donate higher than my target. Hopefully, depending on what time they come down today my article may be in this evenings addition. As soon as it is, I will scan it and get it posted on here for you all to see!

In order to make sponsoring easier for people I dont know i.e: Newspaper readers, I have set up a just giving site. This means that you can sponsor or donate at the click of a button. Rather than passing on details.. It's just that bit more easier. I have installed the donating widget to the sidebar of this blog. Just give it a click if you wish to sponsor. It would be super if you did! Only got 4 weeks left of raising. So let's go for it!

If I make it, I make it to New York my friends. A week in NYC snapping away. Great stuff!

I Have Dived And I Am Still In One Piece!

That is me above!

So Saturday the Twentyth has been an gone. This means that my sky dive has been and gone! Can you believe it? Blimey! That came and went quickly! I'm still finding it quite difficult to believe that I have jumped 10,000 ft (2 miles) out of a plane! Truley amazing! It was just out of this world, literally!

When we arrived I was a little un-sure on wether the dive would take place or not due to an icy run way. But . . . it was still scheduled to go and I could not wait. So I got kitted up, underwent some training and packed my self into the little plane. It took about half an hour to get up to the right height. Guess what!? I was the first to dive. So, the door opened and literally out we went! WOW! We were free falling and I could feel the cold on my face. Infact it felt like the cold was going right through my skull and giving me brain freeze. Just as I thought my face was going to explode, the parachute was released and we glided back to earth. We could see for miles up there. Just floating around slowly enjoying the view. I was even allowed to take reins and steer this crazy thing. We landed safetly, sliding along on our bums!

I cannot believe it! I sky dived! Wonderful!

I would like to say a maseph thank you to everyone who has sponsored me. I am still recieving sponsors to this day and can confirm that at this moment in time I have raised (so far) over £520.00 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer! Thank you so much everyone!

I dived with a photographer who filmed my dive and took proffessional photographs for me. So as soon as I recieve those I will put them up! For now here are a few taken by mi familia!

If you still wish to sponsor me for my dive, that's fine. Just let me know. I have 3 weeks to collect the money. So that gives you a little time to get it to me. Let's keep raising folks! :-)

Don't laugh at the get up. I hear these hats are in, Lady Gaga said so!

The 20th Is fast approaching!

My sky dive is now only 3 days away. Nervous? ... Honestly? No I'm not . . Yet! Should I be? ... probably. I'm actually really looking forward to my descent. But as I look out of the window today, I can see nothing but grey skies and rain drops. So not holding out much hope for the misery we call weather. I am beginning to wonder if we will ever see spring.

I cannot tell you how grateful i am to all those who have sponsored me. You have helped me to raise over £500 for Break Through Breast Cancer. I am chuffed to bits with that total and I know I can add to that with a final push. So if you do wish to sponsor me still, that's fine. Please just let me know and I can get that sorted no worries!

Also lets all start wishing for good weather in Whitchurch on Saturday! :-)
