Leaving on a jet plane (Part 2)

Some news: I've been in Hong Kong since Feb 2012, a whole 18 months now. I absolutely adore this city and country, more so than I ever thought I would. I have a solid group of friends, I feel that I've grown as a person and I've fallen into the lifestyle with ease. Who wouldn't, with boat trips on the weekend and a beach not more than 20 minutes away?! However, as of June next year, I will officially be a Londoner again! Ras' company have started up a new department and they want him there, so back to Blighty we go! I'm not sure how long we'll be living in London, or where in London we'll be but we will be back. I'm going...

Million Dollar Reload!

So some of you may know I'm a huge fan of a Northern Irish rock band called Million Dollar Reload. The best (and most accurate) review I've heard for them is "Sounds like AC/DC, Aerosmith and Guns n Roses jamming in Buckcherry's garage". How could you not want to listen to something like that!? Anyway, I was lucky enough to meet some of them last year backstage (!) at Download Festival and it turns out that not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they're also thoroughly lovely chaps! Hey look! There's me backstage with...

First video, Cookoo Watch

So my agency sent me on a job a little while back for a new watch that has just launched. The brand is Cookoo and it seems to be getting quite a lot of press, as it's been funded through Kickstarter (a website where you post your idea and people donate/pledge money, check it out!). You can catch me at 00.40 (on the left, blink and you'll miss it!). It was great fun to shoot (I had no idea how long it takes to shoot a video!), and it's good to see the result popping up all over the web :) Here it is!...

Happy New Year!

What a busy couple of weeks! I flew back to the U.K over Christmas to visit family and managed to squeeze in a few shoots with a selection of people, some with whom I've worked before (the ever wonderful Joe and Leanne - more on them later) and a couple I hadn't (you'll have to wait and see on that front). Visiting my family and friends was wonderful, but I found it harder this time, somehow. Maybe because Christmas is a very family oriented time, so being around them all made me realise just how far away I am. I had a wonderful time...

Oops!

I've been neglecting you again. I'm sorry *slaps self on wrist*. I can't even say that I've been hugely busy, certainly not busy enough that I don't have time to sit down and write! However, I have been doing a few things. I've got a Christmas cocktail party coming up (which I'm hosting) and so my last couple of weeks have been spent sorting out the food, decorations, drinks and, most importantly, trying to find the perfect dress to wear! I've got a fitting on Friday with a designer friend of mine so we'll see what she comes up with! Other...

As promised, my newest publication!

I finally managed to get the scanner to work and produce mostly decent scans of my most recent work with Wedding Magazine, yay! I know I promised to upload them last week but with the scanner not working and then being away in Thailand for a few days (pictures from that holiday very soon!), I only managed to get around to it today. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed twirling around in fabulous dresses! Click on the images to make them larger and try to ignore the dodgy scanning on some of them ;) Gown: Amelia Wedding Left...

Tears of a Clown...

This week I have mostly been playing tour guide to my parents, who are here to visit for 10 days. John (my step-dad) had never been out of Europe and Mum had only been to the U.S, never toward the east, so they are both really excited to be here. We've seen the Tian Tan Buddha, Victoria's Peak, they've been to Macau and tomorrow we're going to the 10,000 Buddhas temple and Kam Shan Country Park to see the wild monkeys. It was Mum's birthday the day they arrived and so we took her down to Shek-O beach so that she could paddle in the South...
