Tatler 'BANDS' shoot

Wednesday 4th August

Another Tatler magazine shoot! I was assisting Tanya Chianale for the second time, she is really laid back, easy to get along with, and a pleasure to work with. Hannah Shaw from IMG was the only model, we have a mutual friend, and I've met her a few times before. She's lovely, and it's always nice when there's a familiar face. And a beautiful one at that!

There were five bands participating in the shoot- Widower, O Children (how tall is that guy!!!), Oe Est Le Swimming Pool, Soho Dolls, and The Coolness (debatable, but pure comedy!). I had never actually heard of any of these, so I must be a bit out of touch! Hannah was shot with each band, modelling uber nice clothes, I was very jealous! Wasn't too jealous about the grey Granny wig they put her in though, lol!

To top of an already great day, the photographer, Iain Mckell, has asked me to model for him for a book project he is doing, so looking forward to that!

Tatler Magazine

Wednesday 28th July

Second job for DW Management, assisting on a main fashion shoot for Tatler. Not only was I assisting Tanya Chianale with make-up, I was also helping out with the hair (eek!), assisting Robin Pawloski. The agency hadn't been able to get hold of anyone to assist him, so it was down to me. I have finally got the hang of curling hair for pin curls, despite burning my fingers several times along the way- ouch!!! Ha ha, I'll be a pro before you know it!

It was a very long shoot (over 12 hours), but with it being shot on location (by Luis Monteiro), there was a lot of things to be taken in to consideration. We were on a boat travelling up and down the Thames to various locations. We had to keep going round in circles to wait for the sun to come out, and it was windy so the hair kept blowing about and not looking right. But the models were troopers, giving it 110% all day. They were like Duracell bunnies, lol!

And I was very proud of myself for not being sick overboard, so a great day was had by all!

Glamour Magazine Shoot

Thursday 15th July

I have started assisting at DW Management, and today was my first job on a shoot for Glamour magazine. Sarah Reygate was the key make-up artist. She looks so demure in pictures I've seen of her, but is actually quite a bolshy character! She was great fun and I loved every minute of it!

The title of the shoot was 'dress your shape', and was shot by David Gubert at Big Sky studios. The models were Sai @ Models 1, Maili @ Elite London, Anna H @ FM, and Amy Lemons @ Ford, who I remembered seeing in magazines when I was growing up. That girl is soooooo photogenic! Well, they all are! It was refreshing to see that not all models are 6ft and a size 0, but they were still absolutely gorgeous! The shoot should be in the October issue, so I'm looking forward to seeing it in print!

Wella Trend Vision 2010

Tuesday 25th May

The plush Sofitel hotel in Heathrow was the venue for the London, Wella Trend Vision Awards. I was working with the lovely Megan Zarrabi from HOB Salons, Northwood, Middlesex, who went on to become one of the winners for Young Talent category. And boy did she deserve it! The colour of the models hair was absolutely beautiful, and she doesn't even normally colour hair! She did both colour, as well as cut the models hair for this event! I'm looking forward to working along side her again at the final, on the 27th September in Camden. Go Megan!

Fashion for Relief/ Haiti show

Wednesday 21st April

Was supposed to be flying out to Russia to meet Miss Campbell, and to make up faces for the Fashion for Relief show. But, due to the volcanic ash, it had to be cancelled!!! Absolutely gutted! Was really looking forward to it! :o(

Lawson Photohoot

Thursday 8th April

Spent the day with four lovely boys! They make up Lawson, a new band signed to 19 Management, fronted by Andy Brown. They have a fresh, young vibe about them, and are all very cool and super talented! So watch this space! I'm sure you are going to hear a lot more about them!

Britain's Next Top Model

Sunday 7th March

Up at silly o'clock to head to the Big Sky Studios. Was very excited to be involved in a photo shoot for BNTM 2010! Had a very relaxed day actually, consisting of constantly eating junk food and chatting away with my colleagues. As well as working hard of course! It was easy make-up, and there was quite a lot of make-up artists, compared to the number of models, hence the relaxed atmosphere.
Lee Pycroft was in charge of the make-up. She is lovely, and sooooo tiny! And those amazing lips!
Don't want to spoil it too much for everyone, but here is a bit of goss about the day...........
The theme of the shoot was "beat bullying". There is a new judge, a supermodel! And a member of Girls Aloud was a guest for the day.
That's all you're getting! You'll just have to tune in later in the year to find out more!
