Forgive me. Its been a couple of weeks since my last confession. It has been full on, the past few weeks, with no days off in between...but hey, that's the nature of this business; feast or famine!
So in the past few weeks I have met some great people, Estelle for one. Who gave me a sneak preview of her "hot" new video with Rick Ross ...she got moist in certain sections apparently (I think its premiered now, so not breaking any rules there!) Also photo shoot with rising talent Bunmi Mojewkwu or Mercy from Eastenders, if you prefer. As I don't watch it, I only know her from Misfits (she's the one who had the power to make people bald!). She's out of the show now. After you portray a Nigerian who has to get married to stay in the country (no sterotyping there then!) there's no where for you to go. But she's got theatre projects in the pipeline though, so good luck to her. It was her first photo shoot, but she was a trooper and great fun.
Also did a shoot with a TV Psychic who was told what your spirit guide looked like and could then draw them for you to keep. He did come across as if he spent a lot of time cultivating his herb garden, if you get my drift....but maybe that's just me! Also taught at LondonMUSE, a makeup school in Central London. It was refreshing passing my knowledge on to enquiring young minds. Basked in 35 degree heat at one point last week, till the owner of the studio had to order a portable air conditioner. Thank you Jesus! Still can't stand Melody from The Apprentice (delusional, lying, back stabbing bitch that she is, surely she can't be in it much longer??)
Did a great test shoot. Got a bit tired of waiting for various photographers to sort out dates, so I bit the bullet and organized one myself. The models (decided to use two, one for beauty and one for fashion, heaven knows when I will get the chance again), great stylist, made my own wigs, used airbrushing for the makeup and am truly happy with the results.
To get me back on track after my back breaking work load. I went to the Six Senses Spa in Canary Wharf. The massage was great (she used her elbows and everything). So were the various steam rooms and hydra-pool but I went there when they officially opened a couple of years ago and we had fluffy towel bathrobes and slippers and beauty creams in the changing rooms. It seams Six Senses have instilled there own austerity measures and the slippers have been replaced by rubber flip flops and the bathrobe by poly cotton with no tie belts and if you didn't bring your own cleanser, hand soap would have to suffice. As I said, the treatments are still good, so it was still really good value. I'm just grateful their still around. Thorntons are closing a lot of their branches...big surprise there, we girls love our chocolate..all making do with cadbury's obviously. Mothercare, TJ Hughes are going and Jane Norman has gone completely. These are institutions, I thought would be around forever....When will all this stop???
I'm taking myself off to Thailand shortly. It's only for 10 days, but don't be surprised if I don't return and I 'm found 10 years from now living in some bush in Thailand living on rice and green tea and forever the happier!.....
