Ramblings of a Model, Mother and Outspoken Weirdo

If you have a minute you should check out the Gallery of all the images from the Daisy Stays group shoot which took place in County Durham mid August shot by Richard Shepherd. It had been planned months in advance and there had been a lot of expectation on the day. I had to get up really early to get the metro from Sunderland up to Sharon's place to get all dolled up!

I got to rock two items of delight! One black and white underbust corset and an Oriental styley one which I am in love with and very keen to use for another shoot. I am currently customizing my black corset for my burlesque debut in Sunderland on the 15th of October, shall bore you with the details in a later blog! :)

There was some also quality candid shots taken on the day! Gonna show some love for my homegirl Ellen, one where I am doing some amateur MUAing on her purdy face and another when it looks kinda like I am bumming her! Couldn't have got through 2010 without her, she had administered both hugs and slaps when I have needed them.

I have that vintage shoot tomorrow going to have a practice with my hair today and then I get to visit the the love of my life on Friday, everything is tickety boo.

Well obviously not really! I did a lot of shoots last week and I just going to blog them one by one to give them the time they deserve.

I normally use Purestorm and Model Mayhem to arrange my shoots, if you're looks to start modeling this is a good place to start. I have had quite a lot of people asking lately. You can also find some photographers on Facebook too. Beware of perverts with cameras though because there are a fair few of them.

I had a shoot about two weeks ago with Russ and Paul, two fab guys who made me laugh, it was quite a weird set up having two photographers and one model. I have been to shoots where there have been two models and one photographer but this was completely different, bouncing ideas of each other and taking turns. It was good though and I am delighted with some of the images.

My little boy started big school last, they ease them in gradually. Last week they were there until 11:45 and this week they stay for lunch and next week they are there all day. He looks so old and grown up in his school uniform. It doesn't seem like two minutes ago he was a tiny little bundle in a moses basket. I am very proud of him. He has such an amazing vocabulary for a little boy of 4, although he lacks a bit in the common sense section of the brain, bless him. He was so lazy this morning I had to go up and get his out of bed. I do have a full year of my baby girl at home before she starts nursery. She is a lot less work than Laurence, she can entertain herself. She is singing and dancing round in a circle as I type.

My OU stuff starts up this month again, I have had a bit of a six month break because it was starting to make me feel physically sick. I was getting so demoralised. However I am refreshed and ready to start again. I am doing a degree in Health and Social care. After which, when the kids are at school full time, I want to go to Uni full time to do midwifery.

Supposed to be having a shoot this weekend with Greg Sanders, or not sure if my corset is going to arrive on time. My corset lady appears to have gone off message. My corset is being made from this fabric, I got loads of cute things to match too. Sure she will get back to me, she is probably just waiting until she has finished or something. I have too much time to dwell on things when I am at home all day. I think people do stuff to be awkward or out malice but its just my brain doing overtime and reading too much crappy stuff in the news. Ooh you can also see Greg's work on Facebook

Had a really interesting time since my last blog just been so busy! I got my photos back from my Hourglass Shoot and they are absolutely gorgeous! I find it difficult to believe it is even me they are so pretty. I am also featured in the Hourglass 2010 Calendar, I am Miss April! Dying to see myself in print. Here is my favourite pic from my HG shoot.

Also if you check out http://www.madamelestrange.com/ you will see my ugly mug there too. I look forward to buying myself some more MLS corsets in the future, that gorgeous Neon creation is as comfy as a t-shirt! I love it! If you are considering a custom corset this is the lady to go to. Also my corset has been named the 'Danielle' :) an absolute honour.

Still waiting for my piccies from Christine, but I sure they will be fabulous too, I am dying to see them.
