I'm a kind of presenter now!

I spent last night travelling round the north east presenting in night clubs with BTV, a new online tv channel. We started out in a couple of clubs in Newcastle, then one in South Shields, then ended up in Sunderland.
It was definitely interesting, but the camera man and producer were very happy with me!

To see the last show, just click this.
The only problem i think there might be is that because it was so loud in the clubs, i had to shout, and it might make my voice sound really screechy and horrible.

The show should be out next week. I'm heading down to york today to pick up my friend Sam, and we will be off to Weatherby to start rehearsing for the Halloween scare acting gig! Exciting!

Some photos from the new photo shoot..

Me and Natalie headed into the woods for another photoshoot, here's some of the pictures. I did the make up myself, which i was quite proud of!

I think the styling was originally inspired by birds and the woodlands, but that got as far as clipping feathers to my hair and dress, but i'm not complaining, it looked nice!

If we were to do it again, i would love to try makeup where i had feathers surrounding my eyes, or on my eyebrows, but that may be more editorial?

Just when it's all going nicely...

....things get cancelled! Yup, the Strawberry Lemonade shoot was cancelled on Saturday night when we were due to start filming on Sunday. I was gutted! Already spent two, very long days rehearsing, and organised my costume and hair and makeup. The other actress was ill, so we didn't go ahead with it.

But, they say that things happen for a reason. One good thing that came out of being involved with this production, was that i met Adam Baroni of BaloneyTelevision. He's just started a new Internet channel that goes out filming in clubs around the North East, then people can be tagged in the videos. He's looking for presenters, and is going to give me a trial on Wednesday in Newcastle. Fingers crossed it goes well!

In the mean time, i'm living out that cliché of being an aspiring actress, working as a waitress. It had to happen some time.

Fright Night is Close!

We've been given the rehearsal dates for Halloween, and the script is almost finished! It's all getting exciting again, i love Halloween, and this year i get a whole week of it, but don't have to work on the 31st! It's a win win for me!

Just looking at the website for Stockeld Park, where we'll be, and i can't wait.

Here's some of my friends from last year:

That's Sam as the scary cannibal

Rachel as Snow Bite

Michael as a Werewolf

I'm Writing My Own Film!

...and it will have speed boats in it! Anyone want a part?

Photoshoot with a lovely car!

Photographs from Natalie's vintage fashion shoot. We're doing a new one on Thursday, inspired by birds!
I love the car we used, a Triumph Herald that belongs to a family friend, and i think all the photos from this series look so seventies, glamorous and decadent!
You can't tell in these pictures, but we loaded up the car-rack with loads of vintage suitcases, and it really looked the part!
