The Paradise

We weren't allowed to post any photos from the Paradise, but seeing as they've just released their own trailer for it(and i'm on the front of the Northern Echo!) I thought it wouldn't hurt to post a screen shot of myself.

There i am, right in the middle of the shot.

And there i am again!

Bulova Modelling Competition

So i'm a finalist in a modelling competition! Who knew?! A few weeks ago i had to go down to London for a photoshoot at Spring Studios, then a couple of days afterwards i heard that i was in the final six. There were originally 1000 applicants!

The photoshoot was amazing, champagne and everything, a very surreal day.

Now it has gone to public vote, and the winner becomes the new face of Bulova watches! So.....please vote for me here!

Heretic Teaser Trailer number 2

The new teaser for Heretic is out, the independent horror film i did in Leeds last summer, and this one features me rather heavily. I think they must be doing one for each of the characters.

McDonald's

A while ago i went down to Sheffield to audition for a special Olympics McDonald's advert that's running in July.
Then i had to go down to London for a wardrobe call, where i thought i would have to be wearing a union jack cap, union jack t-shirt and union jack shoes. It was a little excessive, but luckily when i got to Sheffield it was much more toned down.

It was a surreal day, i'd stayed overnight in a hotel down the road, a taxi picked me up at 7am, got to the stadium and went into costume and makeup, then sat in the stands while they set up the cameras.
Then the extras arrived, and there were so many of them! It was a little daunting, especially when the director had to announce to everyone that i couldn't whistle and needed someone to teach me.

I finished filming at about half ten in the morning, but i knew one of the camera assistants because he worked on Heretic, and he told me everyone else was there until half eleven at night.
Very surreal all together!

 

Geronimo Costumes

Once again i have neglected my blog terribly. I spent most of May working as Wardrobe Assistant for a play on at the ARC called Geronimo. Really i should have put up the poster before the play was on to advertise it, but i'm very forgetful when it comes to this blog!
Here's the poster anyway!

I think doing costume jobs like this, i was working with the production designer who had a very good idea about what she wanted, but it was interesting interpreting it all myself, and trying to find clothes that worked well.
And they seemed happy with the results.
I also got to see my friend Bill Fellows after the last performance, who was very encouraging about my decision to move to London this summer (I'll explain later), we're even going to the Groucho Club when i'm there!!

1950 Something with Natalie

For another part of the 19-something project, we were working on a 1950s style photo. We planned on shooting two models (bang bang), but the model dropped out so once again we were just left with me.

To solve this problem, we went wig shopping and went halves on a platinum blond wig, which looked amazing!

We were using the little Triumph sports car again, but wanted a more fun feel to the pictures. Natalie was able to borrow lots of nice vintage dresses and we shopped for the rest.
I tried doing my makeup to look as different as i could from the other photos, so i filled in my lips in a different shape, used different eye makeup etc.
I really love all the colours in this shoot, and the red lipstick really matches the colour of the car! I'm so excited to see the full project!

I think some of the photos on the car bonnet look like part of a beauty shoot, i'll have to get some more off Natalie, but for now, here's some of the first edits:
