This month has been an unexpected publication bonanza! As well as the beautiful Lacing Glamour book cover I'm also on the cover of issue 2 of the German Gothic Lifestyle Magazine with one of my favourite pictures of all time :)

I also have a big feature/interview inside but I've not seen a copy yet.

As well as that I also have a pic in the German Foto Magazine for a feature on Marla Rutherford, a full page in the new Bowens Litebook magazine, 2 full pages in the Spanish Sensuality Magazine for a feature on Maya Hansen corsets and I'm on a full page ad in this month's Scarlet Magazine for the new collection from Angels Carrying Savage Weapons. Phew!

( (big) scans under thee cut )

I think I forgot to post about the new Angelic Weapons collection actually.. it was shot several months ago around the streets of Nottingham but has only just become available. Many pretty clothes! And the shoes were so hot! Can't find any bigger pics than these at the minute though:

Following on from my previous update regarding the impending sleepover at Stansted airport... thanks to the decision to get a National Express coach to the airport instead of the fast train I managed to get absolutely no sleep at all before the 6am flight. Usually I manage about 3 hours - yes I'm actually tight enough to have done 6am Stansted flights more than once. Curse you Ryanair and your £5 flights - which seems to be just enough to keep me from going temporarily nuts. The effect on my brain from being unable to sleep was rather interesting - I actually became a little delerious, complete with minor hallucinations, inability to complete a sentence and finding stupid things really hilarious. Thankfully my partner in travelling crime was equally affected so I was not a lone moron on the plane. I managed to sleep for most of the flight and the coach from Lubeck airport into Hamburg though, which my brain was very thankful for. Upon arrival in Hamburg around 10am we were met by Voivodess. Unfortunately we were so tired we then spent the rest of our first day in Hamburg in a state of semi-conciousness on an inflatable matress with a fast puncture. It's a form of torture.

Anyhoo sleep found us eventually and day 2 in Hamburg was spent visiting some sights, including the St Nikolai church ruins. The weather wasn't great (read: bloody freezing, damp and grey) but it was still a pretty cool view from the top of the tower.

The next day we car-pooled to Berlin to meet up with baudot and for halloween the 4 of us went to Feenfest. We managed to get a wee bit pissed and I think I won 'stupidest drunk' prize of the evening by setting my hair on fire. There's really nothing like the smell and sound of hair burning next to your ear combined with the drunken delayed reactions of your companions telling you your head is a-flame. It was on my short hair side though so the damage wasn't too bad...

We also visited the Pergamon Museum again (was there very briefly in june). It's the first time I've done an audio guide, it made a huge difference and I saw many things I would usually have overlooked! I'm no good with words so I won't even try to describe how amazing this place is. So inspired to make more drawings :)

The trip back to Hamburg is worth a small mention by itself... Voivodess had befriended a couple who were also looking to travel from Berlin to Hamburg on the same day as us and as a party of 5 we could get a group ticket which would be 8 euros each between us instead of 70 euros each seperately. However this meant we weren't allowed to take the 1.5 hour fast train but instead had to make 3 changes on the daftest most indirect route around obscure parts of Germany, totalling 6 hours.

But the story doesn't end there! We finally got onto the last connection only to have it terminate in Lubeck instead of Hamburg. No explanation or annoucement from anyone, the staff at the train station were as confused as the many passengers who had been travelling to Hamburg, who all stood around the empty station looking confused, tired and cold. Some of the passengers had obviously been to some sort of Anime/Manga convention and were still dressed up in Cosplay gear, it was a sight! The situation wouldn't have been so bad had it not been after midnight at this point and the entire station was deserted and about to close. There was one last train to Hamburg at 00:40 to save us from another night of no-sleep. Felt sorry for people who had been catching other connections in Hamburg though ><.

So ends my very brief overview of adventures in german-land. And now, for some silly photos! I just dumped my camera memory card so these actually start off from latest travels in Northumberland and Scotland before getting to Hamburg and Berlin.

( under a cut, there's quite a few... )



(Thanks to baudot for the last few :)

Off to get a coach to Stansted airport in about an hour, coach gets in just after 1am, flight to Hamburg leaves at 6am. Not sure yet if I'm going to attempt to sleep or just drink a lot of caffiene. We're spending a couple of days in Hamburg and then going to Berlin for a halloween party, though I'm sorely lacking in a costume so far!

But I did just accidently dye my hair fluorescent orange about 20 minutes ago. Not my usual bright coppery orange, but full-on molten lava mixed with nuclear waste sort of orange. I'm not 100% sure if I like it or not yet. It certainly looks as if it will stain everything I come into contact with.

For now, I will leave LJ land with the first shots from the one shoot I did on my holiday in Paris. Another reason that Paris is fabulous - no-one tried to stop us or ask us to leave, despite the fact we had semi-transparent outfits on and full giant light. We did attract quite a crowd of followers too though, including paparazzi photographers! I think maybe they thought we were more important than we were! haha.

( here are some behind the scenes pics too! :) )

The guy in the last pic had nothing to do with the shoot whatsoever, he just decided to follow us around for about 20 minutes taking photos!

Got back to London yesterday from another portion on the European tour-athon. This time less glamourous but still an adventure of sorts, firstly to Glasgow for a couple of days and then Newcastle and surrounding areas of Northumberland. Newcastle to visit my parents for the first time in almost a year, with a day trip to Barter Books and the castle in Alnwick. The former is one of the largest second hand bookstores in the UK, housed in the old train station. I'm particularly fond of the toy train that runs around the top of some of the bookshelves and the open log fire to sit and read next to. Managed to limit my spending to an illustrated hardback of the Plague Dogs and a History of Erotic Literature. haha.

I think I forgot to mention in my last entry that I stumbled quite by accident upon Cecil Court in London not long before we left for Glasgow. It's a wonderful little street close to Charing Cross, where every single shop is a second hand/rare/antiquarian book store with a Victorian frontage, it's wonderful! They even have one that specialises in illustrated children's books, where I stood with a goffy excited grin on my face. I don't think many people know that I am rather into late 19th/early 20th century book illustration. Most of my favourite artists specialised in children's fairytale books.

But anyhoo, back to the trip! Got to Glasgow via a stopover in Edinburgh where I met uglydiamonds new puppy, which was perhaps the most adorable creature I've ever met. She clung to my face like an excitable little face-hugger and tried to eat my hair. The next day off to Glasgow to meet up with Grant and Kristan Morrison (Grant Morrison, who is such an eloquent speaker I was pretty much awestruck and quietly mourned my own complete lack of conversational skill ><). Extra thanks to Kristan for showing Allan and I around Glasgow (particularly the Museum of Transport! hehe).

And we're off to Hamburg tomorrow! So I'll be spending Halloween in Germany. Hopefully going to fit a day or 2 in Berlin in there too :)

I didn't get a chance to check my email much for most of the past 2 weeks, so it was rather a nice surprise to have this in my inbox! It's the cover of Bibian Blue's new book 'Lacing Glamour', published by Norma Editorial. It's being released this week at the 2009 Salon del Manga de Barcelona:

I had some idea that the second outfit we shot was going to be on a cover as it was vaguely mentioned after the shoot but I haven't been allowed to see the shot until now! (The first of the 2 outfits was the equally cool 'Black Lace' I wrote about HERE :)

Haven't had a chance to properly collect my thoughts and do a proper update on what I've been up to recently! Mostly as I've been away on actual proper holidays in France, I had such a good time! Have been basking in the glow of several 'to-do list' ambitions achieved, including visiting the Louvre (absolutely wonderful and I only saw about 1/5 of it!), Notre Dame cathedral and I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. I wasn't quite prepared for the sheer scale of the last 2, pictures really don't convey the impact felt upon walking around a corner and being confronted by these epic structures.

We also made a day trip to the tiny medieval town of Provins, which was picteresque in a lovely fairytale romantic sort of way. Also being non-tourist season and during the week, the place was absolutely deserted. Made a nice change after several days of extreme busy activities in the heart of Paris.

After Provins, jumped on a bus to Monetereau to spend another glorious 2 days relaxing at Le Cabartbey. Fell asleep under a tree in the garden with the sun shining down. Bliss..

( and now for some selected holiday pictures!! )

Back to London for a couple of days, frantically trying to catch up on all my emails and other work related internet stuff! Not quite there yet but almost! Have a bunch of new pictures to put on my website as well as a couple of new tearsheets and stuff (I made a feed for when I add new stuff like that to my website if anyone is interested! ulorinvex_news :)

My favourites of my newest pics are these ones by photographer John Tisbury. They were shot about 1.5 months ago (ish). I don't really do a lot of 'bondage' themed stuff anymore but I really liked the idea of having a rope attached to the ceiling to use to pose with, it made possible quite a few poses that would have been impossible otherwise!

I wrote this entry on my laptop on October 8th sans interweb connection and didn't have time to post it before I left for Paris...

Just back from 2 days modelling for Yerbury seminars once again at Maunsel House. The first day was Boudoir and the second Fetish/Fashion with both myself and anitadebauch. Stayed at the local Premier Inn where I was mildly excited to discover that both Twitterfox and Skype bypass the pay-per-hour internet and work for free.

Euro-tour plans are now well under way! Off to Paris tomorrow morning for a week, with plans to visit the Louvre, Notre Dame and that tower they have there ;p Also shooting for HMS Latexs new 'Arabia' collection which should be cool. I saw a couple of the outfits at TG last weekend and they're so pretty (lots of handpainted panels). Then to Provins via croissants with jam and asking people if their cat speaks French (if not, why not?).

Apres le France, current travels are roughly like so (mostly for my own mental organisational purposes!)

October 28th - November 2nd: Hamburg, DE
November 8th-12th: Barcelona, ES
November 17th-24th: Rome, IT
November 24th-26th: Venice, IT
December 1st-3rd: La Rochelle, FR

Now to the titular subject... got my copy of Myrmidon from the parcel depot several days ago. I probably already mentioned in recent days past that myself and Taslimur are on the front cover of allan_amatos book of very very pretty photos. I'm also on few images inside, invading houses with a large sooty broom and other such things.


(More details HERE ;))

Just got back home from an afternoon spent at Portobello Road (street where the riches of ages are stowed), after breakfast at the S & M Cafe. They do great cups of makes-my-hands-shake-after-one-mug coffee. Which is how I rate coffee. I prefer tea for tastiness value. I love Portobello, it's a massive sensory overload of old stuff that I want for no reason other than it looks cool. Like brass bugles, binoculars and boxes of antique skeleton keys! When I ever have my own non-rented abode it will be filled with such things and I shall lounge on my leather couch wearing tweed and reading a musty old copy of Le Morte D'Arthur illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley.

Now I am having a small rest before heading off to Mass to rehearse for the fashion show I'm modelling in tonight at Torture Garden. Still haven't figured out what I'm wearing before/after the show though ><.

Today's decorate-the-blog pictures courtesy of threnodynvelvet, shot for Lulu & Lush. These were shot literally the day after I got back from my last trip to LA at the beginning of September, I was so jetlagged I could barely keep my eyes open! But Morgana always manages to make me look nice! :)

Ach! Once again travelling shennanigans have been making me put off the updating of livejournal, to the point where I have way too much to write in one entry! I just got back from a mini-break in Edinburgh, firstly modelling for a YERBURY seminar and then a couple of days a-touristing with venuswept. We spent much time repeating to each other how beautiful a city it is, touring the castle and being rained upon. uglydiamond was our most gracious host, though I still did not get a lap dance dagnammit :p She did take us on a tour of Mary Kings Close though, which was pretty cool.

The week before that I spent a day in Diss near Norwich modelling on location for Julia Holland and Simon Revill. It was in and around a fabulous (and huuge) old barn full of bits and pieces of old furniture, all covered in inches of dust and cobwebs. I have a few images to post soon!

For now though, I've been waiting to post these new pics for Lady Lucie Latex for a little while! Been holding off until Lucies new website went live (which it did at the beginning of the week and can be seen in all its glory aqui).

I have been working in collaboration with Amelia Arsenic trying out her new makeup range of crazy bright colours, which I'm really excited about! This was the first proper shoot where I've used the makeup but I've still to do an actual dedicated shoot to showcase the makeup properly (sooooon!). I'll hopefully be doing some shoots focussed on the makeup this month and posting them along with some reviews of the different products! :)

All moved into my new abode! 'Twas an amazingly painless and uneventful move, apart from the bit where I dropped a futon on my head. That hurt quite a lot but was also amusing.

So I am now based south of the river in a lovely place that will be my base of operations for the next few months while I bounce backwards and forwards around Europe. I've been wanting to take some time out to visit places in Europe for such a long time, I'm really rather excited :) I'm off to Edinburgh next week to model for a Yerbury Classic Nude workshop (I believe there is 1 place left if anyone is interested ;) and then spending a couple of extra days in the city and staying with uglydiamond.

After than, a week in Paris with no work at all. Staying with hurtmeso for a few days and then a pretty villa about 40 minutes outside the city. Hoping to spend a day in Provins too (can't believe I'd never heard of this place until I was researching places near Paris. It's a World Heritage site, looks so gorgeous!). I'll try and take lots of photos :) After that I have Rome, Tuscany, Athens, Barcelona, Istanbul and various Eastern European places on my list but haven't booked any of those yet.

Got sent a few pics from the shoot I did for Heavy Red Clothing while I was in LA. I'm kinda fond of them as this is almost exactly how I looked/dressed when I was about 16 (except I had black hair back then!)

Not been up to much else. Did one shoot last friday for both Drac In a Box clothing and for Lady Lucie all in one day. Special thanks to ruby_redxxx who did a great job with my hair and also helped modelling a few of the outfits as I ran out of time! Should have pics soon :)

Today I managed to not wake up until 2pm, after going to sleep at 5.30am. Oopsie daisie ><. I was woke up by the postman though, who was making another attempt to deliver two of my wayward parcels I mentioned yesterday (or actually this morning). So there's only one unaccounted for now. Hope it turns up before I move out on Saturday!

Off to stay over at goth_amaltheas shortly with skin_diamond for a girly night in, might have a day out at the Westfield shopping centre tomorrow if I get all my stuff packed in time. Then I'm shooting some new goodies for Lady Lucie and Drac In a Box on friday.

Got a few new pics too shot by Julian Kilsby at the Gallerino workshop I modelled for recently in Yorkshire. These are my favs but there's a few more on his blog here too :)

The hair styling was by threnodynvelvet (I shot with her the day before and didn't have time to wash my hair before getting on the train to the workshop! It lasted rather well though!).

Returned to London from Norway this afternoon. Had an amazing time! Special thanks to Margretha Østerdal, who arranged the whole weekend and made sure we were well looked after!

Flew back via Liverpool airport. I don't know why it is that when I hear strong accents I very quickly pick them up and my own accent changes. Had to make a concious effort to stop speaking Scouse, which I could only do by slipping back into my own native Georgie with avengence. I'd love to know the workings of my brain that control this!

No doubt I will be back to my usual way of speaking by tomorrow (tomorrow which is today). Why it's 4am and I don't care, I'm not shooting for the next 2 days. Though I do need to pack my entire worldly posessions away as I'm moving house on the weekend to a most delightful new abode. I also need to run a bunch of errands due to online banking fail and housemate even more fail (apparently my housemates didn't know my name and have been telling the postman I don't live here! *tears out hair*). But I'm beginning to waffle...

What I actually wanted to post about was some cool new pics. I love it when I totally forget about a good shoot, resulting in pleasant surprise upon forgotten images' arrival in my inbox.

I don't know if anyone remembers I briefly mentioned shooting an editorial for Coilhouse Magazine during my last stay in LA? These were shot after the editorial, with a quick change of hair. Couldn't waste the awesome location that is The Edison! :)

I also just got a copy of the new issue of Marquis Magazine where I have 5 full page images for Starkers Corsetry and Girl Armour which is kinda cool :)

( scans under here if anyone is interested! )

First things first. Heavy rain + open skylight above bed whilst out at a shoot = fail. I'd like to blame exhaustion and jetlag for my current swamp-like matress but actually I'm just not very bright.

Now I have that out of my system, hello world of livejournal. Absence of recent updates mostly due to my having spent 3 glorious weeks in LA watching films, consuming my body weight in chocolate Hagen Daaz icecream, becoming addicted to the WoW trading card game, enjoying art shows and parties and many more delightful things. Shot some cool new pics for Steampunk Couture and a fashion shoot for Coilhouse Magazine too.

To balance out the happy calm and relaxation, I flew back to the UK on September 5th and proceeded to shoot for the next 3 days, lagging behind the jet on 1 hour of sleep and many cups of coffee (I'm not even exaggerating). I think I managed to blag it ok. haha. First was a new lot of goodies for FairyGothMother/ Lulu & Lush with threnodynvelvet and then a trip to Yorkshire for a 2 day workshop. When I finally got back to Londinium I slept for 13 hours, but still seem to be on West Coast US time.

I would post some of the pics from all these shoots but I'm currently in Norway for 4 days (2 days modelling, 2 days travelling) and am borrowing the photographers laptop. It's really beautiful here, and despite wind and rain, not half as cold as I was expecting. There's so much space! The population of the whole of Norway is less than 5 million (for comparison - I'm pretty sure in London alone there are around 7.5 million people).

I flew from Liverpool airport to Oslo on friday and we drove a few hours to Farsund, where we're staying in a rather cool hotel called Lista Fly Park. It's a former airport and military base, I can see an empty aircraft hanger if I climb out of my window :) I'm here primarily to model for photographer Damian McGillicuddy, who is here to talk about his photography and demonstrate how he works. The actual event/convention type thing is tomorrow, with today being our day off to sight-see but we couldn't resist taking the opportunity to shoot in the morning :)

Freshly shot this morning, while back at the hotel my matress was filling up with rain water...

I'll probably be posting quite a lot more work with Damian soon-ish. We have shot a few rather exciting things that I'm not allowed to talk about quite yet!

Have been in LA since August 13th, mostly avoiding the interwebz and eating a lot of food. Good stuff! Highlights of said culinary activities so far including rattlesnake & rabbit hotdogs, marrowbones and the largest juiciest pork chop I ever did see. Yeah vegetarian I am not. Haven't really been doing much in the way of work, but had my first photoshoot in some weeks early this morning, for Steampunk Couture. 8am pick up for the drive to Vasquez Rock, which was awesome all by itself, kind of like a Martian surface in sandy shades instead of red. I took a couple of pics on my camera but haven't got the cabel to upload them till I'm back in the UK next month. Kato (the designer) did a very quick behind the scenes preview-type video though... :)



I'm shooting a fashion story for Coilhouse Magazine this coming week which is going to be fantastic, but won't say more until it's done and published!

Now for movie night and excessive amounts of icecream and grilled cheese...

Good morning Livejournal! I realised I've been getting up in a very timely fashion recently, even these couple of days where I haven't been working I've been awake and out of bed before 8am. I feel rather productive and have been getting quite a bit of drawing done too. Hurrah!

Another 2 days of modelling work this weekend, then I'm on holiday for the best part of a month *boogie*

I'm able to post the new pics for Fairygothmother/Lulu & Lush now they're up on the site. I really like them :) And quite pleased with my hair styling efforts for once!

( a few more... )

About facebook.. first of all THIS isn't me. I do have a facebook, but it's not under my modelling name and it's private. It's the only social networking profile that I have purely to keep in touch with my 'real life' friends and I cherish this. Apparently my not having an 'official' facebook page is "just helping the fakers" Well.. I have an 'official' myspace and there are still at least 12 fakers there. LOL. I dislike the phrase 'official', it makes me think of organisations and governing bodies, I'm just me.

Incidently, I will add anyone on my myspace profile, I have a completely public Twitter that anyone can follow and I have this delightful Livejournal you are reading right now that anyone can post comments on (and I read and respond to most of them). I don't want yet another place to publish the same pictures and updates that can already be seen here! :P

Just a quick post to say that DIVA Magazine spread that I wrote about recently (here!) is out today. The one where I was semi-naked in a pond in Epping Forest. All is revealed!

The theme of the opening double-page was an all-girl remake of a Bow Wow Wow EP cover, which itself was based on Manet's painting 'Le dejeuner sur l'herbe'.

I've just been told that Manet's painting was actually based on a lost painting by Raphael called The Judgement of Paris, which is known of through an engraving made by Marcantonio Raimondi. And Rapheal may have based his work on a sketch by Da Vinci. And as well as that, Picasso also based several works on Manet's!

Unfortunately for reasons that totally escape me I've been credited as 'Kris'. I did write down both my real name and modelling name for them too. Oh well :/

Just got home from my trip to County Donegal modelling for Eamonn Farell of Photocall Ireland. I hope this doesn't come across as terribly smug, but I'm having one of those 'I love my job' moments! I met Eamon and his assistant, Nancy Pineda at Londonderry airport around 4pm on Sunday and we drove an hour or so to Portsalon, where we were staying for the trip in a lovely little cottage. Went out for dinner at the restaurant down by the pier then back to the cottage to discuss the plan of action for the next 2.5 days.

The first day started off with rather a lot of rain, which proved quite useful in allowing us to have the beach all to ourselves! Wikipedia tells me the beach at Portsalon was voted the second most beautiful in the world. Having not been to every beach in the world I couldn't say, but out of those I've been to it definitely ranks pretty high! I don't think there was one place we shot at that the whole trip I wouldn't describe as stunning. Due to the rain we were limited to shooting mostly in the mouth of a cave, but I did brave a few minutes in the rain and under a small fall of water running off the top of the cave mouth. It was actually a pretty mild day and I didn't even feel that cold, it made being naked-on-a-beach-in-the-rain quite plesant!

After lunch we ventured out again to an inland location (afraid I've forgotten the name!) which started off with me posing nude stretched out next to a pretty stone wall surrounded by heather. Getting up to change pose, I noticed what I thought was dirt all over one arm and leg but upon closer inspection realised I was covered in little deer ticks! I have never seen so many ticks all at once! Thankfully I recognised what they were straight away from back when I was a fieldwork assisstant in the Scottish highlands (yeah I really should have remembered they live in the heather!), and brushed most of them away before they got over the shock of having such an easy meal thrust upon them. Still had to tweeze a few from my legs later in the evening though! lol.

The second day was probably my favourite. I can't even remember what we shot in the morning now, as the whole day was made by getting to swim in the ocean at Drumnacraig beach. I'd been posing in the water and was surprised at how (relatively) mild it was and couldn't resist having a swim when we'd finished shooting. The water was so clear you could see right to the bottom, and the sun even came out to help me dry off. I felt invigorated for the rest of the day!



( edit: found my camera cable, here are some pics I took, and a couple from Nancy )

Today was the last day of work, up for a 7am start to shoot at an abandoned cottage, again at the coast. After the cottage shot we moved down to a small cove for a last couple of water shots - I should have a comedy photo to post soon of me fishing out a large piece of unphotogenic sheep skin from the water, wearing nothing but a pair of paddling shoes (me, not the sheep skin - I'm just not that great with grammar).

Lastly we climbed up to the rocky area above the cove to do some latex fashion shots, made an interesting contrast to the rest of the work we'd done!

Fantasy fish hunter poised for the kill! This is just a small preview I pinched from the photocall website... I'll post some examples of the art nude work soon too :)

Dress: Blacklikorish Latex



Yes, it was just as difficult as you would imagine it would be to pose on that rock surface in that dress and those heels! :p

After that it was back to the airport and the inevitable security stop when the people doing the X-Ray can't tell what the 8 inch platforms are in my bag! I have the next 2 days off for a bit of a rest! :)

Arrived home early evening yesterday from shooting an advert with Damian McGuillicuddy, something to do with DMLS light modifiers. It involved me standing in Chester city centre in lingerie and a Where's Wally-esque bobble hat. All will be revealed quite soon! lol. I was supposed to meet up with several people afterwards when I got back but we finished later than I thought and messed my plans up a bit. So I've let Madame Bink down for something like the 6th time now and also wont be seeing my sister for 2 months now even though it's our birthday in a few days :( My work-life balance really sucks at the moment, I've been travelling to or at shoots 6 days a week, sometimes 7. I am looking forward to going on holiday with that feeling I used to get as a child at Christmas! haha.

Friday was a days shooting with rootofsilence for Fairygothmother/Lulu & Lush which I really enjoyed. Lots of gorgeous Mimi Holliday lingerie and Lulu & Lush's own label girdles/stockings as well as a couple of pretty bridal corsets. I managed to do a pretty decent job of my own hair for once! In a stroke of super efficiency I've already been through all the images and sent them off to Sam FGM for approval but will have to wait till they're approved and on the online shop before I can show them.

And this afternoon I fly out to Londonderry for 2.5 days shooting in County Donegal with Eamonn Farrell. It's going to be pretty hard work but it's great to be getting to visit Ireland again so soon. And I've never been anywhere but Dublin before so extra cool! I'm staying in a beautiful little cottage and have been instructed to bring bathing gear for a swim in Lough Swilly should I want to (yes! lol). Will take my camera!

Now for a multitude of images from the Yerbury Classic Nude workshop from last week! Had a particularly good group of delegates this time! I've kindly been sent loads of images already from Simon Revill and Julia Holland as well as a couple via the Yerburys' blog. These are my favourite picks so far but there are quite a few more on my website here too :)

From Julia Holland:

Had a great day yesterday modelling for another Yerbury Classic Nude workshop! Made a mistake about it being the last in the UK though, rather it is the last in the UK this year! Arrived at Maunsel House at 9.30am and as usual Faye got to work making mine and Lozie's hair all fabulous with her trademark fingerwaves (which I have duly blasted with maximum hold hairspray in the hopes of having fabulous hair for a couple more days!).

The day followed the usual format whereby Faye and Trevor demonstrate how they work in the morning, then the delegates set up thier own shots in the afternoon. I think this is the 4th time I've modelled for this workshop at Maunsel and it never gets old! I still haven't seen every room or every cool bit of taxidermy or antique weaponry lying around! Though today we spent quite a lot of time shooting in the grounds too. I discovered I can do the crab position (yogic, not karma sutra :p) much easier on a bench than on the flat ground, as I could push up with my weedy arms easier whilst gripping the edge of the bench. I hope some of the photographers send me pics of that!

I've already been sent one lovely pic from delegate Simon Revill but I'll wait before posting it till I have a few more examples from the day. I'm starting to build up quite a backlog of new pics from recent shoots that I haven't posted yet! I've been published in/on a few cool things this month too that I didn't write about here for one reason or another - I decided to change the News and Updates page on my webite into an RSS feed (ulorinvex_news or Here's the .xml) for anyone who wants to know when I add new pics and/or small bits of information to my website that I don't write about here! No idea how well it works yet as I just made it myself last night when I was having an art block. lol.

First lot of new pics follows on somewhat from my last post, where I mentioned a bigger pic to follow. It arrived sooner than I thought! :)

And I finally got to shoot a naked-with-helmet pic! It's been on my to-do list since I started semi-collecting them over a year ago :D

Today was another day of early mornings and beautiful landscapes, this time the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, specifically the beaches at Llanwit Major and Dunraven Bay. Caught the 06:50 train to Cardiff and got a lift from there to the first location. We started off with art nudes against the cliffs while the tide was still quite high but switched to a latex dress later in the day when people started to show up! I think I'm going to have to go back to Dunraven Bay sometime too, the cliffs were fantastic. Apparently the coastline is also pretty good for fossil hunting :)

Next Tuesday I'm modelling again with Lozie for another Yerbury Classic Nude Workshop at Maunsel House. Just found this info page on Lozie's site with more details for anyone who is interested :) CLICKITY!. I didn't realise it was going to be the last of the Yerbury Nude workshops held in the UK! Some of my favourite nudes have come from the workshops at Maunsel. I'm sure wherever the workshops will be held in the future will be equally cool though.

Also wanted to share this fab new pic by Allan Amato. These are kinda preview portraits from lighting tests for a bigger picture to follow, they make me giggle so much...

I don't think I say it very often, but right now I'm full of appreciation for my job and how much I love what I do. I just got back from 2 days shooting in County Wicklow (near Dublin) with photographer Des Barry. I arrived in Dublin around 07:30 on Tuesday morning after spending the night in Stansted Airport (the first train to Stansted didn't arrive until after my flight closed). Actually found myself a relatively comfy bench and managed a record full 4 hours sleep (yes I have slept at Stansted more often than you would think, I'm not the only one!). Flight only cost £1 return including taxes!.

Got a taxi to Des's place and had makeup done by a lovely MUA whose name I can't recall right now for some reason! I will update when I remember. Then we headed out to shoot for the day, ignoring the almost monsoon-like rainfall in the hopes it would clear up by the time we got to the first location. It did clear up somewhat but it was still incredibly windy in the morning, the first shots were on a beach and I could barely stand from the force of the wind coming off the sea! By the afternoon it was much better though, there was even quite a lot of sunshine. We went to Mount Usher Gardens and shot some gorgeous pics there. Wednesday we spent most of the time shooting at Sally Gap and Lough Tay - the scenery here is absolutely stunning, it made me happy :) I'd love to go hiking there at some point.

Headed back to the airport for a 21:30 flight, which was of course delayed. By the time I got through passport control at Stansted I missed the train that would get me back to London in time for the last tube home by about 3 minutes so had to get a bunch of nightbuses. Have to say, London nightbuses are a fantastic thing and I have much respect for the drivers.

Yesterday was a quiet day, quick visit to Metropolis to get my roots done (and altered my new purple bits to a slightly more reddish shade) then back home to go through a huge amount of images I got sent by photographer Gregory Brown from the Portugal trip. Took me ages! I didn't really narrow it done much but these are my favs (click for full view):
