Back home from the workshop earlier, very tired but had a fantastic day! Maunsel House was an amazing place to shoot, just full of decadent bedrooms, bathrooms, gorgeous furniture and rather a lot of armour/weapons and taxidermy. I arrived slightly early which gave me a chance to wander around in the snow covered grounds a little. The landscape looked amazing in the snow. Didn't get to do any pics in the snow in the end as it all melted by the afternoon but the house was so cool it didn't matter.

I took a couple of quick snapshots of my own before I started modelling..













The morning was spent doing demonstrations with Faye and Trevor, with myself and Lozie taking turns to pose. Was really interesting to watch Lozie model, she has pretty much the opposite body shape to me (incredibly slender and petite, almost waifish, in a good way!) and the shapes made were different to those that I make. I was itching to take photos of her myself (if only I knew how to use a camera!)

After lunch we then split into 2 groups and the delegates set up their own shots. Managed to squeeze in some pics wearing my new latex dress from Lady Lucie at the end too. The green latex looked cool with my hair, kind of poison ivyish. I wore my white ballet heel shoes too. I'm sure I used to able to stand in them better than I could today. Don't know if it was because I was tired or because what muscle I had has turned to jelly since I've stopped walking for 30-40mins every day! Pics still looked cool from what I saw though :)

Shall be posting a selection of the results of the workshop over the next week or so!

In other news, I am "model of the month" over at Nocturnal Models. They did a small interview with me which I answered in my usual rubbish-at-interviews style. The little blurb they wrote about me was very kind though!

And also I'm published on a full page in this month's issue of Advanced Photoshop magazine with an image by Rebecca Parker. The main image is the 'before' pic with the final pic in the corner - I'm wearing my rather amazing made-to-measure corset from Starkers Corsets. I hadn't realised that my waist wasn't even altered in the final pic, it really is that shape closed! :)



I need to do some more shoots with it this year!
