Me and my posy…
Posed for West End’s local photographer Patrick Sherlock. He is putting together an photographic exhibition on West End and it’s many interesting characters. You can read all about it here.
While it was an awesome experience that I was lucky enough to share with some of my favorite peeps there are some things that as I get older I notice a little more.
These are some of the things I now know for sure after the modeling gig:
It is hard work to look pretty-as in my legs and abs killed me on Sunday morning from sitting in the same position for a long period of time. I really do have a new found respect for professional modes.
My usual mascara+blush+lady danger does not = photo ready face and It takes ages to put make up on and requires an expert or two in the art of make up to look good for the camera.
Mac lashes do not include the glue that it’s needed to stick them on your eyes and the glue available at the supermarket it’s meant to last for 15 days. ( So not suitable if your are planning a 30 day yoga challenge)
You should always brush your teeth before putting lipstick on and not afterwards…(thanks Channy)
Drinking champagne during the shoot does not make you more relaxed…it just makes you drunk!
No matter how much time and expensive eye remover it’s used to remove the make up you still wake up looking like a panda the next morning.
I am including some cool pictures taken by Keith while I we were getting ready and some taken with the hipstamatic of channy and Fez this was by far the best part of the day…
