I'm sat on the train back from Nottingham. My hair is full of sand and I think I've got wind-burn. I spent the morning shooting on a beach in Lincoln with Morbidly Inclined. We were doing a mermaid shoot complete with metallic black lycra/spandex zentai. It was a strange looking outfit, which they've let me keep (wonder where I'll wear it...) but I was surprised by how good it looked on camera, it almost looks latex-like. And it's much easier to change into! I enjoyed working with them, and I got to meet their pet skunk (very cute and didn't smell).
It's been a busy couple of weeks. I spent a few days staying in Cambridge, which has quickly entered my list of 'places I wouldn't mind moving to'. The city has a fairy-tale quality to it, all pointy old red-brick buildings, turrets and towers. We didn't go punting (was a bit nippy) but did some good catching up with friends, baked cup-cakes and went to see some very funny sketch comedy.
Shot with Rod and Alex (Boykitten) for their Kink Couture book. Not that I wore any couture, I just ran around naked. We met up on the first day and tried out some shots involving a pixie-ish dagger they'd borrowed. It wasn't quite what I'd had in mind for my knife shoot, it was pretty but a bit too 'fantasy' style, more theatrical than functional. The next day Rod and Alex went to (un-named department store) and got £700's worth of Japanese Gould knives for us to use for the shoot. They were beautiful things, really rather massive and very shiny. Just the thing. They had the fun job of packaging them up afterwards to return to the shop the next day! We strung the knives up by rope in a row and I was lying below them, almost touching. It was kind of exhilerating though I couldn't help but think about how a loose rope could lead to one of the blades puncturing straight through my chest. Luckily they know what they're doing! I've seen some of the unedited pictures and they're really rather good, very striking. They're not quite 'knifeparty', I think that will need more than one model, but it's great to see your ideas take life. They're going to be really gorgeous, can't wait to see them.
Popped over to Norwich for a couple of days. Shot again with Frank of Limited Audience and also shot with Bondage Chronicles. It was my first time doing rainwear fetish (yes, macs and wellies), which is apparently their most popular website. First time for everything! I got to wear some massive waders, looked rather like a fisherman. They had such a lovely house, a massive gothic farm-house with purple walls, flowing black curtains and a giant fluffy dog who seemed more like a polar bear.
Bunker shoot tomorrow. It feels like I'm spending all my time on the train lately! Now I have my little netbook I atleast have some things to amuse me while I travel. Watched Mysterious Skin recently and now have more than a little bit of a crush on Joseph Gordon Levitt. He grew up a lot since Third Rock from the Sun! Sigh... Read Claudio Sanchez's new comic, Kill Audio (kl-audio anyone?), which is quite bizarre. Characters include a coked up chicken pimp, a pillow and a two-headed goth demoness. It's kinda like a twisted wizard of Oz. I'm getting back into my comics I think. I was in Forbidden Planet the other day and felt quite nostalgic.
Photo Miss Amelia Aventine took of me in Cambridge...

Graeme and I found this strange metal spoon-like thing in Tesco. We couldn't quite work out what to do with it...but had to do something! This will be on my advert for my bdsm cleaning service...
About a month and a half ago I spent a weekend with Graeme and Nikki shooting some ideas we had and some clothes for Nikki's shop. Here are some of the results:ok flickr doesn't like me so I can only post 2 more atm, wait for another post soon with more...
