MUMMIES BIRTHDAY!

Last Thursday was my lovely Mama's birthday so I was delighted to be able to extend my work trip to Scotland so I could spend the with her! And boy did we fit allot in!!

First we visited the "Fascinating Mummies Exhibition" at the National Museum of Scotland and spent TWO HOURS walking around it!! Highly recommended! Then we went for lunch at Dean Gallery and nipped across the road to the Gallery of Modern art to see the "Sculpture Show". Then we enjoyed a swim, steam, sauna and massages! Finally I cooked us all fillet steaks for dinner. I think she enjoyed her day!



My Mummie!

 I flew home on Friday and it was a beautiful clear day to fly, as you can see here:

This past weekend was quite a quite one for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it!! On Saturday I shot with the lovely Catherine Day for my awesome sponsor www.vivienofholloway.com , I look forward to seeing the results!

Sunday was a truly lovely day spend with my man doing all my favourite things including going to the Carboot sale and eating pork belly roast dinner! Here are some of my carboot sale finds:

 The rest of this week has been spend tidying up and re-arranging my flat......and it is quite a job!! I still have a few days left of sorting I reckon!

 Finally here are a few nice shots from my show at "Carnival Devine" in Manchester a couple of weekends ago!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

Valentines week was super lovely and super busy for me this year! It started on Monday with a really lovely early Valentines dinner with my man (as I was performing away from home on the actual day) and loads of romantic treats along the way!

On Tuesday it was Valentines and I performed at the lovely "Kiss Me Burlesque" put on by the lovely Tahlula Blue, in Leicester. It was a very fun show and the line up included Mama Jenufa, Miss Phoenix and Talulah Blue.

 On Thursday I was shooting a location shoot for my wonderful sponsor www.vivienofholloway.com. Here is a sneak peek of the beautiful location! My old friend the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham!

On Friday I travelled to Manchester for the sold out "Carnival Devine". I have not performed at this show for well over a year and it was a delight to be back!! The wonderful cast included Em Brulee, Scarlett Daggers, Pixie Le Knot, Fanny Devine and Mia Merode. I was also delighted to be the poster girl for the second time (I love their designs!).

Dinner on the road!

 The next afternoon (after a very rare lie in at Fanny Devine's house!) I caught the train to Leeds for the always FABULOUS "Wet Spot", one of my fave shows to perform at and the second sell out show of the weekend!

The line up included Ryvita Von Cheese, Joe Black, Cat Aclysmic, Beau Rocks, Bijou Noir, Jeu Jeu La Foille and Ruby Jones! I enjoyed the show and a nice catch up with old faces after!

Backstage at the Wet Spot! Cat, Jeu Jeu, Beau & me!

After four hours sleep I was back on a train home! I am now enjoying a quite, relaxed night in before I fly to Edinburgh for an exciting photo shoot.....watch this space.

DOLLFACE

Last week was crazy busy for me as I was filming, for four days just outside London, a new NFTS short film "Dollface" by Louis Paxton and Krysty Wilson-Cairns. I played Lilly the lead female role.
