Frocks and shocks

Fifes and Louella
Alice, Lee, Dave 
Lee, Dave, Fifes, Ali

You can't beat a damn good party for a bit of social bonding and feel-good cameraderie- What! I also love that most of my super-fantastic friends just adore the frolicking fun of dressing up. I only wish I could have 'papped' more people into the early hours, but you know how it is at parties - you get caught up in the social whirl of it all and leave the camera to chance! 

Well a totally fabuloso time was had by all and how brilliant that the birthday boy had absolutely no idea. 

In true celeb style, thanks and praise have to be given....so a big pat on the back to fussy Trussy for the use of his marvellous 'crib' and for organising those football boyz to keep 'stumm' and turn up on time - no mean feat indeed! Louella for her loveliness and helping hands - and to my glorious gal pals for all their lifting/carrying/cooking etc. Outfit of the evening has to go to Big Dave for coming(sic) as Hans the fetish queen! Most inebriated of the evening to Lord Tunney who was carried off the premises like a true blue Tory peer. Alice for looking (as always) impeccable in a haughty forties sort of way! Most imaginative of the evening to lushious Lee for his freakish take on the Joker. And total 'dressing up diva to 'you know who' for four changes of clothes - four!!! I don't think even Posh could carry that one off - god you are such an outfit whore.

Bring it on





Being a freelancer is full of not knowing....Not knowing when the work is going to come in...Not knowing what you're gonna to be working on....Not knowing who you're gonna be working with. It's living on a knife edge of stimulation and lethargy, feast and famine. Feeling down and poor one month and rich (well relatively) and uplifted the next. The thing is not to lose your nerve and believe in yourself, but it's a tough call in such troubled times and I've had lots of wobblies over the past few months. Self-belief comes from inner strength and knowing who you are and what you're capable of - in my case being a human swiss army knife! It's something that's constantly nurtured by the people you surround yourself with - and for me that's my family and all my wonderful, gorgeous friends – who are a constant source of joy and inspiration to me - especially you my lovely Louella. And that's why my positive energy levels are soaring today. I want to laugh, dance and sing because yes, yes, yes, the world is a wonderful place and I've been exploring the outer reaches of erectile dysfunction, retail hegemony and supercharged face creams all week. So bring on the weekend and lots of laughter, light relief and lasciviousness- oooo!!!!
