General Housekeeping

Good grief I have been rather poor at blogging havent I?!

Well much has been happening. And I mean MUCH! From my very recent email asking me to lend my image to a new iPhone app (yet undecided on that one personally - more an android girl) to my plans to New York and Canada. Plus my new website is soon to be up and running. I may even have to close this blog and divert you all to my new site. It should be going live rather soon. Want to see a sneaky pic?


Isnt it wonderful? and far from finished. It is being made by a personal friend of mine called Matt Harvey. He is a talented lovely! I think I may have challenged him on this one but like a real trooper he rose to the occasion and has created something better than I could imagine! As well as webdesigner he is a talented artist. I love him...and and his missus.

So when this site goes live once a few techincal things have been sorted be sure to check it out!

Anyway so I am manic right now. I have sorted myself a small dance/rehearsal studio to use plus decided to rework the rabbit poison act. To be honest the whole 'oh-look-let-me-drink-that-and-i-will-remove-my-costume-thing' is overdoen now and on the words of a lovely Joe Black I am attempting to make the act more comedic with audience interaction that bit more without the need to leap on to their tables...which is something I need to suppress as sometimes I think it can make people see me as a crazy loon and only capable of doing that one style. Talking of styles I am putting together two new routines though admittedly one at a time...a new fan dance to some stunning music that most ladies will recognise the moment they hear it. I have already used it a number of years ago but want to bring the act back out of retirement with a new costume and a fresh attitude. The second routine will take much longer to perfect as the corset alone (another Vintage Lynndy Loo one off creation) has to be perfect so I can work it into the act... Think Mulan and you are almost there but still off the mark!

Right so ontop of all that I have travels to Canada and NYC to arrange.

AAAHH

So off I pop and promise to make more of an effort to keep in touch. For those you cant wait for the blog posts...why not join me on twitter? Click here to add me! I tend to twitter fairly often with added bonus images of tat every now and again.

Love

me!

Yorkshire And The Science

So after much formspring crap (see the questions below) I have decided to post a wee bloggy bit about my travels to Yorkshire and science museum antics.


Yorkshire was fantastic and proved to be a great location for me to practise my photography. Whitby proved to be very inspiring. From the ruined abbey, the clifftop graveyard to the crowds of shant singers and goths. Each step I took about the place made me want to whip out my camera (Nikon D90) and capture it all.

The whole place seems to be a crazy mixture of victorian gothic structures to tudor housing and cottages...juxtapositioned by the nasty 70s council tower blocks that almost ruined the landscape with the rolling moors behind. The abbey and the nearby graveyard on the cliff side is wonderful and rather sad. You can see why Bram Stoker set some of his world famous novel Dracula here. The graveyard is full of old extremely ornate grave stones with some sadly too weathered to read. What made it all the more sad was that tour groups were running and climbing over these gaves as though they were mere playthings or obstacles in a local play park. The concept that a few feet below them lay the remains of someones loved one was lost on most of them.

I have posted a few images below for you. Not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but I love them. As always images are copyright of ME! DONT STEAL! Like you would. LOL

my image of the abbey. Not edited though.

slightly edited.

Edited view of the back of the ruined abby. I love the flock of birds flying over.

Street performer. This guy was fantastic. He's traditional form of entertainiment included singing old sea shanties and working the puppet. I took alot of images of him that I have yet to edit. He really was a great subject to take images of.

Whitby over Easter held a scooter festival so the whole down was swarming with Mods. Fantastic change to the goths who usually own the town. I took some shoddy (sorry) images of a a few Mods. Though they look scary and slightly thug-ish they were lovely and adorably patient of me whilst I snapped away at them.

I was happy to return home though despite how relaxing Yorkshire was.

The following week saw me spending an evening at the Science Museum for one of their 'Lates' nights. This is where the museum (V&A also does it) stays open late on evening for an adult only affair with alcohol, lectures and music. I had a great time swanning about the joint.

You really should go if you get the chance. I did take some photos but cant remember where I put the SD card. Will hunt it down.

Love

PS the redesign of my website is going really well and it is almost ready to relaunch it. Will give you all a shout out when its ready.

what do you make of all these award type poll thingys... does it bother you not bieng nominated and having all of the web canvassing for votes or are you nominated often and have to hassle all your friends to vote for you . . . what do you make of it all?

I have been nominated for one poll and came 29th (though joint) in the top 50 burlesque stars of 2009 by a 21cp poll. To be honest I often feel that polls are won by those that have the most mates though this isnt always the case.

I am alittle dishearten when not placed but I guess it shows how much more work I need to do to get fore front in peoples minds. I will admit that I dont like hasseling people to vote for me and rather just show the competition than 'blackmail' people into voting.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!
