After quite a long break, I've decided to start taking up modelling again: mostly for fun as there's a ton of other things I need to start focusing on - such as my long-term ambition to own a trampoline for example. I figured I might as well have some fun along the way, however. :) In short, I'm still in Brighton and have no plans on moving anytime soon. I've taken up ballet in an attempt to give myself arthritis by the time I'm 30, but it's helping to keep me fit for now.

Anyway, here's a sample of what I've been up to since the last update:

Since last updating, I went to a zombie group shoot in New Milton. It seems to be one of the manifestations of Murphy's Law that I always end up doing my location shoots when it's cold. If by some freak chance I get a shoot in summer, I seem to end up throwing myself into the sea or something.

Well, despite being silly enough to wear skimpy clothing and freezing myself into an attractive shade of blue, the shoot was lots of fun and I got to work with some lovely models and photographers. The photos I've had back so far are from LightnDarker.

I'm starting to think I could make a career out of being a temp - it seems to be the only thing that I'm both good at and that I seem to do on a regular basis! That said, however, the agencies haven't managed to find me work for this week as of yet, and I am currently sat at home very very bored. What I need is a diversion, but the only activity which is currently diverting me is sitting on the sofa watching the internet. Not healthy.

Still, it's Halloween/Samhain - officially my favourite day of the year. I need to go out in a bit to get the ingredients for a pumpkin stew (I'm going to attempt a recipe which is baked in the shell of a pumpkin!). HOpefully some fresh air will do me good... We're also going out to a ghostwalk with some good friends of ours, which will give me some exercise as well. Can't wait! :)

( a real ghost story for Halloween! )

Soo... enough about me. Has anybody else on here ever seen (or heard) a ghost?

I had a photoshoot the other day in order to get some decent headshots for acting purposes. I didn't want to look at all alternative, and basically set the makeup artist loose on me. Luckily we managed to fit in some fun stuff as well as the boring headshots, which means I have some nice pictures of my new hair in order to update my modelling portfolio.

It's a bit scary to see me with a completely different image, however!

I just got in today to find another CD arrived from the Brighton group shoot. Strangely, I've spent the last hour or so in the sea for the first time since the shoot!

These ones are from Geetee

I feel like I should update because I neglect this journal terribly... not a lot's been going on though. I've sold my soul to a typewriter for cold hard cash again, but luckily it's only temporary. Our flat is starting to look habitable - well, the so-called bedroom is still untamed, but one day we hope to make it into some form of study as we've got used to sleeping on the sofa bed!

I'm starting to organise all those shoots I've been putting off because of the move - pity they're all in Yorkshire and we're currently carless, but at least I love public transport - no really! I like nothing better than a long train ride with my ipod. :)

Anyway, here's another shot from the Brighton Group Shoot. This one's by Photodeviant.

Thanks to everyone for the response on the last picture. Will definitely put up some more from that shoot, once we've received the CDs, but for now I've decided to put up some photos from the shoot with matt_the_viking. Not sure how long it will take Photobucket to take a couple of them down, but decided to put them up anyway. :)

raven_blood has sort of stolen my thunder on this one, but I can't resist posting this up for the people who aren't on his friends list. :)

This was taken londonsam shortly after I threw myself into the sea fully dressed. Couldn't resist. ;P

We finally have internet access at home! Obviously I haven't really been able to check this at work (which has been in a legal firm) due to the content, so I hope I haven't missed anything on my friends list.

Things are going quite well in Brighton, although we've had to curtail our social life until we both got jobs. Luckily, that situation seems to have sorted itself out now, and we've managed a couple of nights out. The metal scene here is amazing. Not managed to make it to a goth night yet, but I'm sure I will. :)

Anyway, I've been dying to put up this particular piece by decline_gothica since he put it up on his journal, but as mentioned above, I've had to be careful about what I did online. This is definitely my favourite photo from my shoot with him - hope you like. :)

Might be offline for a bit as we move to Brighton in two days. I'm really looking forward to it, although being in imminent danger of getting crushed by stacks by boxes is not much fun...

Back soon!
