Birmingham Alt and Burlesque Fair

This weekend I was at the Heresy N Heelz Alt and Burlesque Fair, this was my third time at the event, although the first time I wasn't on stage.
I was promoting my good friends from TwistedPix on their stall, along with wonderful models Collette Von Tora and Miss Dakota Hunt who I have enjoyed working with quite a few times this year.
Me and Collette were clad in the awesome handmade harnesses by Lodovica Leather

We were also joined by Dea another TwistedPix model who was there to do some promo too, we even had buckets of sweets to hand out the the public! I think I ate more than I handed out.

The event was abit quieter than it has been before, but I think that was partly down to the terrible weather! The floods here have been pretty bad, I had to cancel a shoot in Bristol today, but it will be postponed, thankfully, as I've wanted to work with the photographer in question for ages now.

I think the highlight of the fair for me was the amazing stall by Devin Delinquents, its a shame I didn't have any spending money cause there was just so much stunning jewellery.

I particularly love this wicked tooth necklace

She also does some pretty special head pieces too! This beauty is modeled by my scrumptious friend Salleh Sparrow. So head right on over to their Big Cartel shop and take a look.

Beauty

Well, I had a really awesome month in October, not only did I have TWO huge stage shows, including the amazing Antichrist, I was also published in Bizarre magazine, including a full page picture!

 So far November has been pretty quiet compared, hopefully from tomorrow that will all change, as I am shooting an amazing leather harness I've had handmade for me, it looks stunning! Plus my rubbery outfits from the October shows.
I will also be milling about at the Alt and Burlesque Fair in Birmingham on the 24th promoting TwistedPix, I hope to see some of you there.

Ok, so I've been asked a few times about my beauty regime, I certainly don't do anything extreme, its all pretty basic really, my top tips would be,

1. Drink plenty of water, I pretty much only drink water now
2. Get plenty of sleep, that keeps my complexion looking fresh
3. Moisturize everyday to keep the skin in good condition
4. I take cod liver oil capsules, they help my hair, skin and nails stay in top condition
5. Don't wear too much makeup!!

Obviously I wear alot of makeup if I'm on stage or shooting, but in day to day life I don't wear too much, I love a simple, retro/pin up look, with red lipstick if I'm going out.
Just some concealer if I need it, liquid eyeliner, eyebrows penciled in a little, black mascara and abit of eye shadow.

As for the products I use, I don't use anything overly expensive as I don't think those products are worth the money at all, here are some of my favourites.

I use this Vitamin E moisturizer from Superdrug every day, it is SPF 15 which is important to protect skin from the sun, especially as I like to maintain my pale complexion. I always have at least SPF 15 on in the summer months.

My favourite facial scrub is Biore pore unclogging scrub, its divine. Unfortunately I've been finding it harder to get hold of, as it keeps disappearing from my local chemists, I have used it for years and its been wonderful on my skin.

This is the hair protection spray I use for heat protection, its Superdrugs own brand and works just as well as the more expensive ones. Its vital to use a heat protection product for blowdrying, tongs and straighteners, my hair goes very dry with damaged ends if I don't use it.

I've had alot of comments on my eyebrows and questions on what pencil I use, well I've fallen in love with this one by Rimmel, I use it in Black/Brown, as its not as harsh as black but is dark enough to go with my hair colour. The main thing I love about this is the brush on the lid, it makes it so easy to get the perfect arch.

 

Those are a selection of products I use everyday, there are afew more which I will post another time, but I hope that is useful to anyone who has asked me about this.
Let me know if you have any questions or anything specific you would like to see a blog post on.

Antichrist!

Last weekend I was back in London to perform at the legendary Club Antichrist for my beloved Rubber Monkey Latex, I've wanted to go to Antichrist for a few years but could never justify the cost of travelling to London, the ticket price, hotel and food and drink. So it was an amazing opportunity for me to go.

We stayed in trusty travelodge, as always, you really can't beat them, ice cream vending machines in the lobby! What more could you want from a hotel. There was also a fab corner shop next door whose owner I think I shocked, going in blood stained and in pasties at 2am.

We all gathered on the evening of the show, it was lovely to be reunited with my flying monkeys again! The amazing Em, right hand monkey Vandra and the fantastic models i so love working with - Salleh Sparrow, Kaykay Sakura, Collette Von Tora, Crimson Raine and Betty Havok, big hugs all round there!

I also got to meet two amazing models I haven't worked with before, the stunning Violeteyes and Ruby True.
The fantastic Shaun and Bekah from TwistedPix were also there to capture it all on camera.

We made our way to the venue after some munchies in the hotel room, we met with the makeup artists Alice Bizarre and Tabitha Adams and begun the preparations for the show.
Time seemed to fly by and it was show time! We had lots of friends present in the audience who had come down to see us and for antichrist.

The show was fantastic, violeteyes opened the show as a nun being corrupted by Ruby True's fire eating demon and then we all hit the stage. It was quite an ice rink, with all the blood from Violet! But we worked it, i ended up on the floor for the most part, as my heel less boots were likely to go flying. But it really worked, was super sexy and incredibly demonic!! We did lose a few audience member who found the gorelesque act abit too much, even for antichrist goers!
