…ok, more like 30 days but 28 sounds cooler.

It’s been a month since my last entry. A month. A fucking MONTH! It’s not that I haven’t had things to write about. I have. Lots is happening and it’s all good stuff which I shall link-whore about in a minute if you want to check out the new bits and bobs. Ok, so in chronological order…

I moved in to my new studio last month and have had a functioning electricity supply since the end of June. I am completely in love with my studio. I mean, I have nostalgic fuzzy memories of my parents’ house and I feel emotionally attached to the flat I live in at the moment but I LOVE the studio. When I’m in there on my own I keep having these moments of joyous disbelief and dancing around with a big gigantor smile on my face.

My first shoot in the studio was with the gorgeous AnaBelle, while she was visiting Scotland.

My first self-portrait in the studio. The gorgeous crinoline petticoat was a gift from Leyla Rose who always looks glamorous.

Speaking of Leyla Rose, and with a quick step out of chronology, I had a (very cramped, as it was while I was between studios) shoot with Leyla and Missy Malone to promote their show at the Glasgow Cabaret Festival.

My parents came to visit at the start of July and we went to the Falkirk Wheel. This is something that D and I have been meaning to do since we moved to Scotland but it’s one of those things that feels better to do in a touristy way, with people who don’t live here.

My summer photography kicked off with lots of swearing and loud laughter during a shoot with Dave Arcari, just back from a European festival tour and squeezing some photo-taking in between a radio interview and a gig that night.

Last weekend, I shot with Anna and Frances for Elvira Beaumont Corsetiere. I have total corset-envy right now!

And press-y stuff…this month my photos are in RevolutionArt, Replica, Blues Matters magazine and various other music-performance-related thingies (thanks to Dave’s busy touring schedule!).

AND…big exciting news! I’m working on a new project – Sublime Rush Magazine – and I am so hyper about it. It’s still a baby and there’s nothing major to report just yet but in the meantime, if you want to keep up to date with the release and get your free digital copy of the mag, go to the website and register with the mailing list.

Today I’m feeling relieved because Pablo the kitty had a collision yesterday with the metal thing that laundry hangs on to dry, had some sort of weird seizure and ended up with a kitty-concussion. He has been checked over by the vet, is totally ok and I just about managed to avoid having an “Oh my god, that cat is broken!” panic.

It feels too weird to get all personal and headshrinkery after such a bulletin-esque post so I’m just going to shut up now. And it won’t be a month before my next post.
