Queen Victoria

Hey all, i've been working on some exciting shoots lately, my favourite being this one, set near Deansgate, Manchester, with the multi talented Victoria Thomas. Alternative model/ makeup artist/ dental nurse! the look for the shoot was vintage wave and makeup, which Victoria with the help of a hairdresser friend managed to create beautifully! 
Having not met Victoria until the shoot, i was overwhelmed by how fun, friendly and energetic she was, and we really had such a laugh together. definitely one of my most enjoyable shoots to date! 
and i love the images that were produced, vintage glam contrasting with an industrial background.
I'm not usually a fan of coloured hair on models as i feel its very hard to pull of, but Victoria knocks it out of the park! 
We're already organising our next editorial shoot in Chester in a couple weeks and i cannot wait! 
you can follow both Victoria's modelling and makeup artist page on Facebook!

Website launch!!!

Oh my, I've been so overwhelmed with how busy I've been since moving house 4 months ago, id almost forgotten about writing, sorry to you all!
So where to start? well I've finally done it! yes . . . i launched the Blue Flamingo website 2 months ago! having designed and built the majority of it myself, it really is the fruit of my labour, and still a working progress. as i don't have any web design experience or skills or know anyone that has, its been at times, a very traumatic experience.
Keeping to our purple and blue colour scheme, i think its slowly getting there! focusing on just handmade Hair Accessories and jewellery, its become a great way to showcase our collections and to sell internationally! take a look around HERE
So what do you think? i really would love to hear any thoughts on the site!
