Thelma and I were up London all day yesterday for a very long day photo shoot for the magazine "Esquire" which is for there October edition that will be out on Sept 14th.
It's for the autumn clothes collection and will be a 9 page spread with balloons on every page
It was a great day and they really looked after us both with breakfast, snacks, drinks, lunch etc etc and even strawberries and cream. We have seen some of the shots and are both really looking forward to seeing the final layout.
They also shot a two minute DVD that will be going onto there website with instructions and links on how to make a balloon model, so hopefully some good publicity all around.
We have plenty of pictures to re-size and up load but I'll wait till Thelma posts some and then add the odd one or two from the day.

Wow! Congratulations you two! you've really been busy here lately
Graham, is Thelma coming to DJ also?

Thank you Graham for inviting me along for the photo shoot. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and it was a good experience. The preceeding day was spent designing various body parts ranging from simple to more intricate and from comedy to serious. We did not know what the expectations were so we wanted to me prepared to produce whatever style they wanted.

As it turned out they decided that less was more for the head. Graham designed some wonderful skeleton hands and feet. The feet were a real problem. We didi lots of feet but were never quite satisfied. In the end Graham came up trumps and I have to say I absolutely love his feet. We don't have photos of the actual clothes in the photo shoot because that would have been out of order but we had a play of our own. Here are some photos. I am still cropping and editing the backgrond out of some photos so will have more.

some more

outstanding!! Those are definately the best bones I've ever seen I really like how you did the pelvis, great work you two!

hands

I'm afraid you have to have all the background with my pictures as I'm not very good with photoshop, Thelma keeps showing me but I just seem to forget everything.

I just love these;

Simple head and more hands

more photos

And even more photo's

The first one of the feet is possibly my favourite shot of the day, not sure why. Although we seem to have got loads of really nice pictures from the day. The skeleton after a heavy drinking session and the cool mf with the machine gun that we videod for the esquire website. Take a close look at those fantastic shoes that Thelma came up with on him.
