Whoo hoo, I’ve just got on the Christie Hospital Beauty Consultant Volunteers Rota . I will be working as a Freelance Make Up Artist and helping ladies who are undergoing Chemotherapy treatment. Its so rewarding to give a little back to a hospital that I owe so much to. It’s a great sense of achievement to know that you are helping ladies who’s spirits may need a little lift and bring some joy into their day and a welcome distraction from the Chemo regime. Being a Beauty Consultant volunteer means you carry out demonstrations and help ladies to apply make up in a stunning way. The make up is supplied by Clinique and Lancome. “God bless em”. The products are lovely and especially kind to skin that that needs a little t.l.c. Its very humbling to be a part this service and such a joy to spend time with these courageous women. Spread the joy.

just wait till I get my paws on you.

Let Me Paint Your Face was going at full throttle today at Princess Street, Stockport. In celebration of their first year of business, Cash Converters were joined by myself, local radio and a big yellow cat, who’s name escapes me momentarily. I painted hundred’s of children’ s faces through out the day. Well it felt like hundreds anyway! Vroooom, I motored on through them all and had astonishing time. All the staff were lovely to and kept me well supplied with copious amounts of tea, all day. Well I’ve had my fun. Now it’s straight to bed EEE-Heee.

Check out the Big Yellow Pussy Cat!

The Muppets

Let Me Paint Your Face became part of the new Muppet Movie today. We created all of the beloved muppet characters for children attending the first screening of the film at, The Printworks, Odeon, Manchester. Balloon Kermit, Gonzo, Fozzie, Miss Piggy and Animal were given out to the children. They went in to the auditorium with shameless ear to ear grins. What a fun time we all had, it was brilliant.

The Happy Mondays

I recently had the opportunity today of working with Sean Ryder and Bez from ‘The Happy Mondays’ again whilst doing a photo shoot in Manchester. What a couple of lovely fellas they are and hysterical too.

They kindly agreed to let me paint the “yin and yang” symbols on their faces, they were such good sports. The photo shoot was outstanding and the pictures are currently on display at ‘The Royal Exchange’, Manchester, in a fantastic exhibition celebrating all things Mancunian.

Rochdale College

Last week I spent some time teaching new and aspiring makeup artists the fundamentals of makeup at Rochdale College. They were a great bunch of girls – some with a natural flair for makeup which was nice to see

I love the buzz and atmosphere around students who really want to learn something. I went home each night feeling a huge sense of satisfaction and purpose. Being able to help give them the necessary tools to flourish on their journey in becoming makeup artists is what it’s all about.

Key 103 Christmas Party

Today’s I worked at a christmas party with Key 103 at Old Trafford. It was a very hectic and busy day. All the children received a visit from Santa and had heaps of fun.

The queue for our face painting was massive, as it’s always a popular activity at Christmas Parties. Snowflake faces, Santa faces and reindeers were all the popular requests. I also was balloon modelling for all the children and was frequently asked for Santa balloons. Everyone involved had a fantastic time, roll on Christmas.
