Fur Coat, Big Knickers

A quick - and impromptu - blog post following an even quicker and equally-impromptu photo shoot yesterday with my friend Craig Shaw from BluPlanet photography. 

Like practically everywhere else in the UK this week, we have been blessed with a covering of beautiful white snow. I am lucky enough to live smack bang in middle of some of the loveliest countryside in West Yorkshire, so Craig and I donned hats and gloves (although I took mine off fairly quickly) and took to to the snow-capped Yorkshire countryside. 

Here are some out takes from the shoot. I hope you enjoy them.These shots were taken just across the road from my house, after we (rather typically for me!) got the car stuck down a little country lane. 

Proof that my hair was styled  for the shoot - look at those curls!
Alas, it didn't last long.
Turns out snow and setting lotion are not a great combination.

Not sure what I was trying to channel here - think the cold might've got to my brain.

I am so in love with my powder blue Ostrich Feather Fans from Frou Frou Feathers that whenever I get a chance to be photographed with them, I grab it!
It was at this moment that a small group of walkers appeared on the horizon. As they got closer they looked more and more bemused.
We gave them a little wave. They waved back!

It was VERY cold by this point but we were still having fun, so I ignored my red toes and we pushed on for another ten minutes.
Although I probably won't use this pic for publicity, I do love how Craig captured the real me here.

Craig and I haven't worked together in this way before (although he has shot several Bang Tidy Burlesque shows) and we are both still finding our feet. That said, I am really pleased with the results and so grateful to Craig for some fabulous pics. It was worth freezing my tootsies and my tatas for an hour. 

It's beautiful out there. I dare you to throw off your woolies and get someone to snap you in the all together in snow. It's chilly but so much fun! 

I will be posting a full set of the final images shortly on my Facebook Page HERE. Do head over and give me a little "like".
