fter being compelled to read the Fifty Shades trilogy I can confirm that the inner goddess in me hides beneath the surface due to my age, not my king of certainty. Best place for it I reckon. Spea ing at burst are we EM of issue this which, inside lling news the seams with goddesses, advice, mode and information.

A word to the wise; One word, and yes in should SHOUTY CAPITALS, is DON’T. The wise rest of understand this in just the one, but for the emails, slang text r edito an send don’t e you; pleas

the particularly with an exclamation mark at end of every word. It causes us nausea and e in some cases extreme aggression. Pleas don’t call an editor babe, hun, lav or mate; so unless you have written permission to do ht in advance. My personal response is a straig by ed follow face, angry an by ed face, follow a talk to the hand face and finally the delete mean key. If I have met you once this does not I am now your best friend. If I have met you but twice I may possibly remember your face it is highly unlikely I will recall your name you until at best the third time of meeting. If follow this simple advice you are far more good likely to get ahead than not. It is down to ty manners. Something that we seem as a socie that erful wond is it think I lack. ly asing to incre we can be relaxed with our inner goddess ty and communicate with all people at a varie of levels. But with polite and considered manners, please. Many thanks. Rant over.

A huge thank you to Fay for taking my new seems Editor’s shot. As bewildering as it is, she to have captured me in a way no other has.

Comments from friends include, “You look , really innocent, how did you manage that?” what and that is who ey, “Blim along with, d have you done with Ruth?” High praise indee say? you wouldn’t In respect of manners, I want to take this have opportunity to thank my friends, who do for permission to call me a variety of terms, t everything they have done for me over recen not months. You know who you are. I would x be writing this without you. So thank you.

BosomBuddies Bosombuddiesuk continues to grow throughout the country, inspiring and educating women of all ages. Founder Pauline Giles had Breast Cancer in 2010 leading to her having her left breast removed. She had reconstruction at the same time and was so pleased with the results she was bodypainted naked to show women you can still look sexy after a mastectomy.

P

auline’s latest crusade involves Parabens. For those of you who don’t know what Parabens are, they are used in beauty products to bulk them out and increase their longevity. Her Breast Cancer was oestrogen lead, Parabens are oestrogen mimickers, she takes tablets every day to stop her body making oestrogen, so covering herself in creams and cosmetics which contain them could possibly

bring on the disease again.

A recent survey in the US found that 99% of cancerous breast tissue tested contained Parabens.

Shockingly, it only takes sixteen seconds from applying cream for it to be in your blood stream.

On average a woman ingests 5lb of Parabens per year if she uses products that contain them.

In reality buying a quality product which is more expensive can often be better value as it is full of nutritional ingredients therefore less is needed per day to do the same job. Pound for pound natural is best in every way.

Pauline researched companies who sold Parabens free products only and endorses Angelface Mineral makeup. She said people, regularly comment on how lovely she looks and are astounded when she tells them she is 50 this year.

ARBONNE Arbonne are Swiss formulated and have only been in the UK for four years, many will not have heard of them as they do not sell in shops or spend millions on advertising.

They are so confident that their products are so good that word of mouth will make them a household name. They make a full range of products not only for women but men and children too, because all our loved ones need looking after.

There are great career opportunities with Arbonne working towards the gift of a white Mercedes of your choice. More information can be found on Pauline’s website, www.bosombuddiesuk.com or call (01726) 813797 Paraben free cosmetics require a lifestyle change, clearing out everything that contains them. Pauline is currently on a crusade to have Parabens banned from everything.

1 in 8 women will get Breast Cancer. If you don’t know how to check yourself, go to Pauline’s website and watch the video, it may save your life!

If you are interested in Arbonne or Angelface please ring (01726) 813797 leave a name and number and we will get back to you.

im of Are you a vict ? se domestic abu

ur aim is educate to prevent, but equally we are here to help if you have become a victim of any kind. Be that by pointing you in the direction of professionals who can help, or simply offering an ear for you to be listened to.

As is often reported, bullying and abuse is more common than we would perhaps think. We look at abuse in relationships and what to look out for, avoid, and walk away from. We talk to a former model, (who for legal reasons is not permitted to reveal her identity), about her experience as a model involved in a personal relationship with an abusive man.

RD: So you obviously agreed to go out with him again?

RD: As we cannot reveal your identity, for the purposes of this interview, some of the questions we ask will not include names or locations. However, thank you so much for agreeing to talk to us about this delicate subject. For the purposes of this interview we will refer to you as HG.

HG: To be honest it is really easy to see everything clearly in hindsight. But first I really had no idea this man was anything other than great fun, he made me smile, laugh, I felt loved and cherished. I was happy. He did seem to have mood swings from time to time but they were not consistent. I have mood swings, we all do. The only thing at that stage that concerned me a bit was his talk of violence. He would regularly tell me how strong he was and how many people he had hurt in the past. You would have thought any sane woman would have run a mile. But the way he said it at the time was as if he was sorry about it and he was a changed man. Again, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

HG: No problem, and it is my pleasure. If I can help at least one person by talking about my experiences then I am more than happy.

RD: So, you had been modelling for a number of years, albeit you are no longer working in the industry, and you enjoyed your job?

HG: I loved my job yes. Like any profession it has its ups and downs, and everyone has an opinion about modelling, mostly ill-informed and negative ones. But you get used to that.

RD: And did you meet your ex partner through work?

HG: No. To be honest in the industry I rarely came across men. I met him at a friend’s party. He had a fun character and was very charming. For some reason I ended up giving him my number and he pursued me heavily. Eventually I agreed to go out for a drink with him.

HG: Yes I did. He was very persistent. And charismatic. I was in quite a vulnerable place at the time and I think I just thought, oh well, nothing ventured.

RD: When did you start to notice that he was not perhaps what he seemed? I mean, you say he was charismatic, so when did the negative side rear it’s head?

RD: Did he try to change you in any way?

HG: Definitely. He was a control freak. He hated my work and modelling was the last thing he could cope with me doing. I did a lot of lingerie and some glamour work. But he made it very emotional and I felt obliged to cut down on my work so I didn’t hurt his feelings. I missed doing my job, but I loved him more. He didn’t like the thought of other men looking at me and I could understand that. But it was my job when I met him. It was very confusing.

RD: Do you think it was calculated behaviour on his part?

RD: So would you say your initial instinct about this man existed from the outset as being negative in some way?

HG: I wouldn’t say negative, no. Not when I first met him. I didn’t really think anything at that point. But my instinct when I met up with him again was to stay clear. There was something about him I really didn’t like. He appeared shifty and full of too many one liners for my liking. But show me a girl who doesn’t like being chased and indulged? It is a winning formula.

Every Model Magazine

HG: That I cannot answer. Thankfully I have never been inside his head.

What a grim place that must be.

RD: What kind of impact did his behaviour have on your life?

HG: Well slowly, but in a bittersweet way, with his love and support, I became a recluse. I hardly went out. I gave up my job. I fell out with most

of my friends. He didn’t like any of them and he didn’t like me going out anywhere without him. I just wanted to make him happy. At the time I thought I was doing the right thing and that I was doing all these things for my future happiness as well as his. I didn’t see what was happening until I was completely at his mercy.

RD: Was he physically violent with you?

HG: Not as such no. He intimidated me and continued to make reference to violence daily. He was aggressive sexually, but he delivered his preferences in a seductive way which made me simply want to please him in return for his gratitude. His favourite topic of conversation was around how many people he had beaten up, what a reputation he had for being a ‘hard man’ and how nobody would ever dare to cross him.

However I never actually saw any violence from him physically, but in the way he spoke, it was constant. It was this part of him that made me take stock and ultimately walk away. That and his threats to kill me. Personally now I see him as a man with ‘little man syndrome’, but at the time I really thought he was capable of anything. I didn’t 100% believe he would physically hurt me. But equally I wasn’t 100% sure he wouldn’t.

RD: So what gave you the motivation to leave the relationship?

HG: Good friends and despite being hideously woven into his web of destruction and changing my character so much, I think I still had my own instinct and brain in there somewhere. I have many people to thank for guiding me out of it though. I couldn’t have done it on my own.

RD: And how did he deal with the breakup?

HG: He refused to accept it for a long time. It wasn’t a case of just walking away. I was frightened of him by that point and walked on eggshells the whole time thinking how I would say things to him. Eventually I thought he had accepted it but it took a good year to walk away completely. He used many methods to try to get me back. All manipulative. Fortunately by that point I had seen him for who he really was and I didn’t fall back into the trap.

“

He intimidated me and continued to make reference to violence daily.He was aggressive sexually,but he delivered his preferences in a seductive way which made me simply want to please him in return for his gratitude.

”

RD: So what are the signs in your experience would you say you should look for in an abusive relationship?

HG: I would say extreme behaviours. Anyone who tries to convince you that the only person you need in your life is them, has something wrong with them. We all need a variety of people in our lives to enrich us. I would say that someone with mood swings, a lack of ability to express emotion, someone who is obsessed by their own well being. Someone who has delusions of grandeur, or lies often is also a warning sign. And finally someone who is totally unable to take responsibility for their actions.

There will always be someone or something to blame for a bully’s negative behaviour. It will never be their fault. Obviously all of these behaviours will be in contrast masked by a highly charming individual. Almost a dual personality, I guess you would say.

This list may help you to identify whether you are experiencing domestic violence: Are you afraid of your partner?

Do you feel isolated? Does he cut you off from family and friends?

Is he jealous and possessive?

Does he humiliate or insult you?

Does he verbally abuse you?

Does he say you are useless and couldn’t cope without him?

Does he physically hurt you? Does he shove, slap, punch or kick you?

Does he force you to have sex against your will?

Has he threatened to hurt you or people close to you?

Does he constantly criticise you?

Does he have sudden changes of mood which dominate the household?

Is he charming one minute and abusive the next?

Like Dr Jekyll / Mr Hyde?

Does he control your money?

Do you change your behaviour to avoid triggering an attack?

Are you unsure of your own judgement?

Does he damage your possessions?

Does he smash up the furniture?

Does he threaten to harm or kill the pets?

Does he threaten to kidnap or get custody of the children?

Does he lock you out of the house during an argument?

Does he tell you what to wear or how to do your hair?

For more information about domestic violence, and how to get support, go to www.refuge.org.uk. For more information about how to support a loved one, go to www.1in4women.com.

RD: And your life now? Is it any richer as a result?

HG: At the time I was very damaged and I am not afraid to admit it. I thought I loved him. But something drove me to walk away and yes, my life is richer in every respect as a result. It was the best thing I ever did. It took some time for him to completely disappear from my life. But he had lost control. It wasn’t about losing me. But now I know what real love is. I am in a happy, real, loving relationship in equal measure. I have my own self back and feel free at the same time as loved by the man in my life.

That is how it should be. Nobody should be in any kind of relationship that is controlled. Never again will I allow myself to feel guilty for no reason, question or lose the person I know I really am, or be intimidated by my partner or anyone else.

RD: Glad to hear it. And do you intend to go back into modelling?

HG: Yes I do. I have recently been signed by private management and I am really looking forward to it.

One of the central missions of EM Magazine is to provide models with an industry directory filled with agencies that follow a code of conduct.

Ultimately this mission ties in with EM’s aim of giving models a “safe experience”.

IN TH

W

hilst most of us are familiar with the classic modelling scams of fraudulent agencies asking models to pay to join their books, making promises of work and charging potential models for portfolio packages it seems new types of scams are developing as the industry is changing. This change is apparent as more and more models are now working freelance and thus finding their own work on model forums or casting websites.

Whilst this approach works well for a lot of models, it must be questioned how the same level of security can be achieved without the help of a reputable agency. Gone are the days of the stereotype proclaiming that “models are dumb” as in today’s world models need to be industry savvy and clued up on how to stay safe whilst protecting their image.

MODEL

INDUS

1. Do Your Research

Think of model forums a bit like internet dating: You wouldn’t just meet a complete stranger without knowing anything about them. Likewise as anybody can claim to be a photographer, agent or stylist it is essential that every freelance model does some research on who exactly they will be working with. Such research is easy; start by looking online for samples of their work, maybe the photographer has a website or references from other models.

2. Ask the Right Questions

This tip is particularly salient if the person you are potentially going to work with has little or no internet presence.

3. Rates

This is always a tricky one as rates vary from model to model. Ultimately my only advice 12

Every Model Magazine

would be not to undersell yourself, the modelling industry is no different to any other and you shouldn’t be going to work for free. Be wary of TFP shoots which realistically won’t benefit your portfolio and look out for companies asking you to work for free originally with the promise of paid work at a later date. Overall if you are a good model then people will be willing to pay for your time as mere ‘exposure’ isn’t what pays the bills.

4. Report Any Bad Experiences to the Casting Site Too often I hear of models booking work through casting sites, having a bad experience

and then doing nothing about it. Many casting websites do have a contact form to report any incidences and they will take them seriously.

By doing so you are not only highlighting to the casting site that a particular person should no longer be able to list jobs or have a profile, but potentially protecting other freelance models from any future mishaps.

5. Be Bold

If you feel uncomfortable at any time politely raise your concerns or leave. Recently a model told me that during a shoot the photographer filmed everything which wasn’t originally discussed. She politely asked half way through

8. Examine the Location

Regardless of whether someone is just starting out it is quite obvious if someone is professional.

Be honest with yourself when you arrive, does the location look like the set of a professional shoot? Is there the correct equipment? At the very least the photographer should be shooting with more than a camera phone.

9. Help Others

If you had a successful shoot leave a reference for all those who were involved to help other models do their research. The best form of advertising is word of mouth and if you leave a good reference for others it is likely that the favour will be returned resulting in more work for you.

levels and attire the more likely you are to protect yourself from any confusion or mishaps.

6. State Your Levels

Leave the details of where you are going with someone you trust. This includes the address of where you will be, how long you expect to be there and the details of who you are working with. When you arrive at a shoot send a quick text to your trusted person to let them know you got there safely and everything is ok.

It is vital that you state your levels from the beginning and never feel pushed to extend your limit. Once again any professional within the industry will respect your limits.

MODELS VS CELEBRITIES

HN

BY DAVID HA

When it comes to advertising or product promotion, why do agencies more often than not, tend to go for celebrities or celebrity models to appear in their ads?

W

ell, in the first instance, you might think it’s the agency’s fault, but I assure you it isn’t. It’s all about the brief and the budget the agency receives and then it’s usually put out to tender.

Just for a moment, put yourself in the shoes of a major company ad agency and think about whether or not you would use a celebrity or model for an ad campaign. There are two major issues here: the first that you would need to put your best foot forward and try and gain as much free exposure for your client, and secondly, the better results in the final success of the campaign the more money you would get and in all probability receive repeat business.

This is the main reason that stunning male and female models lose out to celebrities. The exception to the rule is when you see a TV commercial like Virgin Airways. The girls in this ad are the “regular stunning girls” as opposed to celebrities because if they had used celebs it would, without question, have overshadowed the brand which has happened in the past too. So people remember the ad with those “very attractive girls with legs up to their armpits”.

Many years ago, there was a comedy TV commercial with an aircraft cabin scene with Joan

Collins from the major TV series at the time, Dynasty and Leonard Rossitter from the UK’s hit series Rising Damp. The ad was for a famous brand of alcohol.

This was part of a serious major campaign and was in all probability shown in nearly every ad break on ITV. The problem was that a rival product was picking up more sales from the campaign because more focus was drawn to the two celebrities in the ad and the brand was being obscured. In my opinion, a huge lesson was learned from this failure. You only have to look at the Go Compare ad with that irritating opera singer. The branding on this

ad is an overkill, but they mention Go Compare so many times in the ad you can’t help but to remember who it is for. The same applies to confused.com which is sung to the hit song YMCA, once again there is no way of forgetting who the ad is for.

However, there are numerous ad campaigns whereby stunning male and female models are utilised and of course this is good, not only for the models concerned, but also for the modelling industry in general.

We have obtained some very high profile ad campaigns for models, but this can also be considered a double edged sword. If a brand uses a model in a prominent way, it tends

to associate them closely with them and earns the model a good fee but, and here’s the but, because their face is associated with a brand, other agencies tend not to want to use that model in other campaigns for another product or even a competitor.

To be fair, I have been somewhat pessimistic, something for which I am not sorry, as there are some so called agencies that take on models and promise them the earth and in reality deliver them virtually nothing. I have no idea why they do this. In our organisation we tell every client exactly how it is. If anything our motto is the opposite of the phrase I just used. We say we would rather promise you nothing and deliver the world. The industry is rife with some stunning models and ad organisations tend to use the same modelling agencies due to the relationships they have with them. To be fair to them, they have obviously supplied the right model for the right job. They are effectively acting as the casting agents for the agencies, therefore saving them time and money.

So in a nutshell, when it comes to celebrity versus model? I think there is enough work out there for both.

PERFECT PEACH PASSION

I BARDIN M O L A L IZABEL Is summer finally here? Albeit a little late, it’s time to treat yourself to some key beauty essentials. I’ve researched and tested a range of great products and cosmetics, and found 10 ‘can’t do without’ goodies. For those of you going on holiday, I have handpicked some beach-bag best-sellers to slide in alongside your favourite paperback. Take a read – I promise you it will be worth it.

VOLUPTUOUS VOLUME In humid heat, it’s difficult to keep a hairstyle intact for a whole day.

But I discovered an answer to this challenge - Lush BIG shampoo. At £11.25 it works wonders for your hair. A strange combination of ingredients though, I have to admit.

With large coarse grains of salt whisked into a velvety textured liquid, it somehow adds a bizarre amount of volume and gloss to your hair. I doubt I’ll be using anything else - for the time being at least.

Everyone needs a little colour on their lips and I can’t praise Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte more. At £23.50, you’ll be relieved to know that this lipstick lasts an extremely long time. Try the shade ‘Peach Passion’ which is my personal favourite. I’m quite sceptical about buying anything for my lips as they have the tendency to get quite dry, but YSL have made this ridiculously creamy and moisturising. It’s perfect. Honestly!

KIEHLS DARLING Kiehls is one of the best-known cosmetic brands in New York and London. Their new Ultra Facial Oil Free Cleanser £15 is perfect for anyone with slightly greasy or combination skin. It effortlessly

removes impurities and revitalises your skin. It’s been a key step in my beauty regime for the past couple of weeks. With its fragrance-free, oil-free formula, it will leave your skin looking more balanced and blemish free.

WONDER LASH Over the past few months I have uncovered a real jewel of a product.

Benefit’s ‘They’re Real’ Mascara is truly transforming.

My lashes are naturally very short, but they appear to be twice the length with only one coat of this mascara. I have never seen anything like it. And trust me when I say, I have searched the globe for a mascara as great as this.

TINT TINT The worst thing for a woman to do is wear full coverage foundation in hot temperatures. It either melts off, or leaves mysterious patches

over your face. Tinted moisturiser is the answer. Chantecaille’s Just Skin £43 with an SPF of 15 has a lightweight texture, it smoothes fine lines whilst enhancing the complexion. It even contains green tea extracts, ideal for clearing blemishes.

BRONZED BOMBSHELL Feeling a little pale compared to the bronzed locals on holiday? Brand new to Xen-Tan is their Perfect Blend Self Tan £34.99. With the option to customize the colour of your tan by adjusting the cap, it will ‘blend’ flawlessly with your natural skin colour leaving an olive, natural looking base tan for feeling confident down at the beach. It also contains a deodoriser to cover up that dreaded self-tan odour and replacing it with an exceptionally fresh fragrance.

BLUEBERRY BURST Lush is quickly becoming one of my favourite stores. With their organic and fresh handmade cosmetics, I am always tempted to try something new. My current favourite product is their ‘Catastrophe Cosmetic’ face mask £5.95. With the main ingredient being blueberries your skin is treated to beneficial anti-oxidants and it soothes any irritated skin in just a few minutes. With essence of Blue Chamomile, it is said to be calming for both your mind and skin. Not to mention the breath-taking scent.

PROFESSIONAL PROTECTION FOR PORES PLEASE I’m not usually a fan of primers as I feel that for the majority of the time they don’t actually help my foundation last all day. However readers, I have now found the perfect product. Benefit’s Porefessional Primer £23.50 glides on with the smoothest texture you will ever have experienced. It could also be a replacement for foundation on days where you’re giving your skin some time to breathe.

SCENT ME CRAZY I strongly believe that everyone must have a scent. When you walk in a room, people should know you’ve arrived before they see you. Roberto Cavallis’ new fragrance which ranges from £38-£56 is a must have. With slightly sweet notes, ones that may remind you of sun cream and the sea, you will begin to feel as attached to it as I do. Doesn’t look too bad on your shelf either with its gorgeous packaging.

FINALLY… THAT GOOD OLD MIRACLE IN A TIN My one must have item for these summer months is the simple yet top-model applauded Vaseline at £1.19.

It now comes in a range of ‘flavours’.

Some of you may think its main purpose is to cure dry lips, but think on… that’s not all I’ve discovered. Take the opportunity to have a quiet night or invite the girls over and pamper yourselves silly. Try massaging Vaseline into the soles of your feet and wrap them up with cling film. Walk around on it a little then leave on for a couple of hours – you’ll be amazed by the baby skin results you will achieve.

AMY WILLERTON This issue Ruthie D catches up with model Amy Willerton at Celebrity Publicity to bring us up to date with her hectic schedule.

RD: Hey Amy, how are you doing?

AW: I’m really good thanks Ruthie how are you?

RD: Hot. [Wipes old withered brow due to inconvenient surprise English heat-wave].

I don’t want to dwell on the Katie Price scenario, we have all read about it and I’m sure you are fed up of talking about it. So just give us a summary of how you got involved. And please don’t look scared of me.

AW: You were quite scary at the Miss London boot camp. And you asked difficult questions. [Laughs] RD: Of course I did.

I had to know you had what it took. And you clearly did because you won. So brief us all on the Katie show then.

AW: OK. I actually got scouted for the Katie Price show when I worked in a shop in Bristol last summer, and the auditions were happening right there and then so I thought I would go for it. When I got there they put us into groups of five girls and one boy. Then they asked the boy to line the five girls up in the order in which he thought were the most attractive. This of course caused massive conflict between us. We were then all 18

Every Model Magazine

w e i v r e t n I M E e Th

asked individually why we thought we had been put in the order we were selected. So immediately we were thrown into an awkward scenario. One part of me wanted to just run away but ultimately I think I upset a few people by standing my ground. The girl standing next to me was 5’2” and a size 14, she wanted to be different and stand out from the crowd so to speak.

So when they asked me why I thought I should be chosen over her I said that I thought I was more marketable. My height and size is far more in line with the modelling world. No matter how we dress it up. It is what it is. It’s fine to be different and great if you succeed but you are less likely to get work.

Fact. Then I was selected for the show and having no expectations about it was quite keen to ensure that they were not looking for a glamour model to win the contest.

I was very clear about it and they did say that it was a model search so I was relaxed.

RD: So you left the Katie Price arena for what reason?

AW: Lots of reasons. I felt the contract I was asked to sign was a little unrealistic as it was a lengthy time period. I also felt that the angle they wanted to go was that of the glamour route which as I have said, is not something I am keen to follow. In a way I wish they had

picked someone else who did want that kind of opportunity. I had been very open about my own lack of wish to follow this modelling route and it seems a bit of a waste now in a way. It really wasn’t an easy decision to make I can assure you and I was terrified about it. But it is the decision that I felt was right for me and my career.

RD: Do you communicate with Katie now?

AW: I don’t. I think it would probably be a little bit awkward. If I saw her I would of course talk to her. I did try my hardest to make it work but it wasn’t going to. But I don’t have any bad feelings about it.

RD: In respect of not wanting to follow the glamour route; did that have anything to do with you wanting to become Miss England? Being as glamour and Miss World do not correlate with their rules and entry into the contest.

AW: I think that certainly had something to do with it. Being Miss England was something I really wanted to do. I put a lot into it. And I had been selected as a finalist at the same time as the Katie Price show but had to make a choice that year. It was either one or the other. I was down to the final three in Katie’s show

and decided that I would try for Miss England the following year.

And then of course I won the show. And I went on to become Miss London following this which I consider a great honour and achievement.

RD: And what can you tell us about the mentor looking after you in the Miss London competition, Fay Bacon.

AW: Honestly the experience of doing this heat was totally different to any others that I have done.

Fay has taught me so much. She is always on the end of a telephone, there for advice guidance and support. I was also lucky enough to win the beach body round of the Miss England contest which won me a trip to Thailand and a photo shoot. So I have been well looked after, given lots of opportunities and cannot thank Fay enough for all she has done for me. I have taken away so much simply by being mentored by her.

RD: So what are you doing at the moment and do you have any future plans we should know about?

AW: Well, I think I will definitely give the competitions a year off. I am just in the process of being signed with a new management company which is exciting.

Dress by Poetic Trend

AW: I see myself as a commercial model. I am certainly not high fashion.

I know that. I struggle now with modelling to be honest. I am not a full on celebrity and I am not an unknown regular working model either. So I am a little in limbo as a result which is a shame. People do know things about me and have opinions, which does not always work in my favour.

As with anyone who has been or is in the public eye. I feel I have been branded a glamour girl when I actually walked away from this opportunity as I didn’t want to follow it, but I have been branded as such regardless. I have had

to fight my corner with some people who think I am something I am not.

RD: If you could pursue any genre of modelling what would it be?

AW: I would like to be a Victoria Secret goddess and live the dream.

They become an immortal, walking the catwalk like an angel. [Sighs]. But for me it is presenting that I would like to be successful in now. With so much going on over the past couple of years I have finally had time to sit down and consider which direction I really want to take. The press I was getting, the profile that was building really wasn’t what I wanted. So after stepping back a bit I am going to give presenting my best shot.

RD: So not all publicity is good publicity then? [Peers over glasses in a way not akin to that of Anne Robinson in any way].

AW: Absolutely not. It can make or break you.

RD: That’s the correct answer Amy. So, in respect of getting into modelling, what do you consider to be the ultimate accolade... being scouted, being signed after a walk-in or via the competition route?

AW: I think all routes nowadays provide opportunities. I would say that in this industry it really is more

“

about who you know and being in the right place at the right time. No one route is better than any other I don’t think. I am really competitive and I love that element of it. I love the thrill and experience of being involved in a competition. I know I am not planning any this year but I will miss it. But at the same time I really need to focus on other areas of my career right now.

[Doorbell goes, lots of screamy ‘hello how are you’s’, something about a love affair Amy? - Oh the power of being an Editor - , Ruthie as usual and embarrassingly unable to remember ever having met the person who walks in, lots of kissing cheeks and interview ends]

I would like to be a Victoria Secret goddess and live the dream.They become an immortal, walking the catwalk like an angel.

ABOUT BB CREAM!!!

This month I decided to visit Vidal Sassoon...

W

ell you can imagine my expectations I mean... Vidal Sassoon.

I wanted the full works, colour, re-style and blow dry.

As I arrived I was greeted by the very friendly receptionist who promptly advised me to speak to the Creative Colour Director who gave me a very thorough consultation and really made sure she knew what results I wanted. So we got started and my hair was then cut and re-styled by the Creative Cutting Director who was very innovative and passionate about his work. It looked stunning.

The atmosphere was relaxing with a very modern minimalistic decor and all the staff were very attentive, I felt very special and must say my high expectations were met. What I was really surprised about was the Vidal Sassoon product range, they have shampoos, conditioners and a whole selection of styling products which all smell wonderful! I have had lots of lovely comments on my results and altogether extremely happy with the whole service. Thanks Aliah and Davidé for looking after me.

M

eaning Beauty Balm, this versatile day cream is moisturising brightening, nourishing, concealing and protects from UV rays, it can be used on its own after your regular moisturiser or under your foundation if you require more coverage. Its very lightweight feel makes it a day time or holiday essential. I tried the

“Ginvera” Green Tea Nude Cover one and have to say it felt amazing.

It had a very pleasent smell and felt nice and luxurious to apply. After a week or so of using it I saw and felt a change to my skin’s texture and appearance. Ginvera’s BB Cream has arrived direct from Singapore and can be found at Harvey Nichols or call 0203 005 4902

Like most people living in London, I was sceptical about how the London 2012 Olympic Games were going to affect us. After daily warnings about the forthcoming disruptions to our roads, transport and airports, not to mention signs everywhere with ‘Avoid Central London’ in capitals, I prepared myself for a nightmare, which, dare I say it, I didn’t think was worth it.

H

owever, after a surprisingly troublefree drive home, I sat with goosebumps watching the incredible Opening Ceremony. It was then I realised just how huge this was. The whole world was watching as Danny Boyle set our hearts alight and once #London2012Olympics and #ProudtobeBritish trended on Twitter, I knew my preconceptions were wrong.

After the ceremony finished and the Olympics began, my fellow sceptics and I had no choice but to realise these were no ordinary games causing a bit of transport upheaval; they were a celebration of a British dedication, determination and talent. And so I asked myself, why this was the first time I was

being introduced to the likes of Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah, athletes that inspired me just by being on the screen? Was I really that ignorant of the world of athletics or is it because they have been overlooked, not just by me, but also by the British society generally?

In recent years, our media have flooded newspapers and magazines with the private lives of footballers and their wives, detailing the ways they live their extravagant lifestyles and spend their ridiculously large salaries, next to the latest relationship bustup in TOWIE, and topped off with ‘has she/ hasn’t she had cosmetic surgery?’ Many of us digest this information on a subconscious level without actually considering whether it is valuable or more importantly, if these people are worth the column space they’re being given? It was this theory that sprang to mind during the Olympic hype. When British athletes did us proud, we as a nation indirectly thanked them with our words of gratitude and love across social networking sites and the Internet.

My hope is that this would be taken note of by the media worldwidethat they would change who they choose to write about and view the media as an opportunity to identify who the true ambassadors are of our time?

When you compare how the perception of beauty has changed over the last fifty years, the change is significant, and in my opinion, overall it’s not looking great. I would love for good old fashioned beauty and glamour to be reintroduced to our society.

Not just on a physical level but a mental one. I want women of all shapes and sizes to discover their inner, natural beauty and

celebrate it without the help of cosmetic surgery. I want society generally to source out real icons and become inspired by them for the right reasons. And I genuinely believe that by putting the likes of Jessica Ennis on our covers we will be able to do this. Not only can we learn from her inner strength and determination as an athlete, but also her physical health proves what a healthy lifestyle can do for us all.

In his opening ceremony, Danny Boyle displayed to the world why Britain is one of the most powerful countries in the world. It was not by fluke so many of us sat glued to our screens, it was because we rejoiced in everything the ceremony celebrated from The Industrial Revolution to our youth culture and music. My wish is for our British media to expand on this and prove to us all, but most importantly the next generation why they should be proud to be part of such a wonderful society, full of talented, hard working individuals, to encourage them to maintain this magic and create more. It is by using the faces of some of our athletes, for example, that we can highlight this.

What is the ModelZed Academy?

The ModelZed Academy is a dance and model school offering dance training and modelling tuition to children and young people.

Over the years the agency has been asked on numerous occasions if they provide child modelling classes, to which the answer, has always been ‘no’. As an agency they have only represented adult models but have begun to receive more interest from clients and the fashion shows they organise incorporating children and teenagers.

With this thought in mind they decided to launch the ModelZed Academy, offering a platform for the skills needed to work within the commercial modelling industry. To add an edge to their talent base they decided to incorporate dance into the Academy. Modelling and dance often come

together in many of their live shows and they are often praised for adding this appealing twist.

During their classes the participants take part in half an hour of dance training, incorporating many different styles from disco freestyle and street dance through to ballet, Bollywood and breakdance.

Their initial goal is to create a database of students that gain genuine pleasure from learning the skills taught, growing in confidence with each session. They aim to provide their students with opportunities to perform at live shows throughout the year, gaining confidence and experiencing performing in front of live crowds.

They are pleased to have secured their first show which will take place at the Haymarket Shopping Centre, Leicester, on 15th September with chosen students who will perform during the Autumn ‘Live for Less’ fashion show. Modelling clothing from Primark and Internacionale the students will have the opportunity to showcase their new found talents.
