Vixens Overexposed : The Party

What a night, I truly enjoyed myself! Thank you to all who came, who tried to come, who wanted to come, et al…

As a friend (and very talented glass artist) had put it, “…with the two dancers putting on quite a flirty performance to AC/DC, involving a bottle of bubbly and some red electrical tape over their nipples - the guys in the function room next door were very excited by the eyeful they got and some more mature ladies who were just in for dinner got more than they bargained for.” Turiya Orme

You can view some photos of the night here.

And much more on facebook if you’re keen to have a squizzy!

Exhibiting Art at Live08

I have been asked to exhibit my work at Live08!

The event is all about Life, Love + Lust. There’ll be Burlesque shows every hour, music concerts in the evening and a Cirq De Sole-ish show as well.

Here’s my advert I designed for the program:

John’s Hot Rod Show - Rain, rain and more rain…

Yes, we went to the Hot Rod show on the weekend…

No, I didn’t take any photos…

Yes, the rockabilly bands were fantastic…

No, there weren’t over 2,500 cars there that day…

Yes, we got saturated…

No, it wasn’t as packed with people as I had imagined…

Yes, I can’t wait for next year’s event so that I CAN take photos…

On a better note, my Christmas cards have been selling well!
