Bra and knickers set I did for myself - a lot of performers have it announced on stage how many gems are on their costume.

I don't count, all I can say is there is A LOT on my diamond girl costume!

I literally gem until I can't see properly, and then I have to stop.

The second routine I ever created 'Down in Mexico'. I still use the same underwear, and added this corset further down the line.

This was my first commission after coming back from costuming in Dubai.

The Girl In The Glass - asked for 1920's style set, with moon and star theme on a black base.
This is what I came up with.

So in my refined technical language I basically get a base to work on - sew some shit on and then glue some shit on.

Due to my obsessive nature when costuming I go into a fair bit of detail, and some really nice pieces have come out of that.

Most things are one off designs, working with performers they need to be - so no copying!

Shoes to match the bra and knickers

I updated my white fan dance costume last year, and this is the results. Below is a video of it all in action.

Not long after making a matching bra top and high waisted shorts from a 1950's pattern I got a call from Kaya George telling me she would be spending the summer in Corfu, and as I would be visiting she wanted to do some filming.

I put together the outfit I made for filming, and she had brought along a vintage dress and some other bits..

We experimented with a GoPro in the sea, but unfortunately it was being temperamental, so we didn't get and footage - one to save for next time!

View from our yacht, and by yacht I mean pedalo!

Kaya had some ideas for a fashion based film, so we made the most of the areas we had seen while bombing up and down the mouton roads in the car.

With her amazing waterproof camera - Ok it's a plastic bag!

I get a call from Kaya demanding we do a video immediately - it's snowing, and with British weather it's so changeable you have to get in there quick.
Luckily it stayed for a few days, and she managed to get up from London without being stranded.

So I think, it'll be cold, but it'll be worth it!
Little did I know what I was letting myself in for - sitting a tight third after underwater photo shoots and performing on three hours sleep 5 days running for F1, this is the most horrible thing I have done.

As it was a good chance for a Christmas showreel I put together a winter headdress the night before with some bits I had been saving for an idea I had.

'Smile and look pretty, smile and look pretty .... and it will all be over soon!'

So ... my feet froze first, then my body and then my hands.

In between being in pain, slipping, running into trees and being attacked by twigs we got some really sweet footage, and made two videos from it.

After that we all went for the biggest, fattest roast dinner.

Amazing day out - but not one I am keen to repeat!

With my silk fans above, where Kaya decides standing in a freezing stream would be a great idea.
Yep thanks! .... and thanks for the fab videos, I am very happy with them.
