Retro Chick Plays Model…..

Whilst at the Lady K Loves shoot last week the photographer, the wonderful Jon Bolland of StrobeMe, offered to take a few photos of me seeing as I fit in so well with my surroundings.

Instantly I wished I’d applied a little more foundation and blusher when I’d got ready at 7am that morning and that I’d worn a girdle, or maybe not eaten so many biscuits for the last 6 months. But I had a go at looking like I was wistfully waiting for a train containing my lost love to come in whilst standing next to a pile of battered suitcases.

This afternoon Jon has kindly emailed over the first of the shots of me, so I thought I’d share.

I’m really pleased with the resulting picture, probably owing more to the photographers skill than mine as a model! There could be more to come, though there’s always the chance that this was the only one not too awful to send me….

This was also the outfit I wore on Saturday for the first England game, see, you can do red and white without wearing a football t shirt! Though I didn’t look quite so elegant swigging from a beer bottle….

Not often I get to do an outfit post with a photo taken by a professional photographer!

    Simply gorgeous! Where is your necklace from?

    • Retro Chick June 17, 2010

      The necklace was an 18th birthday gift from my Parents. It’s a simple silver locket.
