A couple of weeks ago Richard and I spent a wonderful weekend in Surrey.  We stayed at a friend's house...well they were more Kim from Club Rub's friends, but I guess they're ours now too!  They have this amazing 200-300 year old mansion house and we spent the whole weekend doing photo shoots and getting drunk.  Man life is so tough sometimes ;)

A while ago Kim asked Richard to take photos for her club flyers which will be used from July 09 to December 09 - and I'm on two of them :)  So a couple of weeks ago we trundled off down to Surrey.  I did one shoot for the Club Rub Rubber Awards which will be happening in September.  I had to stand on some steps and act all uber goddess like whilst holding on to the chains of my two latex clad beasts.  The final image is absolutely stunning even if I say so myself!  But I do think it belies the truth of the experience though...Richard brought a smoke machine along and trying to coordinate posing, lights, wind and smoke proved to be somewhat tricky so we spent a lot of the time looking like kinky gorillas in the mist lol!  I'm not allowed to put the final photo up on the site until it has been used for the flyer...but here's a taster photo attached to the blog.

That weekend Richard did four shoots - I helped out as his subby assistant for three of them...mostly with a hangover on the Sunday lol.  After we'd finished the shoots on the Saturday we went into the local town and picked up fish and chips - it was great sitting into this very grand house, eating chippy chips!  Then the party started.  We all got drunk (there were seven or so of us), sat around gossiping and having a giggle...then we got some toys out!  For the first time ever I tried a straight jacket on - and I have to say I liked it, I found it very calming; it made me feel safe but vulnerable at the same time - a very nice combo.  at about 3am we all decided to put latex on (those of us that weren't already in latex)...then spent some time having a 'model off' lol...I did my model off wearing the straght jacket - that was rather amusing if not slightly eccentric hehehe...

So all in all it was a really fun, silly and fab weekend - and I have to say very stereotypically English - you know..."those nice folk down the road in the big house that have strange parties, dress up in weird outfits and play funny games with each other"...I thought it was the perfect kinky fairytale with truly lovely people.
