Ok guys! I'm part of a team that is putting together a Metal compilation CD to be sold for the charity NSPCC. We have the bands all ready to get recording in July and have lots of press/exposure organised! The CD will be sold internationally on the internet AND in music shops all across the UK! :D

What we need now is a design for cover/packaging of the CD! We have some fab prizes -
*we will credit you in a "thanks" section and write your name/webpage on the packaging itself
*A signed print of any of my pictures in my gallery :D
*A I will post up all the entries as I get them too :)
*A $25 gift certificate for www.StarrlightJewelry.etsy.com



Many Thanks to Lady Starrlight for her generosity! :D

This will be great exposure for the artist and helping a very worthy cause too! ^_^

If you would like to take part, send me a message and I'll give you all the technical info :D

thanks!

I had a shoot on the 7th of April with the amazing Paindancer Productions www.modelmayhem.com/paindancer2

It was an awful lot of fun, dressing up in Manga / J Rock style and wondering the streets of Manchester's China Town!

What with him being extemely busy and having to get back to the USA, I only just received all the pics last week - but they are well worth the wait! ^_^







And just cause it was too funny NOT to shoot it:



He He! ^_^

Current mood:  exhausted

Yesterday I went to London and back to do a shoot for "Slim at Home" magazine: www.slimathome.co.uk/

I used to weigh 13 stone 10, but am now a healthy 8 stone 4 so they thought I would be a good feature for the magazine! :)

Taking my trusty diary, I wrote down my day to share with you all, so here we go!

8.20 AM
Arrived at Hull Train Station. Went to the loo, the attendant was no where to be seen. Left my 20p on the desk anyway. Sometimes I'm too honest for my own good.
Big grrrrrrrr goes to the lack of Pepsi Max available in this station! Will have to make do with diet coke =(
Sat on the platform, waiting for the train. Didn't sleep well last night so feeling tired and weak.

9.00 AM
Why does every train journey in the UK seem to change at Doncaster? Yes btw, I'm changing at Doncaster.

10.00 AM
Just changed at Doncaster. Its quite chaotic on this train, everyone seems confused and in a hurry!
Already hearing different languages being spoken, which is really exciting for me! I normally only ever hear Yorkshire (which is a language, NOT an accent)
Everyone keeps staring at me, giving me strange looks :s
This train has Wifi internet access - wow!

11.00 AM
I'm sat next to 2 older gentlemen on the train. They are balding and wearing tweed suits with shiny brown shoes. Their dialog is fantastic! An example of an overheard conversation (no joke!):
"I say old chap! Look at these quirky little fields, all black you see"
"Oh yes! Quite! The water level is higher here you see"
"Ah yes! Excellent for sugar beet I'll wager"
"Indeed!"

12.15 PM
I'm in the back of a black taxi cab, he doesn't know where the road is that I need to get to, so is reading a map while he drives, oh dear :s
Just gone past a pub that looks victorian in style but is dark green and brass in colour. It looks really steampunk and is called "The Rocket" :D

1.15 PM
The location for the shoot is a really swish house! Every inch of it is wonderfully decorated, it screams millionaire!
I want to steal the living room chairs.



Feeling horny? he he!



2.30 PM
The team here have put on a beautiful salad and fruit buffet, very ice indeed!
Its all getting mad in here, around 20 women running around chatting, eating, hair styling, scrambling for make-up and clothes. Much fun.
A lady has just come in and painted my nails bright pink for me (I didn't choose the colour!) I could get used to this!

5.30 PM
Really enjoyed the shoot. The MUA gave me beautiful curly hair which I adore! The photographer (Ant) was really lovely! The little dresses I got to wear were really girly and cute :)
The editor informs me I'll be getting a 2 page spread in the magazine which is fantastic! My issue will be August or September, cant wait to see it!
These shots will show a totally different side to Necro, they are very girly and cute. They are also quite natural, in reality I'm forever laughing and these shots are all smily and happy!

6.25 PM
Waiting for my platform to be announced. It's very busy at Kings Cross! I'm sat down tucking into a hot chocolate and chicken bagette sandwich.



Ate my sandwich too quick and now feel sick :s Also have burnt the roof of my mouth with my hot chocolate. I really need to stop eating in the manner of a half-starved wart hog.



The toilets here are 30p lol! Took a pic while I was in there to show my lovely curly hair <3



Sorry about the scruffy appearance, my leather jacket is really old now, plus its a size 12 so it drowns me! :s

9.30 PM
Arrive back at Hull Station. Mum has just text to ask me to pick up some milk on my way home - back to reality!

CONCLUSION

I LOVE LONDON! I want to go back ASAP and explore it properly!

I actually really like bright pink nail polish :o

I need a properly fitting jacket and a pair of curling tongs

Current mood:  determined


Are you an unsigned Metal act/band based in the UK?

Are you wanting to take yourselves to the top?

Are you ready for an amazing opportunity?

Yes to all of the above? Then read on...




Ten very special acts/bands are needed to appear on a metal compliation album to raise money for the NSPCC:


The CD itself will be a fully packaged and professionally recorded album of original metal tracks from unsigned acts/bands throughout the UK.

It will be advertised both locally and nationally, in press, radio and possibly television (via local news shows etc.)

It will be sold both nationally and locally in shops (we are aiming for the big chains), at festivals, at gigs and via the internet.

We are talking BIG exposure here - being on this album will give you a massive promotion opporunity, as well as commanding the attention of the UK metal scene - and who knows where it will lead?




We need 10 bands/acts to record one of their tracks for the album.

It will be recorded in a new professional purpose-built recording studio based in Hull (East Yorkshire).

The Sound engineer and producer of the album will be Dan Foster, who studied Engineering/Production at the prestigious school of audio engineering (SAE) where upon graduation he went on to work with artists such as Sweet Box, Dana International, Jane Macdonald and Manchester United to name a few.

Additional to this Dan has worked extensively in the Radio industry and toured internationally as a professional Keyboard player. Boasting 25 years of musical expertise, he is the perfect man to bring this project to life!

The aim is to record each band, one after the other, in 10 days. We are looking for a film maker to make a fly-on-the-wall documentry about the making of this charity CD that will hopefully be sold in DVD form with the album as a special edition version.

The recording of this album is being seen as an event in itself, with the best unsigned metal bands coming together from throughout the UK to end child crulety. We hope to raise the profile of metal music in the general publics eyes by taking this often misunderstood/feared genre and doing something positive with it. Think about it - you could be a part of a change in the perception of metal music as a whole!

We need each band to COMMIT FULLY to this project - to push this album as much as possible - to do some leg work by contacting their local press/radio/TV (which ever part of the UK your from!) and generally making sure this album is in the public eye. we need lots of copies of this CD sold to help vulnerable children in the UK!

Think you have what it takes?

Send us your myspace URL (hopefully with somesort of demo up so we can see what you sound like!) and an explanation of why you believe you should be included on the album to this myspace:

www.myspace.com/divineoblivionband

or email:

Thank you for taking the time to read this, please re-post so we can spread the word!
