UESTIONS and ANSWERS
Extracts taken from a recent online interview

1.How did you become involved with life modelling and where did the idea come from to market your talents at party events?

In truth I actually had no vocational leaning towards becoming an artists life model until I attended a London drama school at the tender age of 19.I had already been working as a photographic fashion model since the age of 16 after being spotted in a well-known fashion outlet by a model scout so was used to photographic modelling!
I was sharing a house with five other drama students at the time and I was alone in the living room one evening when one of the girls returned home and joined me for a chat.I asked her what she had been doing that evening and she responded that she had been on a modelling job locally.I then told her about my photographic modelling work to date and she suddenly laughed and told me that it was not fashion modelling but life modelling for the local London art college.
She then informed me that the students at the college would be more than happy to draw a young,toned athletic male model which then put me on my path to modelling for nearly all the London art and fashion schools and various events leading from this work.

My hen party modelling came about by chance when I was contacted via my website by an Australian ex-art student who phoned me out-of-the blue one day to tell me that she was an ex-art student from a well-known London college and her sister had just graduated from the London College of Fashion and was due to get married in a few months.The girls" mother was in fact an art teacher in Brisbane,Australia and was flying out to London for the hen party with several friends and relatives and had asked the sister to find a handsome male life model with a decent body to model for her sister's hen party!
Well-I knew that I had a decent body but wasn't sure about the handsome bit but I naturally went along with it...

I was quite surprised when I took the call and although I was used to modelling nude for several all-female art groups I had not even considered modelling for hen parties but the whole concept of course appealed to me and my naughty nature so I naturally thought that it would be rude to say no and the rest is history........
When I came off the phone I thought to myself " Now why didn't I think of that several years ago!! "

My first hen party was in fact my largest to date with 38 ladies and two of the guests took my details for their friend's hen parties and I then mentioned the hen night party life drawing on my main life photographic model site which began to attract interest until I developed an entire website dedicated to my hen party life drawing and incidently now comes up top result in Google when looking for such hen night party entertainment as the ladies inform me when they call for a chat to book me for their party...

2.What do you most enjoy about your job?

Easy question to answer-Absolutley everything!!
But if I have to describe in more detail then it would be travelling to locations that I would not normally visit and beautiful houses in the countryside meeting all the beautiful ladies.It is not just about being naked in fornt of all the ladies admiring my physique but about the general fun of the parties themselves.
I think that I am probably one of the least narcissistic that you would ever meet and have a great sense of fun combined with charismatic cheek and charm so I really enjoy having fun meeting the ladies and they always tell me how sexy yet non-threatening and female-friendly the life drawing is because although I am naked we are always having fun and the emphasis is on fun and humour!

3.I bet your male friends are very envious of you.What are their reactions to your hen party life modelling work?

When I first started to model naked for ladies' hen parties my friends would all ask and plead with me to invite them and they wanted to join in but after modelling for so many hen parties now they just call on a Saturday to ask how many parties I am booked for and then to see if I am free to meet them afterwards so it has become a matter of course now for my friends.
I recently invited a good male friend to my local health club and as we were both getting changed he laughed and whispered to me did I know and realise that most of the other guys were staring ( probably inadvertantly!) at my penis whilst changing and he said that if the guys were staring he could only imagine what the hen party girls' reactions were as I am very well-endowed when I finally reveal all when nude life modelling!!

4.Tell us something about your job that most people wouldn't know?

Interesting question-I would imagine that most people both male and female after perusing my website would see me as very confident and totally un-inhibited but in truth I am a very sensitive soul and although I do carry the cheek,charm and confidence to model for the party I often wait in the wings like an actor on a first night at the West-End thinking I know I have the goods but will this particular party like my personality or my body but thankfully I have never ever had a bad reaction to the nude life drawing or party yet.
Here is another interesting fact that most people would not know as fact or to chat with me but I am actually a member of the high-intelligence organisation MENSA having a very high IQ so it was either law,science,astro-physices,quantum Physics or hen party life drawing!
A tough choice don't you think........But naturally I chose hen parties!

5.If you didn't do your job what would you choose to do?

Ha Ha! Same answer as the question above....

Although one lady did remark at a party recently that if Robbie Williams was not doing what he was doing and playing stadium gigs then he would probaly do what I am doing.
Now there is an idea for a realty programme if I swapped jobs with Robbie Williams for a week!!

6.What would be your most memorable moment at a hen party?

I think ALL my parties are memorable for different reasons and I do remember then all!!
I guess my favourite moment is actually being revealed as a surprise (in many different guises over the course of all my hen parties!!) to the hen and the other guests if they are not aware that I am modelling but I would have so say that my favourite sexy moment involved a Crunchie chocolate bar and an Australian party!
My most memorable moment would have to be my first party when I was in a very sexy reclining pose on a Chaise-Longue in a private restaurant function room the mother of the hen suddenly asked the hen to go and pose with me.We both looked at the mother in surprise and she read my mind instantly saying "No Simon-She gets to keep her clothes on but you stay naked!" which worked for me as the bride-to-be was totally stunning and it was a very memorable pose together as all the other guests took photographs!

7.I would imagine that some ladies can get a bit excited at your events.Has anything gone horribly wrong?

The ladies naturally enjoy my male nudity and some do get excited asking me all sorts of questions and even more personal anecdotes than this questionaire however,most of my parties tend to be up-market professional ladies who like the idea of tasteful artistic sexy male nudity combined with drawing but without the tacky stripper so the entertainment is quintessentially appealing for all.
However,I was a party recently in SOHO where the girls were very naughty and full of frolics and after about 10 minutes of drawing the session disintegrated into a photo-shoot with all the girls posing with me...

I must emphasise that I am NOT a stripper but of course no party is ever the same and I can tailor the modelling to suit the ladies' requirements whether is it straight conventional life drawing in a studio or a more cheeky naughty time!

8.Do you get guys asking how they can do your job and if so what do you tell them.

Intriguingly enough not as many as one might think because I guess that men can be all bravado and if 'push came to shove' then when they were about to actually model most guys might lose their nerve at the last minute.I do work alone with sometimes two or three parties in one day when I am able to accommodate them all with travelling.....But the thing that most guys forget and I seem to have mastered is that it is also about presentation,charm,style and taste keeping a great sense of humour about the modelling as opposed to just standing there and saying "Check this out girls" which would definately not work and would be a crude,cheap imitation indeed.

9.What is your most amusing life modelling anecdote from your mainstream modelling work as opposed to hen parties?

I was booked to model for a very exclusive girls" private school sixth form in Surrey for three consecutive classes in 2009 after the young female art teacher at the school met me at an evening life drawing class in London at one of the top art colleges.The very first class was very formal and straightforward with only 12 young ladies drawing when I returned to model for them the very next week the art teacher was giggling as she met me at the reception and she expained that the girls were all very excited at drawing their very first male nude model and they had been telling their friends who had in turn "googled" my life drawing model website! The teacher,students and myself had not realised that the life drawing sessions were open to the entire sixth form regardless of whether they were taking art A level or not and when the teacher and I neared the art room she stopped at a window and beckoned me over whilst still giggling and to my complete bemusement we both counted an awesome audience of 64 excited ladies all ready to draw.........

She asked me if I was comfortable with the situation which seemed initially much more daunting than a full-blown hen party but I thought it would be rude not to and boldly walked in and immediately put all the girls at ease with my quick-fire humour and charming,friendly personality.Ironically,this was not my main surprise and when it came time for me to "reveal" all for the commencement of the life drawing one girl who had been staring at me particularly intently just gave a loud cry of "Oh my god!!" and ran out the room laughing....

I guess that I am used to that particular reaction sometimes when modelling professionally for a younger age group and the teacher apologised and when the girl returned a few minutes later the teacher gently reprimanded her and told the class that they were to have a more mature approach to the life drawing (which in all fairness they actually did on that day!!)  However, the girl who ran out explained that she was really sorry and then dropped a bombshell that it was not the fact that she was being immature at all and her next sentence completely amused me as she gasped and exclaimed  "But Miss,I have a picture of him on my wall cut out of a fashion magazine from a watch advert modelling with a female model and just wait until I phone my mum this evening to tell her that her that I have now just seen my fantasy model on the wall completely naked!!"

The advert/photograph she was refering to was a photoshoot I did for a very famous well-known expensive watch company circa five years ago which appeared in all the top magazines at the time and the coincidence continues with this story as I recently modelled for a party in a very exclusive location in Chelsea and there were two ladies present at that particular party who attended the aforementioned school/life drawing classes and remembered me well!!

Of course and needless to say that my style of life modelling is very different when modelling in school sixth-forms,art/fashion colleges and evening classes as opposed to my more relaxed yet still professional style of modelling at hen parties....I do not model for a quarter as many art/fashion college and evening class life modeling assignments as I used to out of a conscious choice made a year or so ago and tend to only model for some old favourite schools/colleges these days.
