Please also peruse my About the Life drawing link opposite for more details regarding tutored or studio hen party life drawing classes.

I am also available NATIONWIDE especially popular locations such as Bath,Bournemouth,Brighton and Oxford with advance notice to travel and model for your party.

I also have properties in the Chester and Central Liverpool areas of the North-West as well as some in London so I am able to stay in these areas should your party be located in the North-West!

I have a holiday home in the beautiful Lake District,Cumbria too and would you believe that I was once booked by a hen party two years ago to model at a party in their rented holiday home located in the next neighbouring village.Although all the girls from that particular party were from the Manchester area I could not believe it when the lady booking me gave me the exact address of the party.I stayed at my cottage which was of course handy and then returned to London a few days later during the week!

I have the use of a female model and friends beautiful home in Wandsworth Town which may be an option for your party location as well as my other female artist friends" studios in various differnet areas of London.Please view the About Life Drawing link for more details.

I do regularly model for several hen parties in one weekend encompassing and encapsulating Friday evenings,Saturdays and Sunday afternoons as well as some week-day evenings too.It is quite usual for me to model for two or three parties in one day on a Saturday and sometimes upto four separate parties but I have just surpassed my personal best and record by modelling for an amazing,awesome FIVE parties in one day all coincidently conveniently located in SW London on May 15th,2010.A memorable day indeed!!

SOME MORE AMAZING COINCIDENCES
Coincidently, most of my London parties tend to fall into the SW London areas and I have indeed modelled for several parties within walking distance of my own home in Wandsworth.The nearest parties being just around the corner from my address in Wandsworth and the a lady once called to book me for a party a few years ago which was originally designated and organised to be held at a flat in Kensington a few months prior to the booking.I then received a phone-call a few days before this particular party and the girl explained that more of her friends had perused the website and had cheekily added themselves to the hen party guest-list thus increasing the numbers of ladies expected........She apologetically explained that the party was now to be re-located to her house in Wandsworth and as I was taking down the new address details I suddenly stopped writing and asked her to repeat the exact address again!!
She did so and to my amusement her house was on my own road and literally eight doors away. Need less to say that I did not ask for my travelling expenses that day and we still wave at each other when passing.....I also have a tendancy to meet and bump in to other ladies from my previous hen parties on a frequent basis when in my local are too!!
You can image my surprise when three ladies walked upto me in my local pub and stated that they hardly recognised me with my clothes on (cliched I know!) and they were ladies who had been to a hen party I had modelled for in Oxford a few weeks before.

I do find it amusingly coincidental that the majority of my London bookings are in the SW London area but even if I am booked in such popular locations such as Bath,Oxford or otherwise the organisers either live in SW London or several of the ladies are from SW London too.....

I modelled for a party at a beautiful holiday cottage in Whitchurch,Shropshire in the summer of 2009 and a few weeks later when I was at a local pub in Wandsworth Town three ladies approached me and to my pleasant surprise told me that they "barely" recognised me with my cloths on and it transpired that although the party was in Shropshire the ladies all lived locally to me in Wandsworth.

I once modelled at at a party in a road just behind my own road in Wandsworth/Battersea and the party was held in a first floor flat with 14 ladies already present at 2pm in the afternoon. The ladies explained that they were expecting a few late arrivals travelling from outside London and that they would leave the front door ajar for them to let themselves in.....I had already begun my second quick standing pose facing the door when two girls bounded up the stairs and rushed in.One girl stopped in her tracks and just stared at me in disbelief ( which most people do anyway so nothing new there then!! ) but to my own surprise she smiled and said " Hi Simon!" and it was my turn to be surprised and it turned out that she had met and drawn me at a hen party in Oxford a few months before but had no idea that I would be modelling for her best friend"s hen party in SW London too.
I have discovered that hen parties are a small world and I have had six bookings via word of mouth from just one party I modelled for in Hammersmith last November.

AN AMAZING COINCIDENCE
I have actually modelled for parties located very close to my home in SW London and once even a party on my on own road only eight doors away (see Hen Party locations!!) However,I recently modelled for a party in Southampton organised by one of the prospective bridesmaids.We established during our booking telephone conversation that she only lived a few minutes away from me in Wandsworth,however whilst I was modelling at the party on Saturday 5.09.2009 and chatting with her I asked her exactly where her flat was in Wandsworth and to my amazement it transpired that I had actually modelled for a hen party about three years ago in her flat before she moved there!!
It is indeed a small world......

ANOTHER AMUSING ANECDOTE-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....

MODELLING AND TRAVEL EXPENSES
My actual modelling fee is £130 for your special day/party and if I am travelling outside Greater London then I do ask you contribute towards my travelling expenses and in this scenario have found that the costs are usually an extra £10-50 depending on location and method of travel but travel expenses outside Greater London can be negociated in this instance as I am flexible.I invariably travel to your party by public transport and if you book me in advance then I usually able to purchase my rail travel tickets in quite inexpensively in advance thus helping to keep your hen party costs to a minimum.I am never gratuitous when asking for my travel costs and am very fair with fares! If I can walk as opposed to taking a bus then I wi
