9.What is your most amusing life modelling anecdote from your mainstream life modelling 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 observing ettiquette and boundaries 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.

I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of my modelling work and although I am admittedly concentrating more on my televison commercial,editorial fashion clothed and events promotion modelling work as opposed to life modelling work in art/fashion colleges I shall continue to enjoy the amazing success and fun of my hen party life drawing parties!
