Feelin' blue

More from my shoot with Steve Prue in NYC last year. You might have already seen the preview on Instagram.

Latex: Lady Allura | Boots: Fabulously Fetish | Skincare: Bareskin Beauty

While we're on the USA theme, here is a podcast of a recent interview I did for Ds Lifestyle Magazine. Yep, that's me in a black wig, shot by fetisheyes.com.

Spent the afternoon dreaming about decorating the new house. I still have some of this wallpaper left over from when I redecorated my apartment in London; wondering if it will work in the new lounge, which has some original 1750s terracotta-coloured floor tiles near the window. Blue/ orange? :/

That 1920s clock on the mantlepiece died last month, but I'm looking forward to getting my 1930s brass peacock fire-guard out of storage and back in front of a real fire :)

Gothesque magazine editorial

I have an arty four-page editorial in this month's issue of Gothesque magazine, styled and shot by Phine Ka in my hotel room :) It's funny how some of my favourite images have been shot in my hotel rooms, my apartment, other people's living rooms and places like that, rather than always being on expensive rented sets or locations!

I just got home from 24 hours of helping my nan settle into her new place, followed by a green smoothie, a two-hour workout, and lots of housework! I'm not the greatest chef in the world, but I'm a real homebody when it comes to cleaning. I like everything to look, feel and smell wonderful, both for me and my man :) The cats are happy because they got to sunbathe in the garden for a couple of hours while I enjoyed lunch al fresco (with my Bareskin Beauty sun cream) and hung out the washing.

The day before yesterday happened to be Marilyn Monroe's 89th birthday and my 9th modelling anniversary, not that I had time to celebrate!

Next up, Wokingham on Saturday! If you are a photographer interested in a studio shoot with me at a discounted rate, I currently have the morning available at Fine & DanDee Studio on Saturday 6 June for £50ph all-inclusive. They have a dungeon room and a boudoir room too! Email contact@anitadebauch.com if you're interested :)

Oh, and did I mention? I'm on Instagram- follow me if you're on there :D

The Writer

Amazing news! My book, The "Ugly" Girl's Guide to Modelling, will be published by New Haven this year!!!

No dismal self-publishing for me! I have an assigned editor and book designer and marketing person and we're all so excited we could pop!! Tuesday was one of the happiest days of my life. I mostly spent it jumping up and down, calling my mum and my best friend, crying, running laps round the house and drinking champage! I'M GOING TO BE A WRITER!

I will keep you updated of when it's out, of course! It will be available globally, so no matter where you are in the world, you can pick up a copy from somewhere. Please subscribe to my blog for free (top of the right column on this page) to be the first to know when it's available to buy. I think it's the first of its kind.

Appropriately, I thought I would share this classical figure nude I shot with 25th Century Quaker in New York earlier this year. I love the rich colours and painterly feel :) I'd love to shoot more classic nudes like this.

Skincare by +Bareskin Beauty, hair and makeup by me.

I stole the orchids from my afternoon tea at The 21 the day before :p

In other news, I visited Roswell Ivory on her boat this week. It is the cutest thing I ever saw, like something out of The Wind in the Willows! I love the idea of reverting to a simpler, scaled-down way of life closer to nature, believe it or not. I always think I love everything extra decadent but then when I go somewhere more natural and simple I feel so relaxed. I guess there is a lot of material stuff that we think we need to be happy, but really, what do we own that is still making us feel fantastic six months after we bought it?

On that note, go and bid on some of my stuff on eBay. Ha.

Come into my boudoir...

So what have I been doing since I last wrote to you? Well, shooting lots of latex, vintage and fetish, as usual!

I also took my father to see The Hobbit in 3D at the IMAX as part of his birthday treat- a treat for me as well, it was brilliant! I loved literally every second except the bit where the Great Goblin says, "That'll do it!" That was kind of on a par with Legolas skateboarding in Lord of the Rings :| But other than that, really cool. I started re-reading the book in the bath last night but doubt I'll have time to finish it, I have too many law textbooks to read.

I really want to go and see it again but don't think I'll have time between prancing around in latex, lingerie or nothing at all for photographers and designer clients and studying (I'm doing two courses at once atm, one in law and one in nutrition, phew!). I'm adding the Blu-Ray to my wishlist though! ;)

I should probably post a photo! This was taken in my bedroom...

Photographer: Jim Nemer | Hair and makeup: me

In case you're interested in this sort of thing, the wallpaper is an exact replica of the wallpaper that was in the Ritz Hotel's bedrooms in the 1940s! It is shimmering silver and sparkles by candlelight ♥ One cannot live with magnolia paint when one is living the dream!!

In the spotlight with Kaori's Latex Dreams and Julian Kilsby!

More photos from my Kaori's Latex Dreams shoot with Julian Kilsby, as promised! Which do you think is best?

I did the hair and makeup :) Julian gave me as much time as I wanted to style myself so I felt like I could experiment with new old styles from my Style Me Vintage: Hair book. This was a modified version of victory rolls :)

I just finished Day 2 of modelling Jerry Ghionis' Ice Light at The Societies Convention; last day tomorrow! I seem to be spending as much time chatting to photographers passing the stand as I am modelling! For a model, I've been around for a Jurassic length of time- 6.5 years- and at an average rate of about 3 shoots a week, you can imagine how many people I've worked with! The Convention is a great place to catch up and see what people are planning for the coming year :) I may already have managed to swing a trip to Norway this year, fingers crossed! I love visiting new places and shooting under the Northern Lights would be a real experience.

I'm now relaxing with a glass of the Cotes Du Rhone I brought back from France last night and watching a bit of Fawlty Towers! Good end-of-day vegging out fare. Now I just need to make and pack my salad and smoothie for the last day of the trade show tomorrow. Duty calls!
