>Superpride Sunday- Birmingham

27 May

>Bank Holiday Sunday we decided it would be nice to do something different, so we planned a road trip to Birmingham to join the Gay Pride Celebrations. We started off at Glas, which held one of the BIGGEST Gay Clubbing events EVER!! ‘Superpride!!’ check out the trailer below….

The tickets on the door were £30, which i thought was quite steep at the time, but later realised they were worth every single penny!

These are my gorgeous friends ‘Lady Krystle’ and Rachael who partied with me Superpride Stylee!

The atmosphere was unreal, so many gorgeous friendly, happy people all together under the same roof having such a good time. As i looked around i realised i was surrounded by a sea of smiley faces…..it was brilliant!

Federation really rocked the place, we spent most of the day dancing on the stage to Feds tunes. they had everything from men juggling fire, dancers, to people dressed as orks…i think thats what they were ha ha!


The Federation Dj’s

At Glas anything goes, thats what i love about these events, you can pretty much wear whatever you like and get away with it, people really make an effort to look different! It makes the place so much more colourful.

Just some gorgeous girls we met in the Loo’s!!

I thought i would have a little dance up on the stage with the scary Federation people! Seemed like a good idea at the time ha ha!

Some more gorgeous Superpride Ravers…..

Lady Krystle’s hat went down a storm!!

There were so many different rooms to choose from we were spoilt for choice, some were open air and some indoors….always handy for cooling down when you’ve been dancing for hours and your hair i stuck to your head with sweat…Nice!!

The dancers made so much effort with their costumes, they looked Brill!


Police men on stilts…….you see it all at Glas!

Obviously this pic was taken at the beginning of the day!!!
Check out my video to give you an idea of the brilliant atmosphere ….

What an amazing Bank holiday Sunday, it helped that the weather was gorgeous too! I shall definately be going to the next Superpride event without a doubt!

 

>Becks Hen do- Cambridge

27 May

>Last weekend we all dressed up and headed to Cambridge for my friend Rebekahs hen do. luckily the weather was beautiful so we found a table by the riverside and enjoyed a drink or two in the sunshine!

A near by table on a stag do were in need of some medical attention, one of the lads was having an asthma attack and had forgotten his Inhaler. My friend came to the rescue and luckily had her Inhaler with her so she offered her services. Therefore, to thanks us the boys bought us a round of drinks and joined our party. luckily for me one of the handsome young men was single and asked if i would like to go punting with him on the river! He bought a bottle of champagne and strawberry’s and cream for the journey…..how could i refuse??!!

This the guy who needed the inhaler, he bet me a drink that he had my name tattooed on his Bum….and sure enough he did!!
Below, me super excited about my first Punt on the River!

I must admit the Punting was something special, probably the most romantic thing anyone’s ever done for me. Awwww bless!

Can’t wait to see my beautiful friend in her wedding dress in two weeks time!

 

>Ministry Of Sound – London

27 May

>What better way to start the bank holiday than a trip to the Big Shhhhmoke!! Luckily for me my cousin is a Dj and managed to bag us VIP guestlist for Ministry Of Sound in London! The event was for the Launch of Judgement Sundays in Ibiza, and playing in The Gallery were the likes of Judge Jules, Richard Durrand, Vicky Devine and my favourite, Marco V.

MOS was definately the classiest and cleanest club i’ve visited in London, the VIP section was something else. Below is my cousins Girlfriend Helen who’s 20 something Birthday we were celebrating! In the middle is my Cousin Mark (aka DJ Marcos) and to the right, one of my bestest buddies Hayley.

The atmosphere was truly amazing, the main room looked quite big and plain initially but as soon as the party people piled in, the lighting effects and awesome music system kicked in, we were off!!! Check out the videos below……………

….And for my favourite part of the night….. Marco V…..i battled my way to the front of the Dancefloor and boogied till my feet couldn’t boogy anymore! Check out the video………..

 

>BMF Bike Show- Peterborough

20 May

>

Last weekend myself and fellow Bikesure Babe Jemma took a road trip to Peterborough for the annual BMF bike show. Accompanied by our quotes boys Grant and Jon, some big bikesure brolly’s and Adrian Flux Hoodies we were ready to face the cold and rain!

We were unable to take our vehicle onto the site so we managed to persuade a lovely man to chauffeur us and our boxes of calendars to our Stand! It’s amazing what we can achieve whilst wearing lycra!


The sun decided to show its face briefly so we took the opportunity to ditch the hoodies . No show is complete without a few pics with the handsome boys in Blue, who obviously stopped to give us some fire safety advice! This is the lovely Jake from Cambridge Fire Brigade…

And of course we couldn’t let the Driver miss out!……..


It was certainly an afternoon for Heroes! From the Cambridge Fire fighters to the Guy below who has just been awarded the George Medal of bravery for Dismantling landmines in Afghan. We were truly honoured to meet him.

We certainly learned alot about the emergency services, whilst spreading the Bikesure lurrrrve !!!


We were also lucky enough to meet the world famous Purple Helmets Stunt Team and were asked to be part of their show on our second day.The act was a Jousting competition, however the jousters were riding bikes instead of horses and we were the Damsels in distress they were fighting for! We were driven into the Arena on the back of a quad and tied a ribbon onto each opponents jousting stick. We then watched them battle one another to the floor and upon greeting them after the competition i somehow ended up rolling around on the floor in the mud with a Purple helmet on top of me!! look out for the video on my next blog!
Below are our favourite Purple Helmets. Their slogan…..’Purple Helmets….total Shite!!!’ brilliant!


Anyone for a race???
They soon realised we were heavier than we looked!…….

No comment !!……..

The wild child in me couldn’t resist the Tiger print!

Totally oblivious to what was going on behind us we posed for a photo. Little did i know there was a bare backside almost touching my head!!

Ross doing his bit for Bikesure….even though he had just been kicked in the face during a stunt and alomst broken his nose…bless! We provided some First Aid, Ibuprofen and some Bikesure bags to dish out!

Ross after a heavy night on the cocktails, nothing like an energy drink for breakfast!

And last but not least, no show is complete without ‘The Bennell’…a previous employee of the Bikesure Sales Team…..

‘ Look what i found!!’

And a bit shout out to the BMF Voluntary Marshalls, who love the show and their job so much, they do it for free!

 

>Watch Babe Claire get thrown around a racetrack in a WESTFIELD!!

11 May

>

This is Claire getting into the Westfield Kit car, she had to wear goggles and put her hair back! You could her the racetrack from a mile off and as soon as we got close you could smell burning rubber! So when we got there and saw other people being thrown round slolam I was pooping myself on behalf of Claire- Who was fearless!
I did the video so I apologise as I’m not a professional

Oh and the person cackling in the background is me!… Apparently Claire in mortal danger makes me hysterical!

 

>Stoneleigh Kit Car Show 3rd & 4th May

11 May

> Firstly me and Claire have to say how wowed we were with all the sporty kit cars, we were practically staring opened mouthed at them I particularly like the Ultima ones – pretty! There were a lot of cars that looked like they were out of ‘Back to the Future’! and a bit too much for mine and Claire’s pockets though! Sigh…


We had a good look around the 2 day show and got out to see all the owners clubs that were camping! I guess me and Claire could have camped…. nah! who are we kidding! How cute is this little pic? they had made a little seat for the teddy and he has his own goggles ready for the windy ride home! :)


This car was opposite our stand that weekend and we fell in love with it, so cute. Me and Claire kept picturing ourselves driving with the top down round the coast with our hair scarves on!

I have taken a pic of our stand because me, Claire, Janine and James were blooming proud of ourselves for putting this up! It nearly had a few of our fingers but we got there in the end. Oh and I nearly blinded a them all trying to put the flag up…
Here is a few more pics of the glossy, pretty kit cars… swoon..

Claire babe-ing it!


Me and Claire in a Hearse Kit car- no honestly!


The men on the stand said they were planning on putting a Jacuzzi in it next year as they had made it open top! :$


In the evenings we all went to sample the delights of nearby Leamington Spa…. and just got take away because we were so pooped! – that was GOOD pizza tho!!

Claire also got to ride a Westfield as they were doing racetrack driving!!

I will try and figure out how and download the video!!

>’Wicked’ The London Musical

03 May

>

I had never been to see a London show until yesterday!! Now I know what I have been missing out on. I had seen ‘Wicked’ being advertised everywhere and my other half actually really wanted to see it as well.
The show started at 2.30pm and finished around 5.30pm with a 20min interval. We got the train from Kings Lynn straight through to London Kings Cross. We should have then got the underground to Victoria Station however over the bank holiday the Victoria Line wasn’t running, which caused mayhem. But my BF’s navigational skills got us there via the District Line to South Kensington and then to Victoria! We arrived a couple of hours before the show started and went for a bite to eat.
We then decided to head back to theatre and waited outside for the doors to open. The cast started to arrive and we found ourselves amongst keen fans who looked as though they had seen it 100 times already. They wore ‘Wicked’ t-shirts and were armed with at least 3 pens (incase one ran out) and note pads ready for the autographs.
The show was great..Its another side to the story, The Wizard of OZ. It explains how the Wicked Witch of the West became wicked and why and how the Tin Man became made of tin and the Lion cowardly and the Scarecrow etc etc….. It really is magical. There is love, lots of laughter and parts that really scared me!! The opening scene is a dragon with red eyes and smoke bellowing out of his nostrils…….!
The vocals are amazing. The lead singer who plays the Witch really can sing and makes your hairs stand on end. But staying that, all the cast were great. I especially liked the Prince, very dashing and his trousers were VERY tight throughout the performance. So no complaints there!!!
But seriously I would recommend this show to anyone.
On the train home I saw my little sister, Helen. She had been to London to see Dirty Dancing and she thought the show was great fun, so I think another trip to the West End is definitely on the cards for me.
