Last Friday myself and a few fellow 'babes (Sammi, Jemma, Laura and one of our Newbie's Gemma) who are all from different departments, were lucky enough to be asked to represent the Fluxbabes and take part in a photo shoot for Fast Car magazine!

Not really knowing what to expect, I arrived at work with an arm full of clothes and and a car boot jam packed with shoes! and between the five of us we managed to pull together some sexy office attire!

With the help of Holly our make-up artist, Scary and Trev from Fast Car and of course Dan the photographer - it made for a really great day! and we can't wait to see the final results! I did however manage to get hold of a few of the shots so here's a little sneak preview...

So make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the next few months editions of Fast Car!

Behind the scenes videos and pics will follow shortly...

In reply to Jem's previous post - Ryan Giggs!?? of all the footballers out there she opted for the hairy welsh guy? Hmmm. Admittedly in my younger years I probably had soft spot for Ian Wright! But seriously - Giggs??

He may have left the gunners now - but have you not seen this guy!...

'nuff said!!!

Giggs may have won a trophy or two this year...but when it comes to beautiful football...well we all know which team would be most worthy of that praise!...

As Jemma so politely mentioned before, I did manage to stay on my feet for the entire night at her birthday do, despite wearing these shoes.......






Quite impressive for one as clumsy as me. And when the vodka had been flowing quite freely - hey, a girl is only 27 once and it needs to be done in style! My 27th is also coming up soon - myself and Jemma being two of the oldest 'babes'. We'll be botoxing before you know it. Here's a slightly 'tired and emotional' pic of us from her birthday evening - notice the multitude of glasses in front of me. Hmmmm!


Happy birthday Jemima - roll on 30 hey!

A couple of weekends ago 3 of us ‘babes’ teamed up with Volksworld Insurance Services and morphed into Volksworld Insurance Services Babes for the 2-day show held at Sandown Park

(L-R – Laura, Charlie & Jem)

In true March form, it was a rainy weekend but luckily our stand was indoors (good job considering our outfits!) and we were surrounded by some amazing bugs and buses, of which we still can’t decide our favourite! However, the weather didn’t stop the huge turnout – or those camping! The show had a great atmosphere and we got the chance to get out of the office and meet some great people. Our lovely Laura also presented the winners their trophies at the end of the show!

Check out our video

and photos of the show.

A special thank you must go to the man who brought us bottles of water and the guys who supplied the chocolate to keep us going!!

Not to mention at big thank you to the VWIS guys for looking after us and letting us steal their Volksworld hoodies – they were much appreciated!

We hope to see you all again next year!


NB – Apologies for the lack of beetle key rings….delivery issues….

I would just like to add further to Jen’s earlier post, a special mention to the 2 girls who were a couple of rows in front of us. They were stood up ready from the moment the last support act finished, and throughout the half an hour set change, before the Gods came to rock our worlds….

…Now that’s love and dedication…(Jen why weren’t we standing?)

It also, wouldn’t then be right to forget the girls sat behind us, declaring during the set change that they really didn’t want to be there, had no intention of standing up, were bored and would rather have stayed home…until Jared and Co took to the stage… then they were off down the front loving every second…
I still can’t quite believe how close to Jared we actually were, and just how brilliant they are live…. ‘A Modern Myth’ will never be same again….

Us flux babes don't just hang about at shoots and shows together, some of us are chums outside the world of lycra as well. Jem and I share a mutual love of music and so last week found ourselves trekking off to see 30 Seconds to Mars at Hammersmith Apollo. The michelin man hasn't been returning my calls so I've had to face up to the fact that I'm just not his type (bright white and rubbery?) and move on ..... sigh .... sniff........ and can now officially confirm that both myself and Jemma are in love with Jared Leto (lead singer and GOD).

You can see us above waiting with excitement in the queue - which we were quite frankly lucky to join after Jem's shockingly bad time keeping skills - she realised whilst we were running for a train that we should have been there over an hour earlier. Maybe she is just a pretty face after all?? Our legendary mascot and honorary fluxbabe Bruce came along for the ride as well, music lover that he is!

So what can we say about the show itself? Amazing! We came back bruised and sore from all the jumping around - but that's nothing compared to Jemma's other half who managed to get hit by a car on the way home after a few sherries in London town! Hope the magic left foot's better now Liam.....

Altogether now....come... break me down..... bury me bury me..... I am finished with you!
