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...

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….

The photos have now been uploaded from the Motorcycle Trade Expo!! (Sorry for the delay!)

Click on "Pictures" and check out the "shows" section and you can see all the pics from Michelle, Jenny and Laura's visit to the NEC in January!

Enjoy...

Recently we asked for volunteers to put themselves up to the challenge of being a fluxbabe. I've been one since the dawn of time....... well, back in 2003, where I distinctly remember being in a bikini in a barn in the middle of december with no heating. It wasn't a pleasant experience and I think Ellie and Laura, both original fluxbabes, would agree that the photos are best forgotten!


Anyway rounding up the volunteers it seemed a very large percentage of them work on my department...... so I've become mummy fluxbabe and have been doling out advice for the last couple of weeks! As the girls all work for me on a daily basis dishing out advice on how they can look hotter is quite bizarre....... but having seen the pics I'm very proud of them!


So.... go service girls Keely, Sarah J, Sarah G, Kelly, Kayleigh H, Emma, Jade, Megan, Sam, Gemma, Kayleigh S, Ann and Leanne!

Last weekend three of us 'babes' did a spot of moonlighting for the Bikesure section of Adrian Flux at the Motorcycle Expo 2008 at the NEC - if you like your bikes (no pun intended) go to http://www.bikesure.co.uk/!




Here's a pic of us in our Bikesure get up...l-r is Michelle, Jen and Laura.




A great time had by all, and a big hi to all of the lovely people we met there. Special mention must go to the Michelin man, who I now plan to stalk and marry. Is that legal? Who cares. I'm in love.




Til next time.............
