Hello all, yes I'm still alive and yes I'm still pregnant  no sign of baby yet but I think if he's not out in the next week they're going in to get him lol I am now officially HUGE, I've put on 3 stone which is hard to carry when you're not used to it and, although escaping largely unscathed by strecth marks, my bum cheeks look like a purple road map of Belfast!! I can't wait to return to the gym and try and look like me again!

Just really wanted to say congrats to you all (I am swallowing my jealousy for this!) as I've been watching the galleries and am so impressed with the work being produced at the moment. Some of my favourite sets just off the top of my head, Michael Murphy and Thorsten's rock-chick-style shoots are publication worthy no doubt, fantastic colours, Tim Cully's black & white work especially with Lindsey and Lou_B, Alan Wells' latest shoots (saw a cracker with Jinx) as well as some fabulous street lighting shoots, head shots and various art nudes. The standard of the bulk of this work is now really high, much more so in my humble opinion, than many of the other portfolio sites. The effort also going into settings, lighting, make up and models' styling is really impressive! I will try not to be too depressed that you all went and got AMAZING when I had to go into hibernation

I will come on as soon as I can to show you Che Michael, even though all babies just look a bit "squishy" until they grow into their skin lol I'm now going to reply to everyone's lovely emails which I have neglected while I've been busy walking, cleaning and generally trying to make the womb an uncomfortable place for the wee man! Thank you all for your kind words and keep up the great work.

Best wishes to you all,

Lx
