Tour Tour Tour


I am a very keen lacrosse player and every year we go on tour to Salou (spain). Basically its a big piss up with fancy dress everywhere and a bit of lacrosse thrown in! A few weeks before tour we are given the fancy dress themes for each night and then everybody flocks to Primark. Last year they were, tight 'n' bright, cavemen and emergency services. As im sure u can tell the pic above is cavemen/women.
So my bag is packed along with my camera of course and in less than 5 hrs I will b on the 26hr coach trip 2 Salou. See u all wen i get bak... hopefully a little bit browner :-).

Kangaroo sports presenter



Charity + Fancy dress= win!!! So I got my role for news day and I was sports presenter... this was perfect as I wanted to raise a bit of cash for sport relief. Also a great idea for a story to cover. Me and my camera woman Amy went down to Sainsburys to view some of the T-shirts and other accessories. We spoke to a woman called Karen who was a bit of a legend. I say that because while we were editing we stopped it at a very unflattering moment for her. She was trying to stick her tongue out at her colleague however didn't realise we were already filming. We had a lot of fun rewinding and playing in the studio. She also only took 1 take... what a professional. The video of the package is above and is defiantly worth a watch if you want a giggle.

Why... Fancy Dress?



Students and Fancy Dress go together like peas and carrots. Any excuse to throw on a wig armed with a snakebite and the night is sure to be a winner! I am part of a lacrosse team so therefore that means plenty of socials often with a theme. Its always a better night and there is certainly sure to be plenty more photo evidence when everyone is dressed up. I love fancy dress and if I had my way every day would be fancy dress. Last Friday I was due to go out with my course mates and wanted to show off my knew outfit for no particular reason just that I fancied it....
