Welcome to my world
I'm just an average 23 year old woman living on a small island but with big dreams.
I'm creating a blog where I hope to find out more about the type of person I really am, as well as striving to make 2012 a truly positive year <3

I’ve had a wonderful bank holiday weekend with so much sunbathing, drinking, BBQs and laughing. There is something about the sun that makes it impossible to feel unhappy. I just wish we had weather like this all the time, or at least more often than we currently do. It’s so nice to be able to walk around in a bikini and sunbathe on the beach and allow yourself to totally chill out and enjoy the sunshine. Plus, how lovely to be able to wear all your summery clothes that have been hung up in your wardrobe just staring at you for half of the year. I feel spoilt for choice over what to wear as I own far too much summery things and hardly ever have the opportunity to wear them.
The Isle of Man is a beautiful place to live when the weather is good. We have so many lovely sandy beaches and it’s just a relaxing kind of place to be. You can really appreciate just how nice a place to live it is when the sun comes out. I feel very lucky right now. Totally happy mood. Hope everyone else has had a wonderful weekend too :)

This photo was taken on the set of ‘You Are My Autumn’.
The Director of Photography wrote this little snippet in his blog which I thought was hilarious:
“I’m working as Director of Photography on a short film being shot on the Isle of Man at the moment called ‘You are my autumn’. The short, written and directed by Richard Plumley, is being shot on various locations across the Island and is now into its 5th month of production…I know, they shot Star Wars in less time than that, but we’re only shooting when we have free time, which in my case is hardly ever. In Richards case it’s 7 days a week.
My job as DoP on this film is to argue with the director, design and set-up the lighting, provide counselling to disillusioned actors who were promised “a one-way trip to Hollywood”, interpret the directors unique vision and crappy stick-man storyboard drawings into something easy on the eye with my camera. I also end-up buying the first round in the pub after the shoot and we only ever stay for one drink. Richard Plumley barks orders at everyone, though he does it well, and take the credit for EVERYTHING.
I took this photo on set, midway through an evening filming session. I’d set the lights up and was shooting stills to show Richard the lighting (because we can’t afford a monitor yet) and I grabbed this. Shot on a Canon 5D MK2 with 24-105L at 24mm. ISO was 640.
Lead actor and actress, Matt Corcoran and Janine Lashmar on set.”

For anyone who has read my blog you may have noticed I occasionally mention a film I’m going to be in. It’s a short film that is being made on the Isle of Man and pretty much centres around the story of a guy who has been dumped by his girlfriend (played by me) and unfortunately that’s all I can really say about it at this point. I really want to get all excited over it but it’s so far from being finished that the initial buzz of being asked to be in it has died down quite a lot now. I think the next “buzz” will be seeing the film completed.
Last night I shot a bedroom scene and I have to say it was one of the most awkward moments of my life! It’s really not at all exciting filming a sexy scene infront of a crew with a director yelling instructions, a camera in your face and bright lights shining down on you! I had a fit of giggles most of the night which actually made the whole thing worse as it meant I had to stand around pretty much naked for even longer as everything got re-set. Luckily, we all had a laugh over it and hopefully the scene will look better than how it felt to do it!*Fingers crossed*
2 more scenes to film and it’s done! Cannot wait :)
