I haven&#8217;t been a west end party girl for quite a while and the past 7 days have certainly made up for that&#8230;. I mean, I&#8217;ve always gone out, but haven&#8217;t done back to back nights for quite a while, and I tell you what&#8230; the older you get the harder it becomes!!</p>
<p>So it all started at Swanky Sundays&#8230; theme = the future. Outfits = see below</p>
<p><a href="http://josephinelaurence.com/2008/04/22/party-party-party/the-girls-swankys-130408jpg/" rel="attachment wp-att-15" title="the-girls-swankys-130408.jpg"><img src="http://josephinelaurence.com/files/2008/04/the-girls-swankys-130408.jpg" alt="the-girls-swankys-130408.jpg" width="522" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>Very messy night&#8230; I always find that with fancy dress parties&#8230; is it because you get so excited about dressing up that you get carried away and having one more than you usually would&#8230;???</p>
<p>Anyway, the madness continued into the week, with Crystal on Wednesday night followed by Cuckoo club on Thursday&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://josephinelaurence.com/2008/04/22/party-party-party/me-jac-cuckcoo-180408jpg/" rel="attachment wp-att-16" title="me-jac-cuckcoo-180408.jpg"><img src="http://josephinelaurence.com/files/2008/04/me-jac-cuckcoo-180408.jpg" alt="me-jac-cuckcoo-180408.jpg" width="390" height="393" /></a><a href="http://josephinelaurence.com/2008/04/22/party-party-party/the-girls-swankys-130408jpg/" rel="attachment wp-att-15" title="the-girls-swankys-130408.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Chilled out on friday because I was gonna fucking die from tiredness!! I tell you what, it is bloody hard work&#8230;. getting ready, going out, being entertaining all night&#8230; you probably think I am acting ungrateful or spoiled, but honestly, you wanna give it a go&#8230;. plus I was working every day too&#8230;. whilst I&#8217;m thinking about it, I did this job&#8230; just a modeling one, dressing up as a police woman&#8230; a bit random, but wasn&#8217;t too bad&#8230; we all have to pay the rent after all&#8230; so anyway, I turned up with my friend Jacqui A (see picture above)&#8230; shortly afterwards we got sacked&#8230; I couldn&#8217;t believe it!! I&#8217;ve never been sacked from anything in my whole life&#8230; the woman who we were working for was basically completely mad&#8230; it was like she was from the planet Zog&#8230; anyway, apparently, me and Jacqui had been sleeping on a sofa instead of working, which by the way is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, considering I hadn&#8217;t been near a bloody sofa all god damn day&#8230; and this was enough to get sacked&#8230; I partly blame Jac (sorry babe)&#8230; basically, she had been feeling rather ill, so dragged me off to get chips to make herself feel better&#8230; we got caught&#8230; then binned&#8230; never mind&#8230; as I said the lady we were working for was nuts anyway&#8230; it did anger me though&#8230; quite a lot&#8230; Now I&#8217;m not one for blowing my top, in fact I am probably the most laid back and placid person you&#8217;ll meet, but on this occasion, after being accused of something that I actually hadn&#8217;t done, I lost my rag at the crazy little woman&#8230; I felt bad afterwords about shouting at her, but she really pushed my buttons&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway, after a well earned rest on Friday, it was time to hit the party seen again on Saturday&#8230; Now I have a very good friend who goes by the name of Dax&#8230;. Now Dax is a lovely guy and we always like to help a brother out, he is a club promoter and we tend to swan on down to quite a few of his nights. On Saturday he decided that it was gonna be yet another theme night&#8230; now, I love dressing up as do the rest of the ponies, so the prospect of a theme night is always exciting and a chance to go all out&#8230; The thing was, the theme was Trailer Trash Girls and Country Bumpkin Boys&#8230;. Now considering most of the ponies are from the suburbs of London, we are quite accustomed to Chavs and their dress code&#8230; so not wanting to disappoint, we went all out&#8230;.</p>
<p>The only trouble is&#8230; we were the only ones who did&#8230;that&#8217;s right&#8230; we turned up at a night club on the busiest night of the week&#8230; dressed as trailer trash&#8230; and we were the only ones&#8230; In fact I&#8217;m not even convinced yet that it wasn&#8217;t a wind up&#8230; the looks we got were needless to say, priceless&#8230; In fact at one point 2 of the ponies popped outside for a cig, and as they were trying to get back into the club too nasty girls actually said &#8220;seriously, you&#8217;re not going to let them into the club dressed like that and not us?&#8221; can you believe that!!</p>
<p>Regardless, it&#8217;s been a fab, but knackering 7 days&#8230; I need too sleep it off now&#8230;. x</p>

<p>Last Monday I did a photo shoot for the front cover of 100% Biker magazine with one of my dad&#8217;s bikes&#8230;. for those of you that don&#8217;t know, and most of you probably don&#8217;t, my dad builds old, classic, British bikes such as Norton&#8217;s and Vincents&#8230;. and to be fair is probably o<a rel="attachment wp-att-12" href="http://josephinelaurence.com/?attachment_id=12" title="mallorca-on-the-jet.jpg"></a>ne of the best bike builders in the world&#8230;. sorry had a bit of a proud moment there&#8230; anyway&#8230;. one of my Dad&#8217;s bike&#8217;s has just won an award for the best Cafe Racer in Europe or something, so loads of Bike magazines want to shoot the bike etc&#8230;. so the random thing wasn&#8217;t actually doing the shoot, I&#8217;m used to that, it was prancing around, in my underwear, doing the typical Benny Hill type po<a rel="attachment wp-att-12" href="http://josephinelaurence.com/?attachment_id=12" title="mallorca-on-the-jet.jpg"></a>ses on the b<a rel="attachment wp-att-12" href="http://josephinelaurence.com/?attachment_id=12" title="mallorca-on-the-jet.jpg"></a>ike&#8230; with my Dad watching&#8230; can&#8217;t help but feel it may have been a bit wrong??? LoL So that was last Monday&#8230;.</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t really have that many plans for the rest of the week, so was just pottering around doing the odd silly job to tide me over and then suddenly I&#8217;m on a private jet, going to Mallorca with 2 of the show ponies, Jacqui and Liz where I have been all weekend and I&#8217;ve just got back&#8230;. again random&#8230;</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-12" href="http://josephinelaurence.com/?attachment_id=12" title="mallorca-on-the-jet.jpg"><img width="155" src="http://josephinelaurence.com/files/2008/04/mallorca-on-the-jet.thumbnail.jpg" alt="mallorca-on-the-jet.jpg" height="100" /></a>Liz and Jac&#8217;s on the Private Jet!!!!!</p>
<p>Too top it all off, whilst it was snowing in the UK, it was very hot in Spain, which to be fair I didn&#8217;t really bank on, so there I was, sitting in the sun, having a lovely lunch on the beach (feel free to be jealous whenever you want! ha ha), not realizing just how strong the sun was&#8230;. when I got back to the hotel to take a shower&#8230;. low and behold, I had burnt, in a clear line across the whole of my chest and down both of my arms, whilst the rest of me remains completely white!! This my friends is not a good look I can tell you&#8230; random sun tan behaviour is not big or clever and now I have to walk around like a dick head with this tan until it eventually decides to go!!</p>

<p><em>Liz, me and Jackie&#8230;. Me looking quite red, (see neck line for details)&#8230; and a little bit drunk&#8230; whilst Liz had just finished being a Rock Star in the Kareoke Bar!!</em></p>
<p>Oooooo&#8230; just got motion sickness then as well whilst typing&#8230;. that doesn&#8217;t feel good&#8230;. in fact, may have to go lay down till it subsides&#8230;..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The thing is&#8230;. I don&#8217;t really know what to write about, and I don&#8217;t think anyone would really care about what I do with my life, or what I think about the world, but just incase anyone out there does&#8230; Here is my life&#8230; in the form of a blog&#8230;</p>
<p> It&#8217;s taken me a while to be fair, to get to the point that I want to start writing about myself&#8230;. and even now I don&#8217;t know if I really do&#8230;. you see, although I review other peoples stuff on my show Podfinder Uk, I find it hard putting myself under the micro scope&#8230; I suppose that&#8217;s because when you do, you open yourself up for criticism&#8230;. Now that&#8217;s not to say that I can&#8217;t take it, but I am a sensitive soul and don&#8217;t like thinking about the fact that people might not like me&#8230;. I mean when I read comments on the Podfinder UK site or any other site for that matter and I get slagged off&#8230; it hurts, and then I think about it obsessively for days&#8230;. I don&#8217;t know what this says about me as a person&#8230; or why I would even care for that matter&#8230; but I do&#8230;. I think it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m used to being liked&#8230;. or at least thinking I am&#8230;. Maybe I&#8217;m not and people are just to scared to say??? You see, alot of people say when they meet me that they are intimidated&#8230;. well they don&#8217;t say that of course when they 1st meet me, they later tell me that once we&#8217;re friends&#8230; This is something about myself that I&#8217;ve never really been able to figure out&#8230; you see, in most situations, when I 1st meet people, I tend to feel a bit out of my depth myself&#8230;. but obviously I never want to actually show this, so I front it out&#8230;. I also hate being false, and when you first meet people, that&#8217;s what it always seems to be&#8230; falsed&#8230;. falsed conversation, fake smiling and fake laughing, and I HATE it&#8230;. so I suppose, I just stay quite, and I don&#8217;t know if maybe this comes across as being arrogant or stand offish&#8230; but that&#8217;s never my intention, and when you know me, you learn that that&#8217;s not what I&#8217;m about at all&#8230;.</p>
<p>When I first met &#8216;The Show Ponies&#8217; this is exactly what happened&#8230; You see &#8216;the Show Ponies&#8217; are now some of my best friends but I&#8217;ve only known most of them since 2006&#8230;. I first met most of them on a super car rally that I work on as a model called Carbon Black <a href="http://www.carbonblack.co.uk/">www.carbonblack.co.uk</a>&#8230; The other ponies are also models, and trust me, if you&#8217;ve ever walked into a room, full of some of the most beautiful women in the world, with amazing faces and bodies&#8230;that&#8217;s what you call intimidating!! You can&#8217;t help but size yourself up and compare yourself and think&#8230; am I actually good enough to be here?? But apparently I was, and still am, and now they are my girls&#8230; infact my friends are really the centre of my world&#8230; well apart from my family&#8230;. which to be fair only really comprises of 3 people&#8230;. anyway&#8230;. me and the girls have seemed to pick up the title of &#8216;the show ponies&#8217; and these  are the girls I have the most fun with clip clopping around the west end to parties and generally getting up to mischief&#8230;. It&#8217;s unusual to get a group of girls that&#8217;s so big, so close, and not at all jealous or bitchy towards each other, but against the odds we&#8217;ve done it, and it&#8217;s great.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5" href="http://josephinelaurence.com/2008/03/14/its-taken-a-while/the-show-ponies-2/" title="The Show Ponies"><img width="442" src="http://josephinelaurence.com/files/2008/03/the-show-ponies.jpg" alt="The Show Ponies" height="206" /></a></p>
<p>Talking about great&#8230;. during the week it was my mum&#8217;s birthday and as it was an extra special one, me, my Daddy and my Sister, decided to make a fuss of her and go up to the big smoke, have some dinner and go to the theatre to see Jersey Boys&#8230;. Now, the chances are that you wouldn&#8217;t have seem this musical as it only made it&#8217;s debut last week, but if you get the chance you HAVE to go&#8230; It was one of the BEST musicals I have been to see in a very, very long time&#8230; It&#8217;s about the life and music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons&#8230;. Now, I was actually quite surprised that alot of people don&#8217;t actually know who they are, but trust me you&#8217;ll know their songs. I grew up on this sort of music as the parents always listened to 1548am Capital Gold when I was growing up, so I was kinda brain washed into liking music from the 60&#8217;s and 70&#8217;s&#8230;. Anyway, it is superb and I can&#8217;t recommend it enough&#8230; when I was booking the tickets, I was stumbling around the net looking for reviews on the Broadway show and found this great podcast&#8230;. it tells you all about the show and gives you background on the cast and also the latest news&#8230;. it you wanna go have a look then the address is <a href="http://www.jerseyboyspodcast.com/">www.jerseyboyspodcast.com</a>. or go and watch the show video for a sneaky peek at <a href="http://www.prince-edward-theatre.co.uk/">www.prince-edward-theatre.co.uk</a> and go to view show video. Anyway, if you want a great show then def go and see it&#8230; awesome&#8230;</p>
