Christmas card of the day

We are used to models being cheeky and we wouldn't expect anything less on our Christmas card this year off a certain cheeky chappy...

Love from Tokyo

We have been missing our gorgeous Kirstie Bennett whilst she has been away modelling in Tokyo but all is fine and dandy, she is due back next week and we cannot wait to see her. Available for bookings in the new year! During this time, we thought it was only fair for her to send us a cheesy picture and tell us a little more about her stay...

How are you enjoying life in Tokyo?  Enjoying it a little too much sometimes I think.

What is the best thing you’ve done there so far? We were invited to Yoshiki Hayashi's birthday party, he's a very famous rockstar over here... nope, can't say I've ever heard of him either, however, he can put on a bloody good buffet.

What is the worst thing that has happened to you? The hangover I encounter every Saturday. (naughty naughty)

What are you listening to? Not Yoshiki Hayashi. The Strokes always help when I'm away from home.

What are you missing from back home? Corned beef hash, potato waffles, spaghetti hoops and reasonably priced fruit and vegetables.

What is the saying/word that you use the most? Mushi mushi- its an obvious one, but it sounds so good.

Do you have any handy travel tips? Pack copious amounts of your favourite teabags.

Do you have a new year’s resolution? I've just watched the victorias secret fashion show. I think I'll look after myself a little bit more next year...

Just a another Boss night out then!

Cloud Nine Hair

Currently taking the hair industry by storm, Kristie Clinch is looking super sleek and straight for the new Cloud Nine hair straighteners. Unlike other straighteners, these apparently don't destroy the hair, so gone are those days of looking like Worzel Gummidge.

Funny ad'


It's not our style to post twice in one day, but this one made us laugh and we feel it's rather apt with the current conditions out there. And then what's more thrilling... the fact that this Rocky mountain Coors Light ad was filmed in a non-rocky and normally non-snowy Manchester or the fact that all the artists look so grand due to our fabulous creative Mr Martin McClean? Definitely the latter! Keep warm folks xXx

Behind the scenes


Awe-inspiring Camilla Roholm shooting this season's Rare campaign with photographer Jon Shard.
