For any Ivory Flame megafans out there; I finally sorted my 2011 calendar – ‘Colour, Opulence & Beauty’. Hurray! π
It’s a bit late I hear you say. If I can explain myself – I did start putting it all together using international printers RedBubble (as suggested to me by the lovely Maria Eriksson) at the beginning of December, and then sent off for a test calendar, as I wanted to check the quality and that everything printed fine before putting it on sale. But then it took ages with Christmas orders and then the snow came and it was delayed in the post an extra week or so, and finally after waiting and waiting it arrived today, on the eve of the New Year! So if you order it now it’ll hopefully arrive by mid January latest and you won’t miss out too many days π If I do one again I promise I will get it ready to order way in advance! π

This is the first calendar I’ve made and it was really difficult choosing 12 final images for the final collection out of the many favourites I have, but I decided to focus on rich colours and stunning imagery that I hope will please and inspire viewers for each day of every month of 2011. I tried to include images that are not just of me, but great photographic visuals that people might enjoy looking at on their wall. It features nude, fashion & art inspired themes, with luscious settings and gorgeous styling, captured by some of the most incredible & talented photographers around the world.
There’s a few popular ‘classics’ like the homage to Flaming June, the statueque ‘woodland nymph’ and my dream-come-true underwater shot (on the cover), as well as new photos from this last year including the beautiful Lilith by Zhang Jingna, an opulent feast with Rebecca Tun and corset adorned liasons with Madame Bink.
