I am currently squealing with excitement as the Project has been moving further forward at a Foxtrot pace!
2011 has so far been a very inspiring year in terms of where we are headed and how beautifully things are coming together.
I have extreme pleasure, pride and satisfaction in announcing world-renowned photographer Mike Owen as our very own P.U.G Project calendar photographer!!! Eeek!! Double squeak!!
Within his (over 25 year) career Mike has worked with the creme brule of world celebrities from Pavarotti, Dame Shirley Bassey, and Joan Collins to modern-day icons such as David Beckham, The Spice Girls and Kylie Minogue. Not to mention his work in 1980’s with British pop-stars such as Duran Duran and Annie Lennox, the latter of which he also directed in her latest music video.
Over the years he has not only exhibited at none other than the National Portrait Gallery and The Photographers gallery, but his work has also extended into the high fashion world, shooting numerous commissions for magazines such as; Italian Vogue, cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazar, Esquire the list goes on with campaigns for the likes of Bailey’s, L’Oreal and Kangol to name a few! (Er yeah really that’s just a few!)
Most recently he has been the guest photographer on 4 series of “How to Look Good Naked” with Gok Wang, and notably his work has been compiled into a 2011 calendar currently being sold in Clinton’s to raise money for Breast cancer Awareness.

Our PinUp Gals Project calendar will be available in shops from September 2012 the profits of which will be going to a cancer charity (yet to be announced, so watch this space!!)
T-Shirts are expected to go on sale next month ~ for realies this time peeps, so you too can get a piece of the action, and own your very own piece of glamorous apparel whilst supporting a good cause. All profits from T-Shirt sales will go directly into helping to fund the project, so watch out for them!!
The documentary shoot has already begun, tracking the progress of the project and my search for the final pinups.
We are looking for women of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities to represent as broadly across the board as possible, so please step forward and contact us for an application form we would love to meet you.
And finally, media packs are available for interested media or sponsors, please e-mail us to receive one
Much love and health to you always,
I salute you!
Michele
