TOP 5: Bling Jubilee Court.

On Sunday, I volunteered at the Alternative Village Fete at Battersea Park, organised by Home Live Art.

Together with artists Harold Offeh and Barby Asante, the team of volunteer make-up artists, stylists and photographers created the Bling Jubilee Court. We dressed the public up as ‘Queens of the COMMON-wealth’, then led to a stage and photographed before an adoring crowd (photos over here). Here are 5 of my favourite shots from the day!

1. Our boudoircontained about 50 wigs, a tonne of make-up, a pile of stick-on mustaches,  and 2 long rails of dress up clothes. Naturally, we tried it all on.

2. Two of our dress-up queens. Disco Queens, to be precise.

3. A rainbow of eyeshadow.

4. A gorgeous drag queen popped in to say hello.

5. Harold getting his make-up done.

You can see the full set of my photos over on  my Facebook page.

Oh, and I promise this is my last Jubilee-related post!

TOP 5: Disco.

Oh, Disco! You are so fabulously ridiculous! There are so many more photos I wanted to include in this TOP 5, such as  Disco Tex and His Sex-O-Lettes, and Miss Understood.
