Day 5 - Radio shows, music videos and Catwalks

Hello! Wishing you an amazing day :) 

Well! Simply been up to LOADS, I'll try and put it all in sequential order.




Actually... before I begin... TriggaDon's Padded Pen video has been released!! Finally! You remember those pics from Day 1 of my blog...? This is the hot hot video including most of the Bass Honey family! :) So very proud and so much love going out to all my girls for this... :) Massive love to Trev, Trigga, and Tobias for the making of this piece! - Bass Honeys big bit is about halfway through, check it out, all you lovely people. 

Now onto the latest news from the Bass Honeys news desk - First up - A photoshoot with Dionne Vincent - This was a little promo shoot for Bass Honeys

You can buy Bass Honeys T's and Hoodies from a lovely little place called Dizzy Jam :) If you're a business owner and fancy getting your wee logo's onto clothes then check it out - They do all the hard work and you just get a % of the profits (may only be for the uk - Have a little looksee)

Yup, Bass Honeys were invited onto a Radio show.... Oh my goodness!!! 

Ali Love - Bass Honeys PR

So we came, we saw, we talked... Was a rather peculiar experience to be talking in to a microphone about this and that... Ali Love and I represented from the Honeys fam. 
it was on Nia and Caspers show, they were so amazing and put us right at ease! We  concentrated on the upcoming goodies we're involved in, but also highlighted a couple of things we'd been involved in, like BrisFest and NASS festival.


Apparently we're alright on radio, and thus were promptly requested to rejoin the Ujima Radio crew for Julius's show, who was absolutely hilarious! This was on the following Wednesday!  Both links are below, if you have a minute, and fancy enjoying a good Bristolian podcast, have a wee look :)  Or perhaps you're just interested to hear what 2 little ladies from Bristol sound like...? Check it out anyhow... 

Day 4 - DnB, Dubstep, & politics

Hello gorgeous amazing people!! 


Yes I really am that happy - Today has been incredible! We've been shooting Adam F's music video for the track 'When The Rain Is Gone'. Location was at Elizabeth Shaw Chocolate Factory in Bristol, a rather run down looking abonded-esk building (which played host to random gym in the middle of it?!), with a whole host of lovely people including the man himself, Adam Fenton. Adam F has had collaborations with such other artists as  Missy Elliott, Pendulum, and Destiny's Child just to name a few.

It was amazing to be asked to come down and get stuck in... He asked for a few girls and 2 boyfolk from my Bass Family tree (Bass Honeys & affiliates...) - So I'd asked: 

• Ayla
• Sam Hunt
• Laurel Alabama
• Roxy (Rachel Crocker)
• Ali Love
• C-Strike-Z (Danny Mackie) brought along Ryan O'Confidential (who also happens to be a philosophical poet.. See below for links)

featured in the music video

We were first asked to do a club scene, whereby myself and Alicia jumped on a box in the middle of this club-scene, which in real life was a large room in the run down building covered in debris... We got to meet some amazing and beautiful girls and boys - One of which, an incredibly funny chap called Gonzo (see link below), whom of which we got on with very well with - Namely making lots of jokes, involving impersonations of European porn stars... 


We stopped for lunch after that (tiring standing about) morning (!) FREE food from the catering truck = A very happy young lady...

crew in Bass Honeys

Round 2 infront the cameras involved standing and looking as cool as possiblé as an air cannon was ejecting bits of foam, dust and paper at our heads.... Organic dust though mind - Get your tie dye out! Was all very funny especially as all the tall folk kept getting thunked in the head! (we were insured, so it was all ok incase of injury)


Anyhow - Spent weeks getting excited, and now its all over, I can't wait to see the finished result. Genuinely is such a lovely feeling to be asked to be a part of such a huge project. 
Means that all the years of building up a reputation and working hard on organising various performances and promotion, really works. 


The video should be ok to upload here.. Hopefully that is the case, if it isn't then I shall delete this last paragraph, so's not to waste your time on reading it :)






Here's a link to another video which Bass Honeys have been a part of which has also been aired on MTV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxQa0_BIdks


Someone said to me yesterday: Decide what you want to be doing.... It should be simple and easy to focus on. Imagine you're drawing a bow and arrow. Pull back the string and fire! And don't digress.


Really simple words... Yet so easily overlooked or not taken to the degree which could motivate... I however shall carry this statement with me 

Photography by Blink Of An Eye -
Model: Maria (Trix) Bass Honeys

What else in the world of the Bass Honeys - Well, we're doing a Cancer research charity catwalk on the 24th of February which is all getting finalised at the moment... Its a subject close to a lot of peoples hearts, myself included. 
We all know folk whom have been affected by cancer, so it's a privilege to be a part of a project which shall aid in raising funds for research into the prevention and alleviation of symptoms. 
This is alongside the incredible photographer/entrepreneurial woman Natalie Rodley-Haines who runs the Blink of an Eye photographic company.






















There's a few other projects in the pipeline... Other than that... If political findings are your thing... Thought I may add an interesting little video which is riddled in irony and beautiful inspiration. Check it out - 

Biggest love and prosperity in the new year - Happy 2012
