What A Star!

My beloved and I spent a long 11 hours on set for the album's pictorial yesterday. She did all the hard work. I got to eat Shakey's Pizza.

The location was two different themed rooms at Victoria's Court motel. Like all things in The Philippines, this massive motel chain represents the sort of daily paradoxes you come to accept living here. Despite being an extremely religious and apparently conservative country, Victoria's Court is geared towards solely one thing, cheating on one's spouse. Privacy is of the very highest level including (get this) the encouragement of hand signals to book a room (one finger being a standard suite, five fingers being one of the deluxe themed room) to avoid having to speak to staff and in turn, be recognised at a later and inappropriate date.

I have never been to Vegas but I'm guessing Victoria's Court's themed rooms were a cheap copy of what you may see in the States. That said, they were pretty amazing and are a great novelty concept that I am surprised have not kicked off elsewhere in the world.

Pan down and click on some of the images....http://victoriacourtamh.multiply.com/

My beloved absolutely wowed our photographer and his staff and proved to them what I have known for many years, she is an absolute star.

If any of you get a chance and want to listen to some of the music she is producing and the videos from the shoot, have a look at myspace.com/official[insert name]. Remember my beloved's name is not spelt the normal way!
