Wedding Ideas Awards at The Brewery, London Town

http://www.laracrudgington.co.uk/

Last night I went to the Wedding Ideas Awards http://blog.weddingideasmag.com/category/awards/ with accessories designer Rebecca Doyle (owner of Chez Bec www.chezbec.com and wedding dress boutique Isabella Grace www.isabellagracebridal.com) and photographer Claudine Hartzel

www.claudinehartzel.com/

WHAT A BRILLIANT NIGHT!

Chez Bec retained her crown (or should that be tiara) as winner of 'Best Wedding Accessories' - so it was only right that we partied hard with champagne and cosmopolitans to toast her success!

Andrew Lloyd Webber - 'The Story of Musicals'

www.LaraCrudgington.co.uk

A couple months back I went to Andrew Lloyd Webber's beautiful country house with TV production company TwoFour to do his hair and makeup for a TV interview that was part of BBC Four's 'The Story of Musicals'.

If you loved West End shows 'Cats' and 'Starlight Express' like I did, then you'll really enjoy watching all of the fabulous archive footage and recent interviews with the likes of Elaine Paige, Bonnie Langford, Sir Trevor Nunn, Sir Cameron Mackintosh, Sir Tim Rice and Lord (Andrew) Lloyd Webber in this three part series.

You can catch up on it here on the BBC iPlayer:

Filming with actors Geoff Bell and Brian Croucher

http://www.laracrudgington.co.uk/

Brilliant time yesterday (despite the freezing temperatures after dark) on the set of a gangster film called 'Coolio' filming with British actors Geoff Bell (from recent TV series Treasure Island on Sky 1, RocknRolla and The Business) and Brian Croucher.

We were filming at The Spa Valley Railway Station in Tunbridge Wells amongst and on the iconic steam trains.

Thankfully we were able to keep warm huddled around a big woodburner the train drivers had made out of an old gas cylinder. Toasty!

Two Fat Ladies

www.LaraCrudgington.co.uk

At the beginning of December myself and Makeup Artist Riva Williams worked on a short film called 'Two Fat Ladies', directed by Martin De Lange, starring Anna Crilly (who played grumpy housekeeper Magda in Jack Dee's TV series Lead Balloon), Hazel Douglas (who played Professor Bathilda Bagshot in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1) and Beryl Nesbitt.

The film is set in a bingo hall and is about two 'warring' old ladies - Maud (Beryl Nesbitt) and Bertha (Hazel Douglas). 

Here are couple of behind the scenes shots:

I'm attending my first session working with an amazing cancer charity called 'Look Good Feel Better' at Maidstone Hospital in Kent today. The charity teaches women going through chemotherapy how to combat the visible signs of treatment using skin care and makeup products and by the end of the session the ladies should all feel wonderfully pampered and will leave looking really lovely.
