The golf creeps..

I happened to bump into Jean (ie Miss Cork 2008) in the hospital yesterday, and it seemed as if I arrived at the right time. They were talking about doing promotional shots for the Surgeon Noonan Golf Classic. The girls from my class are arranging a golf activity for the doctors in order to raise money for hospitals in Africa. I sat there in the hospital canteen with the girls brainstorming about ideas for a golf themed photo shoot. I got all excited about it and decided to help with the photo shoot styling.

Sifting through my closet with a bit of googling, I came up with a few outfit ideas for the shoot. I know that a lot of people would think my outfits are a bit ridiculous, but with me being an over the top person, I didn't want to prepare typical golf outfits. I consulted Fi, of course, and she was lovely enough to get involved in this shoot too. Bare in mind, that today is her birthday!

Happy Birthday Fi, Mwah xx

The Surgeon Noonan girls also brought some golf props including golf clubs, a retro white leather golf bag, and massive golf umbrellas. The photo shoot location was on the UCC campus in the main quad. It was hilarious seeing people lurking around, trying to figure out why the hell there are people dressed in golf outfits on campus.

After styling Jean, who looked class as usual. The fab photographer Miki Barlok suggested for someone else to be in the shots. The second person's character was to be Jean's slaved assistant. I went ahead with being that second person even though I didn't intend to. I felt like a midget standing next to the towering Jean, who happened to be in heels too! but I had a brilliant time.

I quickly changed into character with the help of Fi, and we got into action.

Here are a few shots from behind the scenes..

On LJ: checked blazer and head scarf (Vintage), brown top, velvet cigarette pants, and socks (H&M), shoes (Unisa), glasses (Commander Solamonder in DC)

"So there I was sitting in the library looking outside the window, when I saw this big group of people in the quad, some wearing golf clothes. And I thought to myself 'what the hell are those creeps doing?'.... I hear that you were one of the creeps!" - a text from my friend Odhran

Thank you to everyone who was involved in this shoot, and thanks for the box of chocolate Susan!

Look out for a photo in the Echo and Irish Examiner, and support Surgeon Noonan everyone!
