Here is a bit of a long story but I wanted to tell it. We often only hear the bad stories and I wanted to tell a very nice one:

Most of the people who follow us know that Bob and I make all our videos and pictures ourselves. We like it that we because, first of all, we love doing it and , secondly (and more important), we have controle about how everything goes on a shoot.

A few months back I was contacted by Rev. he asked me whether I was interested in doing some modelling for him. Being quite shy and not ready to let go of the controls, I thanked Rev for the opportunity but declined by stating that travelling to the UK would be to expensive.

When summer arrived Bob and I where planning our holidays, we decided that we wanted to make a trip to the UK to visit certain musea and places. We always put it off because travelling to the UK is in fact quite expensive for our budget. If only we had a way to cover the costs a bit. So I remembered Rev's proposition and I sought contact with him. He answered within a few minutes that he still wanted to do a shoot. A date was choosen and everything was set.

At that moment, I ran to the back of the garden to freak out and I did for some days... Not that I did not want to undress for others (I am shy but still naughty and I have done enough naughty things already) but letting go of the controls was a big step.

But from now things got only better. Rev overloaded me with all kinds of information making sure that I was comfortable with coming and filming. Everything was discussed up front and I had a say in every little detail. Every concern of mine was adressed in a serious manner and so I was very happy with everything when Bob and I got on the ferry to the UK.

The filming was done at CandyCustards new studio, so Rev arranged that Bob could stay there for the day too. We were received in the most welcoming manner possible, got time to settle a bit and then I was put to work.

Rev is a man who knows what he wants and who wastes no time and that made it even better to film with him. Everything was perfectly planned, from the clothes in my dressing room to the tiniest details of the shoots. He and his assistant were so polite, reassuring, constructive and caring that it made me feel so secure and I could feel all stress flow away. Under his directions the delightful Messy_Miss Michelle and myself shot hours of footage and made a total mess of ourselves many times in a row. We had such a great time in that studio and I am already longing to get back there.

Most of you know that the Rev recently has made the big step of going fulltime in the WAM video business. After the 100% positive experience with him, I can only say that the best way to support him is to buy the wonderful videos he make. They are worth every penny!! (No I did not get paid to say that (Now that I think of it : Rev, you should pay me extra for that! :kiss).

Glad to hear you had a good time filming with Rev, and that he put you at your ease. Can't wait to see the scenes themselves, and especially as Messy Miss Michelle was involved too...

This gives me the warm fuzzies! You look like you had a great time!

If I want bad news...I read the news. I come here to escape the ugliness of all the real world crap, and enjoy the experiences of others in this strange, wonderful world of mess. I kind of always figured Rev was a stand up guy, even having never met him in person. From the things I have heard from friends like Maria, I got a very good impression he wasn't a jerk.

I'm so glad that they has worked out for you, you got to not only make your trip to the UK, but also meet and work with some of the other wonderful people in this community (as I already know Candy and Henners are pretty awesome too).

I hope the rest of your trip was just as wonderful as your messy experiences!

Rev is awesome! I'm so happy that he is giving this a go and that you enjoyed working with him. I've always enjoyed chatting with him and have heard nothing but good things about him, as well. Would love to get to work with Rev some day!

Bee

Wow!

Thanks so much for this, Cleo. It means a great deal to me.

It was a huge thrill to film with you, as I have loved loved loved the work you and Bob have done since you burst on the scene last year. the fact that you were so nice, and warm and friendly, as well as wam-talented, made it a very special day. You worked really hard and gave 100% and could not have been more wonderful.

I was so pleased I got to pair you with the wonderful Michelle Messy-Miss who I have shot with many times and keep rebooking which tells it's own story about how great she is...the fact that you are both 'real life' WAMMERS really shone through in the scenes and I ended up with work that was far beyond my expectations.

I also have to thank the wonderful Candy Custard. Her studio is amazing but her and Henry's hospitality is even more noteworthy....beyond compare. They are both so supportive and encouraging going out of their way to help me get the very best from my shoots, and as for the amazing spread of food and drink to keep us going, it was fit for a Queen or King.

I was so pleased that you got to film for Candy Custard on your UK wam day too..and in a case of 'ladies first', I think you'll get to see her amazing scene with you first.

Quick other replies:

Ruegger: Thanks for your excitement...since you asked nicely; that particular scene should be out next week

Potatoman, Noideer and Penny: Thank so much. Penny: I am determined to make it along to one of your social events later this year

and Mrs Bee: Again, many many thanks. I've always loved chatting with you too, and if you ever make it to the UK, my wam door is always open to you.

Best wishes

Rev

Our trip to the UK was fantastic. We enjoyed ourselfs very much! We were both really sad when we had to go home!

Candy and Henry are both great to indeed. The way they opened theire house and studio for us and the level of hospitality was fantastic. They are probably still eating the leftovers from the enormous buffet!

Well I just watched the trailer candy uploaded for your scene and that is just amazing and judging from the pictures you all had a great time and are so not done getting messy

Can't wait to see these scenes! As a big fan of both Cleo and the Rev's work I can't wait to see what magic has been made bringing the two together!

As said assistant to RevSlymsford, I had no idea that you had not shot for anyone else before. You showed a willingness and maturity in the shoot that hid the fact well. It was only after the shoot had finished Rev mentioned to it me and I was surprised.

Both you and Messy_Miss Michelle worked really well together and it was an absolute pleasure to film and watch.

Rod Whitestar

As Rod has broken cover, I can take the opportunity to thank him for his brilliant second camera work and constant support and encouragement with absolutely anything and everything. I genuinely couldn't have wished for a better second camera operator and assistant. Of course I thanked him in person..but worth calling out how fantastic he was.

Thanks Rod, the willingness to perform as good as possible for Rev was very much strenghtend by how Rev and you behaved. The polite and caring environment you both created made it possible to act as messy and naughty as possible (within the defined limits). Bob too holds you both in high regard for it!

It was great to work with you too Michelle. You were so kind and so eager to get a pie in your facevthat it was hard not to throw them at you all at once
