What people are saying about Anna’s pin-up posing workshops!

“Can’t even begin to say how amazing today’s workshop with Anna Fur Laxis was! Tons of tips, tricks, confidence boosting and awesomeness. LOVED IT!”

“Anna is pure grace, beauty and elegance personified. These qualities came through this entire AWESOME workshop as she shared her many insights into how to be confident on camera. Anna shared not only practical ways to perform in front of the camera, but also about more technical aspects and how to get into character. I learnt so many invaluable tips and ideas that I would never have thought about before attending this course, it has most certainly increased my confidence and got me happily posing away in front of a camera. It was also fabulous and fun.”

“Anna Fur Laxis is a wonderful teacher, kind and patient. Her advice proved invaluable, and her understanding of lack of confidence was sweet ad lovely. I’ve learned about technical aspects of photography, lighting, and a makeup trick I never knew! I can only say that I wish I could take more classes and workshops with her, as she is clearly a mine of information, fun and friendliness”

7.30pm in the Shakespeare pub, Gibralter Street, Sheffield, S3 8UB.

10th July 2012.

£20 per person, a limited number of spaces are available in this Workshop, therefore only advance bookings will be accepted.

Raising the Temperature

Phew!

What a HOT night it was on Sunday and I would just like to say a huge 'Thank You' to all the performers who helped to turn up the heat: Kitty Devine, Foxie La Roque, Evie Farrah, Sian De Leir, Cherry Du Bois,
Miss Moonlight, Maria Moreish and Raven Noir all gave stellar performances and seriously lifted the bar high....my new act 'The Woman' didn't go down too badly either.
