Who better to give her opinions and trial and test a few treatments on the show than a glamorous former footballers wife? Over the last few months we have worked considerably with Suzi Walker in the making of the Series.

The lovely Model and Presenter has been featured in different areas of the show and tested a few interesting cosmetic treatments for Harley Street Beauty. Not one to mince her words or deny any nips or tucks she’s had or would have. It’s very refreshing to have worked with someone happy to be open about their looks and why they like to make the most of what they’ve got rather than make your average stay at home mum feel inadequate and think how does she look so perfect in her late 30’s with several kids?

Instead Suzi opens up to Harley Street Beauty about looking good and  is therefor much more relatable to than the average Celeb because she‘s honest, which seems a rarity nowadays. Not only is she honest about beauty and cosmetic surgery but she also gives us her advice from someone that has experienced cosmetic dentistry and surgery not to rush in and to make sure you do your research and really think before you take that all important leap to transforming the way you look.

Its not all cosmetics and beauty in the life of a former WAG though poor Suzi has had a lot to deal with over the years from relationships to health.

Suzi Walker was formerly married to Bolton and International goalkeeper Ian Walker and she was synonymous with the phrase "Footballers Wives". Ironically, and sadly, it has been widely reported in the press that Suzi's thirteen year marriage to Ian had unfortunately run into some difficulty and is now over.  Suzi is now with Simon Jordon (Chairman of Crystal Palace FC). 

Suzi is the type of girl that won't let her situation get her down though. She feels she has been in the wars before. After the birth of her daughter Sophie, some eight years ago, she contracted a near fatal illness known as Post Natal Eclampsia, from which she miracuously made a nearly full recovery.  She also had an extremely dangerous time when she gave birth to her second daughter with whom she has had with Simon.

Unfortunately the illness left Suzi as an on-going sufferer of ME and although, through her doctor, for whom she has only praise, she is managing to beat it 99% of the time. 

Suzi is happy to talk about either of these unfortunate illnesses and will do all she can to promote the cause for other sufferers. At the same time she takes pride in her appearance and is happy to give her opinion and advice from someone that knows about the pro’s and con’s of cosmetic. Stay tuned to hear more from the lovely Suzi Walker.

Thanks Suzi for all your involvement we look forward to working with you on other projects in the future and hopefully Harley Street Beauty Series 2. 

It’s been a busy week for us here at Blondie Media, first filming with X factor Essex duo at the Sugarhut on Monday then filming yesterday with MTV Diva and Britain's Got Talent's eccentric hopeful Adam Miller. Here he is dressed in full-on Britney clobber hoping to stand out from the crowd. 

We headed over to dental clinic ' The Harley Street Smile Clinic' favoured by many celebrities (to gain the perfect smile) to document Adam’s dental transformation for Harley Street Beauty Series 1. Loads of TOWIE stars have had veneers at the clinic as it seems the new Dental Clinic to the stars. The lovely Lauren Pope and Chloe Simms were the first to set the TOWIE trend of Harley Street Veneers.

We filmed Adam a few weeks back when he was having his temporary set and today was his final transformation. Adam is best known from the Janice Dickinson Model Agency and dressing up as Britney Spears on Britain's got Talent 2010, however he was also the original Diva on MTV super sweet world-class.  Adam has a reputation in the UK press for being a unique and enigmatic personality. He's been featured on: This morning, Day Break, Lorraine, Radio One and Britain's Got More Talent to name but a few. Good luck to him!

The trailer link for Super Sweet can be seen below and a few others:

Although he seems wacky and publicity hungry he believes that not everyone has surgery for cosmetic reasons. He thinks it should be less controversial to talk about things you may have had done as there may be deep rooted psychologicial issues that lead people to change the way they look and it has an impact on the way they inevitably feel. 

Along with the ethos of the Harley Street Beauty team (educating people to the best professionals in the business) he is also willing to try and test everything as he likes results.

Adam could be classed as the male Jordan as he is obsessed with Katie Price, cosmetic surgery and fixing everything he's not happy with. He is actually really interested though in the lengths men and women will go to, to keep their looks and believe that the knock-on effect of surgery is it will improve people's confidence careers and marriages etc.

It was great fun filming with you Adam and we wish you luck in your 2012 projects. Thanks also to Harley Street Smile Clinic.

I'm sure you all remember the bubbly Essex girls that got through to the judges houses in Xfactor last year. The two lovely ladies that make up the band 2shoes are Charley Bird and Lucy Texeira. From the heart of The only Way is Essex territory, the girls hail from Basildon and Brentwood. The girls started out as a band in 2009 but raised to the public's attention in 2011 as the bubbly contestants in Xfactor. They managed to get through to Tulisa's judges home in the beautiful Greek Isles. 

Although they never got through to the finals they have really capitalised on their Xfactor fame and have a manager, agent and are gigging regularly which they are both over the moon with. 

We invited them to talk beauty, tans, cosmetic surgery with me on our current Beauty Show "Harley Street Beauty". Their agent Dean Midas Maynard said how bubbly they are and great on camera but I wasn't anticipating how easy they would be to interview and their fab infectious laughter. The girls say that the X Factor experience was absoloutely TOTES AMAZE!

The girls admitted the journey was extremely hard phsyically and emotionally, but they enjoyed every single minute of it. Now the girls are optomistic of what the future holds, they are in the studio now working on releasing a single this year and also a new found career of TV Presenting could be in the pipeline or maybe some reality TV.

Where better to meet them and chat everything gorgeous and glam than the glossiest nightclub in Essex renowned for its positioning as one of the best clubs in Essex but also heavily popular in TOWIE..The obvious choice had to be The Sugar Hut in Brentwood owned by Mick Norcross one of the main characters in TOWIE and ran by BB and TOWIE star Kirk Norcross. 

While myself and the crew were in Brentwood we noticed Amy Child's salon shame I was in a rush and couldn't try a bejazzle and the boutiques of TOWIE stars Lucy Mecklenburgh (Lucy's Boutique) and Sam and Billie Friers (Minnies Boutique), we had to then shoot off to Chingford for filming at a salon. Anyway sure I'll be back shortly and get a chance to checkout the boutiques and salons soon when we attend Essex Fashion Week.

Anyway thanks to 2shoes, Money North the girls management, The Sugarhut and Dean Midas Maynard the girls agent. We had a fun few hours oh and I can't believe you have a pink car to match with my pink iPhone Charley haha REEM!!

Kat Von D opened ‘Young Fashion: Half scene catwalk’ at Pure London yesterday. The show started at 2:30 pm with Kat expressing her excitement about being a part of the event.

On the same catwalk as the tattooist’s collection were clothes made by Influence, Danity, Dana Kleinert, Emma Louise London, Pogostick Failure, Kiley Evans, Fair + True, Cocoabella, Cross Culture Fashion, Phylese, Vodka Vintage, Little Mistress, Charles of London and Mrs Pomeranz.

Kat Von D’s collection is made up of two lines ‘white label’ and ‘red label’. The first one explores the romantic, artistic and more sophisticated side of Kat, while the second one is inspired by the LA lifestyle.

I definitely prefer the more romantic Kat and a couple of pieces caught my attention, such as Kat’s Starboard Vest. (see pictures below) Which style do you prefer?
