Support, Confidence and Sisterhood

Some of you will know that I was assaulted by another girl on Saturday night. Luckily I had my amazing boyfriend Leo with me at the time and he protected me from being seriously hurt but it was a frightening experience none the less. It got me thinking about how horrible the world is sometimes. There doesn’t seem to be much “Sisterhood” anymore. I didn’t do anything to deserve that slap: I was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. It happens daily: girls tear down other girls about their looks, their personal lives, their clothes. It’s a very sad situation.

However I do know a girl who is proving “Sisterhood” is still alive and kicking and I’m happy to say she a very good friend of mine.

Fay Louise Bacon is twenty five and she has the world at her feet. She’s engaged to the lovely Callum and is busy planning their wedding for September 2012. She’s a proud Auntie to two little boys: Frankie and Teddy and she’s the proud director of some brilliant companies: Celebrity Publicity and UK Model Folios. She is a beautiful, intelligent and loyal friend who has supported me through good times and bad. Fay is always happy for people when they have good news, and always there to support them when they have bad news.

I got to know Fay through friends whilst at Sixth Form. She’s one of the nicest girls I have ever met and although neither of us are still in contact with the people that introduced us, we have stayed friends and managed to form a strong bond. In 2008 when I was struggling with my cousins cancer diagnosis and trying to find a job, Fay stepped in and offered me work experience and support, something I will always be grateful for.

UK Model Folios (UMF) specialises in the production and creation of model portfolios. As a formation of leading industry experts that have all worked for big name brands such as Vogue, MAXIM, FHM, Hello, OK!, The Sun, Strictly Come Dancing, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, The Daily Star, Hello, Jordan, Girls Aloud, Ralph and many more, we provide a service to amateur and professional models that far outshines any other portfolio company on the market.
Fay is one of the hardest working women I know. She is focused and determined whilst never treading on anyone’s toes or upsetting anyone. The modelling industry can be cut throat and bitchy but I can promise any aspiring models that Fay is anything but. She has a way of putting models and everyone else at ease and making them realise their potential and star quality. She would never encourage a model to starve themselves nor would she encourage a model to have surgery they didn’t want. Fay is all about being confident, intelligent and letting your inner beauty shine through.
Fay has now expanded her business to accommodate other people who may like professional yet affordable photos and if you are suffering from low self esteem, feeling a bit low after having health problems, or just need to be reminded of how amazing you are then I really would recommend taking a trip to the UKMF studio and having an afternoon with Fay and her team of experts. She will help you create a photo that will make you feel warm and beautiful everytime you look at it.
