Ready for your close up?

So yesterday at Tiger Tem was the most fabulously fun day.

Why? Because then entire day we had a camera crew in there with us. The Soundcity team are launching a new channel, Spice TV, that's billed to be the African E! and the program being filmed at Tiger Tem is a hybrid of The Fabulous Life of and Cribs. Which sounded like far too much fun and free publicity to pass up on. The channel's being launched in April and Tiger Tem has top billing for the show. Will confirm when it will be aired as soon as I know.

Its the first time I've been the focal point of what's happening on a TV set, I've been to a couple before when I was much younger and obsessed with the idea of being an MTV Producer. So lights, camera, action. And oh my is that a hell of a lot more complicated than it look!

Exec Producer Kemi Adetiba was fabulous as she was pretty clear on what she wanted and it felt like a true meeting of minds. I LOVED every second of it...well apart from how HOT it got under the lights. Next time I'll have to be a lot more vain and get hair and make-up in to 'look after me'!!! I felt a little unprepared as the original plan had been to shoot a few days later but due to conflicting schedules....it was game on.

Anyway here are a sneak peek pics of the 'set', even I have to say Naomi and Lex and Tiger Tem did a sterling job of helping me make sure the place looked absolutely FABULOUS!



Mic check, one two, one two.


The fabulous fabulous GoldenBleu bags on display in the Tea Room.


Creative use of a fabulously sexy carving. And yes, the carving's for sale too.


Naomi, an invaluable member of Tiger Tem staff.

I'll post more pics tomorrow...tired now.
