27 June 2011 Hi everyone What a hectic first half of 2011! Looking back, I suppose the main highlights must be the cinema release of 'Anuvahood' and my time in Dublin filming 'Celebrity Salon'. There was a huge turnout in March for the premiere of 'Anuvahood'. Even better was that all the hard work by Adam Deacon, plus the talented cast and crew, was recognised by the film's major success at the box office 'Anuvahood' is released on DVD and Blu-Ray on 4th July. Let's try to get the film to No 1 in the DVD chart! Much of April was spent in Dublin filming 'Celebrity Salon'. Making 'Celebrity Salon' was hard work. It took two days of long hours and late nights to film each episode. But that didn't matter as I made so many new firm friends and was sad when filming was over, even though I was straight off on a holiday to Las Vegas with my girlies. Then it was back to Ireland at the very beginning of this month for the programme's launch, followed by a hectic schedule which included TV appearances, attending the 'Bridesmaids' Irish premiere and judging 'Miss Universe Ireland'. From all the tweets and messages I received, seems everyone had as much fun watching 'Celebrity Salon' as we all had making it! On a personal note, I've moved home and also now have my baby Prince who always keeps me smiling - @princeMarni is his twitter... So what's next? Well, looks like the second half of 2011 is going to be just as interesting and varied as the first 6 months. Loads I could tell you, but my lips are sealed....watch this space!! Love always Ash |
