Surrounded by Celebrities

It was celebs all the way this weekend as The Show Girlz performed for the glittering Beauty Awards hosted by the glamourous Amy Childs and sponsored by top hair stylist to the stars Lee Stafford.

Nicole took her seat amongst the creme de la creme of Hampshires beauty and hair industry whilst the girlz prepared for their 20 minute musical extravaganza performance on the Guildhall stage!

Outside our sexy stilt walker welcomed the guests with sweets and an even sweeter smile!

The champagne was flowing on arrival and was followed by a delicious 3 course meal. At 9pm The Show Girlz took to the stage to entertain the 450 merry crowd.

Our 5 strong, talented team performed a medley of high energy choreography. Including pieces from Moulin Rouge, Dirty Dancing, Cabaret and Viva Las Vegas.

The audience were treated to 5 vibrant costume changes and 2 solo vocal performances amongst 10 toe tapping tunes. The crowd clapped and cheered with delight as each section quickly rolled into the next.

We had such a fantastic response from everyone watching and we were delighted with how successful the whole night was. Sara from JP South Events who organised the extravagant evening complimented us and said “Thanks soooo much Nicole, your girls were fantastic!! And the stilt walker really surprised the crowd. We will definitely be working with you again"

We even received a tweet from Lee Stafford!!

Amy Childs presented the awards and Nicole managed to sneak a quick picture with her back stage

Lastly we would like to congratulate our TOWERPOWER landlord Tony Wood on his award! His amazing hair salon and team United Salons situated in the Clock Tower (Our Office Building!) was crowned Salon of the Year 2013

 What a fun filled night we had! We can't wait to see if we get invited back next year! Fingers crossed! 

Check out this little video of the event and look out for our gorgeous girlz near the end.

Manic Member of the Month

Each month we will be interviewing one of our gorgeous girlz on their career and life as a dancer!

This month we introduce to you Lucy Kate

How long have you been dancing for?

For as long as i can remember! I think as soon as I could walk I was wearing my ballet shoes!

Did you train professionally?

Yes I trained professionally from a young age at The Legat Ballet School where I boarded. It was a big decision for my family and I at such a young age but I received a scholarship and was desperate to dance. Later at 16yrs I went to Brian Rogers Performers College for 3 years where I gained a diploma in Musical Theatre.

What was professional training like?

It was tough! We took around 6-8 classes a day which included ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, partner work, singing, drama and musical theatre. We were exhausted at the end of every day! But there was no time for rest, we did this 5 or 6 days a week for 3 years.

After what sounds like grueling training, what was auditioning for professional jobs like?

Auditions are very tough! For every audition there is at least 300 girls sometimes up to 800! It can be very daunting!  But you have to give it your all and not be afraid of knock backs! After all, they are usually only looking for one person, so that means 799 disappointed people. Dancers are tough skinned though and no amount of rejection puts us off going after our dreams! Sometimes your the lucky one!

What was your first professional job?

My first professional dance job was in Qatar. I was a dancer in an illusion show with Guy Barrett, for Qatar Summer Wonders Festival. There were several shows from the UK flown over for the festival which lasted around 2 months.

What was it like working in Qatar?

It was very different to the UK. All our costumes had be made so that they were appropriate for Qatar audiences. Not a lot of flesh was on show compared to the costumes we have in the UK! It was great living and working in such a different culture. A great 1st job with some fantastic people.

What other countries have you worked in?

I have been lucky enough to work in many countries! I have performed in several different shows in Dubai. I have performed in a casino show in Macau and rehearsed for this for a month in Hong Kong, this was a great opportunity to experience yet another very different cultures! I have also performed in several casinos in Portugal and I have been in a show in India. But, most of my traveling has been whilst cruising! Working on a cruise ship as a dancer is a great way to see the world! I have performed on P&O cruises and NCL Cruise line, taking me to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, North America, Carribbean, Mexico, Alaska, South America and Antarctica!

Wow you have been very busy! Do you dance a lot in the UK?

I do dance in England doing shorter contracts and lots of one off events, mainly for The SHOW Girlz (or as they were formerly known MANIC!). With these I have performed at awards ceremonies, xmas party events, theatre shows and corporate events.

How long have you been apart of The SHOW Girlz?

I have been apart of the team since the very beginning! The SHOW Girlz have always welcomed me back to perform with them between contracts and shows abroad. Its nice to come back to friendly faces and know that my experience further a field is appreciated. All the team are encouraged to perform and work for major companies throughout the UK and abroad, this is what keeps the team fresh and at the top of the profession!

Whats your favorite part of being one of 'The SHOW Girlz?'

I love that I can work with professional talented people so close to home in Portsmouth!

Fab! Lastly whats in the performance pipe line for you and The Show Girlz?

It's exciting as the team are getting very busy. Nicole and Matt do a great job of finding us work and Manic Stage Productions are very respected for their ability to provide exactly what is asked of them. We are currently rehearsing for several events along the South coast including The Beauty Awards hosted by Amy Childs from TOWIE. Vegas themed entertainment for a large hotel chain and some amazing choreography to compliment a request from a top MJ tribute artist.

Thank you Lucy :-) we wish you every success!

Let our team help!

After a successful day at The South Coast Business Show last week at The Guildhall Portsmouth. We realised the full potential of our hard working team of Brand Ambassadors (Promotional Models) and were overwhelmed with the enquiries and demand for our beautiful team. If you own a company and require a unique personal service that will help spread the word and really create a buzz for your business then read on!

A promotional model is a model hired to drive consumer demand for a product, service, brand or concept by directly interacting with your potential consumers. 

The consumer's perception of a brand, product, service, or company, is often more profoundly affected by a live person-to-person experience, rather than other more conventional advertising media such as print.

Our team 'The Show Girlz' can provide you with gorgeous, glamorous and intelligent promotional staff to help promote and elevate your business or event through a less conventional approach. Our ladies (and gents) will draw attention to your product with their good looks, friendly personas and perhaps dazzling outfits! 

Wether it be on the high street, at an exhibition or at you own private events, our models can hand out leaflets and other advertising products and draw attention to your brand.  

We advice that our models be briefed on your company/event so that they are always ready with the correct information on your product. 

Perhaps The Show Girlz could get your event off to a brilliant start by meeting and greeting your guests with glamour and professionalism at the entrance. 

Imagine our beautiful girls promoting your business in branded t-shirts with your logo and company name! Everyone would be sure to look! All our staff have big smiles and great enthusiasm and are ready and waiting to promote your business.

Themed, costumed promotional models are a real hit and certainly add the wow factor and draw attention to your exhibition stand or event entrance.

We have thousands of costumes and themes!

Let your imagination run wild and pick the theme that works best for your brand!

If you would like to add a performance to your promotion then just ask. Recently we included an all singing all dancing Abba medley when promoting Fontwell Park's race nights. And have just been approached to add tap dancing sailors to an exhibition stand in London along with stilt walking showgirls to the entrance of an awards show!

You have created a successful, hard working business that deserves the best promotional management!  Let The Show Girlz do what they do best and by adding their enthusiastic sparkle you are guaranteed to spread the word and elevate the awareness of your brand.
