So that's the full menu Madam?
Bit of a miserable week for me as I was laid low with an attack of flu-bris – the hubris caused when you think you have defeated the flu and instead it comes back worse than ever. So, coughing, sneezing etc I have been stuck indoors for the last seven days except for a brief visit from Clown Julie’s comedy partner Charlie who told me all about their pie-flinging encounter with mature glamour puss, Miss Jones…
Several weeks ago The Sun newspaper illustrated an article about Katie Green with this picture they pinched off our website, and since then we have been trying to get them to admit it and pay a small but fair fee for its use. So what has happened in a battle with Mr Murdoch?
As I mentioned earlier in the bit you probably won’t read, Sammy-Jane came down on Thursday for a private session. Yes, we still offer private sessions when we can fit them around our own shoots, and this particular customer has been coming for years so it’s always a good laugh.
This week I was hoping to be able to report on Simon and Hellenes’ first full blown Fetish Night in Eastbourne (that’s Hellenes above in her dungeon, so I think you can see two good reasons why I wanted to go). But sadly I was unable to go as, statistically at least, I am suffering from swine flu. Actually I think all I have is a bit of a cold, but according to the National Pandemic website I am a toxic threat to the world who has to stay locked away for at least a week to prevent the spread of this fatal disease. And the cause of this local outbreak that threatens to destroy the very fabric of society? Sweet Sue.
Been having a fine time wallowing in messy nostalgia putting together clips for our forthcoming download store, Splosh!’s Greatest Hits. By popular demand this will feature some of our best sketches from our DVDs on download for the first time, previously unavailable back issues of the magazine in PDF form and out-takes and sketches that haven’t been seen before EVER! It has also provided a chance to look back at Splosh! stars from the past (like Karen above) and remember how differently sketches were made in those days.
Had some sad news a few weeks back that Tim Walton, who along with his ex-wife Hilary used to run Daisy Publications/Entertainments, had died. A memorial get-together for his friends is being held in October. As some might know, Daisy (based in Bexhill) used to sell Splosh! magazine and videos along hundreds of other publications and many of you may well have one of their vast catalogues. The business, Hilary hopes, will continue though she is no longer involved in it.
My Bank Holiday was a lot wetter and messier than Bill’s, and even more enjoyable! Why? Cos I gave gameshow-style gunge or slime a try for the first time – and, of course being me, I mixed up three full buckets of the stuff in three contrasting colours! Here’s how I got on…
Not surprisingly since it is their annual music ‘festival’, I spent much of the August Bank Holiday in the pub. A break from all things custardy you might imagine but you’d be wrong! As well as pub-going Splosh! fans like Jenny from Facebook keen to tell me about the messy chats she’d been having, two pretty faces popped up unexpectedly wanting to get messy – in one case for the first time and in the other for the umpteenth!
Happy to say that Snow White and the Seven Buckets is now up at www.sploshdownloads.com and doing well. I’ve you haven’t seen it yet, you should, it is one of our best. Scarlett is excellent and it’s quite funny and very rude at the end, so what’s not to like? We have even had a request from a cable station in the US to show clips from it on one of their shows – though only the fully clothed bits! Can worldwide fame be far away for Scarlett?
Searching for some Alice Cooper music and video to wake me up one morning, I found this…

Now I’ve always been an Alice fan since Schools Out coincided with the end of my O levels, and was well aware that Soupy Sales was an American comic famous for throwing custard pies but I had no idea the two had come together (in 1979 apparently). There’s a longer version of the sketch on Youtube as well.
We noticed that Alice seemed to enjoy Splosh! when they both appeared on The Graham Norton Show last year, but didn’t know he’d been an active participant! And with one of the slapstick legends!! Now I’m an even greater fan than ever!
