A good friend of mine posted a link on my Facebook and it directed me to visit the world of Felt Mistress. I instantly fell in love with the creatures and characters that were in front of me! Felt Mistress has managed to bring cute and scary together and create some of the most precious characters. Each creation has his or her own back story and unique accessories. These guys are way too cool for school. I caught up with the Felt Mistress and here’s how it went.
I came across Aiko while surfing through Deviantart. Aiko’s work doesnt seem to have one style nailed down and seems to have many influences from a lot of very different people, but has a serious craving for being creative and producing something that isn’t just another photograph. Read More

Don’t forget to check out our sweet interview with Les Queues De Sardines
Searching online as i tend to do a lot these days, i came across Cato Andrews. I found a link to her Deviantart profile and was blew away by her work. I asked if we could show off some of her work and if she’d give us an insight into how she got involved with this style of art.

Walking through Victoria Square i noticed massive vinyl sign with a familiar face on it and one of NI’s most popular websites. I decided to poke my head into other peoples business as i usually do and here’s what happened when i interviewed Sugahfix.com’s Katrina Doran
What went into arranging the Decadence Photoshoot? How did it differ from other photoshoots?
The main difference about organizing Decadence was how quickly it was put together. I’d usually take about a month from concept to shoot – Decadance was a week! We’d had a meeting with Victoria Square who, based on seeing the Rock Star shoot, agreed to create a ‘Sugahfix.com loves Victoria Square’ graphic featuring fashion from Victoria Square retailers. They had hoped to have the graphic up for the Christmas lights being switched on so we went into overdrive to pull it together. On the Friday before the shoot I wasn’t sure if it was actually happening at all! We were checking out locations and viewed three possibles in the morning with Terry Furniture in the back of our minds as the best location so then and drove to Portadown and confirmed everything. Texts on the way back confirmed bookings and then we were off. Then on the Saturday was the weirdest situation for me going into a shoot, as I had to pick clothes that day to use on Monday. Usually for a shoot – you’d look around and make a list of potential outfits and plan everything ahead, right down to the accessories. I had to just completely wing it and hope for the best – I remember feeling a bit sick before I left the house incase there was nothing that fitted the brief but I shouldn’t have worried!
How do you go about coming up with the themes for photoshoots? What inspired Decadence?
The theme for Decadence was a classic Christmas party dresses shoot – taking in all the trends of the season including sequin, sparkle, studding etc. Lots of jewel colours and no black! The idea of Decadence was a last flourish to end the Decade – a celebration! We also wanted the shoot to look Christmassy but without being obvious and sticking a big Christmas tree in it – it had to be classy Christmas – not tacky Christmas – so the huge metallic bauble-like lights at Terry furniture were perfect.
Many different outfits are used during the shoot, how do you decide how many to go with and which to go with? Is there much pressure in selecting these as they can make or break a shoot?
