Megan Fox shows off her good looks in a batch of portrait pictures as part of Armani’s “The Face of Beauty” Summer 2011 ad campaign.

In an exclusive interview behind the scenes at the shoot, the stunner shared what makes her feel beautiful. Her answer is so sweet:”I think that what affects me the most is when my 8 year old stepson tells me I’m beautiful.”

Fox also reveals: “Makeup artists are definitely better at doing my makeup, but I like to do it myself,” she says. “I like my eyes the best and I like to emphasize them. I like to make them pop.”

This is the second year of London Cocktail Week and you will find me at a bar in London, giving away iCandy – of the sugary, edible kind – in bars all around the capital from today until Sunday.

If I needed a reason to tour bars and learn to make cocktails then almighty Diffords Guide has provided one by listing a hundred bars that have offered to sell their signature cocktails for £4 and organised a long list of events that give everyone an excuse to leave work and down a Horny Bull for lunch instead. All you need is a wristband from their website.

Since I insist everyone joins me I’ve made Google Maps of all the bars and bus tours that the week offers and it should be pretty easy to find me as I will probably be the only one working, and therefore only slightly drunk. Below are some of the ticketed events I would recommend, along with the free events.

Cocktails of London – Selfridges, The Wine Shop / 7th/ 16:00 – 18:00

“Wayne Collins has regularly appeared on several well known food television programmes including 4 year stint on Great Food Live and currently presents drinks weekly on BBC’s Something for the Weekend. He presents extensively at various trade exhibitions around the World. Also consults on bespoke cocktail styling for many high profile events such as the BAFTAS, film premiers, fashion shows & art exhibitions.”

Wayne is walking us through the history of the London cocktail scene, including drinks so you fully appreciate the educational aspects. Seriously though…cocktail mixing is an art and a skill and the chance to study under one of the most applauded bartenders in the world is not something to miss.

RumFest – Kensington Olympia 2 / 15 – 16 October / 12:00 – 18:00

“2011 marks the fifth anniversary of UK RumFest, the world’s biggest festival dedicated to celebrating rum and sugarcane spirits. To honour this landmark occasion UK RumFest has added a brand new Tropical Food Market to its already action-packed weekend of salsa dancing, cocktail sampling, live music, masterclasses and seminars.”

A chance to win a holiday to the Caribbean and try over 400 rums is probably something everyone will enjoy. Rum is one of those drinks that started in a part of the world renowned for relaxing, enjoying life, and making the most of what you’re given, which makes it almost unanimously popular. Of course if you cannot wait until next weekend there’s always…

Rum Trail – Trailer Happiness / 9 October / 18:00 – 21:00

“A walking tour of five bars within the Notting Hill area, all different in style, each serving a different delicious Havana Club cocktail. Guests will explore specific eras of Havana’s classic cocktail culture – learning about the bars, bartenders, cocktails and customers of the age.”

The Liquorists are offering a tour of bars offering Havana Club rums, with a party at the final venue. They’re running two tours on Sunday and I dare you to frown, or walk in a straight line, at the end of it.

Cuervo Masterclass – ICEBAR LONDON / 10th & 12th / 17:00 – 17:45

“ICEBAR LONDON is the UK’s only permanent bar made of ice and is kept at minus 5 degrees all year round. Everything inside is made out of crystal clear ice harvested especially from the frozen Torne River in Jukkasjarvi, Northern Sweden. ICEBAR LONDON is operated in 40 minute time slots and you will be given a designer thermal cape with a hood to keep you warm during your visit.”

Cuervo Platino Mixology with Rhys Love already sounds delicious and I have to admit a slight weakness to Tequila, mostly because it goes to the heads of men much quicker than women. It’s fun watching boy stumble around while we girls stand at the bar and order another bottle. Yes, you can consider that a challenge.

Zenna Cocktail Classes –  Zenna Bar / 11th – 15th / 17:00 – 19:00

“Learn how to make incredible cocktails from London’s best mixologist Dan Thomson. Bookings welcome from 5 – 40 individuals. A great day out for friends or colleagues. Cocktail masterclasses last between 2-4 hours and cover a range of different methods of creating a cocktail, including presentation, aroma, taste, and garnishes. You will then have several opportunities to not only create classic cocktails for yourself, but also come up with your own creation. Both of which will be yours to finish.”

They had me at ‘goodie bag’ but I’d have gone for Dan Thomson’s two hour class about the tricks of the trade and popular personalities. Tuesday is El Jimador Tequila, Wednesday is Stolichnaya Vodka, Thursday is Chairmans Reserve Rum, Friday is Bombay Sapphire Gin and – my favourite – Saturday is Makers Mark Whiskey. Presentation, aroma, taste, and garnishes are very important and not just for cocktails, so find a space and book a ticket…

Ready Steady Cocktail – Liberty Lounge / 7th, 8th, 12th, 15th & 16th / 14.30 – 16.30 & 19.30 – 21.30

“Interactive cocktail games involve the whole crowd, who learn new skills, whilst bonding over a few professionally made cocktails along the way. Ideal for promoting a fun team working atmosphere, your guests will be treated to a sensory experience and take home bartending skills to entertain their own guests!”

I have no idea how to make cocktails but that doesn’t matter because I love to drink them. Liberty Lounge don’t just run these classes, they operate a mobile bar that takes them around the country and are planning to go global later in the year. So get into a class because they’re so popular that the celebrities have booked them all. Four cocktails and Moroccan tapas say ‘See you on Sunday’.

So if a Full Monty and a Buttery Nipple with a Climax to follow is your idea of a fun evening, then come find something to drink at London Cocktail Week.

By Laura iGadgets

PLEASE drink responsibly.

You’ve really got a lot going on at the moment haven’t you? You’re in music videos, you present awards, you’re London’s official firegirl and you’re about to be on ‘The Batchelor’ where you’re going to be competing for Gavin Henson’s affections; which one of all these things are you most excited about?
Yeah I have been really busy of late. I gave up working in the corporate world as a Business Manager to concentrate on the things I love to do. I get to travel a lot with work, so getting to meet different people, cultures, excites me. I was approached to be on the UK’s first ‘The Bachelor’ show which will be on Channel 5 and I am really nervous about watching it myself as it isn’t normally something I would do but I just saw it as a trip away, bit of fun, and if I get exposure from doing it then that would be great! The US version is the most watched show in the States, and as I loved watching it, I thought it would be good to try it out over here. None of us girls knew who the bachelor would be until the ‘greeting night’ so you will have to watch and find out how I reacted to it being Gavin!

Do you think you’d make a good WAG if you won? Do you like rugby?
I know nothing about rugby, and nor do I aspire to be a WAG! (laughs)

(laughs) Gavin Henson is Welsh (like me!) Do you like the Welsh accent? (raises eyebrows suggestively and grins) cos, you know..(coughs)..if it doesn’t work out I’m not seeing anyone at the moment…
(laughs) You are such a flirt!! I love the Welsh accent it has a really nice softness about it…

Really!?! I sing as well you know! You should hear my Tom Jones karaoke sometime! Gavin was of course married to Charlotte Church who can be a bit feisty – would her being his ex and mum to his kids be a bit off-putting?
I don’t really know much about Gavin but Charlotte seems to be fun, I’ve watched her talk show and she’s a really good presenter, very funny. Someone who has been married or has kids isn’t really my idea of being an eligible bachelor to be honest but who knows?

With all the scandals coming out at the moment Colleen & Wayne, Cheryl & Ashley, Ryan Giggs & pretty much any woman in a mile radius of him, and so many others, do you think you could keep Gavin in check? How would you do it? – Pretty easily I’m going to say with your looks!
(laughs) Why thank you Mr Charming!! It’s sad hearing about those scandals as so many people get hurt in the process, you can only hope your partner doesn’t stray elsewhere. Looks aren’t enough to keep a relationship together, it takes a lot of trust, respect and determination to keep it strong, building a strong foundation with the right person is far more important than the aesthetics.

That’s so true, I suppose if you don’t win or you just don’t click you’ve always got all those firemen to fall back on? What’s it feel like to be London’s official Firegirl?
(laughs) Firemen are amazing people, they not only look good in uniform but are real life heroes. I was honoured to be a firegirl for a big campaign I did recently in Vienna, I was chosen to represent London, not only did I get to dress as firegirl and use all the equipment at the fire station there, but it was more about meeting these fire-fighters who risked their lives to help others. I got to see the guys in action mid-shoot as the sirens went off, it was incredible to watch!

A lot of women go gaga over firemen but what’s all that about?? Every time we’ve had an alarm at our building all the firemen that turn up are about 40!
(laughs) I met young and old fire-fighters whilst in Vienna! However they all look great in uniform, it’s that heroism figure that is symbolic to being a firefighter which drives most women crazy!

Yeah? I saved a hedgehog from a fox once you know! Does that count as heroism??? But anyway, you’ve got a lot of music connections too though haven’t you; presenting the Urban Music Awards and the Download Music Awards as well as being in a few music videos too including being one of the first UK models as a the lead in a US mainstream video for B.O.B’s ‘Magic’ You’ve worked with Dizzee Rascal in his video for ‘Dirtee Disco’ Do you have anything coming out soon that we should look out for? Were they all good to work with? Would you ever branch out into a singing career?
I have been lucky to be in some amazing videos, I absolutely loved filming the B.O.B’s ‘Magic’ video which was shot in L.A and although I had to eat cereal from a sink ten million times, it was fun and the production over in the States is huge, they really go all out to deliver something grand. Dizzee Rascal was great to work with, he actually chose the models who feature in the video himself, so it was nice to have been chosen by the man himself and being part of a funny video. I am currently in Alex Metric featuring Ian Brown from the Stone Roses new dance track ‘Open Your Eyes’ I got to play ‘Robofem’ which is the robots girlfriend, the director Peter Serafinowicz acted and directed the video, it was a joy to see this incredible man at work, very inspirational.

The Urban Music Awards has been by far the best award show that I have presented, it was entertaining, fast paced and the audience kept me on my toes the whole time- if you can handle the urban crowd you can more or less handle any other! It’s funny that you asked whether I can sing because I recently met with R Kelly and the first thing he said to me was “if you can sing I will sign you up right now” I was totally blown away but the only person that has heard me sing is myself, in the shower!! (Laughs)

Sorry I was miles away there… You said ’shower’ and I felt a little faint… So, sportsmen, firemen or musicians? – out of all of them who would you go for first, do you go for creativity such as a budding iCandy writer (winks) or someone a bit more rugged?
I’m sure you are just delightful (laughs) I tend to go for more of the intellect as opposed to the rugged, I like to learn new things as I am very inquisitive by nature, so someone that couldn’t teach me a thing or two would most likely bore me! Having said that I always believe it is the connection first and foremost, I instantly know whether I am attracted to someone by the get go, the connection has to be right

You like to learn things? Hmmm… Did you know that there’s a species of mosquito that lives on the Tube network that’s found nowhere else on earth? That’s true that is! When you’re not busy working and doing all these incredible things, what do you like to do to relax?
I love spending time with my beautiful baby nephew Harley, he really makes me smile. I enjoy hanging out with friends and going to wacky fun places like the zoo and M&M world! I also love to read and I’m currently reading ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho- very inspiring read

M&M World? Wow! You really are getting more perfect! You’ve travelled a lot too – where’s the most amazing place you’ve been to?
I have travelled to many amazing places with work, the most culturally different place I have visited was when I got to represent England in The World Super Model competition held in Taiwan, the food was so different and interesting, the people are so hospitable. I love LA and tend to go there every so often. I was invited to the playboy mansion last year for their summer party and have been invited this year too, so I’m really looking forward to going again, it is everything you imagine it to be and more!!

You’re going to the Playboy Summer party?? Damn!! Do you need an escort? I mean, C’mon apart from countless children and probably a heart condition, what’s Heff got that I haven’t??? It’s been an absolute pleasure Tabby but from all of us in iCandyland; best of luck with all your projects and of course with ‘The Batchelor’, I’ll be watching and secretly hoping you don’t fancy him at all! Before we go though, do you have anything to say to everyone out there?
Thank you for having me! Make sure you tune in! I have been sent a few scripts to read, so I am busy with that at the moment, I also have my swimwear designs being launched soon. Most importantly I am an ambassador for The Damilola Taylor Trust, I will be doing a charity skydive in August to raise awareness and money for the charity, please follow me on Twitter (@tabbybrown) for more info on how you can help! Thanks Gaz!

That’s quite a big step deciding to jack in your job and take a different direction! Were your family happy that you decided to do that?
Yeah they’re really supportive of me, they knew I wasn’t happy and they could see that and they can see that I’m really happy now – they’ve been great and I couldn’t ask them for anything more than supporting me in my choices. I love my family!

Cool! So what have you been up to recently then?
Partying! I’m a total party girl! I guess that’s why I loved doing the promotions work really, I’ve recently come back from holiday too in Marbella which was great and topped up my tan! But I’ve done a few shoots, I’m really trying to build my portfolio up at the moment and get myself out there and see where it goes!

So where would you like it to go then
Anywhere! I’d love to do adverts or anywhere my modelling career takes me really! I’m pretty open to any direction it could go in, it’s like its a whole new adventure and each day could be different! I hate routine! [laughs].

Well I’m sure with your pics you’ll have a lot of offers! You must get guys hitting on you quite a bit though don’t you?
Actually they don’t! [laughing]! When I go out I go out in quite a big group with my girls and I think a lot of guys are intimidated by us! We can be quite wild! It would be a very confident guy to approach my group and speak to me! Ha ha! But I like that – I like a guy with confidence!

So you like a confident guy huh? What else do you look for in a guy?
Hmm well, I’m quite typical really – I love a tall dark and handsome man ha ha! But at the moment I think my perfect guy is Ryan from Eastenders – he’s lovely!

You’ve got quite a Lady Gaga look going on – is she a bit of an influence?
NO! I’ve had my hair like this for 7 years – long before she came on the scene!

Ooooo kay! So I’m guessing you get kind of tired being compared to her?
Oh I get it all the time! ‘You look like Lady Gaga you know!’ ‘Hey Lady Gaga is here!’ Gimme a break! I’ve had long blonde hair for ages and if anything she copied me! [laughs] I don’t let it bother me though – I know who I am.

Ha ha! OK! So what’s you’re guilty secret?
I’m ashamed to say junk food – I eat it all the time – I just love it! I love grabbing a burger or whatever!

You must have to work out a lot though to compensate and stay looking so good?
Err… I’d like to yes but I haven’t been to the gym for months! I should really go I know but I just don’t get round to it! [laughs]

Seriously!? Wow! that’s quite lucky! What’s your favourite part of your body?
[Laughs] My boobs! I look after them very well and I saved hard to get them so I’m quite proud of myself for doing that but I absolutely love them, they’re fantastic!

No arguments here Chloe! Yes they’re quite something! *cough* err… sorry where was I? Oh yeah! So what have you got coming up that we should look out for?
Well, I’m looking into working for Bluebird TV during the day times, and I’m giving a lot of thought about doing that – it could be fun!

Wow! So you wouldn’t find that intimidating at all? Do you think that some of the things that blokes could be saying to you might shock you?
[Laughing] Nah! I’m not easily intimidated! I’m very confident and outgoing – nothing shocks me and believe me I’ve seen a lot!

Well I’ll certainly take your word for it Chloe and we’ll keep an eye out for you in the future!

Michele Levesque

Michele was no stranger to keeping active as a youngster, growing up in Bromont, Canada, popular for mountain biking and skiing. She also took up gymnastics, figure skating and soon enough she realised her passion was always in fitness. Starting up sprinting did cause some knee problems for Michele though, which was a big blow to her lifestyle. Soon she got herself back up by starting weight lifting, as well as studying massotherapy. But now had she found another obsession – nutrition and training – taking her body and lifestyle into a super hot direction as a fitness model. At 30 years old she is hitting her peak so don’t miss out! We caught up with Michele as she talks about her experience in training and she also gives some tips for those who desire to look and feel just as good.

The gym must be a second home to you – since what age did you take fitness into a passion?
I’ve always been involved in sports. I did 12 years of track and field and every sport that I did was in a competitive way. There was a time when the gym was my second house yes. But my priorities have changed now. I am looking for more balance and present a healthy and sexy package instead of a depleted, too lean and shredded body. I still love going to the gym but I take everything in moderation now.

How do you find the balance of keeping fit while maintaining womanly curves?
Well, I’m a woman with curves. I have come to build a curvy body and I transformed by body over the years into a curvier and sexier body. I love working out, it’s my passion but for me, there is nothing more attractive than a strong, fit physique that’s feminine and curvy at the same time. I don’t have to force it too much, my body is naturally curvy I guess!

What are the particular exercises to enhance a woman’s figure rather than ‘masculizing’ it?
Lifting heavy weights at some point “sculpt” the body. If you want a rounder butt or thicker legs, you’re going to go for weights and go for that roundness. If you have a healthy and balanced diet, you should be lean, but still keep a body fat that is fairly normal on a woman. Squatting is the number one exercise that every woman should do. It targets your legs, butt, hamstring and shape the legs very well if you do it right. Smile also, don’t be afraid to do cardio like sprints or running, it also shapes your quads and butt smile.

What does your daily routine go like?
I do cardio pretty much every day and I split my body in two days – lower body and upper body. I do circuit training, trying to maintain the body I have now and keep my body fat where I’m comfortable with.

For those with time short on their hands on a daily basis, what kind of workout would you suggest for fast-burning calories?
I would recommend circuit training with cardio. Instead of doing weights for 45 minutes and then a cardio session for 30 minutes, you do everything in one. So you have a series of exercise that you do one after the other then hit the treadmill for 5-10 minutes between each circuit. So you keep your heart rate up, you burn a lot of calories because your non really stopping. You’re constantly moving.

What is your favourite workout?
I like anything that’s conditioning, pliometrics, cross fit type of training. I like to sweat and I like to do as much as I can in an hour.

How do you think fitness should be encouraged more?
Well I think fitness has grown a lot in the past couple of years. If you check in the fitness industry, there are much more competitors at every level, it’s more accessible and fitness models are the “new” fashion models.

And on the other side, you have a country that is getting worst and worst with obesity, more kids that suffers from obesity. But at the same time, people are putting together programs to help them lose weight. The biggest loser and all these shows are there to help the population to get away from obesity. So I think we’ve just got to keep doing what we started. And don’t’ give up on these people. Almost every fast food restaurants have a healthy menu so there is no reason NOT to start the process of losing weight.

She’s sexy she’s sassy, she’s naughty, and definitely doesn’t give a dam! Tila Tequila, better known as Miss Tila, her new alias – is certainly representing for the ladies. MTV star, singer, and MySpace model is so proud to be bisexual that it has become a hot trend! After rejecting the offer to do Season 3 of her MTV dating show ‘A Shot of Love,’ the Singaporean cutie aims to focus on her image as a business mogul. She has plainly done away with people in her life who are quite frankly not on her page, and intends to prove to the world that she is more than just your average model.

‘I decided to take control as opposed to having other people around me tell me what to do, tell me how to dress and tell me how to speak, I love the fact that I can do what I want, I’m a mogul I started my own Celebrity Gossip Blog, I have people that I pay that work for me, I have a staff, I’m signing artists to my record label the first artist. I’m my own boss I’m doing the managing thing – that to me is really cool. It’s even better than me being in the spotlight.’

Frizzy Cube

Neil Nakahara definitely thinks outside the box when it comes to his portfolio. He pushes the boundaries creating images that are colourful, edgy and original. Basically, his imagery rocks! Here the Hawaiian-born New Yorker of Japanese descent gives us an insight into his realm of photography.

Where did the name Frizzy Cube come from?
FrizzyCube was originally a chat screen name. I didn’t want to use any name that was too obvious and had to come up with something totally random, just like my personality. It eventually became my artist name, and from there… my alias as a photographer.

When did you decide to become a full-time photographer?
Roughly over four years ago when I was beginning to notice a lot of things in the commercial photography industry was feeling a bit mundane. So I picked up cheap little 5MP camera and started toying around with it. The rest… well… as they say, is history.

What’s your favourite part of the photography process?
A lot of people may assume it’s the Post Production process, but for me it’s really when I’m actually interacting during a photo shoot. I love different kinds of people and what they all bring to the picture.

But here a few images to whet your appetite…

BJ aka Overlord X is a music producer, film director, writer, rap artist and founder of multi-media company, MO-AM Masters, but it is his electrifying photography that has caught iCandy’s attention. Here he tells us about his style, his inspiration and what it’s like working with the beautiful ladies…

How would you describe your photographic style?
My style is like a colourful graphic novel. I love super hero comics as well as the films. I would always picture in my head what kind of shots I would take if I was a photographer… and my style is just that.

You began photography as a hobby, were you surprised at the attention it began to attract and the direction it has taken?
Yeah, I was kind of surprised but the few people I was taking photos for at the early stages were telling me that my photos were out of this world, so I kind of prepared myself for the hype. Because I was working with Peeks and Bambi from Fresh as Tommi I did a lot of photography for them. Other people saw them so I started to get hassled by them to take their pictures, which is not a bad thing!! It just grew from there.

You are a music producer and an award winning film director as well as a photographer, do you think you will focus on any one area in particular in the future?
Believe it or not I am focusing on one thing: entertainment arts. I have been doing the arts a while through MO-AM Masters and I have been inspired by famous film directors who do photography but it’s just that I also produce beats. The main reason I took up photography was because it gave me a better understanding of film cinematography and the main reason I took up film was because I was a music producer with a craving for creating something visual to go with the beats. They all fuse together very well, for example, a big job came in from a client who I was doing some photography for, they also wanted a video promo done for an event they where putting on, which I filmed, and the final film needed original background music which I also produced.

What’s the best thing about being a photographer?
As well as being creative… I can’t lie… it’s taking amazing photos of the most beautiful ladies! Capturing a moment in time through my eyes.

Where do you find inspiration for your shoots?
I get a lot of inspiration from God and the subject that I’m shooting. I read a lot of magazines from the UK, Europe and States and I see a lot of photos that give me ideas. I strive to out do my last shoot so that also inspires me.

What is your most important consideration in a photo shoot?
The most important thing for me is lighting and the lens. If the two are not functioning properly then that’s a wrap, it’s not going to work for me. Lighting is important because that’s what creates shadows and allows the camera to get all the information needed for a great shot but you have to be careful you don’t over or underexpose. The lens creates the depth and the quality of the photo taken which is why I invested in a few different lenses.

As a photographer, what do you look for in a model?
I love models who generally want to model. It sounds obvious but too many people love the idea of modelling but when it comes to the work ethic…expressions, getting experience and learning the craft…it’s a different story. There’s nothing better than a model turning up who is ready and enthusiastic to do a great shoot.

What’s next?
I’m building my portfolio and I’ve already done work for various models, Apple Bottom, Armani Exchange and Boudi who stock Ed Hardy. I would like to start taking photographs of celebrities and to combine even more of the arts of entertainment, so watch this space….
