Ellen Von Unwerth, Snow Queen Vodka

Snowy was like a cat on a hot tin roof as Pandemonia reached for the wraparound dress and Snowy's collar. This get-up was to wear to artist photographer Ellen Von Unwerth's private view.

This PV was for the Snow Queen Vodka 2013 calendar, shot by Ellen, at Gallery Different, Percy Street, W1.



Upon entry, Pandemonia and Snowy spied the capital gentleman of fashion, Aizak Buyondo. Aizak was glugging an SQ vodka cocktail and tipped Pandemonia and Snowy not to leave without the goody bag. "It's got the calendar worth £150 in it," he whispered.

Pandemonia and Snowy turned their attention to Ellen's handiwork, which was dominating all the walls, only to encounter milliner Stephen Jones.



Stephen gushed, "I've been following P&S from their conception." He went on, "Let's do the money shot," and promptly asked P to plonk Snowy on his head.



Snowy felt a vertigo attack coming on but, luckily, was rescued and brought closer to earth by a dashing pal of Gulnida Toichieva's son, tonight's host and president and owner of Snow Queen Vodka.

After thanking the Gulnida party posse, Pandemonia and Snowy shifted away, only to get paparazzi treatment from Ms E Von Unwerth.



Ms Unwerth showed Pandemonia and Snowy her pap snap.



And then followed a more formal introduction to Ms E V Unwerth by P&S's pal and international stylist Sasha Lilic. That done, Ms Von Unwerth said, "You two look great," and gave Snowy an affectionate hug. 



Next to give Snowy a squeeze was fashion stylist Sally Dixon.



Snowy continued to be fondled—this time, by dishy film director and ex male model Jean Horan. Jean took a shine to Pandemonia and Snowy and retorted, "You both should be in movies."



Taking inspiration from Ellen's work were Jeff Mehmet and burlesque star Immodesty Blaize. Pandemonia and Snowy know that whatever it will be, it will be provocative. 



From one illustrious couple to another, P&S got to meet Hofit Golan and her new squeeze. This time, Snowy got off lightly and was gently secured in P's hands. Leaving, Hofit said, "I look forward to seeing you both at  London Fashion Week'.



Turning to leave, Pandemonia and Snowy had a final chat with Suki Waterhouse, model at Next Agency. Suki let rip, "2012 was good year for me with Pepe jeans and M&S lingerie campaigns." Yep, not bad, indeed, for 19-year-old girlfriend of Kooks frontman, Luke Pritchard. P&S feel Suki has the makings for a rock star herself, so watch out, Luke! 

Finally, Pandemonia and Snowy clasped their goody bag and got in the cab on the way home, marveling at the calendar and wondering who'd use such a beautiful thing.

Steve Lazarides - Bedlam

The rain didn't dampen Pandemonia and Snowy’s endearing sense of ardour, rather they made sure they looked every bit the part for Steve Lazarides and Snow queen’s VIP view and dinner being held at the "Bedlam" exhibition, a showcase of 17 artists, in The Old Vic Tunnels, Station Approach Road, Waterloo.

Snowy stuck his nose through the black out curtains and felt apprehensive about entering. This fear died, when the lovely receptionist called her colleague to light the way with a torch. The location, P&S felt was; a perfect setting for artists to express their vision of Bedlam,as well as one that would be equally befitting as a Marquis de Sade playground.

After a wander, Pandemonia and Snowy found themselves in the VIP bar with Sophie Pasetti and Dee Vasali from Eleven11PR.

Dee got to work and thrusted a ‘Snowqueen Vodka cocktail’ in P's hand, while Sophia helped to maneuver Pandemonia and Snowy through the crowd so that they could sit next to, stylist to the stars, Sacha Lilic.

Sacha said, 'they are charming girls really, they've tipped me off about where we are dinning later - and it’s going to be fabulous darling'.

Pandemonia & Snowy went for a walkabout to the bar and, while doing so, they met Steve Lazarides, owner of Lazarides Gallery. When asked about his choice of venue, Steve explained, 'I'd joined forces with The Old Vic Tunnels this 3d and final time, because here our artists can show their larger pieces to full effect”.

Steve then proceeded to introduce exhibiting artist Antony Micallef, who led P&S towards one of his pieces, entitled “Blood on Head”. Pandemonia and Snowy looked on at the oil on linen painting whilst being enamoured by the artist’s remarks about their own look, “You look amazing!” Micallef, exclaimed!

Then, Pandemonia and Snowy joined the VIP conducted tour of the show with Steve in which he gave detailed explanations of the works and called up artist Tina Tsang, to talk people through her work. Tina took a brief second to say she was so glad to have met P&S, having seen the pair at London Fashion Week.

Another exhibiting artist Tobias Klien, told Pandemonia and Snowy his 'Ecstacy of St. Teresa' - which is made out of heavy duty fabric, laser cut aluminium sulphate and metal frame took him 6 days to grow!The result Snowy concluded was a pleasing medusa light form.

Moving on, Pandemonia and Snow met Atma, this Bordeaux lad showed P&S his two peices on display and explained why the “Bedlam Beat” made out of mobile phones and a mechanical pumping mechanism, that wouldn't look out of place in a Doctor Who sketch! Atma, remember it was Snowy gave you the idea first. Think about it?

Tour over, and P&S were ushered into a sectioned off area that could’ve resembled a Snow Queen’s palace dining room. Furnished, with its floor covered in white fabric to match the white table, chairs, table cloth and candles. On hand to greet Pandemonia and Snowy, was Gulnida Toichieva, President and owner of Snow Queen Vodka.

Seated, Pandemonia and Snowy feasted on a delicious array of Japanese cuisine with Tony Lewis, editor of Spashion and photographer/artist Jonathan Glynn-Smith, photographer on "Hi Suchi Events" - who, between mouthfuls proposed to do a shoot with P&S, saying 'they’re cool'.

Pandemonia and Snowy shifted to take a closer look at artist Conor Harrington’s 2 exhibits of oil spray paint and gold leaf on canvas, Fight Club and Who's World is This. And who better to sidled up & chat about them, than Ralph Taylor a director from Lazarides Gallery's. After explaining all, Ralph gave P&S his card and invited them to the gallery. Snowy thought that could be interesting.

Finally Pandmonia and Snowy grabbed their goodie bag and were about to leave when Tim Hulse, editor of British Airways Business Life, and his pal Kimberley Dewhirst intervened. Kimberley blurted out, “I'm a big fan and I'd love to have my picture with you.” Pandemonia and Snowy obliged and blew them all a kiss, before vanishing off into the night.
