Not only was the evening hugely entertaining for all who came, but it managed to raise around ten thousand pounds for this extremely worthy cause. Our finished sculpture was displayed in the theatre auditorium to greet the audience as they came in and was given to the person who gave the most generous charitable donation of the night.

September 2006 - 'Eat Me' Edible Bread Bodies at Thames Festival
Earlier this year, CJ Munn and Andre Masters were commissioned by the artist Sharon Baker to create 3 full body moulds of Sharon for the Thames Festival art event 'Eat Me'. The moulds were filled with bread dough and baked in the biggest bread ovens in the country, at the National Bakery School, and then presented to a large and hungry audience outside the Oxo Tower on London's South Bank. The bodies were then cut, hacked, chewed, torn apart then consumed in true cannibalistic fashion to the delight of some and horror of others. Click on the photo for further eye-popping images.
January 2006 - First Female Genital Casting Workshop launched
This January, Rockabelly Lifecasts held their very first female genital casting workshop. The workshops, designed to help women celebrate their femininity and sensuality are also enormously fun occasions. This is an women-only experience that can be deeply emotional, educational or simply hilarious depending on the individuals involved and the mood of the moment. Never as embarrassing as people expect, but much much more fun and enlightening than can be described here, the casts produced in these workshops can be taken away on the day or decorated by CJ Munn (prices vary).
Officially, these decorated casts are known as the 'Designer Vaginas', but any woman who knows her intimate anatomy will be quick to point out that the vagina is the only part of the genitals that don't actually appear in the casting. But nothing catchy rhymes with vulva or labia, so until someone comes up with a better name....
