June's been a boon, but I'm leaving soon

Loving June so far - quite a few have been new clients this month, all of whom I'd happily see again, and of course a few regulars and one repeat. I was not expecting a decent amount of work at this time of year, but it's true that you just never know with this job. Keeps me on my toes! Anyway, thanks June fullas: you're legends the whole bloody lot of ya, and although this should go without saying, especially in 2025, I'll say it anyway: I really fuckin' appreciate your business.

My 2025 availability calendar is a colour co-ordinated masterpiece and brilliant in every way, so I'm sure every single day upon waking up you're boosting to said calendar page just to bask in its tear-inducing glory. I don't blame you: green and pink is truly something to behold. Cry it out, babe, I'll be here for you through the tears, and for the special 2025 rate of $560 we can even cry over the calendar together for 2 hours. Remember back in the day when one would embed midi files into their websites/blogs? (RIP Geocities) No one likes unsolicited embedded music these days but man, I should totally embed Beethoven's Ode To Joy on that calendar page. Wow wow wow. So fitting, right?

Anyway, all of this to say that if by small chance you haven't been checking out the Gemma Rose Calendar of Joy, my last day before break is Thursday June 26. Just the usual Manawatu madness for a few weeks, all the mud, biking, mud and biking, biking and mud, family time, and will be back on....hmmm dunno....let me check the calendar...(omg the joy! the joy!) July 16th!

If you'd like to see me before I leave, you know what to do - and if you want to shore up a booking upon my return, feel free to contact me before I go to ensure a rapid response.

I'm ending with another throwback pic - this is me with blonde hair. This was taken in 2012. A DIY job, "naturally". Nice blouse though.
