Imogen was lovely in the house and so often we'd see her in the background of the picture and I always wished they'd focus in on her but more often than not the camera would focus somewhere or on someone far less interesting - and certainly less attractive. I must admit that some of the favourite bits for me were when Imo and others were in the 'prison'. Also loved it when Imogen and Glynn talked away in Welsh - although I couldn't understand a word they always appeared to be planning mischief. If the editing had been more neutral I'm sure that Imogen would have won easilly.

I loved that moment with Spiral.
I missed the start of it, and when came back into the room i wondered what the hell was going on between them, as it was so convincing.

Even when Ims wasn't pictured on screen you could often hear her in the soundtrack laughing at something. And there was no mistaking that laugh!

When BB let us I liked hearing the Welsh chat too. But I do remember wondering during BB if they would be showing more of those private conversations in the HL's if Imogen/Glyn were talking in English.

I'm still very grateful to the live feed though. If I hadn't seen so much of it I wouldn't be here today.... in the appreciation thread. If I'd been stuck with the HL's she would have just been another generic BB contestant. Soon forgotten like so many. But the live feed gave me a much more rounded idea of the person she is. And I liked that person a lot. So I'm still interested in what Imogen is doing now. And wanting her to be successful, both privately and in whatever career turns she takes.

Speaking of what she's been up to..... came across a couple of new pictures yesterday. From the file names they're from outside the Mahiki Nightclub London, around 9th Jun.

With Imogen's Nails launching soon it's good to see that Imogen's nails are looking so good.

A quick little post to bring Imogen's latest press piece to your attention.

Split over two articles Imogen had some interesting, and surprising, things to say in yesterdays Wales on Sunday about BB and what comes after.

Wales on Sunday pt 1
Wales on Sunday pt 2

Hmmm... i just checked her myspace and see that she logged in on the 13th. I would have thought she'd have left a message about what's happened to her site.

So now we know. Her hosting provider cut off her website cos it was too busy!

Wouldn't you know it would be something simple like that. And here's me coming up with all sorts of conspiracy theories about Imogen and the website. Some good, some bad, some ugly..... and some just downright weird. .....Who knew Imogen was on the grassy knoll? Or that she helped NASA fake the moon landing? And don't get me started on her helping Elvis to hide out in Wales all these years!........... What was I talking about? Oh, the website. Imogen's working on getting it back soon.

In the meantime.....

I found a couple of little pictures from the shoot that the Wales on Sunday have been using in stories involving Imogen. They're poor quality though.

Sllightly better quality are these additions to the Mahiki photos I posted earlier.

And finally in this long late night ramble....

In an article about what there is to see and do in Cardiff (Incredibly Welsh City) is this. "Scores of attractions and streets are named after famous Welsh folk, Lloyd George, Dylan Thomas and Gareth Edwards (strangely Imogen Thomas of Big Brother fame does not feature…)

Can't believe there isn't a street named after Imogen. I live on the opposite side of the country to Wales, but even we've got an Imogen Close, less than a mile from where I am. Wales should be doing better than that. We should start up a campaign now to get an Imogen Thomas Boulevard!

The website is now back online!

Hi Folks!

Any news of Imogen lately? How's she doing with her new Nail Bar? Are there any recent out and about pics?

I'm still looking for news of Imogen - has anyone got any goss? How's her Nailbar coming along?

Not seen anything new since the Mahiki pictures.


Sorry to keep you hanging on for the news. The only thing I can report is from the front line on Imogen's site. So it's already been seen by some. But might still be of interest to anyone who happens tp pass through here and who doesn't frequent that site.

The photo shoot Imogen and Matt did for OK! magazine has finally been published. With some very nice photos and an interesting little article too. Also on the magazine front New! printed an interview with Imogen about Rachel. (There was also a skin analysis test for New! which might have been out already.) And still to come, in Closer, is some testing Imogen did of a fake tan range.

July is going to be a nervously exciting and busy time. At the start of the month Imogen is hosting a Style Awards show. If I've been reading the right stuff it's in Swansea and will cover everything stylish. From the most stylish stars and bars..... to the best loos!

The 17th sees the launch party for the Imogen's Nails. Brace yourself Cardiff! The next day the Bar gets an official opening for her family and friends. Then on the 19th it's the final of the Miss Wales competition, and Imogen is going to be judging.

Oh! And Imogen's also got some calendar photos to get done too!

I think that covers it all.

Thanks Gooose.

Great to hear that Iomogen has been keeping so busy, all the tax she'll pay will help pay for my pension.

Is it this weeks editions of the mags that you are referring to? - if not do you have the dates of the issues? - or know anywhere I can find scans etc? I hope there are lots of pics of the Miss wales contest - with most of them of Imogen of course.

Thanks again.

This weeks? Just about I guess. The date on New! (with the interview about Rachel) is June 30th so I presume another edition is out tomorrow? The date on OK! is July 1st, so a new edition on Wednesday for that one?

The fake tan piece in Closer might appear in this weeks magazine. Out on Tuesday?

(Can you tell I don't look at or get these magazines regularly?)

As for scans? I've not seen any yet. So I might have to find the time to do them myself.

Wow! Imogen's got an appreciation thread!
I was never a huge fan of her, but I thought she had one of the most natural bellowing laughs in BB history! It's a pity more of this wasn't shown in the daily highlights programme... instead of the bitching sessions with Grace & co.

Thanks a lot Grooose.

I saw the pics of Imogen and Mat in OK today - they looked so relaxed and comfortable together - beautiful pics. Could stand in the shop and read all of the article but the short bits I did read seemed interesting.

Glad you got to see it. Loved the pictures where they were messing about and having a good laugh. Shame the article wasn't a bit longer and with more pics though.

A couple of nights ago one of the adverts that appear round the edges of this site caught my attention. It was an advert for MYA, and there was a picture of Imogen in it.

It was the first I've seen Imogen used in there advertising. At the moment it's the only time too, because I've not seen it since. But I'm sure it'll be back soon.

Thought I'd pop in to relay something Imogen posted on her site some four hours ago. Imogen now has a new little nephew to spoil.

"hello everyone....

Ive been up all night and all day today. my sister went nt labour at 10pm last night and gave birth at 1.50pm today. Im so proud. She was great and baby martias is absolutely gorgeous. I lve him so much....totally head over heels....hes such a hero! I hope ur all well..."

Congratulations to Imogens' sister and husband.

Has Imogen opened her nail bar yet?

It finally opens to the public this Saturday.

Thanks for the information, I hope all goes well for her

Has anyone any info about the launch party and or opening of Imogen's Nail Bar? I'm surprised by the lack of pics or other coverage.

If everything goes to plan Imogen is on BBLB today.




All info thanks to Imogen.

The launch party went well, plenty of people turned up and a blast was had by all. The Nail Bar itself has been busy since it opened and has been keeping Imogen occupied. And Imogen still can't believe she's got her own business. She might be busy, but she's still enjoying her time in Cardiff.

This week there has been some filming at the Nail Bar too, and some pampering, for Wags World, on Wedding TV.

Thanks for the update Gooose - pleased to hear the nail bar is going well for Imogen and it was nice to see that she has been leaving people in no doubt what she thinks about the treatment that Rachel is getting. Although I'm a commited Chanelle supporter I'm taking and active interest in how Imogen's friend Rachel is doing ... she's by far the nicest and most attractive of this years HM's.

Here's a couple of links -

Grooose I thought you would have updated this by now!
Pull your finger out, your slipping!

Oops!

Didn't know the BBLB clip was on youtube already. Thanks for posting that.

But the Big Ears podcast! (Hangs head in shame.) Thought I'd posted a link to that already. I remember meaning to. Slipping indeed!!

Hope this makes up, just a little bit, for my negligence. Imogen on the BB site, with some more of her take on this years BB.
