Michelle Olley is a British writer, journalist and magazine and book editor. Michelle Olley attended the University of Westminster in London where she attained a BA (Hons) in Media Studies, specialising in print journalism.〔(LinkdIn career information )〕 She began her career in journalism at TW Publishing Ltd when writing and feature-editing Skin Two magazine (along with co-founders and editors, Tim Woodward and Grace Lau) – interviewing, amongst others, Jean Paul Gaultier, Tim Burton, Marilyn Manson, The Cramps, Marc Almond, Terence Sellers and Clive Barker〔http://www.clivebarker.info/ints90.html〕 – before becoming associate editor and director of TW Publishing Ltd at only 23 years of age. ==Skin Two Rubber Ball== In 1992, Olley instigated the now-famous fetish club night the Skin Two Rubber Ball, which in the 90s went on to become the largest and most high profile fetish party in the world. The original Ball was held in aid of the MS Society and Cruisaid (the 1995 Ball alone raised £16,000 for the latter).〔 Guests on the opening night included John Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Leigh Bowery and Mick Jagger disguised in a fake moustache and Muir cap. Olley hosted, ran and MC-ed the Ball from 1992 through to 1996. In that time it became an international event with people coming from all over the world to attend and to participate in the increasingly elaborate fashion shows and performances. Of the inception of the Rubber Ball, Olley said: :''“We decided that we wanted to do a 'public' fetish party because in the early 90s there was a lot of tabloid/police interest in fetish clubs and people were getting closed down by raids in the summer of 92, so we decided that instead of hiding and going quietly, the thing to do would be to hold a more open event, invite the press, let everyone know that the press were there, get them to show up in the mood for a fun party rather than anything more full-on and have a public celebration of dressing-up and general sauciness.'' ''It grew from an event for 2,000 people in 1992 to a bursting to capacity 4,500 people crammed into Hammersmith Palais by 1994.“'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michelle Olley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
