An emotional protest march on the North Norfolk coast of the UK to save a village post office has captured the hearts of a Nation and has sparked off a series of events across the UK. Norman Lamb MP from the Liberal Democrat party delivered a poignant speech to hundreds of protesters that blocked the streets in scenes rarely witnessed in recent history, "The decision to close a post office that is evidently a thriving business is outrageous" said Mr Lamb "It is an essential need for the elderly and disabled in rural villages, all political parties must speak with one voice to make it clear we will not accept the closure of this post office"
The incredible scenes were captured on a seven minute video documentary that has been broadcast on You Tube titled 'Protest March Against East Runton Post Office Closure' The video clip has influenced celebrities from the region to voice their thoughts and throw their weight behind the fight to keep the Post Office open.
Miss Marie and Anna Lu from Norfolk based agency Amber Models gave up their Sunday roast in exchange for a sizzling photographic session in aid of the PO cause. The two beauties from Norwich wore sexy bikinis and created a stir in Cromer as they made their way to East Runton stores. The message was clear "We must keep this post office open" said Anna "We must do it for our children and our children's children, it's not just for the elderly it's for people of all age ranges"
Video footage of the girls visit to Cromer can be found on the You Tube documentary clip as video responses and on the official save East Runton Stores MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/eastrunton Andreas Yiasimi, head of Amber Models said "This is something the girls wanted to do as a gesture of support after being moved by the You Tube video. I respectfully understand from a business point of view why PO chiefs are taking these drastic actions but they have taken one big swipe without actually realising there would be such a big public outcry. I sincerely hope that our Prime Minister is at least reviewing these decisions that will inevitably affect the elderly and disabled. One can only hope that there will be a favourable intervention from number 10 with a reasonable and amicable solution.
A pageant queen, Hollywood actress and a top glamour model were the most unlikely combination to grace Mister Lonely's gala premiere screening at Cinema City in Norwich. Melita Morgan that plays a Maddona impersonator in the cult movie teamed up with Sunday Sport favourite, Polly Guy and former Miss Norwich Rebecca Richardson.
The grand affair was boosted with an appearance by movie cast, Daniel Rovai, Mal Whitely and rising child star, Michael-Joel Stuart. The celebrity event was captured by Amber Models UK and covered by the regions media. Click onto the link below for the full amazing story, picture album and video footage.

Former Sky Granada Men and Motors star Debs has released a song called 'Wolf Whistle' on the eve of George Wimpey's ban in Bristol. Builders were shown the red card to deter them from practising the age-old tradition of the wolf whistle in case it put off potential buyers.
The ban stunned Debs and threw promotional efforts into a different direction overnight. The words of the song had already caused a mixed public reaction with claims that it actually glorified wolf whistling 'I thought it was an April fools joke when I first read about the ban in a National Newspaper' said Debs ' Most of the women I know love the attention and it's a bit of fun'
A video is planned for the track in the summer complete with wolf whistling builders and dancers, so far there's no indication that's going to change. Trendy Records are hoping that a building firm may come forward to support Debs concerning a location.

Norfolk's Amber Models Red Carpet Celebrity Launch
Hollywood Actress Melita Morgan Opens Event
East Anglia's Rising Stars Turn On The Style
Top Fashion Sponsors Move In
Norfolk was host to one of the biggest showbiz events in our region to celebrate the achievements of Cromer Based promotion Agency, Amber Models UK. Top UK glamour models, fashion experts and recent Hollywood actresses gathered at Constantia Cottage Restaurant in East Runton to mark this extraordinary occasion.
Amber Models was founded a few years ago by Andreas Yiasimi, former front man of world music band 'The Constantia Brothers' "I had no idea that we would reach this favourable stage when I decided to start the agency off" explained Andreas "It was a desire to genuinely help artists and models in our area after realising there was a call for it, I'm delighted to be here today representing all these talented girls and boys. This alone is an achievement in itself that hopefully will push Norfolk in the forefront of a very tough industry"
The evening was a glamorous affair that had all the ingredients of a 'London Award Ceremony' complete with world press photographers and a film crew from Norwich School Of Art and Design. The students were given a golden opportunity to cover the major event when they approached Amber Models asking for an actress involving a project. "It was a pleasure to give this assignment to the boys" said Andreas "I have seen some of their work and I was very impressed. The people behind the scenes are just as important, we could be looking at future UK filmmakers here, it's all about giving people a chance if they deserve it"
The wind swept North Norfolk coast didn't dampen spirits and all the models turned on the style for the awaiting media. A spectacular display of ball-gowns and cocktail dresses graced the venues entrance and set the mood for the rest of the night. Security had to be tightened after the event was leaked in an article in the National Press so security from Norwich was drafted in to control the surrounding area three hours before the launch.
One of the first to arrive was Hollywood's new sweetheart Melita Morgan from Norwich that has just landed a leading role in a film directed by the great Harmony Korine titled 'Mister Lonely' Melita turned heads with a sexy dress sponsored by Love Couture of Norwich. "I'm here to support our up and coming models and actresses in Norfolk" said Melita "It's a wonderful thing to have a base right here on our doorstep, I'll be organising an open day in the New Year along side Amber Models where models can have a one on one chat with me about what they want to do"
Sunday Sports girl, Polly Guy, turned up the heat with a revealing dress sponsored by Babushka in Norwich. "It's fantastic to be a part of this launch" said Polly "It's unusual to have fashion models, Hollywood actresses and glamour girls all from one promotional outfit, it's about time the starchy stereotype image in modelling was smashed! I would love to try my hand in acting, perhaps as a James Bond girl or to appear in one of our British soaps"
The evening wouldn't have been complete without Rebecca Richardson from North Walsham that clinched the prestigious Miss Norwich title this year. Rebecca surprised everyone by turning up with her crown and an amazing dress designed by her mother! "It's my privilege to be representing our region and Amber Models tonight" said Rebecca "It's every girls dream to win a major competition and I'm enjoying every minute of it. It's very important to make the most of something like this and I'm willing to share my title by advising other models that are thinking of entering a pageant competition" Miss Norwich has been sponsored by 'Love Couture' of Norwich and 'After Dusk' in Norfolk.
Hundreds of photographs and life size posters graced the walls at Constantia Cottage that reflected the hard work over the past months. Andreas's speech emphasised the importance of keeping ones feet on the ground and covered poignant subjects like drug and alcohol abuse "It's not all about glamour" said Andreas "People don't realise that it's hard work being a model or actress and the most important thing is keeping everything on a level. There are no promises in this industry but at least we are helping local girls and boys that perhaps wouldn't have had a look in otherwise. I have always liked a challenge and it's fantastic that we are achieving so much, not only for the models but for our beautiful region as a whole"
Projects for next year were announced, including an international photographic shoot involving 12 male models that will sport combat gear sponsored by the Kit Bag in East Runton. A Norfolk and Norwich fashion show is also on the cards. Music sign ups include Norfolk singer 'Julianne' and international Greek songbird, Leo Lemond.
