Iris- Ilovegerardo

I just love Iris, of the YouTube channel, Ilovegerardo. She's my hair guru. She is a lover of the vintage/retro styles like me!

Her latest video showing how to get that Rosie the Riveter look is brilliant.

And if you haven't subscribed to her channel yet, here is a link! You won't be disappointed. Definitely one of my favourite channels on YouTube.

Sylvie Guillem

(Note: I've attached 2 YouTube videos showcasing Sylvie. One is from her latest show, although this video doesn't do the show justice, and the other is a sample of Sylvie's other work)

On Tuesday night, I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Sylvie Guillem and Akram Khan in "Sacred Monsters" at the Sydney Opera House.

There are a few classic performers, that I've had the fortune of seeing, that I will hold in my heart forever. You know, the kinds you'll tell your grandchildren about. For me, those people are Topol (from Fiddler on the Roof), Barbra Streisand, KD Lang, Cyndi Lauper and Sylvie Guillem!

If you are not too sure who Sylvie Guillem is, she's an amazing French ballerina, dancing both contemporary and classical styles. For anyone who is a fan, you'll know her for her amazing extensions and beautifully strange arched feet. I personally prefer classical ballet, over contemporary, but she is a master at both.

I caught Sylvie in her latest work with Akram Khan in "Sacred Monsters". Choreographed by Khan and danced to Philip Sheppard's amazing Arabic influenced compositions. The band..... *pauses* ..... lost for words...... the male vocalist had the most superb spine tingling voice.

The whole premise of the show was a reflection of their spiritual journey through dance, through breaking traditions. It's sincere, and not so intellectualised that it becomes a mash of nonsensical rubbish (which is my criticism on contemporary). It was perfect.

Anyway, just check it out. You won't regret it.

Here is a link to her upcoming shows in the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy.

Shadow Shields

A great idea for those girls who find eyeshadow fallout an aggrevation!

Shadow sheilds are disposable cotton pads that are self adhesive and are lightly stuck under the eye. Kind of like a post it note, it sticks at one end, so that when it's pressed down on the eye it creates a lip, sticking out a little to catch any eyeshadow.

They come in a pack of 50, and cost $16.95US. They can be ordered online. I'm not sure of the stockists. I'll investigate further and let you know!

Yaaayyy! I'm back online!!!!

Hello my pretties!!!

I'm back online. My computer crashed last week, and the only emailing and maintenance on the website I could do was on the work computers! I have bought a sexy new computer and am just trying to catch up on a few things.

So anyone who is hanging out for the vids- they are coming! The hair vids have been put on hold till next week, as I've had some trouble meeting up with my models. But the Mod Makeup vid will be up this weekend. Phew!

Ok! Now I need a cup of tea, and need to install some more programs on my new computer. Oh, I'm as busy as a bee. ; )

Sneak Peak- Berry Purple Makeup

A little sneak peak at my latest shoot with Summer for Frou Frou Magazine.

I wanted something a little bolder, and alternative without being too over done.

Ok, say no more, say no more. Look out for it in the next issue of Frou Frou Mag, and a video tutorial.
