Modelling
Back in June I modelled for knitwear designer Viktorija Rudenia and photographer Maya Art.
Viktorija contacted me after seeing my own photographs and style, and wanted to combine her styling with my hair and makeup for a new take on a cabaret/1920s look! I really love the results, mainly because it's nice to be styled by someone else and see how different I can look.
And at least now I can say that I have worn fuzzy pants. And pink!
Hurrah I'm finally a cover girl!
When I went to shoot with the awesome Scott Chalmers, he mentioned doing some shots for Alt-Mu Magazine, that could go along with an interview.
Well, the magazine is out, and not only do I have a 4 page interview, but Im also on the cover! Click on the link to read my blatherings about the different things I do. Also the rest of the magazine is a great read, and particulaly well designed (I'm a real stickler for well-designed magazines).
I don't think I've shared the other images from the shoot here yet... even if I have, I love them so much I'll share them again ;)
A few months ago, when it was A LOT warmer, I made a new owl friend.
Nandi from Nitemare Photography, designer Sample Remix and myself had been planning this shoot for months and months. We originally wanted to shoot when the cherry tree blossom was in season, however the weather just wasn't stable enough.
Finally we managed, with the help of the gorgeous owl (who's name I can't remember, but belongs to the designer's aunt!).
At the time, I posted some instagram shots of the makeup and hair I did on myself.
And here are the released shots!
As you may know, I tend to dress up. While I don't find Halloween particularly sentimental (as I'm British) , I couldn't possibly NOT try and organise an extra-special outfit, could I?
I've actually wanted to do this outfit for some time, but wanted to do it in a particular way. Unfortunately my sewing skills are particularly bad. Luckily, the genius Kirsteen Ross, also known as Boom Boom Baby, came to my rescue.
The Half Man - Half Woman costume has long been seen on the vaudeville stage, but I was particularly inspired by Zorita's version, which was a raunchier strip-tease.
I want to, eventually, turn this into an act, so I asked Kirsteen to create the costume in a certain way, so that each piece can be removed.
Here are a few self portraits of the finished look:
