Painting Oonah.. another day, another poka dot bikini dipped in acrylic, as you do..

Painting Oonah.. Punk/ Goth ..Acrylic tears ...

Eugene McGuinness - LION Single cover

I worked on this a week or so ago with Will and Dylan aka the directing duo 32.
The model is the delightful Rebbecca Victoria who I met on the Magnetic Man video.
For Rebbeccas hair I used Sugar Shock from Tigi Candi fixations range and for the Tatoo i used up a lot of patience. The original was sketched by a friend of 32 up north Giulio Bigazzi you can see it below.

Everyone's raving about Eugenes up and coming new album check him out here http://www.eugenemcguinness.net/

Thanks to Issey for your support on the day! Also  the Lennox brothers for leaving the Pinot Noir!!

Eugene McGuinness - LION Directed by 32

I worked on this video with my favorites 32.  Will and Dylan. Here's Eugene McGuinness with LION. Got a sneaky listen to his new album in the car. Its Epic.  He is definitely one to watch out for and what a talented dapper lad he is.
Art direction is beautiful in its simplicity and Pigeon shit starkness, I kid you not we stood in it all day.

I  got to try out the Bed Head Tigi Candy Fixations range, I used loads of sugar dust to get a matte finish on the hair and the ferrel messy look combined with Sugar shock to enhance the natural movement of the hair, leaving it just perfectly unkempt.

So I guess this comes under "some of the things I get up to..." TIGI BED HEAD CANDY FIXATIONS

So Yesterday I went to Purple PRs event of the aforementioned new product range, what a delight it was a magical world of irredescent candies, milk bottles, lollypops and Fizz....NOT Frizz.

Im not really one for my hair smelling like sweets but this stuff is divine, with products with yummy names such as Sugar Dust. Sugar Shock, Totally Baked, Mega Whip.. hair care straight from Charlies Chocolate Factory.

I came home with Carnaby Streets very own Denim Delicious Simone Clarke, whos hair I have bleached 3 times in as many days and is still as soft as babies.  No volume Simone...Not anymore she left looking like a Cherish Madonna and padded down the street leaving a delicious trail of loveliness.


Check out the products.  Candy Pin up girl has hair to dye for. Jealous! She looked every bit a Candy Fixation yesterday with great make up from Nina Fay Robinson, who I am proud to say that I taught once upon a time.

Here's the ever delicious Josh Quinton and Sami Knight having a lick of the Lolly.  I'm not sure which josh was most pleased about coming across a giant lolly pop or the fact the goody bag went so well with his out fit! And the lovely Louie and mega babe Mimi sampling some good old fashioned confectionery on sticks.

More gorgeous dresses, more Mimi, more Coco Fennel, more from all of us and lots more fun in The Studio in the Palace! - Im really diggin these Coco!

My favourite boy, MR LOUIE BANKS! for i-D online....

So whats to say about Louie, anyone that knows me knows how much I love Louie Banks, I love being with him, I love working with him...and i love talking about him!  The i-D piece written by Harriet Verney describes him to a T.

'A scatty, fire-breathing Brighton kid and son of a human cannonball'......
'This bow-legged, buffalo wearing, snapper’s quest for photographic perfection is all over the shots for This Is How We Do It. In whatever weird, warped and wonderful way Louie chooses to interpret his subjects, he never fails to produce a picture that can stop one’s head fitting through a door.'

- That's just for starters.

WOLFGANG - The King and All His Men

Amelia by Dan Curwin

GO ON WOLFGANG!! - I love these guys they are SO good live, you should definately catch one of their shows if you haven't already.

1 Day at Beachy head and 1 day in the Chislehurst Caves, something like 1500 or 15000 people lived in those caves during the war and apparently according to Geoff, Druids used to sacrifice women and children in there apparently it was an honor to be chosen.

Most haunted MUST have done an episode down there...but I'm not sure about that.

The tunnels stretch 22 miles underground. You can tour the caves with a guide. There is also a serious reenactment club next door. There were lots of Thor like characters munching on sandwiches, supping tea on the veranda with all sorts of artillery strapped to their backs.  Of the plastic variety and Geoff a genuine tour guide should know, he's a retired cop from Texas. It was a bit like going on an educational school trip and making a music video.  At Beachy head it was a bit like going on a hiking expedition and doing the same.

Anyhow, I got to spend 2 days with the lovely Aimee Croysdill (stylist) and Max and Aimee's assistant Leila Hartley, ANNNGUS, Dan and the rest....and fish and chips on the beach as the sun set.

I can't seem to embed the video so here's a link

UNORTHODOX - Wretch 32 feat. Example Directed by Ben Newman

So this was a pretty full on video shot on 2 days, my day was spent on Broadwater farm estate in Tottenham in various stairwells where Wretch 32 grew up and still lives. I was a bit thrown when the taxi driver refused to drive me on to the estate because he claimed it was too dangerous... well after a 10 minute debate he did.

So my characters were the goth ballet dancer and Jasmine that you would have previously seen on my blog in the Wiley video as a manga street dancer. Also Wretch 32 and Example in and around the estate and pirate radio station. Plus the amazing kid dancer.... the rest of the make up was down to Bianca Simone.
All in all another great video from Ben Newman well deserved winner of best new director at the VMA's

Coming soon...

Saturday with Oonah ...

I bought an i pad! Yay!  So I figured that I would be able to blog more.... however I was disappointed to learn that I cant upload images from my i pad...grrrr.... So if anyone knows of a good blogging App please be sure to let me know about it...
