Sample of work

Second post of the day! I must have been really missing this blog. Anyway so I thought I would show you all out there some photos of my make up work. I'm in need of updating my portfolio, better get to work!

It's been a few days!

So it's been a few days since I've submitted anything, I just havn't had the time or anything interesting to say! But I'm back!

Last sunday I had a wonderful photo shoot with the very talented Twitch Photos. The concept which I'm guessing you are all very familiar with now was China Dolls. The shoot went very well and we had a great time doing it! So here are some pictures of the end product.

I was obviously doing the make up but it was lovely to get back in front of the camera and model. If you want to check out anymore work by Twitch Photos you can check her out on Model Mayhem: http://www.modelmayhem.com/twitchmcbrainfry

Earlier on in the week I went to this years Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park Corner. Had a great evening, spent a little more money then I wanted to! Winter Wonderland is a christmas bavarian style fair that is put on annually in london, it certainly brings the christmas spirit out in everyone, but if you are to visit I suggest that you prepare yourself for a lot of crowds, tourists and rather expensive prices! Other then that it is well worth it. There is lots of food to be had, german sausages, mulled wine and sweet treats. Remember to wrap up warm, I was freezing by the end of the evening! It's free entry into the park and it's open from 10am to 10pm. (http://www.hydeparkwinterwonderland.com/)

The added bonus of the evening was the photo opportunities, I took a camera a long and took MANY pictures. Here are a few to give you a taster of the fair:

Now for the song of the day, I've chosen this song because I'm a rather big fan of this band, but the song that I am going to post up is a cover from one of my favourite films. I watched this film for the first time on the way to the philippines and was hooked. I made everyone watch it, some liked it, some loved it and some were not so impressed. The film is Across the Universe, the whole sound track is Beatles covers. I found it interesting the way they interpreted the songs to fit around the story. This is one of my favourite scenes and possibly the most beautiful cover I've heard, the harmonies are tight and the song flows smoothly.

 'Because' - by The Beatles.



Enjoy!

Pink injections

My body is not working today! This morning I had to wake up early to go to the doctors to get injections done for the Philippines, my arm feels like it's been punched by Manny Pacquiao!

Anyway so I've not done much, though I did try to come up with some ideas for a shoot I have on the 21st with the wonderful Twitch Photos, the concept is china dolls, all frills, bonnets, lace and general cuteness. So what colour do you think of when it comes to china dolls? PINK OF COURSE! It took me a little longer then hoped to apply make up on myself due to punched arm but I eventually came up with something. 

This isn't the finished product, I still need to play around with it a little, I'm not completely satisfied! But that's a good thing right? I may just have to post up my progress as the week goes a long, I would like to see what you guys think!

The 'Song of the Day' has arrived!!! (applause now)

I'm always singing this bloody song and I need to get it out of my system. If any of you knew me personally or ever came to watch my old band The Texas Chainsaw Orchestra live you will know this song is close to my heart. Many an evening was spent dancing to this track.

So here is The Cherry Poppin' Daddies with ZOOT SUIT RIOT!!

Enjoy!
