what can i say - i'm huge with the under 12's

Well there you go then

Yesterday my partner in crime and hairstylist extraordinaire Merle Titus and I were discussing the casting of Julia Roberts as Liz in the movie adaptation of 'Eat, Pray, Love'. (Haters who think we chat too much at work, as it is, please exit stage left)

Anyway, we don't like Julia. We like Emily Blunt. We especially like her because she is beautiful in an un-intimidating, but naturally disarming way. We were wondering what she looked like without make up. And look who pitches up on Perez this morning? Lovely.

Apparently, one day, it will be Spring

Well, at least that's what we thought about three months ago when we shot our Spring main beauty story for Fair Lady! Styled by my dear and hugely talented friend Kim Gray, and shot by Jacques 'John Voigt' Weyers - here is our story, featuring Genevieve Morton from Full Circle
thanks Kimmy for the pics - easier to steal than to actually scan myself. KIDDING!

What a drag

Now I've recently become verrrrry fond of the over-eyebrow-contour-highlight. Too fond maybe.
Its hard not to love it, as when its done subtly, it creates a stencil for the eyebrow, a minute lift of the forehead and adds generally lightening and brightening of the eye area - its also chops about a decade off the facebook age you're willing to admit to.

I watched, mesmerised, as Odidi Mfenyana transformed to his alter-ego 'Odidiva' - a process which, not least of all, required an over-eyebrow-contour-highlight. Applied with a shovel.
And I liked it.

Probably time to tone it down a notch or two.
In the meantime, here's a link to Odidiva's fan page - the only singing drag in SA - fierce.
