Sometimes, the past creeps up and I start hearing in echo.

This thing inadvertently turned out more Tina Louise than anything.

I did this shoot with Danilo Hess in the Hamptons, for Treats magazine.

this came onboard.

I did both hair and make up for this one.

From silky shine to dreaded dreads, to set, onto the girl’s head, photographed, posing, back on the slab, tired dreadful dreads, to rested pretty hair.
I never throw away the hair I work with. It’s a loyal friend, especially when treated with love. In fact, damaged hair is the most pliable, malleable, cooperative, beautiful hair, that flourishes with a gentle nudge.

Kinda like people; the most damaged are the most beautiful inside, under the rough exterior.

After Blackbook shoot. First to arrive, last to leave. An empty studio is a scary, eerie place. Such is my life.

In the van, driving around the city shooting for Figaro Japan. That 4am wake up time, just wiped me. Zzzzzz t zt zt tz t. Zz yttztztztt tttz tzzzz

Ever since first I saw “The Misfits” as a child, it struck me how rough Marilyn’s wig looked. I recently stumbled upon her hair and makeup tests for this film, in soft make up and her own hair styled in a gentle, airy style, all of it very flattering. Who knows what took place between that test and the time on set with that chalky, hard wig and the kabuki face.
And all of that, under a crazy hard, unforgiving desert sun.

I’m loving this Autumn-y Summer. It feels like a win over Evil. Taking over from the vulgar, corrosive sun.
