The Big Shoot

Hair and Makeup Inspiration

A week away and there is so much organizing and preparation left to be done. I'm so psyched. It's going to be beautiful. Lower west side locations, sunset, modern rockabilly hair and makeup...delicious. I'm so tired of searching for things on my computer: models, hair, makeup, locations, e-mails. My eyes burn. This has turned out to be almost as exhausting as my fashion shows. The images are going to be bad ass though. Did I say that I have two-THREE photogs shooting this event. And my super supportive boyfriend is going to be filming it for a behind-the-scenes segment on my website. It's all coming together. So! Below are some collages I put together for the hair and makeup inspiration.

Much of this inspiration, in no particular order, was gathered in Key West on a schooner

90 miles from Cuba. Photographs by yours truly.

Start with the cocks everywhere.

Land, sea, and sky leisure activities.

My fave shot. Red head in charcoal hoodie, wearing vertical striped shorts. I believe in the vertical stripe. Remember that.

Various sunsetting...

Ships as inspiration: Prints, graphics, etc.

Native American or New Zealand tribal tatt? Couldn't figure it out?

Anchors always for Resort/Spring Summer!

Lady pinups

Chris (left) & Christian aka Cheese (right), were kind enough to be my subjects. Thanks guys!

Go Fly a Kite

I saw a woman playing with her son on the beach in Key West and they both had these very small iridescent butterfly kites. First, I want to find those kites for myself. Second, kites are a great inspiration for seam lines, color blocking, and geometric shapes. For your inspiration and for mine...

Thanks a million... Getty Images for all the years of helping me express my inspiration. www.gettyimages.com
