Blondes have more fun


I can't believe I haven't written a post about my earliest and still favourite Make Up Icon, Marilyn Monroe. I didn't have posters from Big League up on my walls, it was all Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. I could stare at Marilyn's lips for hours. I remember at a Christmas party the other kids were watching the cricket and I was in another room watching a Marilyn movie marathon. Strangely enough though I am a gentleman that prefers red heads then brunettes. Although again I contradict myself when I admit that my two fave models of all time are Karen Mulder and Lilly Donaldson. Or is it Christy Turlington and Coco Rocha? I do have a soft spot for Cyntia Dicker, OMG that hair and those freckles.

M.A.C.simum Impact


I receive emails from M.A.C. often, sometimes several per week, no surprise there, I did subscribe to them. Yet M.A.C. do always seem to have a little surprise in store in the form of a great graphic, a cool tip, a good deal or a crazy concept. The hello kitty range fell into the later for me. Even though I didn't rush out to buy any, I draw my girliness line at Make Up, Hello Kitty's way too far, I appreciated the pairing. Yesterday I received notification of their latest master stroke, Disney Villains. M.A.C. have always stood out from other houses with their cutting edge MUA vibe, not to mention their often confrontingly, in a great way, tattooed counter staff. So alighning themselves with some of animations cunningest bitches works for me. Check out their new window graphics on DJ's Castlereagh Street window.

Interviewing Technique


Having now completed my first ever interview and wanting to do more, I now know that I need some tips to brush up my technique. So firstly I need to find someone with great interviewing skills and secondly someone as a make up artist I would love to interview.

I know exactly who fits the bill.

Being a fashion fan I fell in love with Amber Renae on Project Runway and now regularly see the gorgeous Amber interviewing on FTV. So adding two and two together I thought I would make it my goal to interview Amber about interviewing. Whilst I'm at it I'll throw in some questions about make up. A girl with eyes like Amber's should definitely have some tips.
