Inspiration: CHARLIE LE MINDU
Charlie Le Mindu, hairstylist extraordinaire. This guy is amazing, and I am very inspired by all the work he does and his launch into fame these last few years. One day I hope to be a pop-up salon girl. Call me LOU LOU. ♥

Geisha
I just recently watched the film Memoirs of a Geisha. It was a wonderful movie and inspired me to post this pictures of real Geisha's from the 20's and 30's.

"If you don't look good, We don't look good, Vidal Sassoon!"
The new Bio/Doc about the life of Vidal Sassoon is out soon. The film premiered at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival with good reviews, this an excerpt from the Hollywood Reporter.
"As the film chronicles the radical cutting style Sassoon developed in the early '60s, someone points out the social impact of freeing women from their weekly primp-and-perm appointments -- cutting their hair in such a way that gravity did much of the styling work for them until time for the next cut.
Its talking heads come exclusively from the fashion/hair world, but the film benefits from long, likable interviews with the man himself. The worst thing is the possibility viewers will leave humming a jingle they may have managed to purge from their heads two decades ago: "If you don't look good / We don't look good / Vidal Sassoon!"

The Ziegfeld Follies
The Ziegfeld Follies were a group of beautiful women and performers who were in musical productions on Broadway. From 1907 to 1936 Klaw & Erlanger produced enchanting and very lavish shows. The Ziegfeld Follies were inspired by the Folies Bergères of Paris. The show was conceived by Florenz Ziegfeld. I love watching these old musicals, Ziegfeld's shows in particular.

When I first veiwed this video I wanted to post it right away, I did, and then erased it immediately after reading the words rapper Wanga says in Xhosa " I dont want to go to the bush with you, dont touch my penis im not a gay, this penis is for the girls, my penis is clean, my penis is strong....." I took the words as homophobic. Later I learned Xhosa culture is "un-fokking-believeably homophobic" in an interveiw with Ninja from Die Antwoord. This is the interveiw which swayed my mind enough to still post this visually creative video and beats. Although I must say i do not encourage the use of the word gay as a derogatory term.

Rooney Mara.
I didn't get a chance to see the film yet, but have heard great reviews about The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo. Rooney Mara, the films lead actress makes an incredible transformation into her character Lisbeth Salander. Here on the cover of Febuary's W magazine she was styled as Lisbeth and you will see what I mean. I love the wig they use for her character, and if I was to cut my hair short again I would want it to be a bad-ass cut like this!!
