Homage to Daphne Groeneveld

Just a quicky (tee hee). Basically my blog layout is soo old and out of date I NEED to change it. But before I do I deffo need to do another 'Homage' post but this time to the beautiful and slightly weird Daphne Groenveld. The beauty shot I was using was from Vogue Paris, a September 2010 Issue, Styling done by Carine Roitfeld and photography by Mert & Marcus. So yes here is the sexy pic below... below I change me blog layout! wahhhhh (but well needs to be done) Thanks Daphne. (The name just reminds me of Scooby Doo).

Peace Out (someone please give me a suggestion of how to end my blogs coz 'Peace Out' & Peave Y'all' are both fucking terrible. Cheers x

Homage to Freja Beha Erichsen

It's a special time for my blog... the background is changing, but I don't think this can become a reality without paying respects to Freja Beha Erichsen, the model who loves to jump and bump on the runway look like a twat land up in Vogue and probs doesn't get out of bed for $20,000, (suck on that Linda Evangilista). Soooooo yes the picture as displayed below that has been on my blog for sometime was from a 70's inspired photo shoot of the March 2010 edition of Japanese Vogue. I've left the picture exactly the same as from the magazine (as it was cropped for my blog background purposes). SCANDALOUS! Photographed by Terry Richardson this was one of few black and white shots of the beaut. I Love Her! So if you haven't heard of her and you are writing a fashion or beauty blog, or any thing fashiony.... do your fucking homework.

Peace Y'all!!!

All my hairy ladies, Now raise your brows up!

Armpits, Legs, Tash, Privates and for some of you hairy weirdos Hands, well you can now leave Eyebrows off that list. Brooke Shield's face has gone from a beaut to a mouldy mango with two slugs fighting to get to the core so here is your chance to take her place!

Brooke Shield in her prime, look at those brows!
It's 2011, so seriously let your brows grow wild, with the Bohemian Apocalyptic Woman taking over the fashion world who would even consider that she has time to pluck those brows? (Probably only Katie Price). Summer is drawing to a close so a definite style to be floating around for the next few months is the thick brow, a timeless beauty trick because to be honest pencil thin or tattooed brows have always been a train wreck. A thin brow is only complimented by a McKenzie tracksuit, a thick brow gives the impression of "I could thread, wax and pluck 'em but you and your hairy mono-brow can fuck off if you think I am going to."
A nicely shaped brow doesn't mean a thin one, and there are easy steps to follow to pull off a successful full brow just as many supermodels are currently doing so! 

A great example is from Fernanda Tavares, a current face for Dolce & Gabbana, how do you spell Gabbana? (if you don't know what film that is from just get out). Fernanda Tavares has thick brows yet definite shape to her brows, STEP 1 - KEEP THE SHAPE - Tavares shows the importance of keeping ones brow shape, you don't wanna look like you have two Tetris oblongs on your face, so let your brows grow out so that when you next come round to plucking you can keep the same shape yet have more to work with thus making them thicker, see that isn't so hard is it?

Notice the Spanish for 'Very Sexy' is 'Very Sexy'
Pay attention to the brow! Not the bra it's hideous.
STEP TWO - Secure a front cover and six page spread of Mexican Vogue so everyone believes big brows are sexy, cool and modern. I'm joking of course, (although if you could do this it would be a bonus), if sadly you are not the long lost twin of supermodel Ali Michael the next step is to make sure your complimenting your hair, makeup and clothing - Big brows does not work for everyone! Having big brows and keeping them sexy yet chic can be difficult for blondes, red heads and light hair tones, this is because its difficult to have a big brow that stands out with a difference. There is nothing wrong with a blonde using some brow liner pencils (I'm not suggesting a brand of brow liner because frankly that 45 year old orange leather skinned woman on your local Clinique counter gets paid for it). Just keep it at a light coverage for lighter skin tones and obviously get the correct shade (I'm talking to you Nicola Roberts). Also consider what your personal style is, if you enjoy lots of floral print (snoring!) your probably going to want to stay with your under-achiever regular brows, big brows are complimented by colour blocking, layering, faux fur outerwear, bohemian, punk rock &  mod styles and sleek and chic evening wear.

STEP THREE - The first time you let your eye brows grow out I would recommend threading (plucking is semi-acceptable if your a poor ho), threading for the first time helps give the brows shape and definition, painful as is apparently is, it also is done from the perspective of a professional and someone who hasn't seen your brows when they looked like really long pubic hairs, therefore the threader can keep them thick and give you tips on how to pluck them effectively.

STEP FOUR - Before you jump outside to show your social circle your new brows like a tramp on chips, make sure you are confident and have followed the 3 completely scientifically accurate steps above! You don't wanna look like Megan Fox after the surgery!

So that's one less thing for you to maintain as obviously you can let them get as hairy as fuck whilst you grow them out! And below I have also included a picture of uber annoying Cycle 3271 (a.k.a 14) America's Next Top Model contestant Raina Hein who has some spectacular big defined eye brows.

100% Hideous - Nicola Roberts
My lips look like they are made out of foreskins, but look at my brows!
If your wondering, no Raina didn't win.
Enjoy your brows hairy gurl! And who knows maybe next year a full fledged bush will be on the cards as the new fashion craze!
