I have been sitting here for a few hours now, trying to think of how to start this flog post, and more importantly how to end it. As dedicated flogstars will know, I could talk about Bowie until the cows come home, but I am without cows so it’d be a bloody long wait. I still don’t think I’d run out of things to say about David, his greatness and how much I luuuurve him.
So, this post is all pictures, not because I have nothing to say, but because I feel slightly overwhelmed by how much ground I could cover. We’d be here all night. And day. And then all night again.
I took these today on my camera but the real photos will be even better – these are just a cheeky little sneak peek, just close-ups of makeup but you just wait til you see the fully styled and finished shots.
Today’s team was:
Mega-babe models: Rebecca Goldie and Aaron Bird
Photographer extraordinaire: Paul Wylie
Hair magician: Gillian Cleminson
Wardrobe/styling genius: Kim Wallace
Bowie makeup specialist: Imogen Maxwell (that’s me, kids)
Location: The Buff Low Cafe, Glasgow (who very kindly allowed us to shoot on their premises when our first location fell through at the very last second!)
she was winking, you just can’t see it
my dedication to Bowie rivalled only by Aaron’s – shaved eyebrows. My hero.
Goldie by name, goldie by jacket/lip colour/forehead circle.
I’m messy and I take up ALL the space and I’m NOT sorry
I had the best day doing this; normally there are some butterflies that come with rocking up to a shoot not knowing anyone, not knowing how it will turn out, who will show up, what the atmosphere will be, whether my work will be good enough etc etc etc. But this was my total happy-place in every detail: doing my very favourite makeup amongst calm, focussed, organised, dedicated, professional creatives at work. Now, to find a way to get paid for this shit! 😉
Thanks to all those who were involved in making this shoot happen; I can’t wait to see the finished shots! Now just watch this just quickly.
