First Fashion Show

Can't believe i have been in school for almost six months already! Time has been flying by!!! It probably helps that i have fun activities like this amazing fashion show i worked on for Fun-Raising at Paul Mitchell the School Costa Mesa.  This was my first fashion show ever and i learned a ton.  I learned that i should have pushed myself to be more creative, and i learned a ton about myself.  I was so lucky to have two beautiful models and to collaborate with two talented stylists.  Our inspiration was Horton Hears a Who.
Jazmin on the left and Tanya on the right
Jazmin in the pink was supposed to be the puff the Who's live on

Tanya was the vulture

To build the head pieces we used wire as the mold and attached synthetic hair with old school hair spray and spray adhesive to make it stick together.  We then pinned the pieces into place and covered the edges with hair.  For Jazmin i used an airbrush gun to color her hair a light pink. For Tanya we corn rowed half of her hair and teased the rest in the back up.

For makeup on Jazmin i used an airbrush gun to lighten her complexion and used a glue stick and concealer to cover her eyebrows.  I then used eyelash glue to attach the feathers.  I lined her eyes with winged black liner and attached false lashes to her top lashes and another set to the top of her cheeks.  I then used concealer to cover her lips and line with pink in a heart shape and filled with purple eyeshadow.

Makeup for Tanya was pretty simple.  On her face her regular foundation was applied and feathers were applied to her eyebrows.  Then black eyeshadow was applied to her lids, black liner, and false lashes.  A stencil of netting was used with an airbrush gun to apply the pattern to her skin.  Her lips we lined on the edges with black 24-7 eyeliner from Urban Decay and in the center filled in with bright orange lip liner to look like a beak.
The Finished Product
To see the other amazing creations from other stylist, you can watch this clip HERE, at 3:44 you can see Tanya.  I can't wait to show you more fun stuff.
Lots of Love,
Casie

The most awesome thing to happen in May so far is my dearest friend Nomi Abadi has a huge article in this month’s Rising Magazine.

She is so incredibly talented and has worked so hard to get where she is and it’s like everything is coming into fruition for her.  It is so awesome to be able to celebrate this with her.  I don’t get to see her as much as I would like to but we both share in the love of everything fun and different. 
Take a listen to Nomi’s new album Chase/No Running on iTunes or like her on Facebook. 
Lots of love,
