Costume National


1 October. Carrousel du Louvre

Nice and early in the day, we head off to one of the "bathrooms" in the Carrousel. It's always funny go through all the tourists that stare at us with all our suitcases, with question marks on their faces. I set up in one of the corners to find out that i won't be needing my ITouch for music since the hairdressers are in charge of that. Amy Winehouse, New Order, Kate Bush... fucking hell, the man is the best!

The models were all coming from other shows so we had to wait and prepare ourselves for the final rush. Thank God for the great catering (carpacio, tiramisu, panna cota) and a very nice security guy that let us smoke in the fire escape stairs. To one of my visits to have a smoke, I peaked at the Ungaro show happening next door. Clothes were very spring chic but the music... oh, the music. A remix of the new Grace Jones song "This is Life". The diva is coming back and with a vengeance!!! For some reason, everything during this week is ending up in Grace Jones. Should be a sign of some sorts.



The make up was pretty straight forward but working to a tee for the collection. A mix of sober coordinates with a rock and roll twist. Nothing very risky but very wearable.

A nice grey shadow on the eyes nicely placed to mimic a natural shadow, to give it the rock and roll, smokey eye twist but not going over board. Sheer matted skin and paled out lips and voilá!



Nothing memorable but still good! The best of it all was my time with one of the models. I just love her! She's fun and intelligent and we had a nice "up the bum" chat. Just sharing tips and tricks on taking it up the arse. We do get along!!

Grace Jones is making a come back (a la Cindy Lauper).... need to check it out.

is that piercing that's on her mouth? And what's with the tongue action all together? Was she hitting on you?
