Sam Haskins, Cowboy Kate and other stories, 1960s makeup

The Sam Haskins Effect

July 9, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

This is one of my favourite Vogue shoots from 1996. Shot by Nick Knight and featuring (I am sure) Jodie Kidd, these black and white misty shots are really reminiscent of Sam Haskins 1960’s photography. I didn’t really get into Sam Haskins’ photography until one of his images appeared on The Last Shadow Puppet’s album, The Age of the Understatement. I then managed to get hold of the director’s cut of Cowboy Kate and other stories, and just fell in […]

Between The Sheets At The Chelsea

June 29, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, You were talking so brave and so free. Giving me head on an unmade bed While the limousines wait in the street And those were the reasons and that was New York, (Leonard Cohen) This was one crazy hotel! Penned by Leonard Cohen, lived in by a host of creative types from Andy Warhol and Arthur Miller (after his divorce from Marilyn), to Quentin Crisp, Jackson Pollock and Janis Joplin. In this […]

Pattie Boyd vs Edie Campbell

June 27, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Lisa Eldridge, the lady behind Marilyn’s Makeup Secrets, did a fantastic shoot for Lula Magazine with Edie Campbell, recreating a 1960’s “How to..” beauty feature with Pattie Boyd. Lisa writes in her blog: Gorgeous Edie Campbell was just perfect for this shoot. As well as bearing a resemblance to Pattie, her face takes 60’s make-up so damn well! Lula has always been one of my favourite magazines as I just love everything about it. Its SO girly and beautiful and […]

Diane Von Furstenberg and the 1940’s Twist

June 3, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

It’s been a busy week. Back from Seville and straight to a wedding on Saturday. Not any ordinary wedding, you understand. In true Jubilee spirit, one of my best friend’s married her childhood sweetheart at the Guard’s Chapel, off St James’ Park. If you know London, you’ll understand that it’s just a few metres away from Buckingham Palace, and therefore in the midst of Jubilee festivities. You can just imagine the atmosphere, particularly with the bride arriving in a horse-drawn […]

Marilyn Monroe, Whitey Snyder, private collection

Marilyn’s Makeup Secrets – Part 1 The Private Collection

May 23, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I’ve always been slightly obsessed with Marilyn’s makeup. She was no chameleon – she was the champion of her own look. Honed for years under the guidance of a man called “Whitey”. “You don’t just wake up in the morning and wash your face and comb your hair and go out in the street and look like Marilyn Monroe. She knows every trick of the beauty trade”. Milton Greene “Whitey” Snyder started to do Marilyn’s makeup in 1948, for her […]

The Original Action Man

May 17, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

First things first, I was actually going to leave posting for the rest of the week, as the show is on Friday and I’m in rehearsals most days. However, a cheery blog called We Heart Vintage, posted this picture of the King of Cool, Steve McQueen, and whilst I don’t normally do “vintage men” or in this case, eye candy – this picture did make me smile. It also reminded of a great post that the Selvedge Yard did – and […]

Wallpaper frames “The Shrimp”

April 23, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

A few weeks back I went to a launch of a wonderful collection of new wallpapers and fabrics by Scion. One of the sets they had arranged had this gorgeous retro orange wallpaper – which would make a show stopping feature wall. So I thought why not browse a little selection of some retro, vintage inspired feature walls – with a little help from The Shrimp!
