Calendar Girls

New Year, new calendar. That's usually how it works. Although I haven't actually had a calendar for god knows how long, 

But this year I have a very good reason to buy one. I have never been more excited by one before.

My yearly planner wasn't coming from any old shop, it was coming directly from a bunch of people I had worked hard with over one Sunday afternoon back in September. It was all shot in Sainsburys and everyone was fantastic. So of course, when hanging it in between Marilyn & her framed friends I did feel proud. 

I've selected a handful of my favourite hairstyles I created that morning. 

Miss February with plenty of Victory rolls & a Boo Boo Kitty Headscarf.

The whole team.

Miss May with a bumper faux bang.

Miss July with a glamorous set & Miss November with a curly 1920s faux bob.

Backstage shot. I was definitely in the 'zone' at this moment. Inbetween hairsprays, I was able to find out a little more about the First Steps Charity. They offer support to people of all ages with any type of eating difficulty or disorder and most of the models were volunteers from the Charity!

My most recent escapades...

For those who don't know what I do when I'm not posing in my Vintage finery or snapping cute photos of my dog, I work at Bella Me. A specialised Vintage Salon, run by a Lady who has the same love for Vintage Hairstyling as me. It's an amazing job, sometimes it doesn't really feel like work at all and working with like minded people is always so refreshing. Lately we have been run off our peep-toes, attending a number of events we have been invited to, all vintage ones of course. The photo above was taken at a Vintage evening hosted by Eden Bea, selling sparkles of all descriptions all set in a glorious Art Deco pub, with original décor remaining throughout!

A quick snap with burly Rose-Desire and the fabulous lady behind Boo Boo Kitty Couture.

Another event we were styling folks hair at, held at the Black Cherry Lounge in Nottingham. I made sure I was all seamed up, Dita style for the event and we managed to catch all of the show. The line-up was fantastic- Missy Malone, Ivy Wilde and Flixx Demontrant, a bouylesque-r. I've never seen boylesque, but boy, it was good!! 

This morning snap was taken by our local weather girl. Trailing my jubilee hair arrangement, Lucy Kite was so impressed, I was invited into her sweet little garden so she could pap me. I was more than happy about the whole affair, this lady happens to have THE most beautiful cottage in the village. 

I got the photos back from Bella Me's first photoshoot for our April advertising. Yours truly was an Easter bunny for the day! Although it was suprisingly tiring, I enjoyed being in the studio and am making an effort to get more modelling work.....infact I'm off to a Vintage shoot with Apple Pie Photography as soon as I finish typing!

Sunday Swirls.

A few Sunday mornings ago I was enlisted to create curls on girls for a Bridal Shoot to launch Rei-Bennett's new Wedding Packages. I was working with Rei herself and MUA, Ms Moo.

I had a lovely morning, talking about pizza, whilst I set to work on Miriam and Holly's long, long beautiful hair. I've never had so much to work with, there were swirls galore!

My favourite photograph of the shoot. Well done girls!

   Love as always, Lucille xx.
