Wednesday January 27th, 2010 21:14 Haute Couture Fashion Week: Victory rolls

I was meant to be looking at the couture fashion week photos to admire the clothes, but instead, I found myself loving the hair. Now this is what you call a victory roll!

EXCLUSIVE. French Designer Eric Tibusch works on his new collection in Paris

Above is at Eric Tibusch, but a couple of days earlier at Chanel, it was the same story and then some

Chanel's Spring-Summer 2010 Haute-Couture fashion show - Paris

It’s kind of Varga girl meets Lily Munster. With BOWS. I love it.

Tuesday June 9th, 2009 21:50 A pin-up hair mini fail

Last night I was supposed to go to a burlesque class with the lovely Zara. Unfortunately, I’ve come down with a weird cold / cough bug that’s rendered me grumpy and sofa-ridden when I should have been prancing about with a feather boa.

So in an attempt to cheer myself up late last night, I attempted my own little burlesque / pin-up girl homage in the privacy of my own bathroom. I never really wear my hair up, and you can probably see why. These are the kind of ridiculous photos that will a) come back to haunt me in a few years time and b) not be possible when I move in with the boy later this Summer. So enjoy while you can!

I’d like to tell you how I did the hair, but I really can’t. It’s neat in the front, but at the back there’s all kinds of partying going on. It involved masses of dry shampoo, a lot of kirby grips and a dozen of those annoying metal sectioning clips that either slide out or get ridiculously tangled up. I really don’t know how Bernie Dexter does it.
