Glamourama Ding Dong's FIRST POP UP SALON!!

Ive been meaning to do this for a while, set up a stall at a vintage fair and do hair and make up there.. so when the opportunity arose to do just that ON MY BLEEDIN DOORSTEP ,  I jumped at the chance to book a spot !
Its a new Flea Market / Vintage event in Chorlton, called FLEASY STREET  and they have some fantastic people lined up to take part ... Lomography ( those old Russian style cameras that have such a cult following right now ) , Oxfam Originals for your vintage threads , Some bicycle people and much more - check the Fleasy Street page on Facebook for all the details https://www.facebook.com/FleasyStreet?ref=ts
 I'm most excited about the Lomography crew being there, so after people have come to me for some vintage glamouring, they can go and have an authentic retro photo taken, AND wait for the prints to be developed , like we had to in the olden days, and you just dont know what effect you are gonna end up with on a Lomo print - thats the beauty of it - its so unpredictable. You can predict preset retro effects on apps like Instagram , but Lomo keeps it real, AND the cameras all look like spy cameras from the 1960s!
Anyway - GLAMOURAMA Pop up Salon, thats me - will be offering various styles of hairdoos from bygone eras eg Victory Rolls, fake Betty Bangs etc ... not cutting or wet setting - just dry styling techniques for speed, and make up from those eras too - you can either choose to have a full face of make up, or just one or two small additions to your own make up eg perfect flicked eyeliner and false lashes, or a perfect pout. AND I'll also bring some Brylcreem and pomade for the boys.

I've joined a team !!!!!  Not Team GB, but Team Kitty Wink ;)

Alice has kindly asked me to be one of the make up and hair stylists in her team at larger group events such as this one at Rose and Lee Vintage in North Manchester on 6th October. I will also be joining the team at further events TBC . Alice totally lives the vintage life and is a very talented make up and hair stylist and businesswoman - She has been responsible for a lot of the really productive networking between vintage enthusiasts in the North West via her Facebook group and regular group meetings. You may recognize her as one of my models on a vintage makeover at http://www.altstudiouk.com/ I gave Alice a 1920's vamp look, which she rocked to perfection. Also in the team is Simon Hunt, my ' boss ' from Alt.Studio, who creates the most fabulous Vintage styled  photos and makes all his clients feel like Glamour Queens :)

Vintage Network / Kitty Wink video

http://vimeo.com/45035329

here is a video that a director called Wayne Avanson made for a fellow vintage hair and make up lady, Alice Kitty Wink - It a profile about her business and the Vintage Network up here in the North West. Ive posted it here because the sepia toned stills of Alice on the titles and end credits are photos that you may recognise.. I did the make up on Alice for those shots, at Alt Studio with photographer Simon Hunt , and it was a pleasure to do, and it enabled me to meet Alice and join the Vintage Network. I really like how the images have been portrayed in the film.
