FAT fashion show for IMAGOZINE magazine
Last night was a very tiring but very rewarding runway show for FAT, toronto’s alternative fashion week. I was helping out with makeup for IMAGOZINE an alternative fashion magazine out of Barrie, Ontario.
The show was amazingly crazy and I’m so happy I got to do some super out there makeup.
these are some straight from the runway. Check out my website in the next few weeks for some from the photoshoot backstage!
Website launch!
I just got finished with my website class and the final product was my website! Dont worry the blog will still be alive and well 🙂

Electric blue steampunk
Sasha Glitter is known for her electric blue hair, Tasha’s known for her amazing alternative styling, and Don’s known as a kick ass photographer. Put them together and you get a super awesome (not to mention super fun) shoot.

I got a chance to do another shoot with Godfrey and the talented Gabrielle.
They’re purdy.
6 BILLION degrees of separation
A bit ago I did hair and makeup for a title sequence a Ryerson group of students were doing for a show called 6 Billion Degrees of Separation.
It was all in front of green screen and they were filming their heads and bodies separately. It was one of those shoots where they explained the concept, but you really had to trust ’em on it. And it turned out so amazing! I was absolutely blown away by their post work.
Check it out and check out their other stuff. all good.

Auxiliary Magazine
hey kids! I got myself published!!
A shoot that I did with the amazing Tasha Ferrington, wardrobe stylist and super woman, just came out in the Feb/March issue of Auxiliary magazine.
Theres some amazing articles not to mention makeup, including an article about Tim Burton’s exhibit at the MoMA that just makes me want to go to NY.
The spread is called A Gaslight Romance. Very victorian steampunk inspired with some of the best Toronto based designers in it. I did makeup for Anna Kookie, the model on the right below. Emily Rosa of Glow Makeup did the amazing job on Bella Freer, the model on the left.
**as a side note: you might recognize a picture of a shoot I did for Monster Muffin earlier on in the issue advertising their store. Bonus!
