Power to the Hair and make up team
So on working out where to start with this jumble of memories, and looking through my pics, the Hair and Make up team ( Rod and I respectively) were, and still are, the most powerful team anyone in fame, public notary or just anyone with an innate sense of fabulousness, needs to appreciate. The power of presentation – on how the world see’s your face whether or not your outfit is understated or glamourous…..So basically don’t under pay us, bring any diva attitudes and kiss my feet and praise my talent when ive completed the artistry on your face and hair style. Rod and I used to drive our friends insane – part of the whole going out process was to spend hours, and I mean hours getting ready. We would constantly do facials, manicure, steam baths, hair treatments and would gladly not leave to go out some nights until 2am in the morning having started getting ready in the afternoon. Rodney was amazing with his hairdressing skills and what he could find arround the house to pin-up, slick back or make hold on crazy hair styles – sometimes just held together with a paper clip. There was no rush, the process of him and I doing ‘beauty’ while drinking tea from his blue and white china tea set left us not only looking great, feeling relaxed, and by the time we would make a grand entrance to the clubs, well, everyone else would be sweaty, with mascara running, hair frizzing and no matter how gorgeous they may have been, were never looking as fresh as we did. It just further created this Loose Dolly entrance every night with new make up and hair styles (I wont go into costumes yet!) that meant we had the crowd’s attention. I was make up – and Rod was hair – and he could make me look different every night. When a girl has great hair you can see why Loose Dolly started to take over….God i miss my long blonde hair looking at these pics, and living with a highly talented hair stylist
