A Interveiw With Dita Von Teese

 

A Email Interview With The Glamorous

 Dita Von Teese



 

What are your Go-to hair products?

 I can't live without my hot rollers and my Mason Pearson boar-bristle brush.

What's your favorite foundation (makeup brand)?

I love L'Oreal True Match N1 and Dior Capture Totale foundation. 

What's your favorite beauty ritual?

I love the process of getting myself ready backstage before a show. I always do it myself, I love the process, the transformation, and having that time alone to think through my show.

 

What sort of advise would you tell someone if they first started dressing vintage , and they might be a little hesitant?

Dressing vintage is a great way to look chic on a budget. It's the reason I started dressing vintage...I couldn't afford designer clothes. Looking at magazines can be a great way to see what kinds of references are taken from vintage. Many of the world's  best designers visit the same vintage shops I go to and they get inspiration from what they see, and even bring cameras and sketch books to take notes. 

 

 

Who was your biggest style star from the 40's and 50's?

I always liked 1940s era technicolor musicals. Any film with Betty Grable and/or Carmen Miranda is full of sumptuous, glorious beauty, clothes and pure glamour! I would certainly count Betty Grable at the top of my list for beauty icons! 

 

Thanks soo much answering my questions!!

I Love My Job!!!

Recently my little town had a fashion week. One of the looks was the 1950's ( I was soo excited that they choose that for one of the looks..soo of course mio' had the 1950's look!!) ! My work ended up in the newspaper!!! Which i have to get a picture of it to post it very soon!!



My town also celebrated a local fashion designer from the 50's Clarie McCardell , it was fabulous to look at her designs and ads!! No to mention her fab clothes!!!!

I wanted to show you a one of my "Masterpieces" in hair! This lovely lady wanted a 1950's look with a rockabilly twist!! So I did long layers and a cute 50's fringe. Then for color , I did 2 foils of lightener for a blonde piece in her fringe. Then I colored her hair in a rich Natural Red. This is how it looks!!

I was very pleased with the color and cut!!!

Doesn't she look absolutely Fab!!!

What was your favorite cut and color someone did on you??!

Please share!!

Veronica Lake Siren 1940's Waves (5 minutes!!!)

Hello Vintage Lovers!!

This Hair How to is for all you vintage vixens..and even silent era lovers hair how to!!! Its SO easy to recreate!!! This wave goes great in any era thru the 20's to early 60's!!!

What you need:

*(Your hair to be in some what of a set or curled with the curling iron)

2) Duck Bill Clips

3) A Rat tail Comb

4) Mega hold hair spray



1) You can either curl your hair with the iron or even a set ..or if you can still use this on your 2 day set.





**A Rat tail comb, hair spray, & duck bill clips***





2)Comb out your set. Dont be afraid to comb your hair!!!





3)Part your hair in a deep side part and comb your hair back 1-2 inches away from the part.





4)Clip it with a duck bill Clip





5)Then comb your hair toward your face.





6)Make sure your getting somewhat of a Backwards S Shape





7)Clip your hair like so.





8) The for the rest of the hair brush your hair back again. Clip it in the middle of the ear or just below it.





9) It should look like this ..( you can also make tighter waves!) I prefer to do the looser waves.
The Hair spray where you clipped at. ( Don't be afraid to give your hair a good spray with it!!) Hair spray is the key to this look!





10) Then Take the clips out!! Easy as that!!!
Finished look!!!
 I wear this hair style alot ... And it lasts me from 6 am to 7pm until I brush my hair!!!





****Be glamorous add a little something sparkle in your hair for a special occasion!!! ****
