Pinkie Pie

I've been growing out my blue hair for about 18 months which has progressed from a full head of luscious mermaid hair to a grown out natural colour with blue ends, kind of the opposite of dip dying. My natural hair came through & it turns out that after years of colouring my hair, I now have natural brown hair compared to the fair mousy blond that used to be there. I am also quite impressed to report that at the grand age of 40, I still have no grey hair! Whoop! I'm winning!

What are you gonna do with your hair next?? I hear this on a daily bases. People got so used to me changing my hair that they became quite confused when I grew out my crazy colour and just let things grow naturally, with no bleach or colours. I was enjoying this new found 'I'm just letting it grow out' answer, I also like to keep people on their toes. Whilst they are trying to guess my next hair style, I actually don't have a clue what I'm going to do with my hair next, it just kinda happens. There is never a plan......

How did I get to the decision of a pink fringe with a natural bob and then a hidden undercut with a tramline style pattern shaved in?? I have no idea but it happened like this......
I chose loads of images on pinterest ranging from very short and shaved bowl cuts, bobs, coloured fringes on long hair and a few undercuts chucked in. I knew I wanted a big change but I still wanted to be able to put my hair up, so the very short hair styles were substituted for the undercut. I needed to get rid of my frazzled bleached ends (the last of my grown out blue) and I had planned to colour my fringe a while back so this was deffo on the cards. I chose pink for the fringe and my great hair stylist buddy (who would like to remain nameless, lets just call her VM ) chose which pink, I let her make these types of decisions as, a) she has good taste b) I trust her &
c) I'm either being lazy or indecisive....VM then pulled the top of my hair up into a topknot to see how short we could go leaving enough hair for an updo then she shaved the undercut in and cut the hair (what will become the bob cut) to the shortest possible length. The pink went on after the bleach and the tramlines were just something VM added for fun. Voila! New hair! I proper love it!! It's still really versatile so I can style it up No Debutante stylee, here's a few styles I've tried out so far, there will be plenty more where these came from for sure! Thanks VM!!

Hoochie Coochie Costumes 2009-2012

On Saturday night I was DJing as part of the Bang DJs for the Hoochie Coochie Circus Child Ball in a brilliant Big Top in the centre of Bristol UK. Bang have been DJing for the Hoochie Coochie for the past three years at various places and spaces including The Big Chill Festival in 2010. The Bang DJs are no strangers to a Big Top venue and Saturday night was the 4th time we have DJ'd in one....dressed as The Bang clowns......We prefer to see it as Art rock or performance art rather than 30 somethings dressing up in fancy dress! Ahem....

Before I edit all the images from Saturday nights Hoochie Coochie show, I'd like to show you some of the wierd and the wonderful outfits that we have worn as The Bang DJs for Hoochie Coochie.

Find out more about the Bang DJs here http://www.facebook.com/bangbristol?ref=hl and for Hoochie Coochie here http://www.hoochiecoochiekabaret.com/

The top images are the infamous Hoochie Coochie clowns that started life as a copy of a Harajuku Girls outfit spotted in Japan on our honeymoon back in 2009. I needed a reason to wear such an outfit and the Hoochie Coochie gave me the excuse. I excitedly knocked these outfits up for me and Phil and a year later I had to make another for the third Bang DJ,  my brother Mike. The clowns were very popular with the Hoochie Coochie creator and host Keda Breeze, who requested we wear them for our performances with the Hoochie Coochie Kaberet at the Big Chill Festival!! Since then we can't seem to shake the clown suits and we wore them again on Saturday (pics to come shortly).

Other outfits are inspired by the theme given for each Hoochie event including Gold (third pic) performing poodle (forth pic) Wild animals (fifth pic), glamourous zombies and bearded ladies (sixth pic) and Alice in Wonderland - Mike and I decided to go as Tweedle dum and Tweedle dee - the indie version (last images). Check out the Invisible Circus photobooth photograph, this was such fun, it was pure luck that my friends and I had managed to come as different characters from Alice in Wonderland, we randomly picked up the Queen of Hearts who was one of the roaming performers on the night. I love it when things work out like that!

 

Clownsuits, my gold outfit and big pink fur poodle coat (very Meadham Kirchhoff I reckon) all handmade by me. I seriously need to get the sewing machine out soon!! Hoochie Coochie Cricus Child Ball images to follow over the next few weeks. NDxx
