Devil Paint








Since Scarlett is busy updating her blog, with all of the shoots that she has not managed to get online yet, here are a couple of shots from the "devil" paint that we tried many weeks ago. Really simple really effective, but unbelievably difficult to get off again. Certain colours seem to stain the skin more than others - red and blue being very hard to remove. Hence the reason that Scarlett remained a little pink several showers after this one, and after the "Chaos" paint had blue knees... looking like a pissed off smurf.
But these are small difficulties, and for the most part it is actually immensely good fun being made to look totally different. Obviously the design for Austria will be much more elaborate than something like this, which is comparison is fairly quick to create - although the 50's pin-up accessories make for a really fabulous look. Plus it was a great excuse to break out the thigh high boots that she is very fond of!
Austria, as mentioned in an earlier post, is approaching pretty rapidly, and Scarlett is starting to get more than a little nervous. Tony - her trusty photographer is also pretty busy with work commitments for the next few weeks and so the next definate plan is for a trial run of some designs towards the end of June.
Updates, as ever, as soon as Scarlett is free.

Persephone






Scarlett was booked last weekend to do a shoot with a new photographer. A young guy by the name of inesperado. (He can be found at http://www.inesperado.co.uk/).

He is the middle of creating a series of images based on the Greek Gods, and asked Scarlett to be Perspehone. These are some of the images that he shot of Scarlett - mainly in her newest wig, which she is rather fond of.
Once again Scarlett has found another wig to play with meaning yet another image change. Its is becoming more and more apparent that not only does Scarlett's look change really quite dramatically when she alters her hair, but it even affects her personality, depending on the length, style and colour.

Specsavers Spectacle Wearer of the Year Competition.


After trying on some specs of a friend, Scarlett decided to embark on a glasses shoot - all the kind of saucy secretary look type of pictures. And then fate lent a hand, as ever, by sending her flatmate a flyer for the Specsavers Spectacle Wearer of the Year competition.

As someone who is supposed to wear glasses, Scarlett is eligable to enter. And has done so... With this little gem of a picture.

What do you think?

New Fans!!!!

Scarlett has new fans!











They are from http://www.ostrichesonline.com/, which is where a lot of world class burlesque performers buy their fans... and they are really really pretty... much lighter than you would imagine since they are huge, but really nice to work with..
Happy Scarlett....
Now all she has to do is learn to dance with them!

Hats, Wigs, Fascinators and more...

As ever Scarlett has been busy since her last post... things are always moving quickly. It is now less than 6 weeks until she is due to leave for Austria - and she is beginningt to get rather nervous. However, she has been shopping! Mostly buying fabulous bikinis - including a bright pink one, and a black one covered in Diamantes... some things never change!

But the rest of the prep is going well - and she has had several more photoshoots - some of which are below...

Scarlett is really quite fond of this hat... but only as a redhead. And she was really quite pleased to find a set of underwear that goes with it quite so well! Other people seem to find it slightly strange that she buys things that match her underwear... but it does make a change from her buying things that match her hair...














Yet another chance for Scarlett to show off her love of changing her look. They are obviously extentions, but you would be amazed at what she gets away with!














As for the wigs - it never stops surprising people just how different she looks. Something as simple as changing the colour of her hair makes Scarlett look like a different woman.
