Backstage Omikron

Hitting the streets tomorrow is the latest issue of Omikron magazine, featuring a cover story we shot of the actress Elia Ioannidou. It was nice to do a pretty shoot with some of the new spring collections. oh so bright! oh so floral! oh so not my style! but oh well, it can't all be vomgirl related ey?

I think it's been rather a long while since I've done a photo-shoot related post, so here we go. This serves mainly to remind you that I actually do work and don't just spend my time jet-setting to far-flung places and being generally amazeballs. A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting the actor Marios Demetriou for the upcoming issue of Omikron Magazine. It was a fun shoot as we got to be really random and outlandish and not the usual pretty/styley/perfect/posey. I had two lovely friends helping me out as extra's, and they got into character so well, as did Marios who took to his villainous role with exceptional ease. I was also blown away by my make up artist of the day, Crystal Michael, who I had the pleasure of working with for the first time. She really brought the characters to life and complemented the styling perfectly. Also, I found a giraffe. So that was cool too. 

Hope you enjoy the pics and check out the full shoot in the next Omikron

Sorry for being somewhat of a slack-alice lately, got caught up in wedding-ing, weekend shenanigans and whatnot. But you know, I have to experience things in order to be able to have some sort of excitement to write about, no?
The main highlight of late was being the maid of honour for my lovely ladyfriend Tania. I am no good with churches and priests, and weddings and tears... I'm good at the drinking and dancing portion of the evening so I did ok then... but I was a bit of a nervous mess until the booze started flowing. Especially as I had many awkwardly hilarious tasks to perform that I was unawares of... like dancing round the bride to a room full of people. Yeah I looked like a tit. But it was awesome. I also managed to behave somewhat normalsaucely in the church, which took a great deal of restraint on my part, especially when I was forced to embellish the truth about being baptised to the priest (I thought the church would burst into flames). But all went relatively dramz free, which was awesome. And the party was great- dancing round barefoot like a little child is always fun.

The happy couple and parents!

The rest of the weekend was sun-filled and fancy-free, my tan is getting pretty epic already considering it is only May (biggest benefit of living on a sunny island)  

Roof tanning madness

Little ladybird friend that attacked me on the beach!

That would be my posey suntan face. 

And as I haven't actually uploaded many of my finished shoots, but rather just silly behind the scenes shots, here are some of my latest Cosmopolitan editorials -

Cosmopolitan March issue. Photographer- Panagiotis Mina, Styling- Shona Muir. Hair- Marios Neofytou Make up- Ilona Garamvolgyi Model- Janna (Ace Models Greece)

So there you have it, all the running around and organising and sillyness on shoot days all culminates in this- Pretty cool no?

Peace&Love&BadAssStyle!

eeek! hello bunnies!

I trust everyone is having a debauched and spectacularly Vom-filled Carnival weekend?? I couldn't decide what to dress up as, I just didn't think anything could top the amazeballs Lady Gaga skeleton outfit at Halloween, and I simply couldn't bear to underwhelm my plethora of fans with a sub-parr costume - so I thought it best if I left the country.

So here I am in lovely Beirizzle, visiting my hard-working papa, watching Six Nations rugby, eating Manouches, and raiding h&m. I really like disappearing from Cyprus every now and again, I think it is very helpful to ones sanity, plus it gives me a bit of time to miss things and people, and it makes me really appreciative of how super awesomesauce my life is in Nicosia.

I'll stop with all the squish-squishness now, suffice it to say, I'm a pretty happy bunny overall.

Here are some pictures from an awesome Cosmopolitan editorial we just did, it should be out soon, and it is all COLOURS! and PATTERNS! and CLASHING PRINTS! and all sorts of very HIP TRENDS of the moment. Hurrah!

                These are some of my patterns and whatnot...and shoes and accessories...

                        Some awesome hair and make-up courtesy of Ilona and Monkey

Obvz, while everyone else is hard at work, Pan stuffs his face (and has clearly influenced Minnie too)

 Eventually, we start working (including Minnie (she shows the models how to pose))

 There is a bit of Monkey roomie love going on behind the scenes.

Someone is clealy eager to get home after a tiring day at work.
 

Peace&Love&ShishTawouk
