I dream of Donna...
The only reason I wore blue eyeshadow yesterday was because I came across this picture of Donna Jordan by chance. I've got a drawer full of pages I've torn out of magazines from the last twenty years or so which I couldn't part with when it came to chucking out the magazines themselves.
I love models who have an extreme style because it goes against the whole idea of them as some kind of passive blank canvas. Donna Jordan was a beautiful freak who hung out with Yves Saint Laurent and his entourage in Paris in the 70's, was the muse of Antonio Lopez, bleached her hair and eyebrows and is probably my favourite model EVAH!!!
Loathe as I am to put a picture of myself anywhere near hers, this is just to prove the point. I mean, I wasn't trying to emulate, in order to do that I'd be bleaching my eyebrows (was tempted....didn't have time!) and carrying the blue right up to the brow....but I just love Donna Jordan. Wanted to share that.

not wanting to appear like a complete blog comment stalker - considering it making up for time not spent actually posting on here - but i keep saying the time you did bleach your eyebrows i really liked it AND i think you should do it again.
You know what...I've been thinking that the last couple of days!!!! I really wanted to do it that night but there wasn't enough time! The drawbacks are:
1. As you know, my forehead already gives Kembra Pfahler a run for her money....although I can of course always draw them in again when I want them, my eyes to hairline probably takes up 50% of my face!!!
2. Nathaniel's been experimenting with his eyebrows
....and I wouldn't want him to think I was mopping his look!!!
3. Even Jonjo's been on the eyebrow bleach!
....however, I think I'm going to give it another go!!!! Thanks for your comment!!!!!!!!!!
well lets rewind to how many years ago it was you did your eyebrows and who is mopping who? YGM?!
