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.
