Vintage Looks: 1920’s style make up
As some of you probably already know, I love all things vintage, and as someone who makes and writes films, I think I have a tendency towards dressing up and the dramatic. I've always loved the 20's look, but being someone with curves, I find that the era is not so friendly to my body …
Coffee, Screenings and DVD Library at the Close Up Film Centre, London.
I'm kind of surprised that I'd never heard of this place before! I came across it one Saturday night in East London, after leaving a rather disappointing event early, and wandering along at a bit of a loose end on the way to get some sushi. The place has a calm, slightly academic atmosphere and …

Empress Comic Series by Millar and Immonen, #4 out tomorrow!
Mark Millar might be familiar to you as the creator of comic books that made into innovative films, like Kick Ass and Wanted. It's how I came across him as an adult reader of comics. (As I child I loved Caspar and Wendy, and Phantom, which was about all I could get my hands on). …

The Daniel Sandler Interview: Makeup Artist and Creator of the Daniel Sandler Makeup Range.
I first came across Daniel Sandler's products when I picked up a blue eyeliner from his range, for something fun and Summer-y.
