Anna May Wong

"I'm Anna May Wong. I come from old Hong Kong. But now I'm a Hollywood star."
~ Anna May Wong

Not everyone knows of Anna May Wong, but they should!

"Wong's image and career have left a lasting legacy. Through her films, public appearances, and prominent magazine features, she helped to "humanize" Asian-Americans to white audiences during a period of overt racism and discrimination. Asian-Americans, especially the Chinese, had been viewed as perpetually foreign in U.S. society, but Wong's films and public image established her firmly as an Asian-American citizen at a time when laws specifically discriminated against Asian immigration and citizenship. Wong's hybrid image dispelled contemporary notions that the East and West were inherently different."

"Every time your picture is taken, you lose a part of your soul."
~Anna May Wong

Behind the scenes at yesterdays submission for Suhaag!

Din my P.R. Saviour/Junior stylist






So I will do my very best to give enough background for this make sense while sticking to the point!


I was contracted to do wardrobe styling for a shoot for dubmission to Suhaag bridal:


http://www.suhaag.com/


Initially the photographer wanted me to just provide some modern vintage bridal looks, cool.


Then he decided he wanted me to source in designer Indian bridal, not cool/impossible to do with only 2 weeks during bridal season!


I ran around like a chicken with my friggin head cutoff trying to source in the traditional Indian bridal but no Banana!
So I ended up just doing the Western look, cool by me.


I had THE BEST MODEL I HAVE WORKED WITH TO DATE! Nayia...what a perfect little dream! Ever met a cool model, who is intelligent, easy to work with, great in front of the camera, and has no ego? Well up to yesterday my answer would have been a big-sad-sorry "No" but this little lady changed all that!


So I have a few behind the scenes shots up, all the clothing and accessories head to toe are from my personal/private inhouse vintage collection (I do sell these items from time to time but mostly I keep them on hand for my clients and shoots).


When I get the actual shots I will post them.


Till then as always...


Lots of love,


Cat

Joan Baez

"You may not know it, but at the far end of despair, there is a white clearing where one is almost happy." ~ Joan Baez


Joan Baez was by no means the most classic beauty but she was an understated peace loving bard with a simple dreamy charm.

Photoshoot

Got back some photos from a shoot (did I mention modelling makes me sick?) Anywho I needed an arty head shot-ish so I bit the bullet. These were my faves (I am avoiding body shots like one would avoid the 'black-death' so I pretty much laughed all those away) They are still pre-edit but which one do you like best?



I think they turned out pretty good. I did my own makeup for the shoot and I like it!


Lots of love,
Cat

Shop Socials Shopping After Dark at Seraphic

So yesterday Shop Socials hosted a shopping after dark event at Seraphic:

http://www.shopsocials.com/



It was lush, intimate and very chic!

A $10 cover got you in the door. Inside there were tasty treats (that were cuter than buttons) shaped into snazzy little purses and posh little heels.



I took my P.R. Princess Claudine who quickly found a very fun and sassy pair of black lace leggings that she got to try on while sipping her cocktail!



The face behind Shop Socials is the ever lovely Tamika who is always on point! I am still trying to figure out how to dress my post pregnancy body and I am still crossing my fingers that I will not have to deal with said body for much longer!!!

There were incredible deals to be had for the participants of this private event and the clothes were very cute!!



The best part was the SWAG!!!!!! All these posh goodies and discounts *swoon* The Calvin Klein Nude Thongs alone retail for $20.00:




This was the cookie I brought home for my little cookie who LOVED it and waltzed about the house with black icing lips (very neo-goth of her)!






I also met the very lovely and composed Tamara Glick of Trade Mark Image Consulting who I would without hesitation trust with the construction of my personal or corporate persona:

http://www.trademarkimage.ca/

Her style was truly enviable and she was a great conversationalist and a good listener. Anyone else notice that good listeners are few and far between these days?

All in all it was a fab night!

Shop Socials next event is on May 20th and although I will not be able to make it that is no reason why any other lady in the G.T.A should miss it LOL

It was nice to venture back into the real world (being a new mom can be a bit of an exercise in isolation) and to meet and mingle with other women who are willing to do it for themselves.

Simply inspirational!

Lots of love,

Cat

I cut and dyed my own hair!

So I am tres tres nouveau-cheap. I wanted bangs and decided that I could do it myself!

God bless youtube they have a tutorial on everything. I found one on 'how to cut your own bangs' and decided to give it a go!

Here is the result:



Not bad if I do say so myself!
