I Stole Your Soul For This

On Saturday my brother took me to see The Blue Hit headline at Momo’s. Great show. Check them out if you’re into folksy music. Their ‘War Like Boys’ song is my favorite.

Santa Rampage 2010

Saturday night hundreds (and hundreds) of Santas (and reindeer, and elves, and snowmen, and fruitcakes…) descended on downtown Austin for the annual Santa Rampage. It was, as you can see, awesome:

Halloween

Amy was inspired by GoldieStarling‘s brilliant Halloween Tutorial and I’d say she executed it really well…in fact, TOO WELL…I’m pretty certain it crossed the line from ‘entertaining-costume’ to ‘unacceptably-creepy-and-I’ll-probably-have-trouble-sleeping-in-that-bed-ever-again.’ I included a pic at the end to show what she usually looks like so you can see how extreme the costume/makeup is. :)

London vs Texas Rollergirls – A Fistful of Rollers

On March 20th 2010 the Hustlers of the Texas Rollergirls traveled to London to play the London Brawling London Rollergirls team in the A Fistful of Rollers bout. It was an intense match and incredibly close (tied at several points throughout most of the bout) with the Hustlers finally pulling ahead to win 84-63.

In addition to the bout, the Texas Rollergirls hosted a roller derby bootcamp where they trained 175 participants. On their travel blog they added, “We loved their enthusiasm and watch out America–Europe has some amazing skaters and they’re going to be gunning for us all someday in the near future…”

Roller Derby is getting big in the UK and many other parts of the world and received a huge boost in attention from the release of the movie Whip It, based on Shauna Cross’ Derby Girl, starring Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page, about Texas Roller Derby.

As a photographer originally from Austin Texas (where I’m proud to say I was a Texas Rollergirls fan!) that now lives in London (where I’m proud to say I’m a London Rollergirls fan!), I want to thank both teams for coordinating a matchup I could previously only dream of and congratulate both teams for a well played bout!

More Photos from IMATS

After getting so many new visitors this week from the IMATS-related posts over at Everything London, British Beauty Blogger, Pixiwoo, Julia Petit, Vex in the City, Mizz Worthy and the BBC, I went back and edited more from the event to post this second batch of photos. A number of people asked if I got any pictures on Sunday but sadly Amy and I only went on Saturday. Cosmetic-Candy has a lot of photos from Sunday on Flickr.

International Makeup-Artist Trade Show London (IMATS)

Amy and I spent all day Saturday at the International Makeup-Artist Trade Show in London (in a palace!!). The following are just a few of the pretty shiny things we saw throughout the day. Most of these, by the way, were created as entries for the student competition, which was definitely the highlight of the event. (UPDATE: I’ve posted additional photos from the event here)

Playing Dress Up

Behold, this is what happens when Amy and I collide our respective obsessions (make-up and photography) together! She’s only recently started consuming all the online make-up tutorials she can find but I’d say she’s already doing some fine work.
