TARA HAIR POLICE.....

THE 2013 MET GALA BALL IS UNDER WRAPS AND THIS YEAR DIDN'T DISAPPOINT..
HOWEVER....  WITH THIS YEARS "PUNK THEME"  THE GALA BRINGS TO US THE BEST.... AND NOT TO BE LET DOWN, THE WORST STYLED IN CELEBRITY HAUTE COUTURE... HERE'S MY TOPS FOR BEST & WORST HAIR AND FASHION

                                                                BEST

 



NOW FOR THE FUN  
WORST














OK...THIS WAS ALMOST TOO EASY. THERE WERE FAR MORE MISSES THAN HITS
THIS YEAR
TOO BAD
I ACTUALLY HAD TO LIMIT MYSELF ON THE "WORST" LIST
HAVING GROWN UP IN THE 80'S AND WATCHING THE PUNK ERA TRANSFORM
INTO MANY SUB-STYLES I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED ALOT MORE FROM THESE FASHIONISTAS
ITS WAS ALMOST AS IF THE "PUNK" THEME FOR THIS YEAR WENT OVER EVERONES HEAD...WAS EITHER TOO "OUT OF THE BOX" FOR WOMEN IN THE PUBLIC EYE, OR "PUNK"WAS MISCONSTRUED AS HALLOWEEN??
WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT
MY PICKS

OMBRE'..... YOU SAY'

WE ALL KNOW THE WHOLE "OMBRE'" CONCEPT IS NOTHING RECENT BUT I PERSONALLY AM STILL HAVING FUN PLAYING WITH IT

OMBRE'  A French term meaning "shaded." Usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from light to dark. The color effect is woven into the fabric. Generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp

WELL THIS SAME CONCEPT IS BEING APPLIED TO HAIR
ITS EVERYWHERE YES AND WHILE SOME OF THESE HAIR TRENDS CAN APPEAR A LITTLE LIKE GROUNDHOG DAY...OVER N OVER, NEVER TO END ...THIS TECHNIQUE HAS NOT DONE THAT TO ME YET...............IT IS SO VERSATILE AND CAN REALLY BE PERSONALISED... ONE CAN REALLY STEP "OUTA THE BOX" WHEN PLAYING WITH COLOR
GOTTA LOVE YOUR GUESTS WHO THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND AND JUST GO FOR IT....HERES MY RECENT RENDITION OF OMBRE'
SO..WITHOUT FURTHER ADU' I GIVE YOU JODEY.....

IN THE BRIGHT SUNNY DAYLIGHT 

 THANKS JODEY :)

YEP...NOT ONLY IS IT A NEW COLOUR" IT IS THE NAME OF THE NEW  DAVINES COLOUR LINE FROM ITALY

AND TO BOOT......(NOTE TO SELF-FIND OUT IF THAT SAYING ACTUALLY HAS RELEVANT MEANING)
