First the beauty shop, where magic is wrought—

LUCILLE BALL has a date with romance. But will romance nod and pass her by? Not if Mel Berns, maestro of make-up at RKO Studios, has a deft hand in the matter!

Demanding to be made irresistible just for tonight, Lucille offers as her contributions to beauty a flawless skin, lustrous gold hair and large blue eyes. Mel Berns offers an artistry in make-up that has changed many a merely attractive girl into a vision of enchantment. His magic is wrought not with mirrors, in the Hollywood tradition, but with brushes.

There’s nothing like a good foundation for either romance or beauty and Lucille’s face is first treated to a layer of foundation cream (1) lightly applied.

Eyebrows take form, penciled in with a series of short light strokes (not the single shiny line with which so many err) and extended gracefully at the ends. Berns does the penciling but Lucille offers this bit of wisdom, “Never pencil the brows in a down curve at the corners. It makes the face appear to droop.”

Eyeshadow is applied with a brush (2) and blended out to nothingness near the brows with patting movements of the thumb. “A shadow always recedes that part of the face to which it is applied,” Bern explains, “therefore the lid is shaded to bring the eye forward.” [Continued on page 75]

A Date With Romance

The Beauty Shop

[Continued from page 46]

In the outer corner of Lucille’s eye is drawn a tiny rectangle and the black outline filled in with flesh colored paint on the point of a brush. Thus the eye look assumes a long, fascinating look. Faint lines painted next to the lashes, above and below, are blended with the fingertips into a faint shadow. “The eyes need a frame as well as the face,” says Berns. “The face is framed by the hair and the eyes should be framed by accentuating the lashes.”

MASCARA next (3) with an upward stroke of the brush. Then the lashes are coaxed to curl divinely upward and brushed to silky smoothness. A small stick, tipped with cotton, does duty in removing flecks of mascara that fly willy nilly below the eyes or on the lids. “In making up the face, start at the top and work down,” is Berns’ advice.

It’s just an old Chinese brush (4) that creates those enticing lips. Dipped in lipsalve (or a little cold cream and your favorite lipstick) the tip of the brush is used to outline the lips and broaden the bow in a luscious curve. Fill in with broader treatment—so that smiling does not reveal a line of demarcation.

To complete the make-up equipment is a brush for powder (5) to whisk it evenly over the entire face and throat and another brush for rouge to blend the color subtly far out on the cheekbones. “Rouge should be applied to the highest point on the face,” says Berns, voicing a simple formula to solve that oft-repeated question. “Never should it extend into the shadows around the eye.”

Wearing beauty like a star on her brow, Lucille mirrors a smile of appreciation for Mel Berns—too busy with the final arrangement of a rhinestone comb to notice.

Then— the costumers for a ravishing selection of gowns

by sally martin

SINCE the beginning of time, romance—”a dreamy, imaginative habit of mind”—has been the ultimate, the one want in life that all women, young or old, have had in common.

That one glorious adventure makes many demands among them, with constant planning of clothes and meticulous grooming of appearance. This, of all delectable experiences, must not catch us unawares.

Lucille Ball, young RKO player, has a date with romance. Lucille is the personification of young womanhood for she has charm, personality, figure and the instinctive ability to wear clothes. As Bernard Newman, Hollywood’s ace designer says, “Lucille has the potentialities of another Lilyan Tashman.” To a girl who is clothes conscious and remembers the Tashman flare for wearing ultra-chic creations, Newman’s remark would be sufficient to place Lucille at the head of Hollywood’s smartly dressed list of screen stars.

Lucille is an average girl living on an average income. She is not a star with a fabulous salary and must therefore plan her wardrobe as carefully as you or I.

Goethe once said, “He who is of his own time, [Continued on page 75]

is of all time.” Little did he realize that he was also striking the keynote of fashions, because a good and sound style which is of its own time, is as truly of all time as the person who comprehends his own world.

This, of course, applies to fundamentals and the methods of adopting and adapting these basic laws of dress must vary with each season and each successive generation. Usually, irregardless of masculine jibes, styles reflect fundamentals which are based on the laws of sanity.

The laws themselves are founded on a few simple principles—namely, that the current fashion should express the feeling and the need of the hour and activity; that is should never be conspicuous by its eccentricity, but always obvious by its discrimination; and that above all, it should be graceful, comfortable and practical. Hollywood, rapidly becoming the world’s style center, is concentrating nowadays on fashions which emphasize romance.

wikipedia articles sometimes have the best pull quotes

this one’s on lolo ferrari

She had 22 enlargements, which is a Guinness World Record.[9] The Guinness Book of Records (2003) indicates each of her breasts weighed 2.8 kilograms (6.2 lb) and contained three litres of saline.

She wore a specially engineered brassiere. Her brassiere measurements have been given by various sources as 58F,[10] 54G,[11] although these measurements appear false, as breasts of similar size have a bra size of around 36T or 36MMM. The breast implants themselves were reputed to be designed by an engineer who was involved with the design of the Boeing 747.[5]

In interviews, she said about her surgeries, "All this stuff has been because I can't stand life. But it hasn't changed anything" and "I was frightened and I was ashamed; I wanted to change my face, my body, to transform myself. I wanted to die, really."

and these from a guardian article

"For my mouth," she said in 1996, "we removed my Cupid's bow, tucked the mucous membranes up to my nose, and filled my lips with collagen. There's no particularly odd feeling or anything, but I have to put lipsalve on all the time. I adore being operated on. I feel wonderful in clinics. I love the feeling of a general anaesthetic - falling into this black hole and knowing I'm being altered as I sleep."

The breasts went first to 41in, then to 46in. They were desensitised and the skin was stretched nearly to bursting point. Ferrari lived in constant fear, as she mimed her songs and took off her clothes in club after club around Europe, that some madman would jump up on the stage and try to puncture them.

Beyond 46in, it became increasingly hard to find a plastic surgeon willing to take on the job. A couple of years ago, Vigne described the operation that made her a monstrous 54G. "I calculated the volume, the diameter, I drew up the plans and I took them to a guy I know who designs fuselage moulds for the aeronautics industry," he said.

"The designer made the moulds, and I gave them to a prosthetics maker who produced the empty silicone implants. It took a long, long time to find a surgeon willing to perform the operation. He removed the old implants and replaced them with the new. Each one was filled with two litres of serum. A bit later we increased it to three."

Ferrari insisted she was happy with the changes that were made to her body. "Having a big bust comforts me," she told yet another French interviewer. "It makes me more sure of myself. I'm like a transvestite - I've created a femininity that's completely artificial. But I'd like to have even bigger breasts. I can't because there are medical problems - you can't stretch the skin any more."

It frightened her, she said, to think of herself as skin, bone and blood. She wore a ring on every finger and dozens of bracelets and bangles; she painted her long fingernails pink. Her skin was the one thing she couldn't change, so she covered it with jewellery and makeup. If she didn't, she would have anxiety attacks, feeling, she said, that she was suddenly back with her old face.

#111 Uh-oh.

There’s a reason they ask if you have mouth sores. When you have zombie mouth, your tongue and inner mouth is fried mostly dead, and apparently also quite delicate although you won’t notice because of the fried dead part. 

I pulled at a tiny bit of dried skin on my lip – something that happens when I’ve mislaid my lipsalve – and, er… an alarming amount of my inner lip that ought to have stayed where it was just… didn’t, and vacated the area entirely en masse in a huge perfect strip. It didn’t really hurt and it didn’t bleed, but it was sore and mildly alarming and definitely something I shouldn’t have done and will take care not to repeat.

I'm certain that anyone reading this is smarter than I am and will of course not pull, pick, scrape or otherwise excavate half their mouth by mistake. Right? Good.

MY FUCKING LIPSALVE WENT ROUND THE WASHING MACHINE

[alphabetsoup-blogposts]

Tour riders?

Chicken, elevators and lipsalve? Hmm.

What would you ask for?

I'd want a shower—gold plated, obvs—and a coffee machine.

Thanks for the toe-tappin' tunes and see you tomorrow.

Lolo Ferrari

Ferrari born the 9th of February 1963 was a French dancer that became known for having the largest breasts in the world. However the effects of her plastic surgery have been rumoured to have caused her untimely death. The Guinness Book of Records says they weighed 6lb 2oz apiece, and measured her bust at 54G. She wore a specially engineered bra day and night and could not sleep on her stomach or her back (they interfered with her breathing). She was afraid to travel by plane in case they exploded. The breasts were not the only part of Ferrari that were not entirely natural. She had undergone multiple cosmetic surgery on her lips, cheeks, nose, forehead, eyebrows and stomach: 25 operations in five years. 

The cause that lead and encouraged her plastic surgery was her Husband Eric Vigne, who met Lolo when she was 17 and he was 39. Vigne's urgent desire to make lots of money perfectly matched the teenager's urgent desire to ditch her body: they were married within a year. Two years later, in 1990, the operations began. Vigne encouraged her; it was he who designed her mouth and eyebrows and came up with the plans for her mammoth breasts. 

"For my mouth we removed my Cupid's bow, tucked the mucous membranes up to my nose, and filled my lips with collagen. There's no particularly odd feeling or anything, but I have to put lipsalve on all the time. I adore being operated on. I feel wonderful in clinics. I love the feeling of a general anaesthetic - falling into this black hole and knowing I'm being altered as I sleep."

“The breasts went first to 41in, then to 46in. They were desensitised and the skin was stretched nearly to bursting point.”

When looking at Lolo for my project I want to focus on the aesthetics of her face rather than her body. Having also had many facial operations her face has the elements of exaggerated features that I am focusing on. Big lips contrasting a small nose and strong cheeks makes her face a perfect example of what I am trying to portray through a series of paintings.

Idk if this will help, just throwing some ideas out. Enchant something your friend can wear to court like lipstick/lipsalve to make sure what she's saying is really listened to/convinces the court? Protection spell for him to ward off a decision by the court that would send him away from your friend? Tarot reading as an indicator of what the court is like?

Thank you for the ideas ♡♡ definitely still brainstorming this
