Malvika's Ramblings

All that greasepaint

As i try to crack a brief by a newspaper client, I am missing flipping through Vogue,
getting ready for a fashion shoot,
analysing-scrutinising the ensembles on models as they sashay down the ramp,
the Egyptian malachite green on the eye,
gothic smoky eyes,
the look of American wives and girlfriends egging on the Freds and Harvys in Vietnam,
the seductress Mrs Robinson,
Geisha designs in India Fashion Week 2006,
layering, bubble silhouettes,
artificiality to a scream,
the bottle green- moss - tan- sienna - deep purple palette that has a smell and texture...

I miss it all.
