Faux-Fabulous

Monique Jenkinson aka Fauxnique.

One of a kind female drag queen. I came across Fauxnique after being shown Silencefiction's Lipstique music video, of which she featured in both the song & video. Straight away i was taken by her character, so classy & elegant with a kick of that drag queen flair that we all love, then to top it off her final look at the end of the video was so fabulous i instantly looked her up.

 Her costumes and performances are wonderfully creative, in particular her continuously-changing paper dress in 'Poses', which you can see below:

You can see more of her performances on youtube, these are some of my favourites:

Make(me)Up

Expect alot of posts on theatrical inspiration, especially circus & Clowns. Their makeup comes in all shapes and sizes and is always fun to look at & i would love to re-create a look suitable to do on a night out - it's certainly on my to-do list! 

Love the one on the left!

I can't get enough of how much character you get from this photo. Amazing!

Even the Queen herself likes to clown around!

Lets not forget about the mimes...

Here's a 'prettier' editorial approach:

LOVE.LOVE.LOVE.

Another 'race' in the creative world that are known for their extreme makeup are the glorious Drag Queens. Below is a music video for Silencefiction's Lipstique, featuring female drag queen Fauxnique. I instantly fell in love with their sass and expression when a friend first showed me this. I also love Fauxnique's final look.
