If you remember, over the summer I constructed a very rainbowlicious outfit. Naturally, I wanted to shoot in it – and the opportunity presented itself when Steve & I got together to shoot a promo campaign for the lipsticks. Specifically: Airborne Unicorn!

I was envisioning something ethereal & slightly dark, kind of like that 80s movie Legend. I won’t lie, it took me forever to get ready – being my crazy self, I didn’t bring any help and ended up having to do everything myself! The goal was to transform myself, literally, into a human unicorn. The makeup was two non-matching rainbows stretched across my face and onto the forehead; hair was made to resemble a flowing mane. I accessorized with a candyfuturistic crystal ring I made earlier and some Japanese clear nail extensions. The whole preparation stage took about 3 hours.

The real magic erupted when I stepped onto the set and Steve’s assistant began throwing artificial snow over my head. Suddenly, I was no longer a girl dressed as a unicorn – I was a unicorn!! We all had an amazing time and produced images beyond our wildest imagination. In my book, this is how it’s supposed to be!
