Ditas Whip - 12 Shades of Dita - "Transformations"

Hey hunties! Yeah its here! The last day of the February celebration of Icon Art Marilyn's anniversary! and as it is the tradition with such things we finish this first year with a big big bang! And this is gonna be me, Dita Whip, in 12 shades for you! 

 

Of course "Transformations" has been a huge fun project for me and I thank the lovely volunteers for their participation! I hope that the actual aim of the project to highlight make-up and its facets has been anticipated and seen as well, so that there has been more then the usual awe about beautiful make-up. If you don't have any idea what the actual aim of the project is and was then head here to read all about it! But so far the series comes to an end.... until March 5th, when a new "Transformation" goes online, glitter style! I have decided with icon Art Marilyn that the "Transformations" project will become a category of its own here on the blog to show you all different kinds of wonderful faces, with and without make-up. But to let you see that I not only paint people I will give you 12 shades of Dita, and be part of the series! So hold on to your wigs and gag on my eleganza! xoxo

"Transfromations" - Jessica Rabbit with Pink Hair!

Hey bubble buts and gutter sluts! Its Dita once again! And today its time for another "Transfromations"! And this time I have the honor to present you my lovely volunteer Michaela as the Dita Whip version of Jessica Rabbit... with cotton candy oink hair! Lets get started, shall we?

This look speaks of a fantasy land where reality, comic, crazy, sexy and fierce meet, intercept and have a love baby. And that looks like what you are about to see. Crazy high eyebrows, sexy pumped up lips and some damn big blue eyeshadow! Exuding sexy in the Aime form with a side dish of surprised look. What a strong and self determined beauty that looks like one of these dolls, don't you think?

For this look I wanted to go completely crazy and unnatural, cause the idea behind it was Jessica Rabbit. I started off with the usual contouring and highlighting, but with the difference that I glued down Michaelas eyebrows to paint all over them later. After powder, powder and more powder, i was done with her eyebrows which then made me paint on new ones somewhere high on her forehead. Afterwards I painted all white what was going to be the eyeshadow part before I added layers of blue eyeshadow for the optimal coverage. Then, adding thick and juicy black eyeliner and mascara completed the eye part. The lips were finished by a red lipstick and some bright accents in the lip corners. Of course some lip gloss was added to optically boost the lips.

Of course you can get an insight into what Michaela had to say about  her transformation:

As Sandra Bullock correctly said, ‘make-up is scary’. Nevertheless, Dita’s offer was a great opportunity to try something new and face up to the challenge. For someone who does not use very much make-up and has short hair, the weight of both, makeup and wig, were new to me. Already after the first layers of foundation, my face felt significantly heavier. Since my eyebrows (or what is left of them… Insert joke about trichotillomania here!) were to disappear, Dita used a mixture of different glues to flatten their structure and cover them with makeup. With a face full of glue and heavy layers of makeup, I felt like a Hollywood star shortly after her tenth lifting – my face was an alien part of my body, incapable of moving or showing any facial expressions, you know... just like Kristin Stewart. Since it took quite long to finish the makeup, I had time to become familiar with my new look… and in the end, I even liked it! Although long hair will never feel right on my head, it was a great experience to slip into a different role…. And the fact that neither my family nor my friends recognized me on the pictures shows, that this was a radical transformation!

And, since we once more did not take a real half and half picture, here Dita got for you a sort of half and half one: 

Ditas Whip - RuPauls Drag Race Season 6 - The Wait is over Kittens!

Gurrls! Welcome to Dita's Whip - The Drag #Whorespondent of Icon Art Marilyn! Finally it is officially here! The season six premiere of RuPauls Drag Race! The sixth season of this spectacular, unspookable and jaw-dropping transformation extravaganza  is giving us life in every second that it blesses our TV screens! 

And dayum season six is going to be full of fierce fish throwing shady shade in shanty style! Bring on the firing squad, Darianne Lake is ready, but so are we!

Tonight on Logo TV we will see the whole first episode in whole of the new season where we see whom of the queens TV series inspired couture send her packing or gets her the Ru stamp of approval in the form of a shantay you stay! And darlings I am voting for .. both to go home! #AllTAllShade But lets get it started from the beginning. As the new queens entered the workroom we had all the shade at first as they were only seven and had to compete just between each other. They will just meet the others after they survived this first episode. 

When the queens began the season with the usual Mike Ruiz photo-shoot they had to make a jump into TV. Literally. Jumping into a pool of foam they had to give leg, body, face and fish in the air. And Laganja Estranja grabbed the win as she was giving us legs for ages and fierce for days! When the main challenge arrived the queens had to create a couture outfit that resembled from stuff that aligned to TV's best known shows, including (Fucked UP) Duck Dynasty, Keeping Up With The Kartrashians, Dancing With The Stars and Golden Girls. In the end Ben De La Creme and April Carrion rocked the competition with Ben winning. I started to absolutely hate Laganja Estranja, adore Adore Delano even more, despise Kelly Mantle for her lack of character profile and fashion forwardness, disagreeing with everyone about Vivacious hideous walk and outfit and finally starting to think that all that Gia Gun is good at is giving face. So in the end I definitely am looking forward for the second set of girls to get it to the next level. So gentlemen, start you engines! And may the best woman win! Oh and the guest judges of course were Mike Ruiz and the hot hot hot Adam Lambert!

See you next Tuesday for another Dita's Whip with all the T about Drag Race! Cause from now on: Tuesday will be the T with Dita!

"Transformations" - Behind the Scenes of Versace 90's Realness

Hallelu! Yesterday has been a real feast when Jill showed us her Versace 90's realness look and made us gag on her eleganza extravaganza! And, during the making of this gemstone, Dita Whip had someone to take pictures during the process, you know, to document it. Are you ready for the behind the scenes? Then lets get to it! 

First of course there was an extensive amount of foundation, contouring and a wig cap to hold back Jill's hair, cause ain't nobody got time for getting foundation outta your hair gurrl!

Then came the usual highlighting with clown white make up that was been blended in to the nines. Spread that stuff good and well so it wont be seen no more! Highlights were set under the eyes, the forehead, under the cheeks, along the nose, under the nose and on the chin. 

After all the highlights have been blended in lots of powder was added on there (Not in the pictures), and some more blending had to be done. After that a little bit of blush was added. Then the color part began. With some simple but delicious pink red eyeshadow.

After the blush all the colors were added to Jills forehead, her eyebrows were thickened and a huge eyeliner completed the look along red shiny lips. And the result was as seen in the next picture.

"Transformation" - Versace 90's Realness

Hey there hunties! Today it is time for the second run of my lovely volunteer Jill and her pictures as a Versace 90's  model. If you havent seen Jill's first, Pop Art Realness, "Transformations" check it out here! So lets have at it and turn and twist this "Transfromations" episode Dita Whip style!

Ths look exudes roman or greek elegance with the idea of the fierce glamazon! This look speaks of an agressive straight forewrd woman with lots of confidence in her abilities. She knows that her beauty is from an ancient perfection and screams color bride of the rainbow. Luxurious feeling and sickeningly devastating richness of color give this attire the last finish.

Highlighting and contouring within this look are very extensive, to create a perfcet foundation for the many colors that are to be set on her forehead. The most part of the work was it to add the rainbow around the eye parts, although it was not a real rainbow. The gold part around the center of the foreheadtook the longest. All together all the colors had to be added as several layers so that they really shined bright and powerfull. The look was completed by a simple but thick eyeliner and red, volumptuous lips. 

And as per ususal my volunteer gave her opinion on the transformation! This is how she felt about this all:

To be honest I'm rather a fan of the n's... nude... natural... or no make-up at all! But I have to admit that I was looking forward to the transformation, especially because I was curious how different I am able to look. It is always astonishing to see how make-up can change a person's overall appearance. For days the girls participating in the series were really excited about who would be getting which theme for her look. When I heard that I should be turned into a Brazilian or Indian colour explosion I was even more curious. Would I look like a Holi Festival visitor splashed with paint or like a colourful canary bird? After about two hours of pasting and gumming up every pore (not to mention the neck pain) the result was stunning! The face in the mirror was not mine anymore but I loved the combination of colours which reached up to my hairline. I'd describe it as a piece of art in which Dita put in much effort. However, it's still hard for me to imagine that there are actually many girls taking that much time every morning to put on their daily mask.

And as per usual you also get a look behind the scenes with the half and half picture! Oh and stay tuned for tomorrows behind the scenes pictures of the whole transformation!

"Transformations" - Sexcretary Realness

Hey darlings! After yesterdays article about what Drag means to me I now give you another stunning "Transformations". This time modeled after my daytime job, my lovely volunteer Lisa got turned into a professional #Sexcretary! the office will never be the same again!

The Dita Whip #Sexretary look is actually a very natural one. Highlighting and contouring are very light compared to the other make-overs and display a natural beauty. The look speaks of an office romance in the 80's where the rule is: No romance without finance. But: our #Sexcretary is not light headed! No underneath her bubbly pink wig is a sharp mind! Sexy confidence with straight drawn boundaries! Otherwise shell let you know with her ruler what you have done wrong!

Like I said before highlighting and contouring are very basic and natural. The look consists of a little darkened eyebrows, red and lilac colored eyeshadow and a fine but supreme eyeliner. Completed is the whole ensemble by irresistibly full red lips that are framed by deliciously dark red lip liner. On top of that Lisa decided to give my pink curly ling wig a try and made the look a cotton candy fantasy that invites the spectator to take a bite out of that deliciousness!

As with all "Transformations" before, I asked my volunteer Lisa to give us a few words about what she felt the experience was like.

Being Dita Whip’s canvas? Becoming her personally designed and coloured puppet?
Well, to be honest, I wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as I probably should have been considering that Dita is a really good friend of mine. But her love for extravagance and exaggeration was frightening me a bit and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to let her take complete control. But retrospectively I need to admit: it was an amazing experience! Like the other volunteers, I was graciously seated, my hair was pulled back as hard as humanly possible and Dita ordered: ‘Head back and hold it, dear!’ (Okay I have to admit that this sounds slightly like one of these third class porn films. I have to stop saying that! ^^) This simple instruction soon became my worst nightmare: putting on one layer of make-up after the other, powdering my face clearly 100 times and having somebody concentrating on the perfect eyelid line for more than 20 minutes – I just wasn’t able to feel my neck anymore. But finally all those exertions were absolutely worth it! Having the privilege of being the first person to wear Dita’s new pink wig (Even I haven’t worn it then!) in addition to looking like a different, but actually pretty beautiful person, I felt amazingly transformed.  This strange woman who was looking at me from inside in the mirror became more and more familiar as I starred at her, and in the end Dita had to literally push me out of the camera’s focus – I simply couldn’t get enough of this moment of masquerade; this escape from reality and normality. Next time Dita asks for my participation, my answer will definitely be: ‘Hell, yes!

Sadly we forgot to take a half and half picture of the transformation as a whole, but to use the candy effect f the wig we played around a little with a picture and ended up with this: 

  

I hope you guys enjoyed this transformation! See you back tomorrow! XOXO Dita
