Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

"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
