"Negative World Status"

"No Reason For Existence"

"Obsolete" - Quotes from film Jubilee (1977) by Derek Jerman

Political issues affecting 80's

Derek Jerman - was one of the most outspoken and ahead of his time gay rights activist. He was open gay public figure, which was quite rare back then. Moreover, he was multitalented English artist, film director, author and gardener.
His Jubilee movie was one of the first punk movies ever made (Wikipedia) and it is reflecting what society was coming to and had become. I did not get the chance to watch an entire movie, but I watched parts of it.
He featured groups like Adam and Ant, Toyah Willcox, Jordan, Wayne County, and The Electric Chairs.

Here I attach just a piece I found on YouTube. This is his grounbreaking movie called Sebastiane (1976) movie. It is considered to be one of the first positive movies with gay theme:

In one of his interviews he said that, Politics and Parliament didn't want to see his as part of British future.

There another movie called Caravaggio, is quite pessimistic with the hints on modern (at the time) Great Britain. As he described it "Britain is a pessimistic place except in the magazines and newspapers".

War Requiem is an anti war film and is one of the most difficult ones, as he describes. The idea behind was to make a war where there was no enemies, and as if the actual was was accidental. The theme of this film is "humanity". He portraying ordinary people, no matter which nationality etc. No bad characters an no labels e.g. Germans are bad, enemies. Here is one of his interviews, which is backed up with some short pieces of his work. It takes time to start:

Derek Jerman also directed the 1989 tour by Pet Shop Boys:

My Face Chart for the First Look:

Practice First Look on Cherry: I was waiting Blue Eye Shadow from Illamasqua to be delivered, hence I substituted blues with purples. Also, I decided not to include Bi symbol, as I thought that it may look overpowering against her big and flamboyant eyes:

I've learnt not to apply purple on jew line, as it looks like bruising!

Sparkling & Dazzling Styling

This false nails I've designed for my First Metallic Blue Dazzling Look

I bought this Adam and Ant alike jacket from the charity shop in Boscombe. This will match perfectly with my dazzling silver leggins and a bra adorned in fake diamonds. This will be the Second Look. 

I loved these monster gloves. They remind me of Lady Gaga style so outrageous to wear to the club. I may include them into the Silver Look.

Thats's what you call contouring! What a great job! Unfortunately, I don't know who've created this gorgeous look. I took this image from Alex Box's Twitter. She shared this photo for admiration reasons and didn't include the name of the artist.
