I spotted Portia, a hairdresser, while she was outside taking smoke break. I loved her nonchalant attitude and the small details that turned a plain, all-black uniform into something memorable: ripped (and cuffed!) jeans, an off-the-shoulder top, and a big pendant necklace. Her tattoos (so ubiquitous in Tucson—I love it) added a nice touch, too, as does her bold (but not overdone) eye makeup. (And, yes, she’s wearing flip flops. Sometimes, occasionally, flip-flops don’t suck. I’ve never claimed to be consistent! You might even call me a… flip-flopper… on the issue!*)

*I am so, so sorry. The puns! Aghhh, they’re terrible.

i’ll see you at… RAW showcase

September 26, 2012 |

Headed to the RAW showcase tomorrow at Plush to check out some budding artistic talent of Tucson. From the RAW website:

“RAW’s mission is to provide up-and-coming artists of all creative realms with the tools, resources and exposure needed to inspire and cultivate creativity so that they might be seen, heard and loved. RAW educates, connects and exposes emerging artists in 54 artistic communities across the United States and Australia, through monthly showcase events. Join us in celebrating the work of these artists…

RAW events are multi-faceted artistic showcases. Each event features a film screening, musical performance, fashion show, art gallery, performance art and a featured hairstylist and makeup artist. These artists are all local, hand-picked talent who have been chosen to feature at RAW.

RAW events feature a cash bar for cocktails while you enjoy the night. Dress code is cocktail attire, so dress the occasion and get ready for an artistic circus of creativity!”

See you there!

Jennifer & Anthony. How cool is it that their tops & pants are almost exactly the same color, but switched? And I’m digging the little details of Jennifer’s outfit: her turquoise necklaces, the toned-down copper studs on her belt, and the uneven cuffs on her pants.
