London: ” Brixtaaaaan darling! “

20120929-194206.jpg

I planned and accomplished my weekly goals so naturally Saturday was calling for Brixtaaaan time, darling.
Grocery shopping at Brixton market & a meal at Oracles Organic Juice Bar & Restaurant, serving vitamin rich & energy filled vegan & vegetarian raw food in Brixton Village.
Had to be revisited! Today the owner didn’t have any raw vegan cakes as last time, bummer.
He is a character himself and so is the whole community of the village. You really have to go visit.

Tummy full. Time for some tea. We are in England after all.
Ladies of Brixton have officially United.

One of the employees of the Relay caffe.
Great jacket, denim shirt and over all style. Here’s the link to his own blog about the clothing range founded by him and his wife:

People fascinate me. Different cultures fascinate me & so does the way individuals from all around the world express themselves trough fashion. Now put them in one place and you will get London as the end result.
I feel Brixton has that raw vibe. Not so super cool & hip yet for the hipsters to invade it completely, but underground and raw enough so you can still sense the movement of cultures under one roof.
It’s easy, fun & character driven. I adore it.

Till next time.

London: ” Truffles invades a magazine shoot “

While shooting a fashion editorial for Glassbook magazine today a lady with two puppies walks by.
This one was sweet & such a patient poser even though he looks a tiny bit angry here. I don’t blame him, not an easy job standing on your 2 back feet for 10mins when you usually use all 4.

I present to you, a talented model, who struts his stuff only part time. Goes by the name:
TRUFFLES

Sandra Berube

I feel I can speak Italian or at least I feel I would like to express myself vocally, physically and charismatically like an Italian woman would, scream and shout at the sky, rain and London traffic and with it all remain a lady of manner and elegance. Oh yes, stomp my feet I did when a passer by almost took my eye out with his umbrella, then turned radically to only realize it was a man of about 80 years old, trying his upmost to make it to the bus station and not drown.
” I , I ,.. Ooh your bus Sir! “, I smiled at him gently and laughed out loud at myself, my own foolishness. I’m more fragile than I think I am. Slight change of seasons gets me all Italian.
I needed a good laugh, a lesson or just an afternoon of relaxation.

Constantly challenging myself, multitasking…
But still leaning how to breathe in between.

This ended up being a relax-a-smile & breathe day.

So, I wanted to share some of my work I do as a make up artist, which isn’t usually seen.
This was shot few months ago.

I introduce to you, a talented model, SANDRA BERUBE, who expresses her creativity also as a Circus performer.
