I just happened to stumble upon this picture and did a complete 'oh shit its one of mine' double take. I thought I would put up here for slight name dropping rights, this is a photograph of former model turned TV presenter Galia Ina it was taken by Marcelo Benfield, with make up by Tora Young, and hair by yours truly. I can remember the shoot so vividly, one of those jobs where you know before you even get there that you are horrendously out of your depth. It was a blistering hot summers day the kind where your hands sweat so much you can barely hold pair of tongs to begin with, plus I was horribly nervous and of course managed to make a right pigs ear of the whole thing, and the worst part was because everyone else had been doing this for 20 odd years not only did they all know, but they were all really NICE about it, to the point where you feel that the only decent thing to do would be a sort of Japanese samurai style honor suicide and fall graciously upon your own tail comb. (Funnily enough they never called me back)
