Smoke and Celluloid Photoshoot

clementej — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 07:08:44 +0000

I do hair. That is one of the things I love that I get to do for “work.” I have many interests, hobbies, and passions and when I get to mix any of these and call it work, win! Doing hair, smoking cigars, hanging out with creative people I call friends all for an amazing photo shoot. That’s a good day.

The beautiful, talented models in the photos are Teresa Merchant of Smoking Hot Cigar Chick and, just as hilarious as she is gorgeous, Julianna. It was a lot of fun all day. Tracy Tesmer is incredible, period. A camera is wheels and buttons without those eyes! And I’m in love with her Smoke and Celluloid project. A love for smoking cigars, a love for shooting film, put them together, win! Toward the end of the shoot I went from watching it to becoming part of it. Here are a few of the photos:

Straight Salvation or Mad Science?

So if you haven’t heard yet there could be a pill on the way that will let you throw out that flat iron. Researchers at Australias Queensland Institute of Medical Research said they have discovered the gene responsible for dictating the curliness of hair.

Researcher professor Nick Martin, author of the research, said a variation in the trachohyalin gene determines the straightness or curliness of the hair. Professor Martin also says this discovery will lead to a pill that will make it possible to grow straight hair rather than treating the hair directly to achieve the sleek look.

Honestly, knowing what it takes to straighten curly hair and maintain that smooth style, I can see the appeal of a pill being your straight salvation. But I don’t even like the idea of doing chemical texture changes because you lose your options by permanently straightening your hair. All that aside there is something rather questionable in the possibility of changing your genetic makeup for different hair. I am however excited to see what comes of all this. Tell me what you think by leaving a comment here.
