This morning's demonstration was a quick guide on applying lace pieces, as well as how to float facial hair from a tuffy head for use on an actor. We then had a quick practice attempt on our partners, before practicing our moustache creation. The afternoon was spent practicing beard work on our tuffy heads. We need to create a complete beard on our partners tomorrow so this was great practice. I'd heard that Ivonne was driving up to Frends Beauty Supplies, wh...

Was in school even earlier today after going in with the new CMS students. They seem pretty eager to get in early. Louis started off with a demonstration of a goatee and moustache on Manya, which we'd later practice on our partners. I paid a lot more attention to the application today, so was hoping the final result would be half-decent. Before lunch, we attempted a couple of mo's on 'tuffy heads' (basically a fake rubber face for laying hair), and ended up w...

Today kicked off the first day of facial hair appliance, and the last week of character makeup before we move on to prosthetics.

How nice of me! Louis was our instructor today, and will be for the rest of the week before our character e...

I'm now over half way of my course and my living in Los Angeles. Shocking how fast it's gone, but i've already learnt so much here. Once again, the snooze button was my enemy this morning. I'd originally planned to try getting to Lucky Baldwin's out in Pasadena to catch up with the LASpurs for the game at Newcastle, but ended up poncing the internet from another router (the one where I'm staying is rubbish) and watched it in the 'garden'. I maybe shouldn't hav...

I had no plans for today, so spent most of it watching Breaking Bad. I'm totally hooked on it. I knew that new 'The Thing' prequel/remake type thing was released yesterday, so decided to go and check that out in the evening. I was hoping some people would come join me, but they all had other plans, were ill, or had locked their keys in the trunk of their car… I had a few beers at the Yard House in Downtown, before heading to the cinema, and after being thoro...
