HAIR DESIGN SKETCHES

Tranvestite exhibition

Palermo woods is a park filled with hundreds of Buenos Aires locals running, walking, cycling, roller blading by day. One night I cycled around the lake in the centre of Palermo woods, in amazement. This road was lined with transvestites, competing to gain the attention of the men in cars passing by. On POP fm radio, a local palermo radio station anouncer stated that, "3000 men pass by everynight". Cars go round and round as if lost in a supermarket maze. In search tranvestite which simulates a fantasy, a desire in the moment. Like products in a department store, each Transvestite tries to out do the other in appearance.

I am very interested the fact that many hetersexual men don t identify them selves as gay, but have sex with tranvestites. Transvestites subconsciously try to look like the sort of women they find most attractive and therefore wish to emulate there appearance. Perhaps that is why transvestites adopt slutty looks, an echo of the paradoxical hetersexual desire to date sluts, but eventually marry a virgin.

The director of Pink Flamingos and Hairstray, commented on the subject, "I know that dragg queens and transsexuals are always chased by men who seem to identify as being straight. Most transvestites I know in America have told me that straight men want transvestites to fuck them up the ass".

Perhaps consumerism is teaching people how to daydream about commodites, about other sexual bodies, fantasis, to daydream. Through make up, fashion and of course one can change there appearance. This become a simalaca, an illusion of something else. Perhap due to this illusion hetersexual men believe they are with a women. An illusion of something they desire, dream about.

My image has placed the transexual as a art piece, an object of desire.

You can look, Desire, fantasis, but don t touch unless you have a black American Express credit card

PRODUCTION IMAGE

"Do not touch unless you can afford them, darling" production

My idea for the "Do not touch unless you can afford them, Darling" production, stemmed from my friend Faustino Lopez`s classically inspired fashion creations. I idea for the location and look of this production came from Katherine Hepburns staring roll in, "Suddenly Last Summer". Many hiden secrets immerged during the course of the film.

First concept sketch. The model stands on a sphereical mirror and another mirror stands up right, disguising her legs. The Shoes in the image below from local Buenos aires designer Lucila iotti, float in spacial voild. They appair on display, as in a department store window display. As an object of desire, revealed beneath her dress. Perhap a world within a world exists beneath for dress.

The idea for this production stemmed from John Galliano 2007 haute Couture 1950 s style department style presentation. The miror plays on the departement store presentation of Garmentent and as art, objects of desire, objects to be looked at, fantasised about.



Classically designed shoes by Lucila Iotti.


Model selected for production: Candelari Roca

A tube coming out of the models mouth, travels along her arm to a very eligant virginia slim cigarette. The cigarette acting as her life support, to provide fuel to her body. This idea stemmed from who smoke excessively. People can not move, function with out an unlite cigarette.

"Stepping on dog pooh in style" production.

This production idea came from the very reality of walking down many Buenos Aires streets and stepping in dog shit. I have seen many women glamously dressed, scream "oh shit", when stepping in dog shit.

I have found three locations. Each for there quirky style, simliar to the french film, delicatessen.

PRODUCTION IMAGES

"Mate is life" production

Concept + sketches
Yerba Mate production.

Argentines of all ethnic groups and classes prepare and serve mate according to a ritual that goes back hundreds of years. A server (cebador) fills a gourd (mate) cup almost to the rim with chopped yerba mate leaves and then pours heated (but not boiling) water into the mate. Drinkers sip the hot liquid through a bombilla, a silver straw with a bulbous filter at the end that prevents the leaves from entering the straw. The mate cup is passed clockwise around the group of friends or family. Each participant drinks the entire cup before it is passed to the next person. Mate is very popular in Argentina, with an average of 5 kg per person per year consumed--over 4 times the amount of coffee. Below are two images. One of the mate tea and one of the a traditional holder.


Mate, like coffee and cigerettes is quite adiction. Most people drink this throughout there working day as a source of fuel to function with. My idea for this production stems from my observation a gentelman in a video. He greeted my friend and I with "hola, como estas", sip sip on his mate. Can I help you? sip sip on his mate. He seemed to be living and breathing, functioning from this mate substance. I came with the slogen, "Mate is Life". The concept sketches below illustrate my ideas. The mate packet is cut in half and attacted to mirror. In the reflection the other half appairs. The mate packet appairs as though floating in space. A tube connect to the model drinking mate from an extented mate metallic straw. He is living and breathing mate through consumption and wearing a mate jacket. Creating the appearance of a Film noir figure of tango singer preserved in time.

Props and costume sketches.

A blazer jacket covered in Mate, a tube connect to a tube behind his seat to a mate packet floating in space between his reflected self. A red scarf and a red hanky cheif. A metallic exterior mate holder and extented mate holder constructed from plastic and painted in silver paint.

Two location options. Both are located in San telmo`s quaint neighbourhood.

Research images for the make up design. 1930`s film noir images and Carlos Gardel local icon.
