Gay and trans* children of conservative politicians

Tony Montana make up
HD make up gone wrong due to the light of the photography flash.
Guest post by Simone S. Niquille, who is a student of ours at Sandberg Institute Amsterdam. She is writing her graduation thesis on FaceValue and the text below is an extract from it.
In 2009 during the premiere for the movie ‘Nine’ in New York, photos of Nicole Kidman appeared: “What’s all the powder in her face?”. Most photos show Kidman covered in white powder on her nose and under her eyes, the exact spots foundation is applied to. Other photos of the night seem to show a normal face however. HD make-up reflects light differently than regular make up, making it possible to apply less product while still retaining a concealing function, perfect functionality for HD production. The flash of the photo cameras did not comply with the HD make-up however. The make-up product applied did not adhere to the techno norms of Kidman’s situation. The make-up was applied outside of its context and malfunctioned, resulting in a transparent make-up strategy reveal.

MRRY XMAS, meet my desktop stripper
Merry Christmas everyone!
We have a solution for those who feel lonely in the holiday season, desktop strippers. We met them during our research for The Importance of being Sexy, the XXX website we designed, like a year ago. They were popping up in the right cover of your screen while browsing in adult sites. Yet, recently we ran into their larger-than-life versions that we could download and have them parade in between our photoshop layers.

Dazed n Confused office animals
For their November issue, Dazed & Confused prepared a long article about our latest Collection Scandal Aqua. We’re now in London for the Frieze Art Fair. While visiting their office, our new friends at the Dazed suggested that we make special edition Dazed digital blogpost about Frieze through Pinar&Viola scanner.
As a result, we prepared a collection of iGadgets displayed in the stand tables. It was quite striking to us to see the level of iConnectivity in each gallery module. We could feel the the reassuring pleasant feeling of being part of the VIP technologic community. From French Oceanic Art dealers in Frieze Masters to cutting-edge contemporary talent hunters from NY, all tables were ornate with the technologic wonder children of this century. It seems that the Mac slick look helps them to deepen the mystery, while making an allegorical reference to it’s context, Art.
You can see our post here, also we show you the little animal kingdom living in the Dazed & Another Magazine office.
