The Circus Girl Colouring Book ~ by Talulah Blue

3/22/2017

0 Comments

 
Over the last year my mum and myself have been working on the Circus Girl Colouring Booking.

My mum has always been a great painter and illustrator, I've always admired her work and for some time wanted to take advantage of the skills we have between us.
When I was a child she would draw pictures of mermaids and fairies, I loved them, and would stare at them for hours.
With this book, we can share a little bit of the joy.
Years later I did a degree in graphic design, fast forward another 8 years after my career in graphics for fashion ended, and here we are.

​Work in progress.

The Faeries book was also a big influence, I remember looking over the pages multiples times as a child, and using it as part of an art project as school.

My mum does beautiful drawings, and I edit them and put them together into downloadable PDF files.

So far this has been over a year in the making, it's a slow process, we are just letting the creative process take it's course, while trying not to pressure ourselves too much as we both run costumes shops that we need to upkeep daily.
My mums makes fascinators & veils, and I make festival and burlesque based costumes.

Halloween 2016

Talulah Blue Halloween Burlesque by Neil Kendall
So, I have been busy trying to get ready for Halloween ~ it's a time of year I have neglected in the past.

Being mainly one weekend it never made sense to spend so much time on an act ~ until I started working on TOXIC, the costume has taken longer than I could ever have imagined.

With a combination of Neil Kendalls creativity in the shoot set up, it's worked out to be a really striking image.

My signature act 'Down in Mexio' can of course work with a day of the dead theme & even add fire into it.

Talulah Blue Halloween Burlesque by Neil Kendall
I still have my little hula hooping leopard, the idea coming from a stunning vintage image I really wanted to re-create.

​After years of performing I couldn't bring myself to go with something stereotypical for a new Halloween act, so I dove off in the opposite direct and went with pastels! 

​The past few years I have experimented more with makeup, and I think found some looks that suit me.

With the combination of concepts, burlesque and circus skills there is plenty of content for some entertaining acts.

First Screen Printed Tees!

3/25/2016

0 Comments

 
After meaning to create and print a tee design for the past 2-3 years, I finally turned it around in the space of one week!

After coming back from Prague, which has only added to my bohemian obsession, I was full of inspiration after seeing all of the amazing Art Nouveau building interiors ... I started with a Mucha Graphic painting as my basis, and the design grew from there.

I then threw in a little darkness with the ouija board and little devil heads.
Picture
The basis for the design was done on the flight home, as I just needed to start drawing and get the ideas out right away.

Talulah Blue Feather Fans on ITV's Mr.Selfridge

2/1/2016

I've been waiting month's for ITV's Mr. Selfridge new series, after receiving commissions on feather fans for the show. Pic. teal medium feather fan with beaded tassel, and large white feather fans.

Paired with the rest of the costumes on the show I am so pleased to have my creations on a show with such an authentic wardrobe for the characters.

The Dolly Sisters were quite a notorious pair, and had their way spending Harry Selfridges money. Follow the story below.

Who were the Dolly Sisters?

Born in Hungary, the Dolly Twins forged their performing careers in films and theatres. After World War 1, they moved to France and started touring as a dance act around Europe.
They were paid well and had even dated royalty: Carol II of Romania, Christian X of Denmark and Alfonso XIII of Spain were among their reported courtiers.
By the time the sisters met Harry Selfridge in the 1920s, they had built up a reputation for extravagant tastes – they were dubbed ‘The Million Dollar Dollies’.

The Dolly Sisters’ relationship with Harry Selfridge is commonly, but perhaps unfairly, blamed for his downfall and subsequent bankruptcy. He lavished money on both sisters, and spent millions trying to win Jenny’s heart.
Selfridge was devoted to Jenny and was obsessed with trying to fulfil her every whim. He would sit behind her at casinos, feeding her bank notes, and consoling her and her sister with more jewelry if they lost.
During the course of his relationship with the sisters, Selfridge reportedly spent a total $4million satisfying their gambling habits – up to $250million in today’s money.
