Me and Mum have been so busy making loads of NEW Marebands for the shop that we’ve run out of space to display them!!!! So this week I set The Peaches a creative challenge to create a head of an iconic character for our Peaches Hall of Fame, that can be used for displaying the marebands.
The heads have caused a storm on twitter and facebook today, with people trying to guess who they are? Mine inparticular, the one with the red hair. I chose to do Patricia Field, the Sex in the City stylist. I went to her shop in New York around 6 years ago and have been inspired by her style ever since. In my opinion she is the most stylish New Yorker, however I don’t know how she’d feel about being mistaken for Pete Burns ( hopefully flattered, his makeup is to die for!!!!) I think it’s the fact I painted her in the same cool style she designed her own limited edition of Coca Cola bottles.
The others seemed a lot easier to guess thanks to the artistic skills of the girls. Polly created Jessie J, Rosie created Kat Von D, Lizzie created Marge Simpson ( using a full bag of cotton wool balls sprayed blue) and Little Katie created Gaga who we joked looks a little like Gladys the painting Phoebe made for Rachael in Friends!!!! Ha . Nic has decided to make hers into Avatar in memory of her legendary Peaches & Scream Halloween makeover, she’s been too busy to finish it though so watch this space for The Re-Birth of Avatar next week!
