notes on Guy Bourdin:

-He was a madman who thought the color green was very bad luck.

-In his world, beauty is inextricably linked to death, filth, and corrupted laughter.

-His universe is hallucinatory, caustic, and parodic.
-A world of impossible glamour, impossible pleasure, and impossible danger.
-He was in opposition of refined elegance and vapid optimism.

Makeup in Guy's World (very specific):

Eyes: heavily-shadowed, contoured and lined; lids coated in blue, black, gray, or brown

Cheeks: lots of visible rouge in pink, peach, rose, or coral

Lips: bright, garish lipstick, glossy or matte, hot red or shocking pink

Nails: burning, blue-based red, matte daggers 

Skin: pale, pale, pale

-Everything enhanced to the fullest, dragged to the extreme

-Feminine features amplified

-Anti-natural

-High-octane glamour

-Nothing is ignored or neglected

"There was old sex in the room and loneliness, and expectation, of something, without a shape or name. I remember that yearning for something that was always about to happen and was never the same as the hands that were on us there and then, in the small of the back, or out back, in the parking lot, or in the television room with the sound turned down and only the pictures flickering over lifting flesh." -Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale
