Bebe Gene - Makeup and Hair Stylist

'I don't know what I want with you, other than just you.'

About Me

I AM A CREATOR OF MANY THINGS. I USE DIFFERENT MATERIALS LIKE MAKEUP, PAINT, ROADKILL, WIRES, BRANCHES, RIBBONS, SEALIFE, SKELETONS, DECAYING FLESH, AND OTHER RANDOM ELEMENTS TO PORTRAY A CERTAIN THEME OR IMAGE ON SOMEBODY'S FACE AND/OR BODY. ALL THE PICTURES IN MY PHOTOS SECTION THAT ARE 'not me.' ARE OF MY WORK. I DID MOST OF HAIR, ALL MAKEUP, AND COLLABORATED ON THE CONCEPT ON ALL OF THEM. I AM AVAILABLE (RARELY) FOR TFP, DEPENDING ON WHO, AND WHAT THE SHOTS ARE FOR. I'M A CRAFTY ONE, ALRIGHT. I AM EXPERIENCED IN: TELEVISION, FILM, CASUAL / SPECIAL OCCASSION / ARTISTIC / PHOTOGRAPHIC / PERIOD / CONTOURED / HIGH STYLE... I'VE DONE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING.

'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.' - Nelson Mandela

You Have A Type A- Personality
You are one of the most balanced people around
Motivated and focused, you are good at getting what you want
You rule at success, but success doesn't rule you.

My Interests

STYLE OVER FASHION. ALWAYS.
"Fashion is a lot of people looking over their shoulders to find out if they’re marching in step with everybody. We’re more concerned about passion. Something that happens in your heart; something that you have to believe in, something that you have to feel, and it doesn’t matter whether anybody else hears it, or feels it at all. To us, fashion is death... the only way to survive is to be a hybrid, to do whatever you want to do.” -- Gene Simmons

I don't believe in creating something and trying to get everybody to buy it so you can make your quota for the season. I have utmost respect for designers that create astounding pieces of clothing mainly for the love of doing it. You can always tell when something is made "with love".
Peoples faces and everything that comes with them (buried lies, forgotten truths, cries for help, depression, self-hatred, self love, harrogance disguised as an illusion), painting faces just as a sculptor chisels detail and ridges into a statue, fancy makeup brushes that feel like silk, thick colors, bold colors, enhancing beauty, taking away beauty, inspiring people from deep within... shh ... no one has to know, manipulating simple items to create an aesthetically pleasing composition (chicken wire, nails, wood, mannequin parts), grossly thin things found in PEOPLE, frail items found in nature (branches, worms, spiderwebs, spider legs, baby animals), mannequins 33333, ventriloquist dolls whose eyes follow you, marionettes 3, marionette shows performed by my genius friend Rasputin, minstrel shows, fire manipulators, freaks, freak shows, vaudeville recreations, carnivals with tons of creepy carnies, "dark" circuses brought to you in part by demented artists, clowns, evil clowns, clown figurines, paintings of evil clowns with HUGE grins on their faces, big dark rich colored paintings, defects, geeks, little people, Pee Wee Herman, funhouses, magic shops 3, prop shops, Halloween stores are my FAVORITE!, thrift stores, underground tunnels, abandoned buildings, the smell of old and abandoned,The Standard Downtown LA, the nice part of Downtown LA, my two tiny turtles that never eat but are still alive (?), making clothes that are completely untraditoinal but very functional, modifying clothes, writing (or trying to at least), communicating in every way possible using a provocative tone of voice, traveling with no destination in mind, being lame, eating all the damn time, snowboarding even though it makes me miserable but sliding on snow is way too cool to pass up, longboarding {3 my Sector 9 & a skateboard by Draven Shoes that is shaped like a long black coffin}, kicking back, being alone, blackberry sage tea, crepes, industrial music and strobe lights is good for the eyesight when eyes are closed, trance-like music... not typical trance but trance with instruments from different cultures, clubs that aren't lame, parties with people I know 3, that type of love really good friends provide, not worryin about tomorrow cuz today is now and tomorrow is not guaranteed sucka, we just really really hope it is.

THE MORE YOU SUFFER FROM DEMENTIA, THE MORE I WANT TO HEAR YOUR STORY. REALLY. LET'S GET TOGETHER.

NO: EXTREMELY SELFISH, ARROGANT WITH NO GOOD REASON, KNOW-IT-ALLS...

JUST DON'T BUG EVERYBODY WITH IT), PEOPLE DOING NOTHING WITH THEMSELVES, IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE...
