Description

Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it. (Tallulah Bankhead)Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it. (Tallulah Bankhead) This quote, and the resulting collage, gestures toward the unattainable nature of performance and the magic of irreproducible presence. There are moments when even the actor cannot fully return to themselves as they once appeared. These freeze frames capture a singular expression of personality, a moment suspended in time, unreachable even to the star herself.

Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it. (Tallulah Bankhead)

This quote, and the resulting collage, gestures toward the unattainable nature of performance and the magic of irreproducible presence. There are moments when even the actor cannot fully return to themselves as they once appeared. These freeze-frames capture a singular expression of personality, a moment suspended in time, unreachable even to the star herself.

Part of the series "Come Up and See Me Sometime"

This series sources images from the Golden Age of Hollywood as its starting point, reconfiguring them into composite figures that are titled with quotes from the famous female stars who inspired them.

I used Mae West as the central muse for the series because of her consummate wit, refreshing candor, and unapologetic glamour. By intermingling hairstyles, suits, heels, derbies, and gowns, I created unions of opposites, combining masculine and feminine codes, and the fairy dust of Hollywood’s golden aura with its constructed artifice.

The heyday of Paramount Studios radiated glamour and effortless style through seemingly blemish-less beings. The siren song of that era still exerts its charm through time, echoed in these reassembled stills. The collages create an alternate nostalgia and serve as an homage to the actresses who secured their place in a male-dominated industry through force of character, intelligence, and talent.

Select works were enlarged as wall decals within the exhibition space at Paramount Studios (2015) to emphasize the bigness of personality that defined that world, and how we are starstruck (or dazzled) by it.

Just buy it
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am not even sure I want to do this review because this might mean this product gets sold out. But I wont gate-keep. Get it. This has changed the game with my skin care. I use it twice a day and let me tell you, the compliments I get are incredible. It is not greasy at all, absorps quickly, super light weight and does not irritate my skin. My skin is glass smooth. I have bought this for everyone in my life. Male and Female. I use it, let it dry then add moisturizer or sunscreen.

Works well with others!
Size: 2.03 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Initially and by itself, I really didn’t see any changes to my face that made me confident with this product. But now that I have a skin routine, I think it works well! Now I like it and I see changes. But alone or with few products, I’m not sure how effective it is!

Decrease in black heads. Smoother skin!
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve never used such a great pore minimizer for this reasonable of a price. I love how smooth and clean it makes my face feel. I’ve been using it twice a day after cleansing my skin. Noticeable difference in visible pores and decrease in black heads on my nose and chin. Highly recommend!! Come on with this price, you have nothing to lose.

Serum does not work to reduce pore size
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
While this serum does somewhat smooth skin it does absolutely nothing to reduce pore size which is primarily genetic and is resistant to most products. Not worth the money.

Helped Tighten My Skin & Minimize Pores
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule, Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’ve loved the Dr. Melaxin Cyano Pink Spicule Serum! The bottle is small, but it lasted me around 6 months since I only use one pump every other night. When I first started using it, I noticed a tingling sensation, but over time my skin adjusted and I barely notice it now. I’ve definitely seen my pores appear smaller and my skin feels tighter and smoother after using it.
