Thursday, October 18, 2012 Nasty Guys: Ladies & Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones
As much as we debate the impossible question, “Mick or Keith?”, there’s no way we could ever choose our favorite Rolling Stone. In the ’60s, the bad boy Brits hit the scene and they’ve pretty much ruled the world since. The notorious frontmen have spanned the decades, basically writing the book on how to be rock & roll gods…partying with Warhol at Studio 54 and marrying supermodels like Jerry Hall, not to mention making some of the greatest rock records ever. Keith has the “I don’t give a shit” attitude we love and Mick’s lips (alright, and his moves) still have us swooning. This year marked their 50th anniversary and since they just seem to get better with age, they’re hitting the stage to celebrate with a few exclusive shows in the UK and US, alongside the release of a new documentary, Crossfire Hurricane. Essentially, The Stones are not only rock royalty but will forever be the kings of cool.
Wednesday, August 15, 2012 Nasty Guys: Matt Dillon
The Outsiders is one of our ultimate ’80s flicks, mainly because it featured a particularly hot gang of greasers that included a young Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe. The babe that really stole our hearts, though, was Matt Dillon. The movie launched his career and we’ve been swooning over him (and those eyebrows!) ever since. Whether he’s shirtless, leather-clad or…um…shirtless, he’ll always be one of our favorite bad boys.
Thursday, August 2, 2012 Nasty Guys: Daniel Moon + Ramsell Martinez
Daniel and Ramsell first bonded over pizza while cutting 20 wigs to make KeSha’s dancers look like Kiefer Sutherland from The Lost Boys for the 2010 VMAs. She was performing as a final act and the duo was paired up to style hair for her 15 dancers. Needless to say, it was one crazy night and they’ve since became great friends, collaborators, and our go-to hair guys.
Even though Daniel’s a master of rainbow-fueled color and Ramsell has a less-is-more philosophy when it comes to hair, there’s no denying that they’re a dream team and the proof is in the pictures. Here’s a taste of what they’re up to when they’re not busy working their magic in our studio, from Daniel’s next-level dye jobs at Andy Lecompte Salon to Ramsell‘s styling for the likes of Dazed And Confused and Purple Magazine.
And now, tips from the pros:
Ramsell - “Finding a balance in what you’re comfortable with and what actually works for you is most important. If you have curly hair – enhance it. If you have straight hair – pin it with some bobby pins or just spray it with water. Keep it easy and set your own trend.”
Daniel - “I specialize in color that makes you feel. I pull my inspiration from people who see life in a colorful way. Don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun. Look at your hair as a blank canvas!”
Wednesday, July 18, 2012 Nasty Guys: Leonardo DiCaprio
When it comes to the topic of ’90s teen heartthrobs, there is no denying that our ultimate will forever be Leo. With bad boy good looks and legit acting chops, he totally stole our hearts in cult classics like This Boy’s Life, The Basketball Diaries, and Romeo + Juliet (seriously, can we talk about that underwater scene with Claire Danes?). Over a decade and a few Oscar nominations later, we still find ourselves swooning over his long blonde locks and, ugh, those lips. Leo, we’ll always love you…
Thursday, May 17, 2012 Nasty Guys: River Phoenix
While eating birthday cupcakes for breakfast this morning, talk naturally turned to our biggest childhood crushes. The one babe we could all agree upon was River Phoenix. Unlike many of the faces that graced Teen Beat back in the day (ahem, JTT), he was an award-winning actor, musician, and activist – not to mention, the eternal boy of our dreams.
