Halloween 2018: Glamorous

Image
Halloween doesn't always have to be hideous. We've found some glamorous ideas for your costumes this year!   We might as well start with the recently revealed first look at: Batwoman. Ruby Rose's portrayal as Batwoman will appear in crossover episodes of The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl this December. Later she'll embark on adventures in a series of her own. The blood-red detailing is perfect!  Ruby Rose - Batwoman We're sticking with a red theme. A simple yet effective costume for any woman. A red robe and white headpiece. "Under his eye," is the reminder that 'He' is watching your every do and say. This dystopian US future look is iconic. No forced surrogacy please!  Offred - The Handmaid's Tale Our final red pick is another superhero. We had been waiting 14 years for this summer blockbuster! Mrs Incredible is but another incredible choice of costume.  Elastigirl - The Incredibles 2 So we've giv...

Celebrity Men... As Women.

Image
Introducing the all new show... The Lady Boys of Hollywood!!  ....Joking, of course.  When we stumbled across these amazing photoshopped images of celebrity men transformed in to women we just HAD to share them. The likes of Daniel Craig, Robert Pattinson and even Hugh Heffner have been completely transformed in to an interesting and hilarious set of images channelling their inner Goddess. We can't help but think some of their new found femininity wouldn't look out of place on the Ladyboys of Bangkok tour ! Of course they would have to get their hands on a few more sequins and a touch more glitter to fit in properly with the line up, but there's definite potential there. {source} {source} {source} You can see the full gallery of made over celebrities by clicking here . Which star do you think carries off their male to female transformation the best?

LBOB x Stargazer Halloween Make Up Challenge - The Results!

Image
You've probably seen us mention over on the Lady Boys twitter account that we have teamed up with Stargazer Cosmetics to collaborate with some fabulous UK Beauty Bloggers for an all new make up challenge. Following the success of our last Lady Boys of Bangkok make up challenge, we've been itching to do another one ever since. Beauty Blogger's are the some of the most creative lovelies on the internet and the theme this time was Halloween! The glamorous results are in with a spooktacular array of skills on show: Jackie, wonder-vlogger from Sadlerette  kept it club kid cool with a sprinkle of colour: Thomas from Porcelaine D'Beau  looked stunning using a clash of pinks and purples: Phee from  Phee's Make Up Tips  channels her Poison Ivy alter ego in this pretty creation: Keeping it bold and simple is Kat from Tales of a Pale Face: And adding a sucker punch of glitz with this awe-inspiring head piece is Sera from  The Agorapho...

K-Beauty and....Snails?!

Image
Korean skincare products are huge in Thailand right now. From the revolutionary BB cream to lotions and potions containing extracts of SNAIL (yes, you read that correctly) the popularity of 'k-beauty' is growing by the day. Gone are the days when the 'western' look is desired by young female's (and males wanting to be females like our lady boys!) in Thailand. The new breed of fashion and beauty icon's include Korean actress, singer and model Yoon Eun-hye alongside the equally as desirable Korean actress Song Hye-kyo .  Snail has been an unlikely addition to beauty products for many years, dating back ancient Greece snail 'slime' was used to treat burns and other skin conditions. It seems in recent times there has been somewhat of a 'snail revival' with brands such as Skin79 using it in their BB creams and Dr Jart's Time Returning Serum which contains 77% Snail Mucin. There is also the increasingly (un)popular snail facial, wher...

Macadamia Oil - The Ultimate Hair Range!

Image
If you weren't already aware, the Ladyboys of Bangkok take their appearance very  seriously. They are always playing with the latest make up brands and trying out the latest trends. Despite wearing a wonderful array of wigs and hair pieces throughout some of the acts, the Lady Boys like to show off their natural locks as much as possible! When back in Thailand the Lady Boys of Bangkok often turn to the old favourite Coconut Oil and have been using it for many years on their hair and skin (it really is wonderful stuff!) but now and again they discover new products which give them such a dazzling result it's hard to look back! The Macadamia Natural Oil Range is a selection of those products which the Lady Boys now simply cannot put down! From root to tip, start to finish, there is a perfect product to keep hair in top condition.

A Different Kind of Beauty

Image
Whilst the Lady Boys are definitely not drag queens, we do appreciate a good makeover and support anyone who believes, like us, that they should have the right to define their own sexuality. Which is why we wanted to show you an exciting new art project Half-Drag: A Different Kind of Beauty  involving some famous New York queens , taking part as both their drag-act and as their male selves.

Travel Beauty Kit!

Image
You may have seen over on Twitter that the Lady Boys of Bangkok have finally landed in the UK! It was a relatively smooth journey from the homeland of Bangkok for the glamorous Lady Boys, and of course they packed their travel essentials - starting off with that all important make up bag! Obviously for performances the Lady Boys like to glam their look up with as much glitter, colour and wow factor as they can squeeze on to their beautifully contoured faces, but for a 12 hour+ flight it seems the lighter the make up, the better!  Here is a little wish list of the must haves for the gruelling journey: Kiko BB Compact Glow Benefit The Pore-fessional Look Beauty Stretch Factor Mascara ELF HD Blush *NEW* Benefit Fake Up Concealer We are lusting after each of these products to pop in our travel essential bag for a number of reasons. If you're out and about for hours on end then Benefit Porefessional is the  must have to prepare your skin for the day ahea...

Rihanna for MAC!

Image
We all knew it was only going to be a matter of time before MAC cosmetics teamed up with the pop power that is Rihanna . And now we have our sneaky paws on one of the first images to be released from the forthcoming collection for 2013! Like most things to do with Ri Ri though, opinion seems to be divided as to whether or not the range is a hit, miss or maybe! What do you think? Whilst we absolutely adore the shade of that lipstick and the look of the rose gold packaging, we can see why some may be a little undecided about the range. The baby pink adds a slight edge of fun to the range though which makes us think of how fun loving and free Rihanna can be (ooh we're poets!) but the metallic casing also adds a touch of maturity to the aesthetic qualities of the packaging design. Apparently this is just a snippet of 4 mini collections Rihanna is set to release with MAC , so we can't wait to check out more! We're wondering if Rihanna will be playing on her alter ego...

Paul & Joe Pretties

Image
So you might have seen on the Ladyboys of Bangkok Facebook page that due to our concerns with recent trademark issues with "Fifty Shades" we have taken the decision to rename this year's tour "Glamorous Amorous" instead. Just like we protect our brands we must duly respect others doing the same. Rest assured this will not compromise any of this year's show which promises to be our best yet. Rehearsal's are currently underway in Bangkok and everyone is getting really excited...so looking forward to the opening in Derby! In the meantime though, we are still compiling our wish lists and mood boards to polish off the shows aesthetic wonderment! Today we are eyeing up the beautiful collections from Paul & Joe ; a French brand which is the epitome of quirk, cute and charm alongside providing the some of the highest quality clothing and make up products available! From their cat shaped lipsticks which are almost too precious to use, to the candy colo...

A Rose By Any Other Name....

Image
We love to think outside of the box here are Gandey World Class Productions and with shows such as the Chinese State Circus and the Lady Boys of Bangkok, is it any wonder?! With Valentines Day coming up we thought we'd get a head start on the celebrations by sharing our most lusted after items for 2013! The theme of roses and femininity reign supreme in all things Valentines, but we can't take flowers on tour with us, so let's celebrate the romantic essence of the Rose in all it's other glorious forms. From make up to mugs, the versatility of the rose can be incorporated into many gift idea's for Valentines Day this year! ''A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.'' 1.  Amber and Silver Rose Brooch 2.  NYX Rose Bouquet Lipstick 3.  Butler & Wilson Rose Necklace 4. Sleek Rose Gold Blusher 5.  Cath Kidston Rose Mug There's pretty much an item to suit any budget in in our little selection above. From the colourfu...

Fifty Shades of Pink With MAC

Image
As you may have heard through our incessant excitement, the Lady Boys of Bangkok   are back with a new show for 2013, entitled Fifty Shades of Pink .  We love a good excuse to give this illustrious colour the lime light and what better place to start than with pink themed make up. We found a wonderful collection of MAC lipsticks that certainly get us in the mood for glamming ourselves up on tour!  The stunning  Nicki Minaj VIVA GLAM Satin Lipstick in Bright Pink is a particular favourite from the range of shades available, and proceeds even go to a very good cause! Viva Glam Nicki is a stunningly powerful shade just like the woman herself. Another favourite is the seductive shade 'Scarlet Ibis' from the Marilyn Collection; a beautiful deep pinkish red tone, perfect for an evening look. There are so many variations on this wonderful colour we can't wait to take it from day to night in our new tour! Viva la Fifty Shades of Pink!
