About Amanda Blank:

Philadelphia born and bred, Amanda and her older sisters were raised in a row house in Germantown by artist ex-hippie parents. She quickly learned the value of individuality and the need for outspokenness. A quick glimpse at her interests conveys the dynamic nature of Amanda’s character, ranging from the radically raw to the sentimentally sweet. From her tastes in music (My Bloody Valentine, Man Man, Santigold, Antony and the Johnsons) to visual art (Jayson Musson, Aubrey Beardsley) to fashion (Ny Chorm), she gravitates from the sensual and shocking to the fun and absurdist.

Blank is a member of a loose collective of musicians that includes Spank Rock, Santigold, and Diplo. She takes the influences of 90’s R&B, 80’s dance, indie, new wave and brit pop and weaves them into her own double dutch, defiantly taking the rope out of the hands of haters and then hanging them with it. Whether set against a pastiche of club beats or with her stadium rock group Sweatheart, her voice is undeniably her own. 

Amanda took the world by storm with her contribution to the track “Bump” from Spank Rock’s 2006 breakout album (and Radiohead favorite) YoYoYoYoYo. Her verse is a serious exercise in lyrical acrobatics as she effortlessly runs circles around the beat. She’s just as at home collaborating with Ghostface Killah and M.I.A. as she is with Britney Spearson Eli Escobar and Doug Grayson’s remix of the hit single “Gimme More”. Her songs have appeared on the HBO series Life Support and Entourage as well as CBS television’s CSI:NY. Blank signed to Downtown Records in 2007 and released her debut, I Love You, on July 14, 2009. Amanda Blank is poised to take the pretty-people party national. –URB Magazine

Amanda Blanks Makeup

     I had another shoot with Amanda Blank yesterday, She is super sweet. I found out we know a bunch of the same people. Such a small world!  Anyway here are a couple pics below.

 
  
   The picture above was the inspiration of how the makeup should have been done for her photo shoot, Astrid sent this picture over to me, she told me to look for some more but I couldn’t find anything better than this.
    A defined line across her crease, winged out liner, blue eye shadow, red lip pencil, slightly colored in the lips, MOLE and to top it off some lashes I found downtown with Azelle, with gold corners! I think I got the look… SHE LOVED IT!
To get the full effect we teased her hair super super big!

Amanda Blank

My girl Astrid (stylist) called me to help her out with Amanda Blanks photo shoot yesterday for Vestal watches. We met at the detroit bar, and Astrid, Amanda and Caesar showed up in their classy Limo, haha it was pretty funny. Astrid unpacked all the clothes that were going to be used for the shoot and I couldn’t believe the items she had, where does she find this stuff??? They were amazing! If any of you know Astrid you all know that she has the dopest style. 

     Astrid and I use to go out all the time, back in the day when Nacional on a friday was cool, is nacional still open? Anyway when Astrid came in she ALWAYS had something crazy on, things that people would never be able to pull off but she did so its only natural that she would be an amazing stylist. Anyway I have some pictures of the items she used on Amanda. 
 Amanda is hilarious, her energy was great, even tho she has been on tour for 4 months with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and probably has not slept in days. I asked her how her show went at HARD and she told me that the fire marshals shut the whole thing down, WHAT!!! Can you believe that??? they had to kick 20,000 people out and give no one refunds all because there were kids that were jumping off these towers, ugh! that would make me so angry! these kids ruin it for the thousands of people that spent money on tickets. Anyway she said that these kids put a warehouse party together in a couple hours and she got to perform there. 
  So anyway she wanted crazy crazy makeup Long lashes top and bottom, winged out liner, white shadow, with a hint of reflects glitter from MAC, and of coarse my specialty, bright lips… She loved loved loved her make up, She said that if she could do her makeup on tour anyway it would be the way I did it for the shoot. Im meeting with her on tuesday to do another one of her shoots. ! YAY!

Her Album “I love you” just came out buy it from itunes!
