Fabulous Fallon...

I wanted to introduce you all to my fabulous friend Miss Fallon Dee...  I have known Fallon now for nearly a decade, we've not only been great friends but have worked together on many exciting jobs.  The main reason i'm including her is to do with my feature on Burlesque.  If i'm writing about something I like to have first hand knowledge from someone in the business. Fallon has been a dancer since she was three years old and has become very successful in her field.  Her dream job began when she won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dance.  From there the jobs have been endless, she has danced at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, she was in the Hurly Burly show on the West End which then went on a world tour, she has been a back-up dancer for many artists including Take That at Wembley and Justin Timberlake and these are just a handful of the many exciting things she's done.   Throughout her busy schedule for the past 10 years Fallon has also had an interest in the art of Burlesque.  She is a regular at London's Wam Bam club and does many t.v and professional appearances as part of the IT girls including dancing at all Sir Richard Branson's private parties.

I began working with Fallon after we became friends.  Back in the Noughties she was involved in a girl group called Candyshop.  I was in charge of styling the hair for the whole band.  I used to style and attend all their gigs, promos and shoots.  After that I have and still continue to do hair for Fallon on many shoots.  I wanted to show you all some of the work we have done together and some of the fun we've had along the way at festivals and gigs (haha)...

As Fallon does lots of work in fashion, music and entertainment I always value her opinion.  She has a great sense of personal style and is not afraid to push the boundaries at all with fashion and make-up looks.  I wanted to interview her to see what she finds hot and what her must-haves are...

Kieran:  Where do you look to for style inspiration?

Fallon:  I'm a mixer babe, I love rummaging through the markets in Camden and I love a charity shop.  Always been a fan of Miss Moss, I love high-end brands and high street.  So everywhere really.

K:  What do you love about your job?

F:  I love that it's different everyday, I never know where i'm waking up next.  I love seeing amazing places.  I feel very lucky everyday.

K:  What drew you to Burlesque?

F:  One of my first jobs was part of the dance troupe at Moulin Rouge in Paris.  I lived there for two years and went on a world tour with the show.  I loved the freedom of expression and I love getting my kit off! In a classy way of course darling! (hahaha she laughs) The fascination went from there i suppose, I got a part on the west end a few years ago in the Hurly Burly show and I've performed Burlesque ever since.

K:  What three fashion or beauty items can't you live without?

F:  I don't wear a lot of make-up when i'm not working really.  I love a great hat or headpiece, I love my perfumes, I'm wearing Coco Chanel now and I love a bit of a tutu for a good night dancing!
