While doing a little research for my upcoming album cover shoot, I’ve been scouring my surroundings for a little inspiration. The other weekend, while vinyl-hunting in the city, I came across this incredible Betty Davis album cover:
It was then that it hit me: Betty Davis was totally the 70s funk/rock/soul Black Girl version of today’s Lady Gaga.
Let’s look at the similarities: Betty Davis and Gaga are both revolutionary in every way: their music is edgy but both their STYLES are avant-garde, playful, funky, sexy, but always with an attitude. (and in Betty Davis’ case…SOULFUL)
I think Betty Davis is the ultimate Style Muse.
Is it just me who sees the similarities between the two??? 
What do you guys think? Don’t you agree that Betty Davis is a fabulous Style Muse??

I love the photos of Betty Davis..I’m curious now. the photos are amazing.good luck with your shoot. I last met you at the FNO unveiling @soho. We were talking about nails. I have my sakura on too. lol We also know each other from work, I work for ____ too, in the field tho. I manage a downtown store… anyways. Check out my blog on wordpress…. Its got my latest sakura style, which is hotness. It involves antique reflect gold glitter and gradient stylings!!! lol I’m such a geek about this.. ttyl….Kat
GURL…those nails are HAWT!!!!!!
I’m going tomorrow night to get my new set. Did you use a pigment on them for the gradation?
I used a pigment.. I used Reflects gold glitter on the gradation… I am debating on what to get next tho. I love your rainbow style. I think I get tired of it after 2 weeks and that’s not good, bc they’re too expensive.. lol
OOOH – LOVE Pigment. Was thinking of trying one of the Marilyn Minter Makeup Art Cosmetics Glitters one of these days!!! I get tired of the design too, but I LOVE that I never have to worry about chipping!!
I think the Fuschia glitter would be way sick, but then I’m partial to the color… or the dark blue/green in some kind of gradation.I love calgel. its amazing, esp since my hands are always in someone’s face. They’re totally presentable. but it’s an expensive habit. lol I totally want a new style each week.. is that normal?? the options are limitless.. lol
