Eva Salvail, Bald Model With Tattoo On Scalp – ’90s
Photos by Unknowns
Suddenly, out of the blue, this 2015 blog got 531 Page Views on my website, so I am reposting it! In the ’90s, Eva Salvail was a hot model, shocking everyone with her head shaved bald and a Chinese dragon tattooed on her scalp. The French-Canadian model walked the runways for top European fashion designers, first discovered by Jean-Paul Gaultier. And appeared in movies, including- Pret-a-Porter (1994) … Unzipped (1995) .. The Fifth Element I1997.) In 1995 or 1996, she was modeling in a fashion show at The United Nations for which the legendary John Sahag did the hair, and I was photographed (bottom right) with Eva – who had some hair at the time. Now she is also known as DJ Evalicious, with her head shaved bald, or hair dyed pink or blonde, and you might see her in the booths of hot clubs in New York, Miami, Chicago or LA.
CommentBridal Look Inspired by Vintage – 2015

A modern bridal look inspired by a vintage bride and some classic ’40s shapes, by Gay Dering, Beauty Kasbah. “The hair in the back was placed into an asymmetrical pony that was then shaped into a large smooth roll,” said the hairdresser, who rolled and pinned the opposite front side to allow some loose curls to fall forward. She then added a net, and some flowers to add some extra romance. For more wedding hair inspirations, click HERE

January 2. We remember John Sahag’s birthday. The legendary John Sahag is missed. Sadly missed. There was no one like him. His work has stood the test of time, not dated. He was tomorrow’s man, into the 21st century in the 20th. How easy it is to forget that he did this first, before anyone else. and that, and that too.
Here he is standing proudly with some of his work in a photo for a New York Magazine article on the launch of his first Workshop, late 1985. For more about John Sahag The Man, click this album

The neon plastic chains and the baubles bobbing here and there were as colorific as you can get. A shoe-in for the most eccentric footwear at the shows, the Libertine designer, Johnson Hartig with stylist Maryann Malakpour, also showed women’s shoes equally as fab.

CommentCharlize Theron Mad Max – 2013-2016
Collage by helenoppenheim.com
I first posted Charlize Theron in “Mad Max Fury Road” October 2013, then again when it was belatedly released on May 15, 2014. Here I am posting it again because the movie got so many Oscar nominations today. And can be seen on HBO tonight. Here is my post.
Movie Actress, Oscar-winner Charlize Theron and her hair over the years from long to mid to bald to short buzzed with (omg, top right) grey showing to a short crop growing out beautifully.
She shaved her hair bald for the new fourth “Mad Max” movie, “Fury Road” – due May 15 with Tom Hardy as Mad Max, the role Mel Gibson originated. She plays Furiosa in the Australian Warner Bros movie which has taken a while to arrive. (This collage and story were first posted on Helen’s Blog in October 2013!)
No wigs for Charlize. Most of us first saw her cropped hair after the Mad Max shave at the 2013 Oscars, with Charlize looking magnificent, a hot standout, but here are some earlier photos. We also remember her from past Oscars, red carpets, the great J’Adore Dior Perfume Ads and we’ve always thought her beautiful, even bald.
