The art of ecstasy unfolds asAnna Clevelandtakes us ‘Back In the Lime Light’ byMert MarcusforW Magazine, September 2015. While pop was prevalent, the other side of the 80’s was an extreme scene. An ode to New York’s infamous club, TheLimelight. Debauchery defined,Clevelandand her couture cronies party like it’s 1989. Rich with authentic imagery this story projects a sense of chaotic poignancy. The place is poppin’ withAmber Valletta,Miley Cyrus,Molly Bair,Anna Ewers,Daria Strokous,Karolin Wolter,Pyper America,Saskia DebrauwandAsia Chow.

Shadows scream as (Makeup Artist)Yadimholla’s out to the height of the 80’s. Beauty blasts off leaving blue to light up the eyes and red to rile up the lips. Blending is boring, to wear your colors proud is a mark of lustful longings. Yellow races across the face followed by a trail of brightness to amp things up. Straight brows loom overhead saying goodbye to the arch and embracing the edge. Hairstylist,Shay Ashual, pays homage to the era by giving the girls bangin’ dews ripe with a retro flavor.Preparing to preen was part of the scene, but walking the walk let you live the dream.
