Nicole Scherzinger Born in June 1978, Nicole Prescovia Elikolani Valiente in Honolulu, Hawaii, Nicole Scherzinger was born to a father of Filipino descent and a mother who is half Russian and half Hawaiian. Although her parents split when she was a baby, Nicole had a good upbringing with her maternal side of the family who moved to Kentucky when she was six. Her mother remarried a German American named Gary Scherzinger and Nicole took his surname after he adopted her. The singer had a love of music from an early age and has since stated that although her family did not have a lot of money; it is with her mother’s love and support that she has become successful. Scherzinger attended the Youth Performing Arts School at a young age and soon began performing with the Actors Theatre of Louisville, showing a talent and flair that is present in her endeavours today. Even as a teenager in 1996, she was the first runner-up at the Kentucky State Fair’s Coca-Cola Talent Classic contest. 6
Following Performing Arts School, Nicole headed to college where she majored in musical theatre, taking the lead roles in both Chicago and Show Boat. During her time at college she began singing for the rock band Days of the New, but after two years and some creative differences with the band, she left. In 2001, Scherzinger auditioned for the reality television show Popstars, performing Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You which got rave reviews from the judges. She, and four other girls, won a part in the band Eden’s Crush which was created from the show and the group went on to have a top 10 hit as well as touring with N’Sync and Jessica Simpson.
During this time, Will.I.Am approached Scherzinger to become a member of his band The Black Eyed Peas as the lead singer, but boyfriend at the time, who was also a singer, told her to decline as he wanted to make her a solo star. Fergie later took the position with The Black Eyed Peas. Later that same year, Eden Crush’s record company went bankrupt forcing the band to split and the girls all parted ways. Fearful not to come out of the spotlight, Nicole performed under the stage name Nicole Kea, recording music for the film 50 First Dates as well as singing with Japanese rock band Yoshiki and the Tokyo Symphonic Orchestra. In 2003, Nicole joined the burlesque troupe The Pussycat Dolls, when they were re-cast as recording artists alongside Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton and Kimberly Wyatt. Her first songs with the band were for the movie soundtracks for Shark Tale and Shall We Dance and in September 2005 the group released their first album PCD which combined their burlesque style and a dance-pop sound. The album did very well making the top 10 in the US, Canada, the UK and many other European countries. Since the album’s release it has sold 10 million copies worldwide. The first single from the album Don’t Cha became number one in many countries and became one of the best-selling singles of all time with over six million sold.
After the success of the album the group toured with both Christina Aguilera and The Black Eyed Peas and were also nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Performance By a Duo or Group. Their second album was released in 2008 and it’s success lead the girls to begin their Doll Domination world tour in early 2009. They were supported in the UK leg by both Lady Gaga and Ne-Yo. 7

In 2010 Nicole decided to leave the group to pursue a solo career and, as she had featured on many other artists’ songs during her time with the Pussycat Dolls, she was known for her strong solo voice. However, her first foray on her solo career did not fare very well with both the debut and second single failing to reach the top 20 in the Billboard charts. It was at her request that the album, Her Name is Nicole, was eventually shelved and Nicole took a break from singing. Already known for her dancing talent from The Pussycat Dolls, it was also in 2010 that she became a contestant on the 10th season of Dancing With the Stars. Partnered with talented dancer Derek Hough, Nicole later went on to win the show which re-boosted her career and status in the US. Later that year she took a guest judge spot on The X Factor in the UK and has since been credited with the formation of the boy band One Direction - it was her idea to put them together.
She returned to The X Factor during the live shows where she performed her debut single from her album Killer Love which was well received by the viewing public and peaked at number 3 in the UK charts.
With the success of her guest judging on The X Factor UK, Nicole was signed up to join the judging panel for The X Factor US in the first season in 2011. She also released Killer Love in the US during this time and enjoyed much success there with the album. It was when shooting the video for one of the singles on the album, Try With Me, that Nicole and her team were held hostage by a local gun wielding gang in the Xilitla rainforest in Mexico – luckily they were let go unharmed. After one series Nicole left The X Factor US to undertake her first solo tour, but she missed her judging role and later signed onto The X Factor UK with a £750,000 contract for the 9th series. She mentored the boys category and was the first mentor ever to see all of her group in the final, with two acts coming runner-up and winner that year. Pleased with her success Nicole was offered another contract to be on the judging panel this year and will receive a pay rise of £1.5 million.
Her second single in the UK, Don’t Hold Your Breath topped the charts giving Nicole her first solo number 1. 9

Aside from music, Nicole has made her mark on television and on the big screen - featuring in How I Met Your Mother and My Wife and Kids as well as the films, Love Don’t Cost a Thing and Men In Black 3.
Nicole has also contributed a lot to various charities and alongside many other things, has lent her voice to the charity single for Help For Haiti 2010, has participated in many Comic Relief events, and has contributed to human trafficking charities. She has also spent much time in the pages of newspapers and magazines due to her high profile relationship with F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. The pair began dating in 2008 but split in 2010, only to get back together in 2011. However, the pair finally called it a day in July of this year.
Nicole has steadily but surely made her mark in the music industry and will undoubtedly continue to do for years to come. Although over the next few months she will be using her mentoring skills on The X Factor, a new single and perhaps album will certainly be hitting the charts soon. 11
Live
The Rat Pack Live – with a vocal and visual delivery that has to be seen and heard to be believed, Martin Joseph (Frank Sinatra), Dave Lee (Dean Martin) and Thomas Henry (Sammy Davis Jnr) effortlessly recreate the style, elegance and “pizzazz” of the las Vegas “Rat Pack” era.
The Rat Pack Live show has been wowing crowds for the past five years at high-quality venues, and events throughout Europe. For the most authentic reproduction of the three biggest Las Vegas Legends, look no further! Check out their website for a full listing of where they are performing along the coast. Lifestyle Magazine brings you an interview with Dave, Martin and Tommy... show was coming to a close and formed a new show with our present line-up. We are all from different backgrounds and so it’s quite a coincidence that we all ended up together.
What kind of music do you listen to today?
When did you first start singing?
Dave: I first started singing in the school choir when I was 10 years old but came from a very musical family. Consequently I was surrounded by music from birth. By the age of 15 I had my own pop group and was learning to play guitar. Martin: I sang as a teenager in bands but then didn’t sing for about 25 years when I started performing as Frank in 1998.
Tommy: I have been in the entertainment business for most of my life. After having enjoyed some success in the record industry in the early nineties, I went on to play Prince in the Purple Reign Tribute, which successfully toured for 8 years in the UK, Germany and Spain.
How did you get started as a group? We came together about 5 years ago as a previous Rat Pack
Dave: I like all kinds of music…. pop, classical, standards, and jazz. Martin: Anything good! I still listen to Frank a lot, as a) it’s great music and b) I don’t like to “drift away” from the original phrasing and delivery – it has to sound right! Tommy: Soul, R & B and Funk.
Before coming to Spain, where did you perform?
Dave: I have performed all over the world in various types of venues… UK, America, Dubai, philippines, Germany and Europe in general. My greatest fulfilment was working with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra on the Royal Variety show at the London Palladium.
Martin: England, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the USA – in Palm Springs, Las Vegas and New York. Tommy: All over Europe
tremendously talented brothers from Malaga – Jesus & Paco Leon. The first single is “Different Worlds” – look out for it, it’s going to be big!
Where was the first place (Spain or, restaurant or bar, etc) that you ever performed as a group?
Our first gig together was at the Atalaya Park Hotel in Benahavis with the Marbella Big Band.
Where do you perform weekly on the coast?
As well as our European gigs, we play anywhere from Gibraltar to Nerja. Our monthly performances are too numerous to list here – but you can get a full gig listing on our web site: www.theratpacklive.com
What music can’t you stand to listen to? Dave: C…rap and house and electronic garbage. Martin: House/Garage etc – anything that sounds like someone has their finger stuck in a drum machine! You listen to Cole Porter’s lyrics and Nelson Riddle’s arrangements and you understand why this music stands the test of time and will last forever. Tommy: Anything without soul.
Who are your inspirations?
If you weren’t singing, what would you be doing?
Dave: If I wasn’t singing I would be playing golf or dead… singing is my life Martin: I would be a helicopter pilot (OK I made that bit up!) Tommy: Is there anything else other than singing?
Dave: Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, Matt Monroe, Pavarotti. Martin: Frank Sinatra, Matt Monroe, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt Tommy: Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Prince
What interests do you have apart from singing? Dave: Playing golf, DIY and travelling. Martin: Cooking, travelling, writing – everything creative. I am totally the wrong guy for gardening and DIY! Tommy: Sleeping and being late (Martin & Dave wrote that!) Real Tommy: Writing music – I am currently finishing an album of my own music with two
Who are your favourite bands/singers?
Dave: Take That, Drifters, Luther Van Dross Martin: Stevie Wonder, Michael Macdonald, Del Amitri, Eagles Tommy: Earth Wind & Fire, Isley Brothers
What do you think about when your performing?
Dave: When your performing you have to think about the way the show is going, the audience reaction, the lyrics, most important the way you come over to the audience as a tribute artiste. It must be as authentic as possible. Martin: Audience contact and delivery – the song’s meaning, you have to feel it and they have to feel it. Curiously we rarely think about what each other is doing – the show is now so polished we just play our own parts. Tommy: I think about Sammy Davis – posture, performance and energy, energy, energy.
What is coming up for you in the future?
We are very excited about our up-coming 5-date tour in Ireland, starting on 23rd October. We play the first night in an amazing burlesque cabaret club in Belfast called AM/PM and then we head to Dublin for 4 nights culminating in the Royal Hotel, Bray on Sunday 27th. We played there in March on St Patrick’s Day and it was amazing! We also may be heading to Dubai over the Christmas period and we have interest from several cruise companies for the January to April period next year. It’s all good – we’re livin’ it and lovin’ it!
Frank Skott Frank Skott is an R&B singer-songwriter who lives in Casares, here on the coast. He started his professional singing career in 2000, and has performed all over the world since then. The summer is prime show time, and Frank is performing so much at the moment that studio time is hard to come by, but his third album is currently underway! Frank is currently looking for more venues, for now you can see him at: Saturdays: Frank Skott ‘Live & Loungin’ at the Robin Hood Inn, Estepona. 8.30pm. Sundays: Frank Flavour Sundays at Nufluid, Elviria. 8.00pm.
What is your full name?
My full name is Francis Peter Skott Noakes. I guess you can see now why Frank Skott is easier!
Do you have a stage name? No. Just my name. I did try calling myself Skott Francis a while back, but it doesn’t take you too long to realise that, when you’re unsigned, it doesn’t really matter what you call yourself.
Where are you originally from?
Norway and Denmark and Scotland. And Spain, of course. And with luck, I haven’t finished yet!
When did you first start singing?
I was very young, I remember that. But professionally, I started out in 2000, so this will be my 14th year as a singer/songwriter.
How did you get started in this profession?
I think singing is something you just know you want to do, and you have to be that clear in your convictions because it’s not easy. I came out of Uni, and immediately put some demos together for an EPK, which got me started with my first manager.
I was born in Denmark to a Danish mum and a Spanish dad.
How long have you lived in Spain?
Most of my life, with frequent and sometimes very long periods away.
Where else in the world have you preformed?
The Isle Of Man, Costa Rica, the USA, England, France, Sweden, 14
Before coming to Spain, where did you live and perform?
I started out on the working men’s club circuit in the north of England before I got signed to Universal in 2005. After that whole ordeal, I came back to Spain to live and also perform, but still carried on travelling.
Where was the first place you sang, in the UK and here in Spain?
In the UK, I remember my first gig being at the local working men’s club in the village of Silsden, near Leeds. And here in Spain, I think it was the Los Naranjos Golf Club on the Costa Del Sol. Two very different venues, I assure you! There’s no rhyme or reason which dictates the venues you can find yourself in. And no telling what can happen. It’s part of what I love about the job.
Have you ever tried a talent competition like X factor?
Where else have you lived? Are you ready? South Africa, the Isle Of Man, Los Angeles, England, Northern Ireland and France. I guess I´m a nomad. I can’t help it!
sister Janet. BoyzIIMen, Jazmine Sullivan, Usher, Jamie Woon, D’Angelo, Angie Stone, etc etc.
What kind of music do you listen to today?
Pretty much nothing but RnB and some of the old Soul legends. Stevie Wonder and Babyface are two of my favourites, along with Michael Jackson and his
I did try the one in London once. I’ll be honest, I just lost patience. I’d been at the first round at the O2 centre since 5.30am. and by 8.30pm there were still about 6000 people ahead of me. I just got fed up and hungry and left. I didn’t like what I saw either. But hey, that’s television I guess.
Would you consider going on one?
Who are your favourite bands/singers?
I might try The Voice. I think that one is for people who aren’t afraid to admit they take what they do seriously. I don’t know though. We’ll see.
Where do you perform weekly on the coast?
At the moment I can be found every Saturday evening at the Robin Hood Inn, between Guadalmina and Estepona, from 8.30pm. And then I’m at Nufluid in Elviria, right opposite the Don Carlos Hotel, and that one starts at 8pm. There should be more coming up in September. This coast is still getting used to RnB music, so it’s taking a while, but I’m getting there.
What is your Facebook page?
Well, there’s my personal one and my band page. I guess you just type my name in the Facebook search bar and both will show up! Beware of clones though! My band page has more info about me as a singer, as well as some songs available for downloading.
If you weren’t singing, what would you be doing?
As a kid I wanted to be a game ranger in Africa somewhere, looking after millions of acres of wild land with nothing more than a plane, a LandRover and a rifle. Chasing off poachers, falling asleep to the sounds of the savannah. Looking at it now, I’m also glad I can sing!
What interests do you have apart from singing?
Well, obviously there’s the writing and recording side of it all. I love all that stuff, it’s very hard to get me out of the studio, or to get me to leave when there’s a writing session going on and grooves are jumping out all over the place. Then there’s the fitness training. And driving is another great passion of mine. I have a great interest in eating huge
amounts of food as well. I like reading, watching movies, all the usual stuff. And I love having a get together in the kitchen with friends, and just talking crap and eating good food and having a good time. I left all the mad extreme stuff behind, I’m trying to be a grown up now.
Do you play any instruments?
I’d say just enough basic keyboard and guitar to rough out a basic song structure. Nothing more than that.
What genre of music can’t you stand to listen to? Or sing?
I guess all that Screamo, thrash metal, mosh pit madness isn’t my favourite. Or that seriously empty computer generated house music you hear for hours on end these days. Or some really heavy operas. But I can appreciate the musicianship involved in all of them.
Who are your inspirations? Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, first and foremost. Whatever happened, those two between them have changed music in more ways than can be imagined. And Usher and Jazmine Sullivan who I think, personally, are the best male and female vocalists alive today.
Stevie, Michael, Jazmine, Usher, Beyonce and James Arthur, to start with. Bands, I’m not too sure of. I like some of the Kings Of Leon stuff, they just have something about their songwriting that I love, and I like the singers’ voice. Oh, and I think Pink has a good voice. D’Angelo is one of my favourite all rounders of all time. He plays like four hundred instruments, writes, produces and performs pretty much everything he does, and some of his songs are pretty much perfect. He’s still not touching Stevie Wonder, but he’s close.
What do you think about when your performing?
I try to put myself inside each and every song when I’m singing them. It’s a nice way to pass the gig, to take yourself through the same emotional journey you’re taking the audience through.
What else can we expect from you in the future?
Right now I’m working on my 3rd album, which I’m really excited about. And just continuing promoting the first 2 albums which is a non stop part of the job. And then just carrying on trying to get the name out there, which is really what it’s all about. It’s going well though. On Wednesday night I put on my first solo original concert here on the Coast, in Casares. It went really well, and I was flattered as hell to see how many people came to listen to my own music. It was a fantastic night, and the venue was stunning as well. I was supported by the local town hall, and I think I was very lucky to have so much support behind me for that night. I’m really looking forward to the next one like that.
Do you have any celeb crushes?
We all do, right! I think Jessica Biel is gorgeous! And Salma Hayek. 15

David Mairs I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since my family and I set off for the Costa del Sol but they say time flies when you’re enjoying yourself, and what a journey it’s been. Up till then I’d been playing piano/ organ, in Scotland, with one of the top bands and toured, as support, with some of the big name bands in the business at the time, such as The Searchers, The Easybeats, The Tremolos, The Move, Love Affair, Edison Lighthouse etc. Those were great days in the late 60s and early 70s and the music scene was buzzing. Shortly after we arrived in Fuengirola I met Mel Williams, a legend on the Costa with whom I had the pleasure of working for 4 years. What a character and a talented entertainer/song writer. Together we worked on too many projects to mention from regional and national television to producing stage shows. I loved every minute of it and learned a lot from a master of his craft.
The Regional TV studio is where I met Maurice Bolland, a broadcaster and entertainer from Ireland. He presented the “Late Late Breakfast Show” where I met and had the pleasure of playing with such big name stars as Lonny Donegan, Mike McGear, Linda Nolan and Faith Brown to name but a few. What a blast that was. Later I took on the position of resident musician at the prestigious Restaurant Mijas Playa in La Cala de Mijas where I continued to meet some of the most fascinating people from all walks of life and regularly played for stars from the sporting, music and TV world. It was great, and occasionally nerve racking to sing “love is all Around” to the man who wrote and sang the original song, Reg Presley, sadly no longer with us, or “We don’t talk Anymore” to Cliff himself.
My life took another direction when I met artist/composer/writer Dario Poli, another Scot but, as you might know with a name like that, of Italian decent. A truly fascinating character, an intellectual actually and who never ceases to surprise me. Together we’ve produced a CD of original songs celebrating life on the Costa del Sol. Two of which, “Corazon” and “You’re Beautiful”, are the official songs on the “Children For Peace “, a prestigious charity based in Italy, web site. At present Dario and I are working on a new Musical based on the city of Amsterdam. A story of love, fate, intrigue and great music (a completely unbiased opinion you understand) Looking forward to the next part of the journey. Who knows? David

An exciting new musical Two composers, Dario Poli and David Mairs, who make things happen with their original style and magic of their catchy music and arrangements, both originate from Scotland and have been residents on the Costa del Sol for many years.
David and Dario’s latest work, from which has come the new single “Amsterdam I Am”, is an exciting stage musical linking the cities of Amsterdam and Marbella and is set in the beautiful Dutch City of Amsterdam. A touching and complex tale of romance, twists of fate and feel good music from Flamenco to Celtic. No matter what your age, this production is sure to bring a smile to your face. Dario and David are already receiving interest from people in Holland who are intrigued to know more about this project and Dario is heading out this week, to Holland, for meetings with the relevant professionals to discuss the production of this musical in Amsterdam. This follows on from their successes with the wellpublicised “Marbella Marbella” campaign and the song “Corazon”. Tenor, Stephen Lloyd-Morgan said, “Corazón can simply be described as a superb and appropriate ‘anthem’ for The Children for Peace Charity; memorable, upbeat and inspiring, rolled into one. Congratulations!” –and David’s own composition, “You’re Beautiful, a sure hit waiting to be discovered” was one of many positive comments. Both songs were written for the
International UNESCO recognised charity based in Rome, and highly praised by Debbie Mace and Lamia Khashoggi, the President and Vice-President of the prestigious charity who have featured Dario and David’s songs with videos on their official website. Dario has recently been back in contact with Eric Holzhauer, the Dutch owner of Radio Sun FM in Spain, who supported their original campaign for Marbella, and regularly played the Marbella song writing “Let’s make your song the official song of Marbella.” Dario is particularly thrilled with the reception they’re having, as it was in the Amsterdam that his dramatic musical drama “Lady X and The Power of Destiny” (loosely based on the late Princess Diana which was recorded and produced in Dublin) is legally represented,
David and Dario are confident that their new musical will play a useful and positive role in a cultural exchange, through their music, between these two cosmopolitan cities.

Journeys Peter Stanway
Peter Stanway’s life has been made up of a series of fantastic journeys some of which have been scarcely believable, others mind-blowing all of them life-changing. Stanway has travelled the world and gained insight and experiences that have made him the intriguing man that he is today. His journeys continue and so too do the changes, more subtle now and less extreme. Both time and maturity have become key elements on Stanway’s life journey, however, they serve to add a richness and depth that only they can bring; as they would with a well-seasoned Stradivarius. Stanway is letting his artist loose. He absolutely believes that every single human being has an artist inside that’s just waiting to be identified and released. It is part of our DNA, he believes, and, once discovered, we will not only find great satisfaction but fulfilment 22

book in various hotels. Dates and locations to be announced.
Glasgow born artist, Peter Stanway, recently put together an exciting and inspiring collection of artwork from pieces that he has been working on for the past year. In total, there are twenty-seven images. Stanway has sent them on a journey.
‘Runway’ “Who has passed this way? It was you and me, on a journey. Read the signs, they tell a tale. Did we go far or stay close by? Distance is not the issue, neither is destination. Where did we go on our journey, did we ever arrive? I hope so.”
For some, their journey began in Mijas Town Hall, others have journeyed to exhibitions in Frankfurt, Paris and Madrid. Happily, there is currently a collection of eight magnificent pieces that showcase the diversity and range of Stanway’s work on show in the Tamisa Golf Hotel on Mijas Costa. This exhibition of Limited Edition Archival Digital Pigment Prints opened on August 20th and will run for the next few weeks. On September 6th, an exhibition of ten pieces, seven of which have not yet been seen will open in the Mijas Hotel until September 30th. Stanway is also launching his acclaimed autobiography, “Wee Boys from Glasgow Don’t Cry” in both English and Spanish (“De la Muerte a la Vida”). Much of Stanway’s incredible story takes place in Andalucia in particular around Mijas. He will be organising a series of public readings from his

Terrifying TV DIY WARNING!!! Get your flatscreen TV fitted by a professional
The number of children injured by a TV falling on them grew 125 per cent between 1990 and 2011, according to a new study of emergency room records that calls for greater prevention efforts. Overall, more than 17,000 children under age 18 were treated each year for various TV-related injuries in ERs across the United States – that’s one child every half hour – during that time period, the study released Monday in the journal Paediatrics found. Between 2000 and 2011, 215 children died from injuries caused by a falling TV. “This is a serious problem,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Gary Smith, a paediatrician at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, told NBC News. “A child’s dying once every three weeks from a TV tip-over. The numbers are going up. This is a call to action. These are 100 per cent preventable injuries.” 24
The increase is from a combination of more TVs in homes and a growing number of injuries from televisions falling from furniture that was not designed to hold them, Smith said. Forty-six per cent of the tip-overs involved a TV falling off a dresser or armoire, while 31 per cent were due to a TV falling from an entertainment centre or TV stand, according to the study. The lighter, top-heavy design of flat-screens could actually make them easier for a child to pull over, the study found. Children under the age of 5 were the most at risk, accounting for 64 per cent of the injuries, because young children can’t get out of the way as quickly as older children. Almost 61 per cent of the injured children were boys. Other than falling TVs, children were also hurt by striking or hitting the TV.
Enormous flatscreens are in millions of homes, but come with a risk that many parents may not realise: children can be seriously hurt in a TV tip-over.
The head and neck were the most commonly injured body part, noting that injuries ranged from bruising to death. Other injuries included lacerations, fractures and sprains.
Please be extremely careful when erecting a new TV onto the wall or anywhere else for that matter. To be on the safe side, do not do it yourself. Have your TV fitted by the retailer you purchased from, a TV and audio specialist or a reputable builder. These injuries can be avoided!

Do you know your
Colour Palette? Everyday, we choose and wear clothing based on our favourite or preferred colours, or colours that are in fashion at a particular time. We also have a habit of following what colours our favourite celebrities are wearing. The problem is, you may find that those colours although nice in their own right may actually do nothing for you or worst case may end up being detrimental to your overall look.
Lifestyle Magazine had the pleasure of interviewing Berta Balmes, founder of BfB International. She is a fashion and style expert who trained in London and has many years’ experience working within the industry in Los Angeles, Houston, Florence, Munich, Madrid and Marbella. Berta’s expertise can be applied to both men and women, working with each client individually to assess and fulfil their specific goals, whether they would like to update their everyday look, obtain a complete makeover, or prepare for a specific event. Her consulting strategy is matching personality, lifestyle, colour season, body and face type to today’s current styles, while solving common challenges such as problems deciding what to wear, what to buy or how to shop.
My session with Berta To start off, Berta explained the reasons why it is so important to know your colour palette as once this is determined, this can positively impact the image that we portray of ourselves to the rest of the world thus helping us to succeed in all aspects of our everyday life. So why is this important? Everyday we are judged whether we realise it or not. Many of us may choose not to care about the way people view us because if we did it would require too much effort, however we do not realise that without having to go out of our way, just knowing what colours and styles suit us can largely influence the way we are perceived by others and also the way we see ourselves. Feeling positive about the way we feel the minute we walk out of the door in the morning creates such positive energy within ourselves influencing the way our day will pan out.
Berta explains that you never have a second chance to make a First Impression! “90% of people will form an opinion of you within the first 40 seconds of meeting you and in an interview situation you will be virtually fully judged within the first 4 minutes of stepping foot in the room.” “The impact we make on other people depends, 55% on how we look and behave, 38% on how we sound – pitch, pace & tempo and only 7% on what you actually say!” Berta also gave me a clever little quote from Coco Channel who said, “There is no such thing as an ugly woman, only a lazy one.” When thinking about it this does seem true. If we only learnt what colours and styles made us stand out along with pointing out our best features, we can then enhance those features with the right fabrics, styles and colours and we would all look amazing!
How to determine your colour palette Colour analysis, also called skin tone colour matching, personal colour or seasonal colour, is the process of finding colours of clothing and makeup to match a person’s skin complexion, eye colour, and hair colour. It is often used as an aid to wardrobe planning and style consulting. Colour analysis is the process of determining the colours that best suit an individual’s natural colouring. There are a wide variety of approaches to analysing personal colouring. The most wellknown is “seasonal” colour analysis, which places individual colouring into four general categories: Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn.
Berta had offered to do my colour analysis which I was looking forward to as I have never been able to find the right makeup to match my skin tone and would hunt endlessly for different brands that never looked quite right but were just ok. Sales assistants at makeup counters could never match me right, especially with the fluorescent lights in department stores. I was 34
also curious to know which hair colours would bring the best out in me and also if I was wearing the right colours in my clothing. Berta sat me in front of a large mirror in natural light. This took place at 10.30 am as she explained around this time in the morning, here in Spain, is the best time to determine the colouring and undertones in my skin. All my make up was removed and a large white cloth was draped around me covering all of my clothes and a white turban towel covered all of my hair. This was now the base from which to start. I must emphasise that what happens next, only a true colour analyst can do. Berta had large pieces of fabric in every colour and tone imaginable. These were called drapes. Who knew the colour pink or yellow for that matter, came in so many undertones. I thought pink was pretty much, light pink, bubblegum and fuchsia. Well I was wrong. Every colour had different tones with either Cool (pink, red or bluish undertones) or Warm (yellow or golden undertones). We are either one or the other. I found out that the wrong undertone against my skin really did make me look awful. The colours that made my face lighten up and which highlighted my eyes and make my skin look more youthful were those colours with pink undertones. The difference was astounding. The yellow or golden undertones made me look seriously ill! After much time taken in holding different coloured swatches in various tones up to me, Berta narrowed me down to either a Winter or an Autumn. She then held the Autumn tones to me and the earthy
colours did nothing once again for my complexion or my eyes as there were a lot of golden and orange rust tones in that season. Berta then held up the Winter fabrics and those colours suited me much better. So she pinpointed me to Winter. Again the warm coloured Winter tones were put to me and then the cool coloured Winter tones. The cool tones made me look radiant. The ashy tones actually made my eyes and skin look brighter. Some of my clothes in my wardrobe matched and a lot didn’t and come to think about it, the ones that I shouldn’t be wearing I rarely wore anyway as they weren’t really me. Now I know why. Had I known my colours before, I would have saved a lot of time and money. This, by the way worked for my jewellery also. I always wore gold jewellery only to find out it was not what I should be wearing. I should stick to white gold or silver. So now for makeup. This I was really looking forward to as I could never get my makeup right and again, now I know why. I kept getting matched in department stores to warm under toned foundation just because I have brown eyes. This is not the case. People also assume because you are blue eyed that you are cool. Again this isn’t the case. Cosmetic assistants match you more to the shade, how darker or lighter the foundation should be which is partly right, but that’s only half the battle. Whether that foundation has a warm or cool undertone
makes the world of difference in finding a shade that is absolutely amazing and one that looks ok. The wrong undertone can make your face look dull, muddy or ashy.
my makeup never looked amazing. I just thought it was because I was not an expert at applying my makeup and that I wasn’t blessed with the best skin.
(Your skin’s surface tone is the colour that you can see on the surface of your skin, often described as light, medium, tan, deep, and so on. Your skin’s undertone is the colour underneath the surface. You can have the same skin colour as someone, but a different undertone)
Now once Berta had finished applying my makeup I looked years younger, fresher and my skin looked amazing! For years I had spent money on makeup to make me look worse, what a waste. I can actually say the experience with Berta has been ‘life changing’. I was given my own pocket swatch of my colours with tips for my makeup, hair colours etc all written in the back. I was told that this should stay in my handbag and anytime I go to buy makeup, clothing, get my hair coloured etc, I should consult my swatch. Not a problem with me. I will now live by it!
Berta applied my makeup using the undertones matched by my season, Cool Winter. The foundation used was light with pink undertones, eye shadows were shades of pinks matched from my palette and blusher used was pinkish. She told me to stay clear of gold, bronzed toned blushers. They were my enemy. If only I knew this years ago as funnily enough I wondered why my colouring was never right and
you could not find a more unique yet beneficial and life changing experience!
This one-time visit and the knowledge you take away with you will stay with you forever.
This was definitely an eyeopening experience that I would recommend to everyone. Whether you are just treating yourself, or if it is a surprise gift for a loved one,
Your image is the key to making a powerful first impression for personal, professional, and social success. Complete make-over • Body analysis Colour analysis • Personal styling • Personal shopping Business coaching • Social protocols

One Direction set to H become the world’s first billionaire boy band Our minds are BLOWN! We knew One Direction was the best thing since beer-battered cod, but we had no idea they were worth so much money!!!! Number-munching economists who also dabble in boy bands suggest the boys are on pace to generate over a billion dollars in revenue by the end of their 2014 tour!!! You read that right: 1D is on track to be worth $1B! The fab five are adorable and supremely talented, but how are they making more cheese than Switzerland?! First and foremost, they’re putting asses in seats — over half of the band’s revenue comes from selling concert tickets! Record sales are helping, too! The boys are pushing out chart-topping hits faster than old people push out prune juice! And there is also $$$ from cinema tickets, DVDs, & other misc merchandise! From third place on the X Factor to first place in our hearts and a billion Dollars, 1D has come a long way in a few short years!!!
One Direction Zayn Getting Married! Perrie walked the red carpet at One Direction’s ‘This Is Us’ film premiere on Aug. 20, wearing a huge diamond ring on her ring finger. Hours after they walked the carpet, One Direction’s rep confirmed to HollywoodLife.com that Zayn and Perrie ARE engaged! Zayn reportedly got down on one knee and proposed to the Little Mix singer during a quiet weekend when they were ‘alone together’. Perrie accompanied Zayn and the other One Direction boys at the band’s movie premiere, and she stunned onlookers in a black gown with sheer panels, a high pony tail and a big, HUGE diamond ring on her finger! Fans immediately speculated that Perrie and Zayn were engaged. We’re not very surprised by this new development. In a recent interview with Twist magazine, Perrie couldn’t stop gushing about Zayn.

“Zayn is so lovely,” Perrie said. “You know things are good when you can’t wait to see the other person. It’s a sense of friendship. The main thing I looked for is if he’s fun to be around, if I can have a laugh with him.”
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones to Divorce Hollywood couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones’ 13-year marriage is over, it was claimed this week. An insider said: “Michael is going to announce the split soon. Catherine is fighting to save the marriage but he’s had it.” But another report said she was set to start a multi-million divorce battle. Earlier this week Michael, 68, was pictured arriving in Sardinia by private jet but mum-of-two -Catherine, 43, was nowhere to be seen. They have not been pictured together in public for four months. Reports of a marriage crisis were denied earlier this year but Michael’s spokesman would only say yesterday: “I won’t talk about that.” Welsh Catherine supported her husband as he battled throat cancer in 2011. He helped her when she had a stint in rehab for bi-polar disorder.
Khloe’s marriage, messier than we thought! Khloe Kardashian’s marriage with Lamar Odom might be messier than anyone thought. While they’ve been embroiled in a rumoured cheating scandal as Lamar Odom has been rumoured to have had two mistresses recently, it seems like Khloe Kardashian has kicked him out! He was spotted in a black SUV with a friend on Wednesday in Woodland Hills where they met up with Khloe’s best friend, Malika. Malika brought Lamar his white Mercedes, which his friend then loaded some luggage into before heading to the petrol station. This is only fuelling rumours that the reality TV star has kicked out her husband for good after all of this cheating news. However, apparently that isn’t even the root of the problem. It’s being reported Lamar has struggled with drug abuse issues for about the last two years. Khloe allegedly got him to check into rehab last summer, but he had a hard time staying there. He reportedly ended up leaving after three weeks. However, he apparently stayed clean during the basketball season and played well with the Clippers, but once that was over it’s rumoured so was his sobriety. And things apparently spiralled so out of control that the Kardashian family staged an intervention to get him back into rehab just DAYS ago, but he wasn’t into it. That’s reportedly when Khloe threw Lamar out of the house, which was caught on camera in pictures of him getting his stuff from a friend. But don’t count this marriage over because it’s being reported Khloe still wants to get Lamar help and has no plans to divorce him. She is hurt by his rumoured cheating but knows the drugs are where the problem is right now. We hope she can get Lamar the help he might need.

Simon Cowell ready to be a dad Simon Cowell has vowed to dedicate himself to his unborn child full-time – but not until he reaches his sixties. The multimillionaire, 53, plans to carry on running his global music and TV empire after pregnant lover Lauren Silverman gives birth. But he has told friends he will start to wind down for his 60th birthday, when the child will be seven. A pal said: “It’s hard to imagine Simon as a house husband and his work is his life, but he has said it will be time to take a back seat in a few years. “He has achieved everything he can with his astonishing career. And while he won’t walk away from it all in a hurry, he is looking forward to the day when he becomes a fulltime dad.” Simon and New York socialite Lauren, 36, were together yesterday on the French Riviera. The couple were reunited on Thursday in Cannes, where they are staying in a £5,000-a-night hotel. Lauren is now divorced from husband Andrew after agreeing a £1.3million settlement and Simon has told friends he wants to give the relationship a go.
Ben Affleck looks set to don the black cape following the news that he will play the role of Batman in the new Superman sequel. The actor whose film Argo has received critical acclaim will star alongside Henry Cavill who will resume the role of Superman in the sequel which will see both of the iconic superheroes in the same film.
H
Speaking about Ben’s role in the film which is due for release in 2015, BBC News reported Greg Silverman, Warner Bros President, saying: “We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics’ most enduringly popular super heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill and then some.” Whilst some fans seemed happy about the choice of casting, other fans are outraged. One fan posted on the social networking site: “Ben Affleck is the new Batman? Well they might as well cast Hulk Hogan as the next Bond whilst they’re at it.” Another fan posted: “What the actual f**k!!! Ben Affleck as Batman, are Warner Bros that stupid? May I just remind the studios of a film called Daredevil.” Poor Ben! Looks like he has a lot to prove and surely will be focused on making the new Superman Sequel a hit.
