Posted on January 9, 2014 by NikkieTutorials

Sweat was dripping down my back when photographer, friend and web designer of NikkieTutorials.com, Bianca Toeps sent me the moodboard for Fashionmilk‘s 5th photoshoot. “I want Purple glitter hair!” she blurted out. “Hell NO!” I thought.

My booker over at Colourfool Agency gave me a call: “Nik, you’re working with Andrej Pejic this Sunday”…
