Thriller

As the shock of Michael Jackson's death wears off and the retrospects of his life fill the media, we are reminded of the great body of work that this man left behind. Hit singles, gold and platinum albums are only a part of the legacy of Michael Jackson. With radio stations digging out interviews from the last four decades we are reminded just how young he was when fame came knocking at his door. Bits and pieces of his ambitions and dreams of the future can be gleaned from the video clips and radio interviews that he did throughout the last forty years. From Michael's answers and his performances it becomes clear that Mr. Jackson was hankering for a to delve deeper into the Theatrical and Film business. His stage performances and sets already reflected his affinity to the theatrical. Michael Jackson was already a trail blazer in bringing the two disciplines of music and theater together when he blazed a trail with his immortal music video, Thriller.

Michael Jackson's vision of Thriller was co-written and Directed by John Landis, a film icon in his own right. John Landis enabled Michael Jackson to apply the theatrical techniques a a feature film to flesh out the video vision of his song that played in his mind. The half million dollar budget of the Thriller video was an unheard of sum of money for most independent films at the time let alone a 14 minute video. Thriller included everything a feature film included, a cast, makeup, costumes, multiple cameras, moving cameras, lighting, a sound stage and a world renowned Director. Upon it release The Thriller Video became the gold ring of music videos, setting a standard that changed the course of music videos forever.

The Thriller Video made use of Special Effects Makeup in creating the graveyard scenes featuring the walking dead , Zombies. The Thriller Video featured the immortal Vincent Price, the King of Horror, who has played in his share of Vampire and Zombie movies. Thriller incorporated everything that a feature film would use, a cameo appearance, a love interest, played by Ola Ray, a an ensemble of characters. Plus the Academy Award winning Special Effects Makeup Artist Rick Baker.

As the week progresses and the funeral of Michael Jackson proceeds we will be reminded of many of the excitingly great productions that Michael Jackson was responsible for recording and leaving with us. The concept of the Thriller Video is one of the works that must be looked at to appreciate the creative genius of Michael Jackson.

A Date to Remember

June 25th, 2009 was a day that culminated three days of announcements about the deaths of three iconic Professional Performers. June 23, 2009 the announcement of the passing of Ed McMahon was made, June 25th the passing of Farrah Fawcett was announced and the final unexpected announcement that Michael Jackson had died was also made on the same afternoon. June 25, 2009 was a sad day for the Entertainment Industry, losing three distinctly different Professional Performers who each left the earth a prolific body of work. These three days will be remembered for years to come as the deaths of these Professional Performers are commemorated. Mehron Makeup will also commemorate the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson by adding the memory of each of them to the commemoration that occurs at Mehron Makeup every June 25th.

As fate would have it another foundation of the Entertainment Industry departed this earth on June 25th. On June 25th, 1977, Mehron Melik passed from this earth. Fifty years previously in 1927, Mehron Melik founded a Company literally with his own hands. In 1927 Mehron began creating Performance Makeup by hand with personally selected ingredients in a loft off Broadway in New York City. Mr. Melik's neighbors in 1927 were the Professional Performers of the Stage, Theater, Opera, Vaudeville, the Circus and the infancy of the Film Industry. Mehron saw the needs of his neighbors and used his knowledge and expertise in blending components to create a durable, affordable makeup that could be used by Performers who worked in all the various fields of public performance.

In 1927 Makeup Artist was not a recognized profession. The Performers themselves applied their makeup until Mehron Melik sent the Mehron Ladies to instruct the Performers in the proper way to apply Mehron Theatrical Makeup. Each day Mehron formulated theatrical makeup packing it carefully in the makeup bags of the Mehron Ladies and dispatched them to the dressing rooms of theaters throughout New York City. In this way Mehron Makeup was delivered fresh to Performers throughout the New York Entertainment Industry. Decades later Mehron was still hand delivering Makeup to the new hot live entertainment cities of Miami and Havana, Cuba.

Mehron Melik was a foundational block in the growth of Professional Entertainment even though he neither sang, danced or performed professionally, the Make Up that he manufactured by hand performed in all venues. Of particular interest to Mehron was Clown Makeup. Many of his neighbors performed as Professional Clowns, who in those days were the performers who applied the most makeup the most often. Mehron developed and formulated an easy to apply Clown White that was affordable, long lasting, did not fry of chap the skin, yet was easy to remove night after night. Mehron Clown White along with other Mehron Makeup became a staple at the The Greatest Show on Earth, The Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus. Decades after Mehron Melik created the world's Whitest Clown White Makeup, Mehron Makeup Company was making special palette of Clown Makeup for the incoming Freshman attending The Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus official Clown College located in the State of Florida in the USA.

You may not be able to hum a tune that Mehron Melik has written, or watch a film in which he starred, but throughout your life you have been witness to Mr. Melik's contribution to the World of Entertainment. Throughout your life Mehron Melik's products have been a part of your Entertainment Viewing from the Clowns that you hid under your seats from when you were a tot, to the Feature Films like Farrah Fawcett starred in and right through to the Performers in Music Videos that were made an Entertainment Standard by Michael Jackson.

In the mid 1970's the careers of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson were surging towards their pinnacles just as Mehron Melik was winding down his leadership of the Company that he founded in 1927. Mr. Melik was fortunate to have a son, Martin who would take over the helm of Mehron Makeup and continue to serve the Professional Performers of the Entire Entertainment Industry while expanding the product line to include almost all aspects of Makeup, from everyday makeup to Special Effects Makeup. Unlike the legacies that Ms. Fawcett and Mr. Jackson leave behind, Mehron Melik left behind a legacy that continues to grow and expand under the guidance of a second generation of hands on leadership.

Fate has determined that June 25 shall be the day to commemorate the life, work and creations of many who have departed the earth on that date. Fate has also determined that the Memory of Three Entertainment creators shall be memorialized on June 25th.

Mehron Mourns Dimming Stars

Mehron Makeup mourns three iconic stars of the Entertainment industry who left this earth in the last two days. On June 23, 2009, Ed McMahon, 86 , a fixture on late night Television for over thirty years as the co-host of the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, died after a long battle with cancer. Mr. McMahon spent much of his career in Television Studios beginning in 1957. Ed McMahon continued to work in Television until 2008. His record of over 30 years as the co- host of the Tonight Show was surpassed by his 47 years as co-host of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Ed McMahon was a Television Star who will not soon be forgotten and will take his place in the Radio and Television Hall of Fame.

On the morning of June 25, 2009 the world learned that another Entertainment icon had succumbed to cancer at the age of 62, Miss Farrah Fawcett. Ms. Fawcett worked her way through the Entertainment industry from product spokesperson to feature film star. Along the way Farrah Fawcett turned a red one piece bathing suit into a symbol of the 1970's with a poster that sold over 12 million copies. Ms. Fawcett rose to Television Stardom in the hit Television Show, Charlie's Angels and parlayed that fame into roles in feature films. As she worked her way through a series of commercial entertainment productions, Ms. Fawcett continued to strive to be recognized as a dramatic actress. Even after attaining a height of stardom that most actresses can only dream of Farrah Fawcett took on a grueling role in the Off Broadway production of Extremities, written by William Mastrosimone, and followed that up with a critically acclaimed role in the TV Movie, The Burning Bed which earned her the first of three Emmy Award nominations.

Later in afternoon of June 25, 2009 news broke that Pop Icon Michael Jackson had died in UCLA Medical Center after suffering an apparent massive cardiac arrest. Mr. Jackson, age 50, has been thrilling audiences with his melodic singing since he was 7 years old. Throughout his illustrious entertainment career Michael Jackson achieved milestone after milestone selling hundreds of millions of copies of his recordings and is credited with creating the world of Music Videos. Michael Jackson's life as an Entertainer was tainted by his personal turmoils and idiosyncrasies but his place on the world stage of iconic entertainers can not be denied. Although his death is at a much younger age than Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett, the volume of work that he leaves behind stacks up against any entertainers career.

The shining light of these three entertainers may have dimmed in the last two days, but the magic gift that they were given are part of the recorded history of the Entertainment Industry. Although all three were American Entertainers each of them were recognized around the world by billions of people. Mehron joins with world in saying, good bye and thanks for the memories to these three Giants of the Professional Performance Industry.

Summer Color at Your Finger Tips

Sometimes it feels like it rains all Spring, the sun hides behind clouds for days making it impossible to add any color to the pastiness of winter skin tone. The choices are many, the tanning salon, baking under hot lights that have unanswered safety issues for the health, moisture, and pliability of skin, or a "tan" in a tube or spray on that is actually dying the skin, again with health questions still unanswered.

In 2009, Mehron introduced Aura Bronzing Gel , a naturally based gel that contains recognized skin antioxidant herbal extracts. Aura Bronzing Gel contains"super-hydrating/skin-smoothing" extract blend of Lemongrass, Ginseng, Chamomile, Comfrey, Cucumber , Aloe Vera gel, and Japanese Green Tea, plus a generous helping of golden-bronze shimmer. This safe to use Bronzing Gel by Mehron is NOT a skin dye, or pigmentation manipulator, it is an easy to use instant summer day that turns your skin from work day tired and drained into revitalized, smooth, shimmering, silky looking skin. Aura Bronzing Gel can be safely used every day unlike skin dyes and paints.

You don't have to wait until the 40 days and 40 nights of rain are finished to order your bottle of sun. Aura Bronzing Gel is a lightweight exclusive formula by Mehron that adds a luxurious glow to your skin with safe, selected ingredients chosen for their durable addition, color enhancement and skin nourishing properties.

Aura Bronzing Gel is NOT a sun tan lotion. It will not protect you from the harmful sun burning effects of the Summer Season. Use Aura Bronzing Gel to add a glowing even coloration to any skin that has lost its natural glow because of the brutality of the long damp winter months. Aura Bronzing Gel is ready to apply as soon as you have it in your hands. Apply Mehron Aura Bronzing Gel and instantly have that just came in from a day in the sun look.

Summer Face Painting

A new generation of Face Painters will try their skills during the summer months as they are hired to perform face painting on Boardwalks, at Amusement Parks, Church Festivals, Street Fairs, and Birthday Parties. These new Face Painters will be expected to perform by their employers with very little knowledge of Face Painting. It is important as employers and employees to realize that Face painting should not be performed with acrylic paints, poster paints, ink or water color paint. Face Painting is properly performed with specially formulated Face Painting Makeup, and should be performed with Face Painting Makeup that is made with safe ingredients.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body that absorbs what is applied to it and passes it through to the blood and other internal organs. Applying paint to the skin that is produced for poster board, signs, windows and canvases is not a healthy practice. Parents that give their consent and treat their children to face painting at various outings during the summer months should check with the face painter and find out exactly what is being painted on to their child's face. If it is acyclic paint, ink, or paint other than cosmetic Face Paint good judgement should be exercised before allowing it to be applied to the child's skin.

Even if it is cosmetic Face Painting Makeup, Parents should be aware that Face Painting Makeup from produced in China was placed on recall lists by the United states FDA. Mehron Face Painting Makeup was not affected by the 2009 FDA recall or any other recall in the eighty year history of Mehron's production of Professional Theater Makeup Production.

Mehron Face Painting Makeup has always been and continues to be developed, formulated, and manufactured in the USA using selected quality ingredients specially selected to be applied to the skin. When consenting to your child having their face painted at a day of fun, checking the Face Paint that is being used is a wise decision to insure that a day of fun doesn't turn into a week of allergic reactions or other health issues.

Mehron Face Painting Makeup is available in a variety of styles, including Liquid Makeup for Face, Body & Hair which is FDA approved and is a descendant of the Professional Theatrical Makeup that Mehron has produced for the stars 0f Studio and Stage. Makeup Artists realize the importance of using a safe cosmetic on the skin of the stars that are their clients, that's why Mehron Makeup has been used on the Stars of Stage and Screen since 1927. Paradise Makeup AQ ProPalette - 12 Colors is a water activated cake makeup developed in collaboration with Jenny Houle, a World Champion Face and Body Painter.

Not only is Mehron Makeup produced in the United States under the watchful eye of Mehron's President and Staff, it is produced with the care and safety that is required when manufacturing a cosmetic that will be applied to the Human Body's largest organ. It is not rude to ask a Face Painter what they are going to apply to the skin of your child or yourself, it is a matter of self-preservation from the poisonous possibilities associated with paint that is not meant to be used on the skin. When questioning your Face Painter don't forget that not all cosmetic face paint is created equal. Mehron Face Painting Makeup is produced by following the safety and care that was expected by the founder of Mehron Makeup who began hand making Makeup for his neighbors off Broadway in New York City, who were the Professional Performers of their day. Face Painting that uses quality Professional Face Painting Makeup made in the USA is the only way to go when consenting to a face painting for you or your child.

Over 80 years later, the dream of Mehron Melik of producing the highest quality performance makeup is still being pursued by his Son, Martin Melik, the current President of Mehron.

The Renaissance Festivals and Faires are a whimsical walk through history surrounded by the chivalry of knights and the clowning of jesters. As patrons enter the Renaissance recreations they are greeted with a interactive cast of characters portraying a fairy tale version of the Renaissance with the emphasis on fun. Many Renaissance Festivals encourage patrons to join in the fantasy by dressing in period clothing and partaking in period food, drink and merriment.

As visitors wander through the recreated village that each festival or faire represents they encounter the various craftsmen, merchants, performers, inns keepers and royalty that was common during the period. These Festivals and Faires are staffed with modern day thespians who carry a visitor hundreds of years back in time as they turn themselves into interactive characters from the past who see the humour in the present.

Each Renaissance Village that is created has the obligatory King or Queen or both, jesters, knights, Shakespearean actors and wizards. In their period costumes and theatrical makeup they are able to transport patrons off to another time and place for a few hours. The Art of these interactive Renaissance Festivals and Renaissances Faires are their ability to make a one day visit like a trip through time.

Throughout the Festival and Faire grounds vistors are invited to gather at any number of shows ranging from outdoor Shakespearean Plays to Turtle Racing, Magic Shows and Comedy presentations while partaking in the culinary delights and beverages of 15th and 16th Centuries.

The Dangerous Job of Clowning

Dealing with a room full of wise cracking children might be dangerous for some clowns, while sleeping in the proximity of Lions and Tigers and Elephants might provoke fear in other clowns. The Clowns with the most dangerous job in entertainment have to be the Rodeo Clowns. These brave souls put on a brightly colored Clown Face and put themselves between an enraged bull and the rider who is is scampering to get out of the Rodeo Ring. As the Cowboys and Cowgirls are high tailing it away from the bull, the Rodeo Clown is drawing the bull's attention towards themselves with their brightly colored clown makeup and over sized hats giving the rider the extra time they need to get out of the way of the charging bull.

Although it seems improbable to most of us, these Rodeo Clowns have chosen their profession. They purposely became a colorful target for ranging bulls. Putting on Clown Makeup is a call to duty for all Clowns, but to Rodeo Clowns putting on Clown Makeup means another few hours of entertaining the crowds while performing a dangerous task. The Clowns of the Rodeo suffer injury and risk themselves every time they perform and the vibrant colors of their Clown makeup are essential in helping to protect the other Rodeo performers. Besides the antics of the Rodeo Clown the brightness and coloration of the Clown Makeup draws the attention of the Bull away from his original target, the rider, and straight towards the brightly colored clown.

Rodeo Clowns are clowns that work in teams, protecting each other while allowing the rider to exit the ring unharmed. Durable Clown Makeup is essential in this kind of clowning. The Clown Makeup used by Rodeo Clowns must be able to withstand heat, dust, and sweat for hours without a reapplication.

The vibrant color selection of Mehron Clown Makeup could be a Rodeo Clown's best friend. There is not another Clown White Clown Face Makeup produced in the United States for over 8 decades that is as white as long lasting as Mehron Clown White. Adding the reds, blues and greens of Mehron Color Cups guarantees that the Bulls will notice the Clowns in the ring with them. Rodeo Clowns can also opt for the intensely bright colors of Fantasy F-X™ Makeup (Water Based) or the lanolin enriched Foundation Greasepaint by Mehron. All Clowns will appreciate the long lasting formulations of Mehron Clown Makeup all made from ingredients that will not pose any danger to their skin unlike the jobs that some clowns undertake.

Sailing into Body Painting

Artists from all walks of life are gravitating to the exciting field of Face and Body Painting, Cheryl Painter is one of those stories. Always artistically inclined, Cheryl painted murals and her Children's Faces for Halloween throughout the years. After retiring from a career in Law Enforcement where she rose to the rank of Sergeant in a New Jersey Police Force, Ms. Painter was called upon to fill in at a local picnic as a Face Painter when the scheduled Face Painter abruptly cancelled. Taking on the challenge as a favor and relying on her Artistic abilities, Cheryl enjoyed her maiden voyage as a Face Painter and even booked another job.

As the word spread of the Face Painting by Cheryl Painter, she soon found herself not exactly retired, but also not pulling over speeders. As her schedule became full of bookings she began to research the various face paints on the market and emailed Face Painters she had come across and asked their opinions. From her research she discovered that Mehron Paradise Makeup AQ was a safe makeup for face painting and came in an array of colors that would enable her to expand the creativity of her face painting.

Cheryl decided to attend the 2007 Face and Body Art International Convention and was awed by the talents of Jinny, Mark Reid and Pashur. Thinking about the possibilities Cheryl Painter returned home from FABAIC with an itch to paint a body. While showing her photos of FABAIC to a co-worker and discussing her interest in painting a body, Cheryl got her first volunteer. The co-worker became the canvas for Ms. Painter's first Body Painting. " I thought it was so beautiful and the canvas was so much more than just the face- there was room for more creativity- ", Cheryl recently told the Mehron Blog.

One Body Painting led to another and soon Cheryl realized that she had found a niche in Body Painting Clothing. Armed with a collection of Mehron Paradise Makeup AQ and a head full of visions Cheryl began regularly doing Body Paintings. Her First Full Body Painting was a Cow Girl. As Cheryl tells us, " I painted a full cowgirl and my first pair of jeans, which I was itching to try after watching Mark Reid paint them" After a regional hit with a Body Painting of a Philadelphia Phillies Jersey that became a cell phone texting phenomenon during the Phillies World Series Win Cheryl knew she was anchored to a new career.

With a vision of a retro pinup girl in her mind, Cheryl spotted an Ad by a photographer, Alice Marie, searching for a Body Painter for a photo shoot and answered it. After meeting Alice Marie and the model Danielle Hawley, Cheryl told them about her retro pinup girl idea. Everyone agreed to try it, and Ms. Painter using Paradise Makeup AQ accomplished her vision by turning Danielle Hawley into a 1940's style pinup girl with a full body painting.

The successful Body Painting and photo shoot led to an assignment at the Playboy Mansion for a benefit for wounded soldiers. "I just came back from the Playboy Mansion after painting at a military benefit party for wounded warriors. I painted 15 models in 10 hours and used your cake paradise paint and your liquid makeup. I actually had a few bottles of liquid Mehron mailed out to a friend in California in case my luggage got lost or delayed, so I would not show up at the Playboy Mansion without any paint- that would have been a problem.", Cheryl explained.

Obviously the combination of Cheryl Painter's talent in Body Painting along with the Mehron Makeup that she loves to use will lead her to other adventures as she continues to sail through the world of Body Painting.

Profile of A Mehron Model

Mary O'Rourke recently modeled for Mehron at the 2009 New York Makeup Show. As we marvel at the work of the Body Painting Artists, we tend to overlook the person who is the canvas for the Art. Without the patient and willing models, Body Painting Makeup Artists and Face Painting Makeup Artists would not have a live canvas on which to present their artistic visions.

Mary O'Rourke is currently a working model and actress with credits to her name dating back to her teenage years. Graduating from Tish at New York University in 2006, where she studied acting and directing, she is pursuing a career in Television and Film. While juggling casting calls and auditions Ms. O'Rourke began modeling for fashion and print in order to maintain an income while keeping her eye on the goal of a job as an actress and director. Being a Model (Live Canvas) for a Body Painter at the New York Makeup Show in May of 2009 was one of the calls that Mary answered.

Reporting to her assignment at the 2009 New York Makeup Show, Mary was introduced to Jinny Houle who was demonstrating the use of Mehron Makeup at the show. Discussing her experience as a Body Painting Model, Ms. O'Rourke recently related, " I'm a huge Mehron fan. Their products are absolutely fabulous. My favorite artist is Jinny. She is soo very talented and a great person. I loved working with her. It was the best few days! .....She didn't plan anything out ahead of time and just let her inspiration guide her. I was in awe and so excited to be there. It was a bit chilly. I would say that was the worst part."

Models must have the patience and the ability to keep their pose and poise for extended periods of times as the Body Painters engage in the sometimes intricate and tedious tasks of completing their artistic vision. Although the room temperature may not always be the best for the models dressed only in Body Painting Makeup, models like Mary O'Rourke endure the hardships like Professionals.

Despite the chill Ms. O'Rourke related how she enjoyed working with Jinny and Mehron at the 2009 Makeup Show, " I look forward to working with Mehron again in the near future. They seem like a family of dedicated artists. I had a lot of fun and am even using their foundation in some of my fashion/print jobs. Everyone asks me who makes it!!" The family at Mehron was pleased to have Mary O'Rourke wear the Mehron brand and look forward to her representing Mehron in the future.
