Keeping it reel: Artist creates portraits of famous faces from across the decades out of old cassette tapes

A frugal artist has made use of her old cassette tapes and film reels to create portraits of some of the world's most famous faces.  

Erika Iris Simmons has crafted life-like images of iconic people across the decades from Marilyn Monroe to Bob Marley simply using the old-style tape. 

She said: 'I like to take random things - like what you would find at a garage sale or in a thrift store - and make them into composite art. 

Reeling it in: Erika Iris Simmons creates portraits of movie icons from old films

Classics: Madonna in her heyday, left, and Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast At Tiffany's, right 

Art recording: An image of The Beatles from Simmons' project 'The Ghost In The Machine'

'Most of my pieces become portraits of people associated with the item I’ve chosen. 

'I don’t really add any paint or pigments. I usually just take things apart and re-arrange the pieces, cutting away portions when necessary.

 

'A lot of my art is made with cassette tapes and old film reels in a series I call 'Ghost in the Machine'.'

Simmons, who was born in St Louise but grew up in Orlando, studied make-up and worked as a face-painter at Universal Studios before moving on to create physical artworks.  

The queen of pop: Madonna in a piece called 'She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not'

Working progress: Reggae legend Bob Marley has been turned into a piece of art from one of his old cassettes 

In The Flesh: Singer Debbie Harry from the popular band Blondie

The queen of pinups: All American girl Bettie Page, left, and Mr Tambourine Man Bob Dylan, right 

She explains on her website: 'I spent about a year tearing up anything I could find in my house – playing cards, newspapers, coffee table books.  

'I didn’t have money to spend on art supplies, all of my materials came from Walgreens: scissors, glue, scotch tape, etc. 

'But I was searching for an idea, and it didn’t really matter that I didn’t have a lot to work with. That was a blessing in a way.

'At the time I was waiting tables at Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, Florida. I was a cocktail waitress in the VIP lounge, which is Jimi Hendrix themed. I think staring at music memorabilia all day probably soaked my brain with that vibe. 

An iconic image of Kurt Cobain from Nirvana has been recreated out of cassette tape

Van the Man: A young Van Morrison, left, and one of the greatest guitar players of all time, Jimi Hendrix, right 

The Hendrix Experience: Jimi Hendrix was known for his psychedelic rock music

The poster child of doom and gloom: Robert Smith of The Cure, left, and singer Michael Jackson, right 

'One day as I was leaving to go to work I saw a pile of cassette tapes laying on top of a canvas I had set near my door. I thought, “What ghosts could be hiding in those machines?”  

'I pulled out the ribbon and tried to work with it, making some writing. I watched the ribbon curl up and it reminded me of Jimi Hendrix’s crazy hair, so that was the first portrait I made.'

Simmons soon started showing her work in galleries and has now been working as a full-time artist for several years.

Is Lady Gaga's rump getting too big for her meat corset? Singer's curvy derrière hangs out of tiny costume on stage

She first caused a stir when she wore a dress made entirely of meat to the MTV Video Music Awards in 2010. 

But Lady Gaga has raised the steaks once again by stepping out in a carnivorous creation as she performed in Bucharest, Romania, last night. 

Taking to the stage in Piata Constitutiei Square, the 26-year-old singer showed off her voluptuous figure in a skimpy thong style corset, which appeared to be fashioned out of meat.

However the singer - who apparently used to starve herself to fit into her costumes - seemed to be in need of a little more cover around her derrière, with the tight-fitting outfit proving unflattering on her fuller figure.

Meaty: Lady Gaga showed off a more curvaceous figure than normal in a carnivorous corset as she performed in Bucharest, Romania, yesterday, seen right in March 2009 looking trimmer

With matching ankle boots and fishnet tights completing the look, the Born This Way hitmaker  showcased a more curvaceous figure than usual as she performed in front of 35,000 fans.

 

But the food-based fashion item wasn't the only unusual look the star went for, with Gaga also opting for a bizarre white ram's head hat and matching futuristic dress at one stage during the gig, before changing into a black gothic-inspired creation. 

However, it might have been that her choice of outfit made the New Yorker feel somewhat nauseous. 

Unusual: Gaga also showed off a bizarre futuristic white outfit and a black gothic look as she took to the stage in Bucharest's Constitutiei Square

Nauseous? Lady Gaga apologised to her fans after having to leave the stage to vomit mid-performance

According to onlookers, halfway through the performance, she had to leave the stage to vomit. 

Gaga told the crowd: 'I went backstage and vomited, and I did not want you to see this... It happens to me sometimes.'

Despite her health ailment, Gaga continued with the show, and at one stage even dragged a delighted young fan and his mother up on to the stage.

The star first wore a meat dress to the MTV Video Music Awards in 2010, before going on to pose in a beefy bikini on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan. 

Happy: Gaga delighted one fan by dragging him up on stage

And despite coming under fire from vegetarian campaigners for her controversial choice of clothing, the star explained her ensemble was aimed to make a statement about human rights. 

She told Ellen DeGeneres in an interview: 'Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. 

'As you know, I am the most judgment-free human being on the earth. However, it has many interpretations but for me this evening. 

'If we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat.'

Pet pooch accessories: Gaga was seen in Vienna with a furry friend in Vienna today 

Fur friends: The singer, who has found herself in controversy after wearing real fur, was carrying her dog as she made her way to a car

Ouch! Miranda Kerr gives photographer Terry Richardson a B12 shot in the bum in bizarre footage from photoshoot

When Miranda Kerr posed in just a pair of thigh-high leather boots for Harper's Bazaar, you would be forgiven for thinking the atmosphere on set was sultry and sexy.

But it would appear the 29-year-old supermodel had plenty of time to lark around once she had finished posing and preening for the camera. 

In a bizarre video posted online by renowned photographer Terry Richardson, the Australian beauty is seen administering the celebrity snapper with a vitamin B12 injection.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO

Cheeky! Miranda Kerr injected photographer Terry Richardson with a vitamin B12 shot in a bizarre behind the scenes video from their Harper's Bazaar shoot

Ouch! The star wasted no time in getting to work with the task in hand

Wearing just an extremely flimsy bra with blue skinny jeans and the same thigh-high boots she wore for the shoot, the mother-of-one seems to be in good spirits as she stands beside the photographer.

 

He explains: 'Today I am getting a vitamin B12 shot from Miranda.'

The Victoria's Secret model, who is married to Hollywood star Orlando Bloom, casually pulls down Richardson's boxer shorts, and cheekily gives him the injection.

Although he originally screams out feigning pain, he quickly transforms into a bizarre daydream of him jumping about in an orange leotard. 

He then says: 'That feels good'.

Skimpy: Miranda posed alongside the photographer wearing just a barely-there bra, jeans and thigh-high boots

Bizarre: After Richardson received the shot he slipped in to an odd daydream, which saw him dance around in a bright orange body suit

After finishing her stint as a nurse, Miranda praises Richardson for behaving himself. 

The scantily-clade beauty says: 'You were a very good patient.'

In Miranda's racy shot for Harper's Bazaar, she is seen arching her body for the camera, while seductively throwing her head back and covering her chest with her hands. 

And in the accompanying interview, the star credits her perfectly toned body to short bursts of yoga. 

She said: 'Yoga is at the core of my health and wellness routine, even if it’s only for 10 to 15 minutes I find it helps me to re-center and to focus as well as improve my overall core strength,' she says.

'Then I'll do a few extra squats for my butt and thighs.'

Down to earth: Miranda, pictured here with son Flynn and husband Orlando Bloom, usually opts for less racy ensembles

New queen of Camelot Taylor Swift channels the princess look in ad for latest fragrance, Wonderstruck Enchanted

She may be the new queen of Camelot, but Taylor Swift is still channelling the princess look in a new ad for her latest fragrance.

The singer, 22, who is currently dating Conor Kennedy, 18, poses in a dramatic hot pink dress in the campaign for her Wonderstruck Enchanted scent, to launch in September.

And it seems the fairytale look is one that she has been channelling lately. 

Channelling the princess look: Taylor Swift strikes a pose in a hot pink gown in the campaign for her new fragrance, Wonderstruck Enchanted, due to launch next month

She told People: 'I love the look of my ad. I’m wearing this amazing gown that I loved as soon as I put it on. 

'It’s a classic look, and that’s been my recent style obsession. Anything classic and timeless.'

New romance: The singer with boyfriend Conor Kennedy in Nashville together

Describing the new fragrance, a sister scent to the original bestselling Wonderstruck, Miss Swift said she was inspired by the first spark of attraction or connection in another person.

'Wonderstruck is about that moment when you instantly feel a connection to someone, but then there’s that feeling of being completely enamored — enchanted — when you know a little more about that someone and still feel that strong connection,' she said.

 

It was the word starstruck, not wonderstruck, though, that Miss Swift used to describe herself when meeting the Kennedy clan.

In an interview with Vogue earlier this year she spoke of the moment she met Ethel Kennedy as 'the only time in my life I have ever been starstruck.'

The singer has been spending time with her beau's family this summer at their compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

And it seems the feeling is mutual. Rory Kennedy, who directed Ethel, the upcoming HBO documentary about the family matriarch, gushed that Miss Swift 'is a great friend of all of ours. We love her. She's awesome.'
