I\n\nstumbled exhaustedly backstage and felt instantly revived by what can only\n\nbe described as pure Betsey mayhem! There were balloons everywhere, dishes\n\nof candy, cheery pop music blaring, and Betsey herself was running around\n\ngiving all the models hugs then showering them in flower petals. Yes, flower\n\npetals.\n\nMy first stop on Le Tour de Backstage was with Nonie Cr&amp;amp;#xC3;&amp;amp;#xBF;me, creator of\n\nButter London, who had whipped up a design that Betsey was calling the &amp;quot;**Rock\n\nN Roll Rainbow Retro Racing Stripe.**&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Betsey doesn\u2019t really follow global\n\ntrends . . . she follows Betsey trends,&amp;quot; laughed Nonie. &amp;quot;But this nail actually\n\nis really relevant trendwise. I\u2019m seeing a lot of retro creamy pinks, and\n\njust a strong feeling of fifties nails. I started with a Pepto pink cream base,\n\nand then did two French stripes at the tip--the middle color was &amp;quot;**Royal\n\nNavy,&amp;quot; and the tip is a great yellow called &amp;quot;Cheeky Chops**.&amp;quot; I think it goes\n\nwithout saying that I loved it . . . but I LOVED it!\n\nNext up, I chatted with Sarah Lucero from Stila. &amp;quot;The idea is Betsey riding\n\nher bike through New York, having an adventure and just exploring! The feel\n\nis really happy, optimistic, positive, and Betsey wanted a look that would\n\nlast all day, since the girl wouldn\u2019t want to have to worry about her\n\nmakeup. We did a bright, bold lid, which was the brightest kelly green from\n\nan eye shadow palette called Fiji. We applied the shadow wet to get extra\n\ncolor payoff and did kind of a cat-eye with it. We used a hot-pink blush\n\nbecause we wanted the girls to look like they were literally bursting with\n\nhappiness, and then on the lips we used Caprice Longwear Lip Color, because\n\nwe really did want it to last. The makeup look, like the clothes, is just\n\nclassic Betsey. So happy and so fun!&amp;quot;\n\nMy last stop was with Peter Grey with Cutler and Redken, who was making an\n\n&amp;quot;athletic-punk-cyclist-as-roadkill look.&amp;quot; Ha! &amp;quot;First, I\u2019m using Wool Shake\n\nSpray all over the hair, then All Soft Heavy Cream, which is really a deep\n\nconditioner, and then Full Frame 07 to give the hair the perfect messy,\n\nmatte texture. We just cocktailed the mixture into dry hair and really\n\nfluffed it up. Then, we took these colorful bands, which are actually cut\n\nfrom neon stockings, and wrapped them around sections of the hair to make\n\nthese tiny ponytails that are supposed to mimic the look of bike spokes. We also rubbed some shine cream through the ends to give them kind of a greasy look.&amp;quot; Too cute. As for the show? To die for! As Sarah said, totally classic Betsey that ended with a parade of ladies dressed for motorcross--and of course, an exuberant cartwheel!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
