Under The Dryer

February 21

The Optimist Club of North St. Andrew invited patrons to a Grand Valentine Premiere of the movie: Fifty Shades of Grey last Thursday at Palace Amusement’s Carib 5 cinema. Beauty guru Racquel Jenkins Moss-Solomon, proprietor of Racquel J Make-Up Studio in partnering with the club, set up shop at the premiere to recreate two looks from the cast members. Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past four years or just don’t care much for the novel, you understand and appreciate the fanfare associated with the Fifty Shades of Grey debut in June 2011. The novel took on a life of it’s own, forcing author E L James to provide sequels: Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed.

Here’s how Racquel Jenkins Moss-Solomon transformed two lucky patrons into Fifty Shades of Grey cast members:
