Stylist Lena Ott used a rainbow of our Classic colors on her models in the November issue of Harpers Bazaar. Celebrated stylist Christiaan used a variety of MANIC PANIC® colors to create his own unique pastel shade in the July issue of Vogue.

Oscar de la Renta 2012 RTW

Snooky and Tish, looking so 80's - in the year 2012!

It doesn't get any more classy and fabulous than an Oscar de la Renta runway show! These gorgeous models had their hair styled by the famous Orlando Pita, known for using Manic Panic on his celebrity clients. All of the girls with the colored hair are wearing Manic Panic Glam Strips or Orlando dyed hair extensions with our vegan formula semi-permanent hair color. We love when the to-dye-for hair matches the exquisite dress! Living fast, indeed.
In other news, Snooky and Tish starred in a rock video "Let's Get the Band Back Together" by Andy Shernoff (formerly of the Dictators). The sisters donned their 80's outfits and had a blast during the filming.(watch video above)

New York Originals by Jamie McDonald is an inspirational book just released that has a 4 page color spread on Tish & Snooky and Manic Panic.
The author did a great job filming Tish & Snooky at Manic Panic Headquarters and in the salon. New York Post Sunday Pulse section picked up the news of the book's release and featured non other than Tish & Snooky in front of the original Manic Panic store on St. Mark's Place, 1977 in full glorious color. Of course Manic Panic hair color made the Post also. :)

Lovely when a gorgeous super model like Charlotte Free makes Manic Panic Hair Color her trademark look!
Q: How did you end up with pink hair?
CF: When I was two or three, my cousins had pink hair and I always wanted to have my own rainbow. I was never allowed, but eventually, I dyed it myself with Manic Panic. After the first time, I went brighter and brighter.
Charlotte was also asked why she chose to go pink and stay pink, it had nothing to do with fashion. “I was really unhappy, so I dyed my hair. And then I wasn’t sad anymore.”

May/June ROCK SHOWS
Tish and Snooky rocked the Hudson Valley with the legendary BLUE COUPE - an all-star band starring Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Dennis Dunaway from the original Alice Cooper Group and original Blue Oyster Cult members Al and Joe Bouchard.
Tish & Snooky's own band, punk rock pioneers The Sic F*cks, have been rocking out all over town! Dressed in their legendary twisted nun’s attire from the Church of Rock and Roll, the Sic F*cks performed at the HOWL festival in the East Village and at a special Max's Kansas City Reunion Tribute at Bowery Electric. With upcoming CBGB shows and performances in Canada, this could become quite a disturbing "habit". Stay tuned.
