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.

The Pets Alive Furr Ball

Pets Alive is one of the oldest no-kill organizations in the United States. Their mission is to improve the lives of companion animals everywhere by any means possible, including rescue, adoption, advocacy, collaboration, intervention and education. MANIC PANIC attended their gala Hudson Valley 2012 Furr Ball fund raiser and a Manic Panic gift basket was auctioned off at the raffle. Snooky and her husband Andy attended in memory of Keebler, the wonderful dog that they adopted from Pets Alive. Also in attendance were Tish and her husband Peter and Cindy and Dennis Dunaway

The event, in memory of style icon Evelyn Lauder, was hosted by actress Elizabeth Hurley and included a breathtaking performance by Sir Elton John.

Manic Panic makes headlines in the Sunday New York Times Magazine!!!

The feature spread "Easter Bonnets" appeared in the New York Times Style Section of their 2/19/12 Sunday full color glossy gorgeous magazine! Written by Sandra Ballentine, the article features full page photos of models with pastel hair color styled by celebrity stylist Orlando Pita. Sandra writes: "Sick of fluorescent tips, dips, tie-dye and highlights, we turned to Orlando Pita and the color team from Orlo, his Manhattan salon, to take the radical color trend to the next level. His mandate: soft, allover pastels that would coordinate with the palest confections from the spring collections. It had to be radical yet refined, cool but chic."

The hair color: Manic Panic, of course! To quote Orlando: "First, the girls’ hair had to be taken to its lightest hue, and then color (from Manic Panic) added and adjusted. Pita’s shade secret? “Manic Panic colors start out quite bright, so we tweaked them with different percentages of black and white,” he says. The girls were a bit skittish at first, but by the end they loved their new locks and were reluctant to go back to their old colors — Tine Furre kept her candy-floss pink tresses for a week, years in model time."

The hair is classy and beautiful! Can you guess what Manic Panic colors Orlando used? If you guessed Lie Locks™, Electric Banana®, Cotton™ Candy Pink + Virgin Snow™, and Bad Boy™ Blue - congratulations, you know your Manic Panic.

Here's a link to the full article on the New York Times blog.

At last....Fragrances by Tish & Snooky!

 

Tish and Snooky at last have created their very own tantalizing fragrances. These unique essential oils are reflections of their own personalities.

Snooky's perfume is a blend of two of nature's most intoxicating flowers grown in Hawaii, Plumeria and Pikake. "An exotic, free-spirited floral blend," says Snooky.

Tish's perfume contains vetiver, the root of a tropical grass native to India, Indonesia and Java. It has a clean woody aroma complemented by citrus. Mixed with secret ingredients this fragrance is spicy and fiery, like Tish!

They come in a roll on bottle and a little goes a long way! Right now I am wearing "Snooky" and I get tons of compliments on it. The smell is super sweet and lovely, but not overpowering like some perfume. All I did was place a tiny dab behind my ears and on my neck and it lasts all day.

Tish's fragrance is more dramatic. Very sexy and compelling. New York Nightlife meets New Orleans Voodoo! Couldn't have said it any better. 

The packaging is way cute. Each purse size fragrance comes with a black rose dipped in a special blend of MANIC PANIC's own glitter jewels. The bottles are embellished with rhinestones and glitter, and packed in a matching bag with a gift tag signed by Snooky or Tish. 1/3 fl. oz. 10 ml.

These make great gifts for the holidays!

You can order them from MANIC PANIC webstore
