Hit_The _Road_Jack!

"...and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more!"


"Hit the Road Jack is a song written by rhythm and bluesman Percy Mayfield and first recorded in 1960 as an a capella demo. It became famous after it was recorded by singer-pianist Ray Charles. It hit number one for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning on Monday, October 9, 1961. The song was also number one on the R&B Sides chart for five weeks, becoming Ray Charles' sixth number one on that chart.The song is ranked #377 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.



"Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
 You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.
 I guess if you say so
 I have to pack ma things and go. -That's right-"


Certainly in this case we had to deal with a "powerful" face. Mikaela has astonishing face angles, which present a strong character. She looks mean and scared at the same time. Moreover, Mikaela is the "ancient greek beauty" type: brown hair and eyebrows, wonderful big eyes, fleshy lips, angles and particular -in a good way- nose. Stefi used a simple smokey make-up and a nude colour lipstic in order to show off model's eyes. Elise focused mainly on portraits and the result looks powerful & harmonic at the same time. Regarding the styling, i preferred to play with "Art Deco" minimalistic accessories and use metallic elements, beads, crystals and small mirrors. 


Defence
*the epaulettes were a last-minute add, but surely completed the outfit_Mikaela's pose is really strong and defensive_i believe that Elise chose right and stayed in black and white tones.


Naturalness
*"Well baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
 Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.
 -Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood-
-you ain't got no money you just ain't no good.-
 Well, I guess if you say so
 I'd have to pack my things and go. -That's right-"


View_from_the_top
*i told you that her eyes are amazing, even in black and white shades_Mikaela wears an original Harley Davidson biker jacket.
