My second character is going to be a mental patient, who is imagining spiders in their brain because they've gone mad from sleep deprivation.
ORIGIN OF THE IDEA
I remembered hearing about a case like this in Psychology at A Level and it stuck with me. The Fatal Hairdo project brief is the perfect opportunity to combine this real psychological case with a make-up shoot, so I'm really looking forward to playing with it.
PETER TRIPP
Peter Tripp was a DJ in the Fifties who completed a 201 wakeathon for charity. Before the wakeathon he was said to be a pleasantly man who was happy and light-hearted After the wakeathon, for the rest of his life, he was grouchy, unpleasant, aggressive and it ruined his marriage.
Towards the end of the wakeathon he began to hallucinate, and one of his main hallucinations was that there were spiders in his shoes. I want to apply this idea to my project brief and have a model who, through sleep deprivation, believes spiders are nesting in her hair and brain.
