VAN SMITH
SUSAN LOWE  -  BEFORE & AFTER
Other Vans ´ beauty´  challenge was turning Susan Lowe into the hideous bull-dyke character, Mole, for Desperate Living.  Susan was quite attractive in real life, and when I offered her the part,  I explained the drawback. She would hav to chop off her long beautiful hair,  bleached it out, and have it styled into a very masculine flattop.  Van also wanted her to grow back her finely plucked eyebrowns and never shave her legs.  Sue tried to gently break the news to her boyfriend and children  and they took it in stride,  never imagining how far we´d go.  Van attached fake warts and moles to her face and added a single hair to each.  To top off this startling vision, he modeled together a wardrobe from clothes found intrash bins outside the Salvation Army.  When Sue´s own children saw Mommy´s new look,  they run from her in fear,  and her boyfriend took a leave of absence
