KIMBERLY WYATT IS WELL KNOWN AS THE STUNNING PUSSYCAT DOLL WHO CAN STRETCH HER LEG FAR OVER HER HEAD (AND DOES SO ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS) I CAUGHT UP WITH KIMBERLY, OVER A LATTE, TO TALK ABOUT BEAUTY, DANCE, LIFE, MUSIC AND OF COURSE, THE FUTURE AFTER THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS.
KIMBERLEY TELL US ABOUT THE LAST 24 HOURS.
PHEW! NONSTOP, I HAVE BEEN ALL AROUND LONDON FOR THE ‘GOT TO DANCE’ SHOW, JUST LITERALLY RUNNING HERE THERE AND EVERY WHERE. I AM ALSO WORKING ON MY NEW ALBUM, A REALLY EXCITING PROJECT, MY NEW BAND IS CALLED ‘HER MAJESTY AND THE WOLVES” WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW ALBUM.
OH REALLY? WHO’S WE?
MY FRIEND SPENCER AND I, WE BOTH WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING BIGGER THAN LIFE AND GET REALLY CREATIVE, SPENCER IS A REALLY GOOD FRIEND, WE HUNG OUT IN THE SAME CIRCLES AND PREVIOUSLY BOTH WORKED ON SOME SOLO MATERIAL, WE REALLY GELLED WELL, AS A RESULT WE WROTE ALL OF THE MATERIAL FOR THE ALBUM TOGETHER.
FABULOUS BAND NAME WHAT WAS THE THINKING BEHIND THAT?
THE NAME IS DEFINITELY AN EXTENSION OF THE TWO OF US, THE CREATIVE THINKING WE WANTED WE WANTED TO GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING THEY HADN’T SEEN BEFORE, THE ALBUM WILL BE OUT EARLY NEXT YEAR.
WE CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT! IN THE MEANTIME DO YOU STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS?
THE ORIGINAL GROUP IS PRETTY MUCH DISBANDED AND WE ARE ALL DOING OUR OWN THING, AT THE MOMENT HOWEVER ASHLEY IS MY BEST FRIEND.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR CAREER SO FAR THEN?
GOODNESS, I THINK WINNING TWO VMA MOONMEN WAS SO AMAZING. NOT ONLY FOR OUR MUSIC BUT FOR DANCE VIDEO AND BEST DANCING IN A VIDEO, AS I STARTED AS A DANCER THAT MEANT SO MUCH TO ME, AND BEING ABLE TO SPEAK OUT ON BEHALF OF ALL DANCERS OUT THERE AND LETTING THEM KNOW WE ARE WHAT MAKES MUSIC LOOK GOOD AND WE’RE THE REASON BEHIND WHAT MAKES EVERY PERFORMANCE A BLAST TO WATCH.
SO HOW ARE YOU ENJOYING YOUR ROLE AS A JUDGE ON UK SHOW GOT TO DANCE?
I AM REALLY ENJOYING THE SHOW ‘GOT TO DANCE’, AND ‘LIVE TO DANCE’ AS IT’S CALLED IN THE US, WHEN I LEFT THE DOLLS MY BIGGEST WANT WAS TO STAY CONNECTED WITH THE DANCE, WHEN I WAS PRESENTED WITH THE OPPORTUNITY I FELT LIKE THAT WAS DESTINY.
HOW DO YOU STAY IN SHAPE?
I LEAD A VERY BUSY LINE WITH 2 TV SHOWS, WORKING ON MY NEW MAKEUP LINE, MY DANCE WORK, I TRY TO EAT A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE I EAT ORGANIC, I WATCH MY PORTIONS, RUN 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK, BUT I DON’T DENY MYSELF THE ODD INDULGENCE HERE AND THERE, I LIKE TO BAKE, I LOVE TO EAT WARM FRESHLY BAKED CAKES WITH A COLD GLASS OF MILK.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WOMEN IN UK AND THEY WAY THEY LOOK?
I LOVE THE FASHION I LIKE THE COLOURS, AND THE CREATIVITY, I FEEL LIKE I FIT IN HERE IN THE UK, ITS ECLECTIC AND I LOVE THAT, I DABBLE IN ELEGANT AS WELL AS AND ALSO A LOT OF LOCAL QUIRKY LONDON DESIGNERS THAT ARE UP AND COMING, MY FAVOURITE BRANDS ARE ALL SAINTS, I LOVE GOING TO CAMDEN, IT’S SO FASCINATING THE STYLE AND MIX OF PEOPLE.
WHO’S YOUR FAVOURITE DESIGNER?
VIVIENNE WESTWOOD, SHE’S AMAZING.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR NEW ECO-FRIENDLY MINERAL MAKE-UP BRAND ‘LOVE THE PLANET’?.
I ALWAYS HAD A LOVE FOR PAYING WITH MAKE-UP AND CLOTHES, IT COMES FROM BEING A PERFORMER, THROUGH DEALING WITH SO MANY PRODUCTS I’VE COME TO A BETTER AWARENESS OF THE FOODS THAT I EAT AND THE PRODUCTS THAT I USE ON MY SKIN, MY FRIENDS LAURA AND I CAME UP WITH SOME IDEAS ABOUT WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE SKIN FREE THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE USUAL TOXINS AND CHEMICALS, SO WE FORMULATED OUR OWN PRODUCTS.
WHAT’S SO UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR MAKE-UP PRODUCTS?
THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS MAKE UP LINE IS COVERAGE, IT’S HARD TO FIND GOOD MAKE-UP THAT GIVES GOOD COVERAGE YET DOESN’T HARM OR OVER CLOG THE SKIN, THE RANGE IS SUPER COLOURFUL YET NATURAL AND GOOD. IT’S ALL ABOUT FEELING GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AND HOW YOU FACE THE WORLD. LOVE THE PLANET MAKEUP BY BM BEAUTY HAS A REALLY GOOD PHILOSOPHY THAT ECHOES THE ETHOS OF MY WEBSITE WWW.BEAUTIFULMOVEMENTS.COM, BEAUTIFUL MOVEMENTS IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN COMMUNICATE AND SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS.
