✨ She's incoming. ✨ Meet our next guest: Darian Darling @moidariandarling ! LA-based makeup artist, beauty illustrator, creative consultant, and lifelong Jem fan who has been in this fandom longer than most of us knew where to find each other. ㅤ In the late 90s, Darian created JEM Grrrlz!, one of the very first websites dedicated to Jem and the Holograms. She helped build this community before there was even a word for that. And now she's coming to JemCon 2026. ㅤ Her work has been featured in Vogue, Interview, The Face, and Grazia. She draws inspiration from glam rock, vintage cosmetics, and pop iconography. Vogue once called her "a modern-day Pierre La Roche." We call her one of ours. ㅤ JemCon 2026: All In The Style — September 11–13, San Diego 💖 Link in bio or comment REGISTER and we'll DM you the deets. ㅤ
