Hi Friends!! I’m back….so
sorry I have escaped you like that. A
LOT….I mean a LOT has gone on since I last posted about anything. I will catch you up on what’s been going on….
Since the last time I was here blogging, it was Summer 2013.
As Summer concluded last year, I flew to the fashion capital, the city that
never sleeps, the big apple – yes yes you know N-Y-C!! And while I was there……I was in the midst of
Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week – Spring/Summer 2014. And WOW was that a first time experience I
will never forget. You just feel the
energy in the air. From production
getting into gears setting up numerous shows, photographers and those flashes
going off what seemed to be every milla-second, tall beautiful models scurrying
from building to building, and of course the hair and makeup teams looking
fierce in their easy quick makeup looks with pops of colors and the black threads
of fashionable clothing pieces (aka the glam artist uniform) that look somewhat
very fashion forward – because it’s a fashion show….duh! LOL And lets not forget the talented stylists and
designers with piles of bags, rolling racks and hangers moving swiftly in
between shows. While there, I also
worked with a few agency models conducting shoots in which some of those photos
were published on their agency sites (kinda cool J)
After coming back from NYC, I jetted onto LA for their
Fashion Week events where I worked the POSH LA Fashion show. I visited the Arsenio Hall Show as well
networking with the Head Makeup Artist, in addition to also being on the studio
sets in the heart of Hollywood!
Then after, the holidays were commencing so things were
started to slow down – but not completely.
A few shoots I worked on where some pics got published as well.
After the holidays, came the New Year – and there I made the
biggest career change in my life. I
moved to Los Angeles!!! And boy has it
been a big change for sure. Lots of new
things to experience, and lots of new goals and plan I’ve put into action.
Starting with one of the goals, I wanted to branch out
working on different clients I never worked with before…and so I did. I began working with agency represented
kids!! And boy are they a joy to work
with. Everyone’s first thought is – oh gosh
kids…what torture they won’t sit still.
And to be honest, they do. They
are the quickest clients I ever worked with as well. They LOVEEE to be in the makeup chair, and
the love to be in front of a camera – who wouldn’t at that young age. J Once they get onset it’s like they become
these little adults, and so intrigued by all the production to get that “one
shot”.
Sooo now, as heading into Spring, it’s prom season, wedding
season, graduation season…..just a bunch of events starting to kick into gear
as we start to have this wonderful weather as well. So I will post some behind the scenes of some
projects I’m involved with.
Until then, I wanna say thank you so much for being loyal
and coming back to view my blog postings.
I honestly love sharing all sorts of ideas, tips and tricks (even stuff
I learn), to projects I’m working on – just things get so busy and hectic I get
tied up and can’t make time to just talk (blog) with you! L Please continue to check back for more
updates, there’s a lot I will be sharing.
J Have a good day beauties! xo
