Adios L.A.

I'm hopping on a plane, and heading to Toronto! I am in store for an amazing trip, too. I wish everyone a safe, fun, and sunblock filled Memorial Day.
Deuces.

Au-naturale vs Made-up

I am a make-up artist, and very much in love w/ my job. Take a look at the pics below - Kate Moss, Penelope Cruz and Eva Longoria w/ no make-up. Now, respect what the hell I do! [smile]

The Power of White

This is my ode to white, a color i've neglected for far too long. This summer, I told myself i'd incorporate more white into my wardrobe. Stay tuned!

SUNO

I dig SUNO, and their vibrant, pattern-filled clothing. The brand was founded in 2008 by Max Osterweis, after a decade of collecting textiles in Kenya. The rest is history. Check out the Fall 2009 lookbook below:

Lightening!

It's true. You're my lightening bolt.

You're kidding me, right?

These DSquared2 shoes are over $800. Overpriced is my opinion.

This is BIG, more like HUGE!

The woman in the picture below is BRILLIANT! She's beyond talented, beyond creative...hell, she's the shit, straight up. She's my mentor, constantly inspiring me, and daily motivation for this hustle, aka make-up. Her name is Pat McGrath, and she's a make-up artist - thee best one [in my opinion], and one of the highest paid [making around $30,000 an hour, i hear!]

She is responsible for the looks you see below:
Now that I have that out the way, here is the HUGE news! Pat McGrath introduces Dolce&Gabbana-The Make Up. Pat McGrath will innaugurate the anticipated collection’s U.S. debut at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship location in New York City.
[WAIT FOR IT]
McGrath and her team of fashion week artists will conduct personal consultations with customers to illustrate beauty tips and application techniques focusing on the naturally enhancing and transformative elements of Dolce&Gabbana The Make Up, as first seen on the runway during Milan Fashion Week.
When you ask?

Customers may schedule an appointment by contacting: 212-940-4949
IF YOU ARE IN NEW YORK, CALL AND MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT! I'm so jelly i'm not there, I could crumble up a piece of paper, soak it in lighter fluid, light a match, and throw it! lol

The colors in this collection are pretty. Blues, purples...etc.

2009 Costume Institute Gala

The gala took place yesterday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The exhibition "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" served as the theme. Here are my fav's:
Cindy Crawford - love her! ..and her dress is sexy. [by Versace]
Kate Moss - I love metallics, esp. gold, and who doesn't love that headwrap!

Leighton Meester - in Vuitton, and I love it!

Amber Rose & Kanye - Va va voom Amber! ...sexy. You already know what designer Kanye is reppin'.

Rihanna - in Dolce & Gabbana. I dig this look, and admire the confidence necessary to pull it off. I also love the poofy shoulders on the jacket.
Now, my least favorites:
Jessica Alba - you are too pretty to be walking around looking like this.

Madonna - Madge, wtf.

Victoria Beckham - Mrs. Beckham, I despise your liking for short dresses with LARGE additions on the back - ugly.

Just Married

Mike Schreiber is having a show!
