Benind the Scenes : Saturday


I had a shoot on Saturday with photographer Christopher Kim. I couldn't stay for the shoot. I had to do a 'beat an run.' Had to meet the hubby for shopping at the green-market, lunch with a makeup mentor, and book studio time at MAC Pro. I can't wait to see the images from this shoot.

Boo-Hoo, Squish-Squish..(I'm crying dahlings!)

Okay. I'm disappointed, but inspired to make changes. I just lost out on a FIERCE TRANNY assisting gig because I don't have enough full makeup and lashes in my book. (I'm sure that's the reason why!) I know most of the photographers & agencies want nude makeup looks, but I'm gonna try to get a strong makeup and lashes look in from now on!! Most magazines do strong makeup (maybe not lashes) so I have to get on that level!!

I didn't write down what I used. I was lost and late.
The room we were using for prep had horrible fluorescent lighting.
Plus it was a 'no makeup' look. I don't mind doing it, but it doesn't inspire me.
But the girl was cool in that German-Continental way.
Well traveled, well spoken, and stunningly gorgeous!

Heatherette Party Tonight!

So tonight is the Heatherette party at MAC Soho, NYC. I don't think I'm gonna go! I did 2 Heatherette hauls, I also got the glitter since the Pro staffers mentioned I should get it while I was shooting there that day, and I just got my box of Heatherette back-ups!! Plus my tummy has been feeling sick all day and I doubt if the Heatherette gang are going to show up! I hope everyone that goes enjoys the Champagne and cupcakes!!

All about the new


This is Julie, very Peggy Moffat. She's a brand new girl from 1 Models. She's making all the rounds; Meisel, Testino.. Get her while she's still fresh and new!




So we're the first team to have a test shoot in the photo studio at the MAC Pro showroom in NYC. I have to admit, I was slightly apprehensive after booking the studio...but it turned out being a FAB experience!! Lots of energy from the makeup artists pumping through and positive vibes of excitement from the staff. The photographer loved the space and not having to shoot on the street. The music was fun and bouncy. The MAC Pro staff was great and the GM Bradford was very nice and accommodating, we were invited back to shoot again.

Party Time!






So last night was the Pro to Pro party hosted by MAC in NY. Tons of wine and trays of nibbly things were going around. The Heatherette collection was on counter, but for one night only! I got there kind of late so I don't know what the makeup presentation was about. It was great running into CS, and MC of and the rest of the crew JC. I think I'm gonna start buying some things to start bodypainting.

Heeeyy...Sugar, Sugar!!



MAC - Soho NYC
March 25th, 2008

MAC is launching a 'preview' night for the Heatherette collection, that is going on counter on March 20th!?! I saw it on counter last night during the MAC Pro to Pro party. I went back for what I put on my list (I hate shopping when I'm drunk on red wine, I always make mistakes) thinking it was going to be early on counter....NO!! I have to wait until the 20th!!! UGH!!

At any rate, I need a date for the party! Must be a NYC/NJ/CT resident. Sexy gay boys and hot straight girls only!! Please send pic an short essay telling me something fun about yourself.

When the Phone Rings!


Thursday; 03/06/08
10ish am

Literally drying my hands in my bathroom. My cell phone rings..
Brring Brring
Brring Brring

an unrecognizable 212 number shows on my cell phone.

Me: Yes hello?
Phone: Hi, This is X X from X Magazine.
Me: Um, hi..how are you?
X: I'm great, thanks. And you?
Me: I'm good, what's up? (slightly stunned and anxious)
X: Blank Blank received the postcard you sent him..
Me: Oh yea?
X: Yea, he asked me if you would mind sending down your book?
Me: Well I'm working today, and the rest of the week..
X: Don't worry about it, it's no rush. Can you call me on on Monday?
Me: Is this your number? I can lock it on my cell phone?
X: Great, talk to you on Monday.
Me: Great, have a good weekend X.
X. You too Jeffrey, bye.


On the FAB side of the coin: THIS IS MAJUH!!! I mean above 34th street, multi-publication majuh!! If they like my book, and decide to pass it around to other friends in the building they think I would be right for. This could be the start of something big.

On the REAL side: I can't get excited. These peoples see TONS of makeup portfolios daily. I'm sure their making a friendly gesture, (I was introduced through makeup artist SM) and their gonna go through my book. Send me a nice little letter with some words of advice, and tell me to keep testing.

However, when I call X on Monday...I will have to let her know I have to send some new images in for print I think they would like and I would like to drop my book off on Tuesday/Wednesday. Ask them to please view my dripbook for the new images of the moment.

Behind the Scenes with Bryce Ebel






So today was a great shoot with photographer Bryce Ebel at the fabulous Neo Studios. Naomi (Nomi) Porto did the hair, he does some fierce hair. Ran into another fave photog, Isaac Bearman. We ended up chatting models and possible shoots, for him, I don't mind casting models for tfcd. I just need to find an amazing re-toucher because he doesn't have time for it.
