The Big Easy Awards

Earlier this morning I had a photo shoot with Woman's Day Magazine. But I had to make it back into New Orleans because my call time for The Big Easy Awards was for 4:30pm. Fashion stylist @jlscloset was a life saver by putting together my clothing. She had everything laid out for me at the office. The event took place at The Sugar Mill right across from the Convention Center. This was my third time working with Gambit Weekly doing hair & makeup for The Big Easy Awards. I always enjoy working with Gambit Weekly...Margo in the staff are always good to me. After a 16 hour day I was exhausted but had a great time.

ELSA BOADMAN FASHION SHOW

On June 13th Miss Sassy and I attended a fashion show for a good associate of our ELSA BOADMAN. Elsa is a local stylist and designer who I have worked with only a few times. In May during one of my shoots she told me she was putting together her fashion show. She sent us tickets and I was afraid I was going to miss it but I made it just in time...no really just in time. As the MC was walking away the DJ was starting the music for the first model to come out. Here I come running to hurry in sit in the first row. MISS SASSY shook her head at me cuz I stopped at the bar before coming in like normal people to get my seat:)

The show was great, so very proud of her. Anyway, CUE magazine did a great 4 page spread on her (35-37). What's really cute, the writer contacted me a few days later and asked me my opinion on the show. The photographer was able to get MISS SASSY and the picture but my dress,huge handbag and my hair made it but not my face:(

CONGRATS ELSA...MISS SASSY and I are so proud of you!!!!

GLAM LIFE OF A MAKEUP ARTIST

Wedding Makeup Article

I got a call this morning at 7:52 am, and I jumped up thinking my bride was calling me because I wasn't at the hotel. You know that maybe I over slept or something. But it was a new bride calling to book me after seeing an article on me in this month Gambit Weekly L'Image Wedding Insert. I was so exhausted that all I can hear was an exciting young girl on the other end who was just going on and on. I was just relived that it wasn't my bride calling me saying I was a no show. That is something that scare me all the time that one day I am going to be so tired that I will over sleep and not show up to one of my brides wedding.

So of course, I roll over and pull up the Gambit page (laptop next to my side of the bed)and sure enough there's a picture of me and an interview I did with them some time ago on page 22 and 23. Because, it's been a minute I completely forgot all about it and my publicist has not called me to tell me anything. I guess she was not informed either.

What a great way to start my SATURDAY...Thanks Gambit for featuring me in L'Image...I love you guys. Off to my bride Scarlet Pollard at the Lowes Hotel.
