Shoe Envy:Twilight Saga Style



With The Twilight Saga: Eclipse starting on tomorrow, I felt it was most appropriate to dedicate this week's Shoe Envy to two Twilight cast mates, Dakota Fanning and Christian Serratos. It's kind of funny that both ladies chose these nude studded Louboutins to wear to the premiere last week in LA, but I guess when a pair of shoes as HAWT as these come by, who cares who else is wearing them. These Louboutins are sexy with a splash of edge. I just love the studs, which are definitely hot this season. Love, love, love them!!!

See ya, with love!

Expensive Toys


I'm not into the whole model car collection and all the little vices men seem to enjoy, but if I had to indulge, this Bugatti Veyron Diamond Ltd. Edition model car would be my pick. That is, if I was a millionaire ;)! Listed as the most expensive model car, this luxurious item is made of 24-carat gold, platinum, and diamonds. Designed by Stuart Hughes of Liverpool and Swiss luxury car maker Robert Gulpen, this little beauty has working doors, bonnet with a 16-cylinder "W" engine, and a rotating steering wheel. The price tag, well, that's just a "mere" 2 million, which can actually purchase 2 of the real cars. Only three have been made, so whoever owns one of these, Ill just say, "I envy you".

See Ya!

The Penthouse Suite: Iphone 3GS Supreme Rose



Since its Iphone 4g pandemonium right now, I thought it would be fitting to talk about the granddaddy, the penthouse suite of all Iphones, the Iphone 3GS Supreme Rose. While the average person is on the waiting list for the 4g which was released this month, the real ballers are sporting the 3GS Supreme Rose around. With approximately 200 diamonds and 271 grams of 22-carat solid gold, u too can have this for just $1.93 million, ;). The front bezel is beautifully handmade from platinum with 130, .75 flawless diamonds totaling 97.5 carats. Also, in the diamond bezel are 4 pink baguette diamonds totaling 2.5 carats. The rear section is formed with circa 112 grams of 18-carat rose gold along with 53 diamonds encrusted in the rose gold apple logo. British designer Stuart Hughes definitely didn't believe in too many diamonds, because even the navigation button is a single, 7.1 carat diamond in rose gold. This 32 GB design took 10 months to produce, but it encompasses everything you could ever dream of; Chic, sleek, lots of bling, and is even factory unlocked for worldwide use! Definitely Luxury at its finest!!!!

Grown Ups Screening


Last night my mom and I decided to have a mother-daughter night out and go see the new Adam Sandler flick, Grown Ups. When I tell you this movie was hysterical, we literally couldn't stop laughing. I didn't expect it to be soooo funny because usually too many great comedians in one movie kinda deflates the funny. Well, this all-star comedic cast put that stigma to rest. Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James (whom I just love), David Spade, and Rob Schneider kept me in stitches. Great family movie with lots and lots of laughs. Go check it out, starts today!!!

See Ya with love!

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu interview on Tavis Smiley Report:


Three 10 hour days outside working with director Jonathan Demne and Tavis Smiley was a challenge. The hours was not bad since I am use to 12 hours or more when on the L'OREAL PARIS makeup tour. It was the heat, and I still don't understand how Tavis did it everyday wearing black linen. But I guess that's why I was hired to be the makeup artist. I think I still have a tan from the extreme heat...lol.  It was an pleasure working with Tavis Smiley & Jonathan Demne. I always enjoy working with now Mayor of New Orleans Mitch Landrieu. Mayor Landrieu has a great personality that many may not get to see but he cracks me up every time I work with him.

Tavis Smiley was in town to film the second half of his story; New Orleans Been in the Storm Too Long. It will premiere on Wednesday July 21, 2010 at 8pm/7pm c

Tiffany & Co Presents The New Orleans Saints Superbowl Ring




Last Wednesday @misssassy380 and I were one of a few in New Orleans to see The Official New Orleans Saints Super Bowl Ring right after it was received. @misssassy380 selected for us to have girl bonding night @RooseveltNO .We went to dinner to catch up, talk about Essence Music Festival & Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami. After dinner we moved over to the bar enjoying our 5th Bellini's.












A few familiar faces started coming into the bar all carrying my favorite, a sky blue Tiffany & Co bag. Of course we both recognized that bag. In March the kids and I purchased Miss Sassy birthday gifts from there. So when the guys and their wives came over by us, Miss Sassy asked if that was the rings, of course we could only ask but to try the ring on.

















My buddy Garrett Hartley was so excited that night. He kept hugging me and he was so cute saying he now has juice to request me to be his makeup artist for now on. I don't think I ever seeing him with that much bling. I met Garrett when he wasn't playing so I really didn't know much about what position he played. But I am proud of him. Ladies...he's a sweet young baby.

















The ring is glamxurious...those diamonds are heavy. My little finger was hurting the next day...lol.

















How amazing to share that moment with baby girl...

















In the proud tradition on honoring achievement, Tiffany & Co., creator of the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Super Bowl XLIV championship rings, introduces the New Orleans Saints collection, featuring the Super Bowl XLIV champions' commemorative logo.

Superbowl Bling


Last night was definitely a night I will remember and cherish forever. Me and B went to the Roosevelt Hotel in downtown New Orleans for drinks and some good ole girl talk when we were pleasantly surprised with some bling, Superbowl bling that is! The Superbowl champs, the New Orleans Saints, were having their ring ceremony on this night and I guess we were just in the right place at the right time. The 14-karat, yellow gold, diamond encrusted Fleur de lis designed Tiffany and Co. ring was a true beauty. To see this gem in person was a moment so precious. However, the icing on the cake was when I slipped this beauty on my finger, took a deep breath, and took this moment in. OMG, I could have died. I'm so proud of these boys and my city and all we have accomplished this past year. I'm so ready for Two Dat, I can't wait until August. Drinks and appetizers at Roosevelt $100.00, sliding Superbowl ring on...priceless!!!!!!


See Ya!!!

My New York Bride


Today's Jewish wedding was amazing, I loved all of the rituals and the tradition that takes place during the wedding ceremony. My New York bride Kelly wore a beautiful cream lace fitted dress and a fab cream bird cage veil with a flower and ostrich feathers. Kelly hired me for all day to do makeup on her, the wedding party and her family.


Because Kelly is a strawberry blonde I kept her makeup very similar to colors that I would used on a ginger (redhead). I worked with Kelly before so I already knew what I was going to do with her makeup. Her only request was that she wanted to be airbrushed.
*OCC Airbrush makeup; foundation & blush
*L'OREAL PARIS HIP eyeshadow duo in sassy
*L'OREAL PARIS HIP cream eyeliner in brown
*L'OREAL PARIS colour riche lipstick in peach fuzz
*NYX Cosmetics white eye pencil
*Ardell individual eyelashes in soft brown

Brides always say when they are selecting the bridesmaids dresses that they like to select a dress the bridesmaids could wear on a later date. Well the dress Kelly chose for her girls were a red & white floral cocktail dress that is perfect for any spring or summer day. Very cute and can be worn with a flat shoe or cute sandals. All of the men wore a tan suede kittel on their head. I love how the chuppah was decorated with twigs and a hint of sage fabric. The ketubah was hand made on a very delicate beautiful fabric. During the seven blessings the rabbi and the family all recited it together. Of course the ending of the ceremony was done with the breaking of the glass and a shout of "Mazel Tov". The bride and groom went to the yichud room, the only place I could not follow her to :))) The Mitzvah dance was fun to watch. I watched from a distance to take it all in. Kelly was very sweet and made sure that I was seated at the formal dinner with her guest. I sat at table 11, a family that was seated at the table made my day by saying I looked like Janet Jackson:))) my favorite artist all time. At 10:30pm I was done for the evening.


I guess the guest loved my work because I ran out of business cards. A lot of the ladies wanted my card to book me next year for weddings in New York, Washington D.C., Miami, and Ohio.

Glam Up Your Lashes



As little girls, we have all watched our mothers in the mirror meticulously tending to her lashes with an eyelash curler. Every bride wants to look glamxurious on their wedding day to help widen their eyes and enhance their natural lashes. Whether she’s getting married in the morning or the evening, in the church or on a beach, a little pop is what every bride wants when it comes to their makeup.

There are so many varieties of lashes on the market; strips, individual, clusters, minx, and semi permanent. Fake lashes are available in many colors, lengths, shapes and sizes. The two main lash colors are black and soft brown. The great thing about these inexpensive gems is that they can be reused. Just store them in their original packaging to help retain their shape.

A bride’s eyes tell the story of her wedding, and lashes accentuate that memorable tale. A wedding is the whimsical fantasy for all women and what bride is complete without her bold beautiful lashes. Here are the key items you will need to apply these great finishers.

To apply your fake eyelashes you will need the following items;

Fake eyelashes
Eyelash glue
Small scissors
Tweezers
Mascara
