English Summer Rain

My friend Alex Prager is currently in London where she had her UK solo debut last week at the Michael Hoppen Gallery.

"Virginia" is my favorite piece from the show...

I did the make up for this photo, and when I saw it, I thought I was going to cry!  Alex's photos are so surreal, and this one is just beautiful!

Passive Manipulation

I'd like to take a little break from blogging about Gnarls Barkley to show you these beauty shots I did with Jill Greenberg.

We did this shoot over a year ago, but I'm glad to finally be able to share them with you. :)

If You're Going Downtown...

I met photographer Beatrice Neumann when I was working with Gnarls Barkley.  She shot them for the cover of Trace magazine, which is set to hit stands in a couple of weeks.  Well Beatrice has a blog and she just did a cute post about our shoot.  Here's a picture of Beatrice with the GB boys....


Also, here's a shoot I did with Gnarls Barkley for The Source...

Dead Disco

Finally my favorite set of shots I did with Gnarls Barkley is starting to surface.  I just found this picture from the Day of the Dead theme we did.

This set up was a lot of fun, and it started getting all creepy and rainy while Claire and Jeremy were shooting it. My job is so cool sometimes.

Also... Can any of my British readers get me a couple copies of this?

I would really appreciate it!

Dream All Day

Amazing new product alert!

Benefit is coming out with a new pinker version of benetint called posietint!

I just got my hands on it and it's an amazing poppy-pink version of it's predecessor.  It's natural and sheer and lasts FOR HOURS on cheeks and lips!

Available in June!

Do we look like the kind of store that sells I Just Called to Say I Love You? Go to the mall.

Tomorrow is National Record Store Day!

One of my clients is in the new movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

I have the day off tomorrow so I'm planning to go see it at The Arclight and then I'm going to go across the street to Amoeba and buy the new Kooks cd.  

Support your local record store!

I'm Breaking My Back But It's All Good

My favorite new artist Lykke Li has a new video for her song I'm Good, I'm Gone.



She looks beautiful and the video is so cool! I'm pretty sure Mattias Montero directed it. I'm really dying to post the WeSC ad I did with him!

Cool As Kim Deal

It's good to know that I'm not the only one obsessing over this...

Here's another Gnarls Barkley photo I did with Claire and Jeremy

And here's one I did with a photographer I don't know (sorry, we did six photo shoots that day!)

There were also some pictures of them in last weeks Entertainment Weekly, but I can't find them online, and I don't feel like scanning them...

I've got some really cool ones coming out soon that I can't wait to show you!

I also just ran across this blog entry about the Louboutin manicure!

Woah! I would never wear my nails long enough to do this, but it's a fun idea!

There's actually a cool story behind why the souls of all Louboutin shoes are red...

"Louboutin shoes also have a trademark red leather sole, making them more recognizable. He got the idea from one of his employees. During a runway show Louboutin felt the shoe was missing something and saw that one of his employees had red Chanel nail polish on, and instantly, he felt that it would complete the shoe if he painted it on the sole of his shoe. Since then it became the signature of his shoes."

Cute!

Going Back Home To The West Coast

Here's a pictures from a cool shoot I did for the Women's Wear Daily Green issue.

And speaking of being "green"... I just bought a hybrid SUV and I am sooo psyched! I feel a lot less guilty about driving all over town now.

You Must Not Know I'm Me

This is Solange Knowles (Beyonce's sister)...

I know yellow is a big color right now, but I just don't even know what to say here...  What do you guys think?

Team Awesome

My friend Brooke Nipar commented on last night's post to tell me that Robert Greene is represented by See Management.  I looked at his portfolio, and just as I suspected... He is AMAZING!!!

As with most great make up artists, he comes from an art background. It's cool to see that we share a few clients! I love that!

Digital Observations

Awhile ago I saw this amazing beauty story in Missbehave magazine that was inspired by video games!  It kind of kills me that I didn't think of it.  It was shot by Ryan Michael Kelly and the amazing make up artist is named Robert Greene.  I've never heard of him before, and unfortunately when I google his name, I can't find a website for him.  I would love to see more of his work.

I See You Hearing Me

I'm blogging to you from the desert right now.  I'm on a two day music video shoot out in Lancaster.  It's almost 2am and I just got to my hotel.  It was freeeeezing out there tonight, but at least I wasn't the girl in the tiny dress running through the desert... That girl happens to be none other than Fernanda Romero, whose make up I recently did for Maxim!  

It's always nice to run into a familiar face...  Such a small world sometimes!
