More than a Makeover

May 25, 2010 Feel Good Fashion, Looking Good 5 comments

Happy Monday friends! I’m having such a great start to my week today, mainly because I just received this letter and had to share:

Hello Jeannie ,

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you. The short time you and i spent together was something i will take with me forever. You see the entire staff was so amazing and so encouraging the through the entire process . You however said one thing to me that will stick with me always . You said that I was an amazing mother to autumn but since I was not taking care of myself as a woman should , I was in turn not teaching autumn to be ladylike and womanly. Today we went shopping for the first time since my reveal on friday and we had fun trying on clothes and buying make up. Autumn actually asked me to buy her a dress . Thanks to your words my lil girl and I are ready for womanhood.

I received this from a remarkable woman who was our guest this past week on my show “How Do I Look” on Style Network. A single mother from the Bronx, Illiana literally had the eye of the tiger and the heart of an angel. Illliana shared a unique story that set her apart from the more common reasons for a makeover, describing how her rough upbringing left her prioritizing every single other person in her life besides herself. It was so rewarding for me to go back to those “first” moments every girl needs to experience no matter what age: first time in heels, first time getting her hair done, even first time being able to feel pretty!! Illiana had me in tears when she revealed herself on our live stage on Hollywood and Highland simply because my chest filled up with pride that she was finally on the receiving end of all she’s done for others. Then to look out into the audience and see the very special guest we flew in to celebrate these “firsts” for Illiana as well!

You’ll just have to watch and see how Illiana’s gorgeous look turned out. New season airs July 10th, Saturdays 8/7c!

Happiest Holidays to How Do I Look?

December 23, 2009 Fun 3 comments

The spectacular talented crew of my show How Do I Look and I just wrapped up our second season up with a memorable holiday party. When I describe these guys as spectacular, I mean it down to every glitz of the word. Not only is every person on our crew genuine and dedicated to making each episode it’s very best– but they take the personal time and effort to ensure our How Do I Look guests feel as special as they are. There’s nothing more rewarding for me as a host than to hear the guests on my show say they feel “made over” through our crew’s TLC before the makeover itself.

So, what’s the best way to capture this *creative, fun loving crew in their fashionable best? Thru the entertaining talents of Shinobi Studio Photography, the one stop shot to creating memories.

See exactly what I mean here, and vote for your fave!

(Btw, these Shinobi Studio studs, Henry and Garrick, are the same rockstars I used to capture my makeover event for the elders this last month. They’re amazing guys, and will customize their photography to suit EVERY element of your celebration. Do give em a call for any photo worthy event–these guys can make anything happen and are my fave papz now :)
**Thanks Jamal and everyone who made our night happen.**
*- “drunk”. At least at this holiday party :)
