It all started with the best kinda kickstart- a romp up Runyon Canyon with my homeslice Melissa. Here’s why it was awesome. a) she didn’t flake (www.zipit.com Katie and Sarah. b) she let me know she was afraid of heights when we got here.
c) We made it to my prayer box to shove some luv someone’s way…and look adorable to take this.
After a quick VO session, I jammed across town to enjoy the next part of my super day- a photoshoot set up with my smashin in fashion studmuffin stylist Sam Russel. Not only was he styling me up with his saucy picks, but he was joined with an incredible team of professionals I have to blog about cuz these humble gents won’t pop their own collars. We’ve got Mr. Jeff Jones, an incredible artist who painted my face and rocked my locks like I’ve never seen, an adorable assistant James John Jetel who tended to us with his picture perfecting eye and warm hospitality, and a fabulous Eric Raptosh, a photographer extraordinaire who brought all the elements of my style, my emotions, his vision, to life.
Thank you gentlemen. These pictures barely describe all the wonderful work these boys put into the entire day, so you’ll just have to make it back here to see the fantastic pics. And guess what– I’m not the only one that can get blessed with Eric Raptosh’s wicked talented eye, you too can get a memorable shot of yourself, and for a terrific cause. Eric will be generously donating his time to perform Headshots For Haiti, a perfect opportunity for you talents (or anyone who just wants to have your own clicks for a cause) to get your headshots taken for a donated price. Sign up fast- as the offer is only tomorrow, Monday 2/15.
And finally what better way to top off the night than to gather together with all my fans for the Mai-never-censored, always edu-taining-Live Chat. I just posted the video here below for those of you that missed it, along with links for mai must-haves mentioned.
Best makeup book for ANY ethnic face and features: Asian Faces by Taylor Chang-Babaian. By far the BEST I’ve found to detail and outline every wonderful feature your face was sculpted to have.
Organization I’m set to volunteer with in 2 weeks!: Heartbeat Vietnam (Details coming Wed!)
Colors I used on Jill’s gorgeous face: MAC cream color base in Slick, Klish Klash MAC lipgloss, #224, 242 MAC brushes.
Happy Vday, Chuc mung nam moi (Happy Chinese New Year) and muah! Stay tuned for the giveaways I share in this blog about the above great finds
Um. Yea. I just found out tomorrow night’s episode of How Do I Look (Style Network 8/7c) is going to be with guest Fun Loving Forest. I say this with a forced smile..cuz she wasn’t feeling “fun”, and I for damn sure wasn’t feelin any love.
This was a really challenging episode for me and I have no idea how it’ll turn out. All I can tell you is that Forest and I disagree on everything, I feared the entire time she’d leave the show, and she’s the first guest ever to make me lose my cool.
As many makeovers as I’ve done, I still get incredibly giddy, nervous, excited and impatient about the outcome. What if she doesn’t like it? Will she be encouraged to give herself this time everyday? The hardest thing for nearly every woman who’s let herself go for so long (usually because of family, financial stress, broken self confidence..) is to allow herself to actually believe she was beautiful to begin with.
To chat with me during the live show, you can sign up for a UStream account or you can use your Twitter account (you’re following me right?).
I’d love to hear your thoughts, catch up on the latest in fashion, and just have some good girl talk about anything else u feel like gabbing about on a Saturday night (boys, u can jump on for relationship advice too. I’m a doctor when it comes to LuV).
This is a great episode about a stubborn busy mom who will not let me prove that she could look better. (And wait till u see how serious this teacher takes her style to school!!) I’d love to hear your thoughts and share the behind the scene goodies that you don’t get to see on screen.
Stay tuned here for updates on how to log on as my Site-Master Steven is going to help me with steps to get u logged on for tomorrow.
