Hey Hey Hey!
I didnt mean to be away for so long - I just got really jam packed with work and then I needed to catch up on my every day life. I've missed you all!!
So... where I've been!
I was selected to work with Celebrity Makeup Artist Kim Baker's Team Glamazon for NJ FASHION WEEK! It was such an awesome experience to not only do makeup for NJ Fashion Week, but to have been picked by very important people in this industry to be a part of it... ahhh priceless!
It was hard work, and exhausting all in itself, but I wouldnt have had it any other way. If you want to make it in this industry, YOU NEED TO WORK! Work from the ground up, slave, be someones assistant, do all the ground work before you can remotely see the top. I have been blessed, very blessed, and I cant thank God any more for the opportunities that have been thrown my way.
Here are just a few photos for you to check out what it was like!
(All these photos BELONG TO ME. You do not have permission to obtain, use, forward, etc. unless approved by myself!)
Backstage looks NOTHING like the runway... it's an absolute zoo! It's organized chaos with occasional unorganized chaos - but worth it in every way! In the photos with women and men dressed in black we were the elite team under Celebrity Makeup Artist Kim Baker for Team Glamazon.
I had the opportunity and privilege of meeting Kim G. of the New Jersey Housewives, Miguel from Jerseylicious (whom I had a lovely conversation with about his career in makeup and hair, I absolutely adore that man!), Donnella Tillery (Founder of NJ Fashion Week), Miss Teen America 2011 Katarina Kneer, and most of the designers of the clothing for the runway show.
I have also been privileged to work with Designer Darius Gibbs, as I touched up his makeup right before his runway show. He also personally invited me to work with him at 2 of his fashion shows in upcoming weeks!
This is where I've been for part of my week off from you guys!
I hope you all understand that my career is taking off rapidly and sometimes by surprise so if I am gone for a few days I sincerely apologize!
Cant wait to catch up on your blogs and see whats going on!
XO!
