So, part 1 of the season 2 reunion show of Basket Ball Wives LA aired last week and part 2 will air this Monday. I did Miss Gloria for last year’s reunion and was happy to hook her up again for this year’s reunion. She wore a white leather and chiffon dress so we felt like the make-up should be lots of lashes and eyeliner with a dark dramatic lip and a side swept wavy look for her hair. Check out the make-up details below…… Thanks a million, Gloria, for calling me for the job!!
So, of course, by now you know that I was fortunate enough to do Octavia’s hair and make-up for her fantastic award season last year, culminating in her Oscar win. It was such an exciting time for me as well. So, this year award season has begun and Octavia has lots of events to attend. It’s been a deja’ vu experience as we work our ‘get ready for the carpet routine.’ Here are a few images from the exciting events Octavia has attended in the last 2 weeks in beautiful designs by Tadashi Shoji.…. starting with Jay Leno and The Ellen Show…. and ending with her shoot for Elle Magazine!

Looking good, Octavia!!
So, this year the MTV Video Music Awards had a few celebs sporting newly chopped haircuts. I love, love, love short haircuts and truly miss the lack of its popularity these days, with the hair extension craze in full effect! For some reason, it is believed that short hair is not sexy and long hair is the only way to go. But, I say that sexy is an attitude and the creativity that short hair allows is unparalleled. So, here is a shout-out to the short haired beauties who have proved that short IS Sexy!!

So bright colors are still trending and one of my favorite colors this summer is Orange. Although I am really partial to black… for summer orange just adds a fresh look. It even goes really nice with black as you can see by the orange duster Dawn Richard modeled in Issue 13 of Regard Magazine. I put together some other ideas on how to add some orange into your summer wardrobe….. Have fun….
