Jewelry Shoot In Tucson

So this week I was in Tucson on a jewelry shoot.

I took my flipcam and made you a little behind the scenes movie.
This time I used flipcam's music in the background.
Be warned
It gets LOUD!
I couldn't figure how to turn it down...

It was a fun day!

Violetta, Violetta!!

So back at the Golden Globes at the beginning of the year
I fell in love with Sandra Bullock's violet eyeshadow.

This spring is so much about the violets and the lilac eyeshadows.They are so fresh and beautiful!

Anyway, we made you a little video

The colors aren't showing quite as well on this one,

Its All About The Bling

I thought you might find this interesting.

This week I'm shooting some catalogue.
And I need my models to have a gorgeous,
warm tan, healthy glow.
And we're barely into spring,so they're still a little on the pasty side.

So I use Scott Barnes Body Bling to warm them up.

It comes in 2 shades, original and platinum.
Its gives the skin an exquisite glow.
So beautiful.
Think JLo.

That's who Scott created it for.
He's her fave makeup artist.

He's the one who gave her that gorgeous
monochromatic tanned with pale lip look
that she has made so iconic.

You can look iconic too.
Just avoid the tanning beds.
Like the plague.

And work the bling.

When You Wu Me Jason...

I love this pink feathered Jason Wu dress
more than words can say.
I've been carrying around pictures of it
for ages.

scary make up, divine dress.

Its perfect.
Fun for Easter
Fun for doing groceries.
Fun.
Want.
Crave.

Iman loves it too.

I also love this feather skirt from Adam
with a cashmere T.
What a fun egg hunt that would be!

Happy Easter!

Are You An Angel Or A Demon??

Oh the hotness of it!!
Who even cares what this fragrance smells like?
I'd buy it just because the picture is so hot.
Doesn't Uma look like
she's about to do something very bad to you?

and just between you and me,
if I had legs that even halfway looked like hers
I sit around like that
all day long
looking fierce.
At bus stops
and in offices
and such.

And there's your thought for Thursday.

Be bad.

Lea Maria Antoinetta!

Now here's some fun!

We'd been planning a "period piece" shoot for a while.
So the creative team of photographer Kelly Cappelli
hair God Will Zecco, and I cooked up this concept.

The make up had to be paler than pale, with a heavier than heavy brow,
bold red lip, and everything else scaled all the way back.

The whole look hinged on an over the top wig, bigger and bolder than you would typically do.
And Will was the man for the job!
The wig makes it genius.

And I brought my FlipCam UltraHD from the good folks at Flip.com
and recorded some of the sillyness for you.
I couldn't edit out all the laughing though.

But check this out:

Isn't it fun???

Here is the final shot

Lingerie By Jean Paul Gaultier

Oh my!
And how much am I loving everything about this???
Except the bird.
That kinda creeps me out.

But the hair, the make up(!!!)
and what totally hot lingerie!
I would love this.

Especially under my wrap dresses.
Which I am always scared will blow undone
in a freak breeze
or unscheduled surprise hurricane.

Gotta have it!

Just not the bird.
