Trip Planning

So I have finally booked an awesome hotel at Hotwire.com. I couldn't believe the savings that I got with the rate I was given! The hotel is 1 block from glitterly Times Square and right behind the Port Authority. Traveling will be a sinch!

The Fashion Show is being held on June 27th at the Prince George Ballroom. I am very excited about the whole thing and beaming with happiness. You can't see me but I'm smiling!

I will certianly bring my camera and document the trip...

So pretty much the only thing I have left to do is find an outfit....eeeekkk that's probably the hardest thing to do! Im going shopping next week and probably will be at Boom Babies and other small boutiques in the area. I hate the mall but might have to go!

A Makeup Artist's KIT

So you all know I will be at FFF Week! I had just met with Gwen DeVoe of DeVoe Signature Events who also is the President and CEO. Also Tonya Giddens the VP of whom was very down to earth and friendly towards me. I met almost half of the style team and I am very excited about the show. Yes, I am nervous but that is expected. I am confident in my skills and know that I am going to do well. I want to make all these models splashingly lovely on the runway.

I am so grateful to God for giving me the strength to do this and all my great friends and industry friends for their support.

So for Fashion Week, I need to seriously beef up my kit... So I am thinking I will need:
So here's my current shopping list:

Fashion Designer Lanni Lantto

We had a blast! I had the pleasure of working with Eco-Fashion Designer Lanni Lantto at her home studio in Ithaca and also on location at the State Theatre. Lanni uses recycled materials, bedcovers, tents, and clothing from the goodwill transforming them into beautiful graceful multifunctional pieces.

You can find more about Lanni and her designs at http://www.lannilantto.com/

All makeup by me for her 2009 collection

Thanks Lanni!

Light Source

This is just a sneak pic of what we did on Wednesday. I guess you know where my inspiration came from...I wanted something futuristic and totally different for Kendra.

Shavonne came up with the idea of the hair and I was inspired by Spock from the new Star Trek movie. I love the colors and the contrast against Kendra's complexion. She was fabulous to work with and truly professional.

Shavonne did an awesome job with the lighting and location (her own attic!) and everything flowed. The outfit was fantastic and it was actually from the local Salvation Army + Shavonne's Closet.
