Lacoste FW 2o1o

My first show this season was Lacoste, with a 6:30am call time - woo! Fun. The look was black smokey-eyed tennis bunnies.

 

Here is Behati backstage in my chair & then on the runway!

 

Here is another girl I did, Tao..

These two - Aidan & Lakshmi - were also my models, I simply didn't have time to snap 'em:

Reports from today's Jill Stuart and MJ shows coming soon....!

Cover shot Det Nye

Here's the cover image Det Nye selected for their Feb 2o1o issue. The original shot is on the left, and on the right you see the much-cooler-temperature final.

Original or cooled down: which do you prefer?

The model is Sophie Lie & I did her makeup for this shoot in her home on Dec 8, 2oo9. The photographer is Yoo Jung Sun.

Siri star*

Photographer Yoo Jung Sun wanted a "grunge-chic" makeup look on supermodel Siri Tollerød for this cover try for Det Nye magazine.

In the end, the editors went with a different cover shot of ours - to be posted when the issue comes out: Feb 12th - Stay tuned!

SPIN: Jukebox Jury

Andrew Stockdale uses the Force

If you open up the current - Jan/Feb '1o - issue of SPIN magazine to p. 36, you'll find Jukebox Jury, where Andrew Stockdale and Andrew WK meet to free-associate on top hits of 2009. 

Andrew WK uses his feet

I groomed the two Andrews for the accompanying photo shoot, which was shot by Michael Lewis in the West Village, Nov 9th, 2oo9.

LMFAO Hang Loose at MTV

This shot is from a recent job grooming LMFAO at MTV studios - looks like they're pretty stoked about their Grammy nomination. Congrats, Foo & Sky!

Shwayze o1/o5 on Jimmy Fallon

Shwayze & Cisco wish you Peace in 2o1o

I can happily report that my first gig of the new year was a fortuitous start to 2o1o! It's always a pleasure for me to work with musicians, and when they're as chill & sharp-as-a-tack funny, as are Aaron (aka. Shwayze) & Cisco, I find myself whistling while I work.
Good Times.

Here's an outtake from a forthcoming edito story I worked on recently with photographer Raouf Marzouki

The Inimitable Cindy Allen

Cindy Allen is the esteemed Editor in Chief of Interior Design magazine, as well as a unique & positively exuberant woman. Her heart is a bottomless well of love & generosity; her curiosity & wit are contagious.  Such a treat to be around, she is one of my all-time favorite clients.
I have had the joy of working with Cindy for several years - my awe and adoration of her doubling upon itself each time I make up her smiling face.

She'd be inducted into my personal Hall of Fame: 
People I aspire to be like when I grow up.

Interior Design inducts honorees to their Hall of Fame at an annual gala held at the Waldorf-Astoria. Being the hostess of the event, Cindy looks to me to polish her already-beaming radiance for an adoring audience of 1100+ guests. This year Cindy invited me to attend - the 25th anniversary, no less - as she sensed my interest in the design world. 

What an honor to be in the same room with luminaries, and to witness the brilliance of new ideas! If you have any inclination, I urge you to read up on the honorees. Truly fascinating.
