Makeup Beat

One of my favorite beauties Talisa Soto had her birthday party on March 27.

Talisa and I worked together several times before she started acting. Love her!

I had the pleasure of doing Xuxa’s hair and makeup when she first came to New York to work with The Ford Model Agency. It wasn’t until I made a trip to Brazil that I learned just how famous she was all over South America. Xuxa didn’t speak that much English when we worked together and I still know very little Portugese. But we shared a sweetness between us that I will always remember very fondly.

Happy Birthday to both of these lovely ladies! xxooxx

“Are you one of the nation’s hottest hair stylists? Reality show-loving stylists who think they’ve got “it,” that certain something when it comes to the art of the do? Then you should attend an open casting call for the Bravo show, “Shear Genius,” now in its third season, at Michael Angelo’s Wonderland Beauty Parlor, 418 W. 13th St., Manhattan. The call is 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 29 and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 30.”
“We are looking for artists! People who are innovative and …people who have drive and see things in a different way,” says supervising casting director Randy Bernstein. “We are looking for the next Orlando Pita, Guido Palau, Serge Normant and Odile Gilbert.”

This could be a fantastic opportunity for someone…maybe you?!

And she still and always will be the Supreme Boss Diva I fell in love with as a teenager growing up in Detroit. First as The Supremes a trio with Mary and Flo, later with the same girls but singing lead in Diana Ross and The Supremes, next as the solo act Diana Ross, and finally just Diana!

At some point she got into wearing her hair big and curly and pretty much hasn’t let go of that style till this day, and I do love her that way, but I’ll always cherish her in those fantastic wigs styled in the MoTown version of a Vidal Sassoon look. I hope Miss Ross had a Happy Birthday yesterday March 26th. I love you Diana!

With thanks to Kat.

This campaign bordered on kiddie porn.
