Hey guys, I am back at the dentist office. Today begins my first treatment. I have a total of 4 treatments that I need to get done. My goal is to do them all in June because starting July my schedule is crazy. The only problem is I have some dates out of town now so I have to schedule while or when I am home.
Can’t wait for this to be over already. Hope I am not in much pain after cuz I am a big baby.

Just had to pass on the Beyonce Tour this year. The dates they gave me I am all booked up for. I was looking forward to going back on the road with with SASHA FIERCE. That’s ok, I have my own SASHA FIERCE (MISS SASSY). Hopefully, when the tour comes to NOLA I will get to see some of my peeps who I tour with. I don’t think I have ever partied with them here in New Orleans.

I finally gave in but I didn’t have a choice. I have been in pain for sometime now so I had to finally take myself off the books today. Yes, I am home in New Orleans. I am sitting waiting for the doctors (Merja A. Schwarz & Jorge F. Schwarz) to come back with the x-rays. I am getting as much as I can get done in one appointment. My schedule is so tight that I have to move fast you know. I have so much that needs to be done I believe like 4 or 5 more visit. Will keep you posted.

I got a call this morning at 7:52 am, and I jumped up thinking my bride was calling me because I wasn’t at the hotel. You know that maybe I over slept or something. But it was a new bride calling to book me after seeing an article on me in this month Gambit Weekly L’Image Wedding Insert. I was so exhausted that all I can hear was an exciting young girl on the other end who was just going on and on. I was just relived that it wasn’t my bride calling me saying I was a no show. That is something that scare me all the time that one day I am going to be so tired that I will over sleep and not show up to one of my brides wedding.
So of course, I roll over and pull up the Gambit page (laptop next to my side of the bed)and sure enough there’s a picture of me and an interview I did with them some time ago on page 22 and 23. Because, it’s been a minute I completely forgot all about it and my publicist has not called me to tell me anything. I guess she was not informed either.
What a great way to start my SATURDAY…Thanks Gambit for featuring me in L’Image…I love you guys. Off to my bride Scarlet Pollard at the Lowes Hotel.

Here is a little glimpse of my Saturday bride Paula and her now HUSBAND Kristopher wedding. Paula hired me to stay with her all day so I ended my evening around 10pm. Robin, my BFF Wedding planner son Seth brought me back to the mansion. It was a great wedding, love the decor and the dinner menu was very nice. Can you believe I didn’t eat dessert…my cocktail dessert of choice was the sweet lemonade. I was able to capture a small video of the couple as they came out of the ceremony…A popular New Orleans wedding way to start your marriage.

As you saw earlier I got my hair styled by the most FAB hairstylist…my son Jordan Armani. I have two photo shoots today. One with my bride Amy from out of town. Oh gosh, she was awesome and a pleasure to work with. She’s a gorgeous girl, so I gave her a Cali babe look. That’s what she looked like when I was done enhancing her.
My second shoot was from 4:00-10:30pm by Fred new studio. Fred and I have also have a great working relationship, we joke around a lot on set. I met Fred at my first makeup studio and we have worked together for a long time. He has also taken pics of the kids when they use to model. So, he’s another extension to the family. Fred, genuine has love for me and he’s loyal to me I never have to worry about Fred using me to only better his career. Still to this day Fred is mad at this one person who clled me “GIRL”, I love him for that and he’s awesome. 
Miss Sassy and Shaun was the model for this shoot. I think it went well. It’s always great working with my BFF. Sometimes, it don’t feel like I am working. It’s like playing when MISS Sassy is on set with me. My baby girl Envy is really starting to get into hanging out at photo shoots and helping out. I am so glad to have her around. She is really good with directing on set, taking pics and just being a great assistant. Everybody tells me all the time that the reason why I can’t keep an assistnat is because Envy will be the chosen one once she gets of age. Maybe, a career in the fashion industry after all.
Check out some of the pics that Envy took. It was a long night, Miss Sassy and Envy started getting tired at the end. Envy joked to her dad that she got fired about 7 times that night. At the end Miss Sassy said no more. She was the one who called “IT’S A WRAP”. I think Fred managed to get some great shot and I got some great makeup looks. I love that Miss Sassy looks nothing like herself on some of the pics. I love that I can just paint her face wit heavy makeup and she rocks it well.
Shaun did much better and gave great face this time around. I sent him little text with modeling tips. I gave him tear sheets and he listened. He’s a good kid and I hope he makes it cuz he has a great body and as Envy said, he has a model look.
Oh, Miss Sassy gave me a hard time about what I said about the plus size statement. But it’s just like when this one person was complaining and complaining about her weight and not able to find clothes at stores anymore cuz she gained so much weight. But she eats like 3 or 4 times a day at Chef Leon restaurant. So she tells me she could not go out cuz she could not find any stores to shop at. So, I said, why don’t you shop at Lane Bryant that have cute stuff. LMAO, after I said it, right. She hangs up on me. Still LMAO, cuz it was funny. But guess what she stopped complaining about her weight. So, I told Miss Sassy stop complaining, she’s HOT as is and she don’t have to lose any weight.
Well enjoy the pics…let me know what you think…

I had the honor this morning to get my hair styled by the FAB hair stylist Jordan Armani Gomez-Duplessis. Before he leaves to go on one of his many summer vacations.
Not because he's my son I honestly think he has talent. Whenever I don't feel like doing my hair when I go out Jordan usually blow dry it, curl, pin it up and style it for me. I think he's awesome for his age.
Let me know what you think.
