Checkin In

I checked into the W hotel at 8:01 pm. I am not really tired but just feeling blah. At the airport I purchased $46.81 worth of magazines to read on the plane and finishing reading the rest tonight.

I feel mentally drain I have so much to do back home that I don’t feel creative. I was hoping to have packed up the studio before leaving so I could have closed that chapter but didn’t happen. Celebrity hair stylist Ted Gibson reached out to me so I need to email him tonight. I have to relax and surround myself around things I love so I can get my creative juice flowin. I need to write at least two articles tonight for fashion indie so I can have a head start.

This week is Shontell BDay so I know I will be flying home to celebrate with baby girl.

Ok, let me go getting late and I need to unpack, order food, take a shower in snuggle in this big bed. I brought some candles with me, I do that a lot when I travel I like bringing candles and air freshners. The W hotel is nice so I never have to worry about it smelling.

Night…

CP 3 after party feedback

I had to workearlier that day so I was a little late meeting up with Miss Sassy at her house- 30 mins late give or take. As usual, acting like I am homeless I had to finish getting ready in the car. We make it to the game just in time to get a drink and get our seat. This is my second time attending a game like an average person. The first time Miss Sassy and I came to the Hornets game we were very late and we stayed for 20 mins so I don’t really count that as a full game. Miss Sassy is a season ticket holder, she loves all this sports stuff and I could care less about sports and/or ball players. I think if a lot of women really know the truth about the things they say in do I think less women would be excited about trying to trap or hook up with them.

Anyway, met a lot of new friends where we were sitting. Miss Sassy has really good seats so I was able to see the game but not really understanding everything. To much shit was going on, (shit flying in the air, people running around, the game going on, trying to people watch). Now the icing on the cake was…”Jason The Kidd” he was playing that night. He’s my buddy…I met him last year when I worked All-Star. So, I was excited about seeing him. Miss Sassy was embarrassed cuz I kept cheering for Jason. I think I was his only fan where we were sitting. At halftime went to go see Carlyn at bar 119, she looked so cute. Now you know what was kinda cool..the club thing after the game. It was cute kinda like a sports club lounge setting. We had to go down there because a friend of mine who works for the Hornets wanted me to meet him there to get the invite to attend the after party.



On our way out we run into Poochie… Well I call him Poochie…Derwin (Maron) from the tv show “The Game”. He was with his boy (Kobe or Colby). They were headin to the party as well.

The party set up outside was typical for press pics and red carpet events. Drinks was flowin all night and food served for an hour or two. CJ made sure that this time he put his number in my phone. Since we both are on the road a lot we never have time to hangout so we promise to do better this year. It was suppose to be a private party but the turnout looked like it was open to the public. Saw some peeps that I haven’t seen it a minute. Saw a lot of people that play the game “they don’t know you” cuz they got a little job workin with the hornets or Chris. That group makes me laugh…maybe this year I should start coming home acting like I’m the shit. I work in attend major A-list gigs I even go to their homes. Shit I was hand selected by Oprah to be the makeup artist for her tour and I never play those silly games with people. I had an ok time it wasn’t a hollywood studded party but I got to hang out with friends so that’s always cool.

I made a mistake in spoke to Tyson Chandler at the party and I forgot the rule…shit, how did I mess up. Miss Sassy said his wife gave me a nasty look but it was just a simple hi, how you been. Nothing more nothing less to the gesture. But this is why I don’t like to speak to male clients that I work with for that reason.

Jamielynn looked amazing with her cute mini pink dress. Love her haircut more with the front growing out. Was able to meet Carlos who is going to make me a custom pink stiletto with some bling. Carlos has his event in April. Will tell you more about it as the date gets closer. He’s a cutie.




We hung out with sexy can I “Ray J” and “Tigger” for awhile. Ray J got occupied by my girl Jakki so I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with him. Ray J also liked Jamielynn as well.


Christian and Thomas are cute together… They hung out all night for the most part. Thomas was suppose to be taping the party but he was dancing in having fun with baby girl. So I don’t know how much footage he ended up getting of Chris. He has jokes…he was given me a hard time about the first time I met him. We were coming from Pierre Thomas party at Metro so this was around Christmas. We all had to potty and he let all four of us go upstairs to use his bathroom. Anyway, just being a concern friend I gave him the big sister lecture about what he was not going to do with Christian when we leave. So he teased me he said he was a little scared of me. But it’s all love…

Miss Sassy and I was in so much pain I was crazy for thinking that I could wear heels for 14hours. I don’t what was wrong with me. I was just ready to go by 2am, my feet was killin me. We said bye to Poochie he is such a sweetheart. We wanted to kidnap him, and no ladies… he’s not gay. I know a lot of people have been saying that he is…why cuz he’s not gangsta and speak english??? When I told him he we were leaving he got all sad, he wanted Miss Sassy to stay with him. His nickname for Miss Sassy is “Shuntee” and he calls me “B”.

Overall, it was ok…but better when I get out these stiletto’s.

BEHIND THE BEAUTY: June 08 Vogue Featuring Sarah Jessica Parker

I was feeling a little SEX AND THE CITY: with Fashion Week wrapped up in NYC. So today I re-picked up one of my “keeper” magazine, the June 2008 issue of Vogue with Sarah Jessica Parker on the cover and a spread featuring her and Chris Noth.

SJP’s makeup was flawless, the locations were beautiful, as were her designer dresses; some of my favorites; the Nina Ricci emerald green silk-satin dress, the Versace chiffon dress and the Chanel boucle’ suit, the Lanvin hat and Philip Crangi for Vera Wang cuff bracelet were all so lavish and girlie regal…and how can I forget about those Christian Louboutin pumps!

In the movie, she wore two amazing wedding dresses that was such a WOW factor for me. The elegant Vera Wang wedding dress and the Dior Haute Couture jacket and skirt were just breath taking.

So for all of you SJP/Carrie fans, I have a treat for you. Below you will find a video of behind the scene footage from the VOGUE Magazine shoot as well as a makeup list that Makeup Artist Judy Chin used on SJP for the movie.

BEHIND THE BEAUTY: Dolce & Gabbana

written by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis


Makeup Artist Pat McGrath recreated the Scarlett Johansson look for the new D&G makeup ads for the Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 09 show.


McGrath called this look ‘modern Hollywood glamor’. Of course, she used Dolce & Gabbana makeup; powder foundation, a lipstick called Ultra (a great red), and a soft pink blush called Roses. From the Stromboli luxury line she used the light pink shimmery eye shadow, and the black gold eyeliner. She also used a black liquid liner and false lashes.

I did a look very close to McGrath Dolce and Gaggaba look for a magazine.Can’t believe how close my makeup look was to her’s. See we are on the same page.

BEHIND THE BEAUTY: Versace Fall 09

written by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

My favorite Makeup Artist Pat McGrath did it again…she really glammed up the makeup for Versace Ready-To -Wear Fall 2009 fashion show. McGrath mimicked Donatella Versace’s everyday smoky look when she did the makeup on the models. Personally this is my favorite style of makeup; I love it on my clients, on photo shoots and myself. This smoky intense black eye can work well on everybody if done correctly.

McGrath put together shiny black and dark blue powders on the socket and underneath the eye. She accentuated the crease of the eyes with a shimmery pink powder blending it right under the brow bone. To give it that wow factor she applied black false eyelashes. She used black eyeliner very heavily and she also filled in the models brows for definition. On the cheeks she re-used that same shimmery pink powder and a second pale matte pink blush. A liquid pearlized highlighter right above the check bone to help bring focus to eyes. McGrath finished this sexy glamor look with a nude gloss.


I think this may be the look I will wear tonight…with exception of taking the black shadow all the way out to the socket.

BEHIND THE BEAUTY: Giorgio Armani


Giorgio Armani’s trademark backstage look for fall: dramatic with strong made-up eyes.

The makeup was inspired from the eighties and Makeup Artist Linda Cantello used a new Giorgio Armani shade of red lipstick, number 14, which is due out in fall, to create a velvety lip.


The eye shadow used was dark purple that swept out on the side giving a smoky look. Black eyeliner was used at the top and bottom of the eye. Mascara on the top lashes only, no fake lashes, the eyebrows were left neutral and no blush was used.

I really loved this old glam elegant look. I don’t normally like to focus on both the eyes and lips simultaneously. It should be either strong eyes or strong lips, but this is a great look for evening. The hair has to be simple, off the face to be able to pull it off. Try it this weekend.

A quickie…

So I have about another 2 hours left to my lazy day before heading back to New Orleans. I am enjoying just laying in this big luxury bed doing nothing but surfing the web. Its actually kinda fun…when I get back home I have so much to do.

Shontell..I said it first “Happy B-Day”.

It's Britney Bitch…yes baby girl tomorrow.

My girl Khloe was quiet last night on The Apprentice. She looked cute. So proud of her.

I get to see my boys Chris and CJ Paul on the 5th. The boys are not big drinkers so I'll have their cocktails!

Thanks Beth for my FAB glasses. I broke my great pair of black sunglasses during Mardi Gras so Beth stop by yesterday to my home and dropped off a new pair. Michael called me cuz I wanted to go out in buy a pair today. I love receiving sweet gifts.

I have a bride this weekend at the Ritz and she also schedule makeup the night before if I remember correctly. So I am excited about that.

Then I have to start packing up the studio. I think I have to make it a party so I need to pick up some cupcakes and champagne.

Be home shortly,
