A friend forwarded me an email about a documentary premiere being hosted by the Bethesda Row Cinema entitled, “Dressed”: http://dressedmovie.com/. Not knowing much other then it had to do with fashion I was eager to go to this free screening. When I arrived at the theatre I was given a small flyer that had the tagline: Homeless at 14. Every designer’s dream begins somewhere.   The

Here is part 2 of the YouTube make-up guru blog series. I decided to do this series because although I have been doing make-up for over 10 years I have learned so many great tips and ideas that I feel it is my duty to share these channels with my fellow make-up artist friends as well as anyone else that is into the beauty industry. Not only do these talented artists show you step by step how to

I am going to start a new series on my blog of my favorite YouTube make up gurus.

I found myself watching back to back episodes of season 4 of the Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo! I love that viewers get to watch this time during Rachel’s pregnancy because I think she looks the best she has ever looked. Being 8 months pregnant has given her the weight she really needed to fill out her face and make her look radiant and beautiful. Normally, I think she looks tired and older than

I had been listening to the weather all week and I heard cold but nothing about rain; so when I woke up this morning to clouds and a drizzle I was not very happy. For the past 3 or 4 years that I have been doing make-up for the H Street Festival it has always been really hot. This is the first time that this event could potentially be rained out. I forged ahead anyway making sure my make-up

Today my girl Hila and I went to Strathmore Mansion in North Bethesda, MD to see the fine art galleries. I noticed in their newsletter that they have a textile artist showing until January 3rd so naturally my love for all aspects of fashion drew me to the exhibit.For those that have never been to Strathmore Mansion or the adjacent Music Center I would say to take the short trip from the beltway

Unable to sleep I found myself searching the cable guide for something to watch at 5:00 am. I came across a documentary on a 4 year old art prodigy named Marla Olmstead.I won’t get into all of the details of this hour and a half long documentary but I will say that if you have not heard this amazing story I recommend you check it out: http://www.artnewsblog.com/2008/03/

Ladies I am here to tell you to bust out that Thigh Master because Anna Sui’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection is all about the thigh high mini dresses and pedal pushers. The collection was clearly inspired by Spain; even the music was strong and extremely captivating. The rich bold color palette, mixture of patterns and tons of embroidery Anna Sui showed throughout the collection is exactly what

Being a black woman in fashion I have always made sure to not only study my fashion history but to study my Black Fashion history. When I think of black fashions it always reminds me of church fashion shows from the 40’s when black people were not allowed at mainstream fashion shows. Instead church members hosted lavish fashion events using designers and models from their congregation and

I was turned onto Thom Browne by a co-worker (thanks Amanda). Everyone that I work with knows that I love fashion. I always wear things that are a bit fashion forward for my mostly female Jewish non-profit philanthropic company.For me every day is a fashion show and every time I leave my house it’s a potential photo op. Take today, for example, I decided to wear my above the knee grey pleated

The final day of DC Fashion Week was on September 21st, 2008 at the incredible French Embassy located near Georgetown.I arrived a bit late because all of the shows during the week ran a bit behind and there was even a show where hair and make-up were waiting for the models to finish their fittings so that we could begin. But this day when I arrived the backstage area was total madness. Models,

The H Street Festival on September 20th, 2008 was an opportunity to shed some light on the revitalization of the art & entertainment industries in the developing NE section of DC. The festival showcased international foods, face painting, crafts, and carnival games. But more importantly it was the host of the 9th annual DC Fashion Week fashion show.There is nothing new to discuss with the make-up

September 19th, 2008 at the National Press Club marked the 3rd day of DC Fashion Week where 2 of Kazakhstan’s premiere designers showed 2 uniquely different collections.I will start by talking about the make-up looks. When I arrived at the staging area in the exquisite 14th Street National Press Club building there were a few make-up artists that had started. After setting up my kit I went over

On the evening of September 18th, 2008 my girlfriend Hila and I arrived at the penthouse, rooftop pool of the Senate Square luxury condos in N.E. Washington.This luxury venue was where Corjor International hosted a Networking/Fashion Show event.The backdrop of the Senate Square has a spectacular view of the Washington Monument and from the photo you can see many of the twinkling city lights of

For those that love Corjor International I will say that Ean Williams and his team did not disappoint. Monday, September 15th, 2008 at the 4H Club in Chevy Chase, MD the first fashion show of the 2008 DC Fashion Week, where Ean Williams serves as Director, was shown before a group of young women and men as well as a few of the DC press. The amazing April Miller, one of the Assistant Directors,
