Well, I'm off to another shoot! A girl can never travel lite these days and especially if she is a stylist! In the top layer of my kit I have sterile sprays: brush cleaner and rubbing alcohol. Of course next to that is hand sanitizer in a lovely vanilla bean scent. Some gum. (When you are doing someone's makeup you should always have fresh minty breath!) 12-14 different colors of foundation, 8 colors of eyeshadows, 6 different makeup brushes, several lipsticks, stains and lipglosses, cotton swabs, concealer, makeup wipes, safety pins, mascara wands, and pencil sharpeners fill each cubby and that's just the TOP layer. What do I have in my red suitcase? Hair necessities: paddle and round hair brushes, goodie combs, a skinny barrel curling iron and a fat barrel curling iron, flat iron, hair spray, pomade, hair cream and oil, haircutting drape (to protect the wardrobe from makeup application) and scissors just in case someone needs a little trim. And what do I wear? For comfort I am wearing a JOVOVICH HAWK striped dress with a STREETS AHEAD belt over black leggings and HARLEY DAVIDSON motorcycle boots. (Brought my FOREVER21 sweater just in case it gets chilly in the studio.) Are you sure you still want to be a stylist?

A Visit to Dana's Not-So-Humble Abode

This day was all about Dana’s new jade necklace. What to wear? I dug through her closet and found the perfect compliment! A pretty little red sweater with black ruffle detail, fabulous skinnies, sweet square-toed wine mary janes, all vintage of course. My gift to the hostess was a bottle of champagne with a hot pink ribbon that I found in my purse tied around the neck. I wore my TARINA flower with crystal detail, FRANKIE B jeans, a floral blouse from FOREVER 21, EC STAR crossed gun embroidered sweater and Mommy’s vintage burgundy pumps. What a beautiful day on the dock of Dana’s not-so-humble abode.

My Obsession with the Korean Girl Band Continues: 4Minute

Former WONDER GIRL Hyun Ah has done it again with this new girl group called 4MINUTE. A pretty proper wrap for some cute little Korean girls, wouldn't you say? I love this song but paleez tell me where I can get that to-die-for leather jacket with the puffy sleeves that Ji Yoon is wearing! So jealous. Korea continues to create girl group after girl group and forgets to call me. Don't they know I have an "in" here in the states? Oh well, in another life...

20's in the 40's

Not usually into this kind of thing but, today I am really feelin this Coon Skin coat. My darling Snoopy got attacked by a raccoon last night! Don't worry he's okay thanks to D's caveman instinct. (D reminds me in strange ways why I married him.) Any way, back to the coat... You have to admit that this Dapper Dan from a Charleston-themed party held at Princeton in 1949 brings this little creature to a party in style. Kind of sad isn't it? What would a dashing boy of 2009 wear to his Princeton party? Ugh, when did we all turn into PC squares?

Well, finally I seem to be settling in. Here I am in my studio ready for another day of purging with my pooches resting beneath my feet. For this task I am wearing a very comfy DIANNE MEDAK rouged halter top with my 1969 GAP jeans and because my hair is neatly pulled back so I can truly see how much junk I have, I chose a big giant pair of hammered wave circle earrings from FOREVER 21.
