TIMES SQUARE! IT’S ON WITH ALEXA CHUNG!
My very first non television makeup job was two years ago doing grooming for an LRG campaign with photographer Kareem Black. It was an incredible experience, with one of the images from that shoot ending up on a billboard in Times Square. I would say that I’d always dreamed of having work in Times Square, but the truth is that everything happened so fast that I never really had a chance to think that far ahead. Two years later, I’ve got my second billboard with a promo for the MTV show ‘It’s on with Alexa Chung’
Nothing but lips for this – Which was so much fun! It was great to get to get a chance to experiment with different colors and textures – Especially since it’s not every day that I get a request to create something like an icy blue pucker.
Last week I took a trip to Times Square, and despite sitting on a cinderblock for 20 minutes while refusing to move out of the way so a newly married couple could take their wedding photos in front of the screen – I didn’t get to see the promo for myself. Allegedly it’s still running because Kareem has a video of himself standing in front of the jumbo tron (He also shot this billboard). I’m also told that you can also catch it during The Hills (Good looking out Jenni!).
Anyway, Kareem’s video is below. And all three promo’s can be viewed in the video section of this site

NEW LRG: Spring 09 ft. Pete Rock, Alchemist and Masters at Work!
I know I’ve said this before, but, I LOVE THIS JOB.
To be fair I’ve been really fortunate to have had many great experiences while shooting with a variety of clients. But, even with that said, LRG remains my favorite shoot of all.
There is no other job where I can get dropped on my head and still feel the love. There is no better place to be dragged across the floor by my ankles while protesting. All while still getting it done.
See?
There I am. Working. On the Alchemist.
…
DOPE.

Anyway, every season the ads get even better than the last. Seriously. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new ads which are already running in magazines (I spied one in Complex a few weeks ago).
Below are three of the new LRG ads for Spring 09 featuring: Pete Rock, Alchemist, and Masters at Work (Louie Vega and Kenny Dope).

Manhattan Portage!
When I was in High School Manhattan Portage bags were a must have. Along with those weird bags with the monkeys hanging off them; Or maybe they were kangaroos? Remember those?
Anyway, getting the opportunity to do makeup (and hair!) for new images for Manhattan Portage was awesome – And made me totally nostalgic for the mid 90s . I guess NY private school kids really do know what’s up! These bags are as classic now as they ever were

This could not be more appropriate…
To know me is to know that all I do is send text messages on my Blackberry. I absolutely loathe talking on the phone.
