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

Lost Images: Arena Magazine

Back in October I had a shoot with photographer, Kareem Black, for Arena Magazine.  It was a long day involving shooting in the city, Brooklyn and the Bronx…With Kareem taking multiple photos of me in a cab whilst twittering and proclaiming ‘THIS PHOTO-SHOOT IN THE CAB IS BANANAS!’

Anyway, that was almost 6 month’s go and I still haven’t seen any of the images (Including the images from the impromptu, gorilla shoot KB subjected me to on the way to the BX)…Until now.

Arena Magazine is a UK publication and by the time I found out that the story had gone to print, I couldn’t track down the issue here in the U.S….So until recently I had no idea how everything turned out.  I’ve finally managed to get a glimpse of some of the images from that shoot, on Kareem Black’s recently updated website.

Not sure if these were the final images used for the story, or if these are just KB selects – Either way, I love them.
