Paws for Style and Doggie Drama Event!







Anyone who knows me knows - I LOVE ANIMALS! So when I was asked to do makeup and set up a team for the celebrities at the Red Carpet event "Paws for Style" - I was all over it! Well, what a fun and crazy event it turned out to be! Dressed up doggies and celebs everywhere....Then the event got really heated when premiere guest Lauren Conrad stormed out of the forum before she did her cat/dogwalk. She was wearing a cute red dress from her new (and heard struggling) clothes line. My wonderful crew (Lisa Corvelli, Steven Rice, Jules Waldkoetter and Aly K.) actually watched her backstage, sitting alone with a long face.... THEN we actually witnessed her slip out the back entrance with her posse!! Reality "stars" - what else would you expect! Besides all the drama - the event was AMAZING. Wendy Diamond (judge on "Greatest American Dog" and founder of Animal Fare magazine)put together an exciting event to benefit the Humane Society rescue and adoption efforts. Again, I want to thank my crew, Lisa, Steve, Jules and Aly for being so wonderfully supportive, giving and talented!! I will keep you updated with pics , media coverage, and upcoming events.

Destination Weddings

My latest obsession- Destination Weddings.
Having had the honor and pleasure of attending my dear friends Dina & Ray's wedding in Cabo, Mexico- I will now try to get myself invited to every destination wedding I find. Plus, it also gives me the perfect excuse to take some time off!! (Although I know I will be asked to do makeup!)
Once I took part in this small elegant event, I thought, 'Why would anyone want to get married any other way?'
Most traditional weddings last a day- a destination wedding can last 3, 5 or even 7 days!! The wedding tends to be smaller but at least you know those who attend REALLY want to be there! Costs probably run about the same but in the end the memories last longer for the bride, groom and ALL THE GUESTS! After years of being involved with MANY weddings and brides, I would definitely encourage looking into the options of a destination wedding...
If you have been to one, please tell us about your experience....
