I have always loved the Twiggy look and make up artist extraordinare, Veronica Garcia, from our collective at www.thehairstudio108.us in North Hollywood had always wanted to do a shoot where she got to do a total Twiggy look! So yay, along with Steffani, owner of the Studio and Hair Style Maven we created very GEAR looks to be captured by the eye of amazing photog, Francis Specker! I hope you like it!
Can you believe that this gorgeous beach shoot was done in early December. That is the beauty of Southern California. 80 degrees at the beach a few weeks from Christmas. Love it! As you know I have been doing some wardrobe styling in my spare time (HA HA) as if I have much of that, but it is more of a pleasure than a task for me. This latest shoot wasn’t really planned out months in advance, it just sort of came together. The video here is just one set of photos and one model, we actually had two models and about 10 looks. What a great day. More to come!
We all met in the morning at Bluff Park in Long Beach, Ca and took over an area of the grass and started make up, hair and I opened the back of my SUV and started sorting wardrobe – we must have looked sort of crazy, but I was really looking to capture a chic/bohemian look as the main focus and then we threw in some MOD and Sexy Glam too… I am very happy with the results!
I love fashion, I love accessories, I love photography, make-up and hair, so when I had the chance to do some styling for a photoshoot at The Hair Studio 108, I jumped at it. After a day of fun and fashion, I am thinking I will get a true kit together and do more of this..
The team responsible for these amazing photos are:

Early 1920′s during the rush to Hollywoodland. I would have been Theda Bara.. i mean, she wouldnt have had a chance with me in town.

So one of my fave movies right now is Marie-Antoinette – I have been listening to the Sound Track Non-Stop! J’adore the “I Love Candy” sequence, because every now and then, i just want clothes, shoes, Jewlery and tons of fatty little cakes and champagne… without those days we will shrivel up and die… or at least i do…
My work is insane… i have been in the office till 9 or 10pm most nights, when i am not, i am working from home till 2am… Tonight I had to go home sick from stress and fatigue at about 5:30pm (usually that is about 1/2 way through my day) I got home and slept till about 7pm – when I woke up, Moulin Rouge was on tv and i had just been dreaming about Amelie… I put on my MA soundtrack.. pushed away the lap top and threw all my pillows on the floor, served myself flowering japanese tea on a glass tray with chocolate covered candided orange peels and then followed it up with a small bottle of Sofia Champagne and fresh mango slices with crystal sugar sprinkled all over them… Just now I lined up my shoes in a row and organized my jewlery… discovered that i have way too much of it… i gave Pearl (my kitten) some whip cream, she needed a break too… then i watched The Riches (my new fave tv show- Eddie Izzard, wow… quite a change)… anyway, somedays you need a fix.. whatever your fix is.. treat yourself to it before you are sent home sick.. keep yourself happy… no one else will do that for you… I started a new screenplay tonight… i think my creativity is most comfortable in the throws of indulgence… those candied orange peels were amazingbr>
One thing i know is that even Marie sought out peace and traquility away from the stress and pomp of Versaille.. when i visited Versaille, i was most impressed with her little cottage sanctuary and her music room… as a woman in a world where it really sucks to be a woman.. sometimes finding fulfillment is a moment to moment process… i have alot of friends who seem to think that getting a man is the main goal of life… from what i have seen, it seems like you shouldnt get a man unless you are ready to add even more stress to your life… not that men are all bad, they have their place in life too.. but i think unless you are totally happy and fulfilled and joyous in yourself and your own life, a man is just a complication one can do without… that being said.. a cutey patootee now and then is always a nice addition to cakes and shoes and champagne… and the daily work out (which oddly, i find i enjoy too – i DO mean exercise..)
Think of ways to pamper your brain, your soul, your body, your spirit… and be well.

Just got back from the Beyonce Concert – that chick can SING and DANCE… the cutest part was when she decended the stairs during the number that ended her on her face during the florida show and gave the audience this big grin – that said – whoo, i made it! – and the audience broke out in cheers… see all the videos at:
