Trey Songz mom
Trey Songz Mom
Trey Songz mom, April Tucker called me and asked me to do her makeup for this years 2010 BET awards. She is so sweet, not to mention she looks like she is my age. I first met April the day of the Grammy’s, I asked her where Trey’s mom was at because I would have never thought she was Trey’s mom, kinda embarrassing. All I’m saying is that I want to look like her when my son is 25. Congratulations to Trey Songz.

NoH8 Campaign x Esthero
What is NoH8?
On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the GLBT community at a grassroots level, with many new political and protest organizations being formed in response.
The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska (http://www.bouska.net) and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with “NOH8″ painted on one cheek in protest.
Nearly one year since its inception, the NOH8 Campaign has grown to over 2,000 faces and continues to grow at an exponential rate. The campaign began with portraits of everyday Californians from all walks of life and soon rose to include politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, celebrities, and many more.
The NOH8 Campaign has received overwhelming support from around the world, appearing on various local and national news programs and publications. The images are currently being used on various social networking sites to spread the message of equality, predominantly Facebook and Twitter. Eventually the images are expected to be compiled for a large-scale media campaign.
Funds raised by the NOH8 Campaign will be used to continue promoting and raising awareness for Marriage Equality and anti-discrimination on a global level through an educational and interactive media campaign.
Esthero
-is one of the most talented, awe-inspring artist I adore. Her vocals are matchless. Alana and I were able to do her hair and makeup for the NoH8 Campaign in Los Angeles.
Check out her blog Esthero in Progress and her music!

2010 Hair Trends
What I’ve been noticing in a lot of fashion magazines are several hair styles repeated. So they must be hair trends for 2010!
Here are what I’ve noticed:
Braids-to the side, loose, fish tail, and perfect for growing out your fringe style
Tips: no time to fix your hair? Braids is your answer!
Natural textures: embrace what your mama gave you! love those curls, sweep it up softly for a loose up do
High pony tail: it’s not just for the gym, it’s high fashion!
Tips: Add a creamy, medium to heavy hold to comb your hair up. Use a boar bristle brush to really slick your hair back, spray baby hairs when you got it all up
Middle part & loose waves: do together or separate, the bohemian chic look, very natural and airy
Tips: not too much stiff products, when starting wet, blow dry all your hair forward to give a little lift. Add some curl products. I love Bumble n Bumble Curl Conscious Creme!! it holds just enough of your curl, reduces frizz and best of all NOT stiff!
For stick straight hair, take random sections and simply wrap around iron. It’s simple because you don’t want a prom look! Add a little shine on your ends. Try Bumble and Bumble Defrizz, can be used on wet hair but best on dry hair
Lastly, Straight bangs/Full Fringe: I love bangs because even if you don’t have time to style your hair, just make sure your bangs are in place and put on a cute hat, do a side pony tail, or just leave your hair down.
Tips: make sure your bangs are fully wet, and you have a clean face, you don’t want your bangs sticking to your forehead grease! take a brush and hold your blowdry hitting the top of your bangs. Use your brush to do a criss cross action with your bangs. This neutralizes any cowlicks that causes your bangs to pop up
Big Hair Show
Forgot to include these pictures from ISSE show in Long Beach this year. A company called Chihtsai Hair Care was doing some crazy updos to draw in some attention for their hair products.
For one of the updos, the stylist was attaching hair pieces he made out of scratch. I never would have thought you can make an amazing piece from extra hair on the floor, add some strong hair spray and you get this..
