This was my first ever review written 2 years ago today. I remember thinking that maybe a few of my friends might check my little blog and see what I like from time to time. Never did I imagine that I would have a voice so big that readers from all over the globe would check in daily to see what I have to say. Most of all, I didn’t think this forum would bring me such fantastic opportunities that continue to come my way.
I was able to chat about beauty products in 3 different states as a TV Beauty Expert, even reporting live from the Fox Studios in NYC where I was covering Fashion Week.
I got to meet interesting people like Jeremy Bloom while waiting in the Greenroom at Fox.
I did Trista Sutter’s makeup for her cover on Women’s World Magazine, and OK Magazine.
I met and interviewed Ted Gibson backstage at the Lela Rose show at Fashion Week NY.
I snapped photos of designers (from top) Lela Rose, Thakoon Panichgul (Thakoon), Pamela Rowland (with her daughter and Amanda Bynes), and Max Azria.
Then there were the celebs all running around backstage for the shows that I was able to capture.
I got my very own column for ShoeStringMag.com.
I was the makeup artist for Austin Scarlett’s runway show for his wedding gown collection here at the Ritz Carlton Denver.
Then there was Nickelback. I was the makeup artist for Chad Kroeger for an interview he had when they were playing here in Denver.
And the best part of all is that I was able to share it with you.
Thank you for reading, commenting, suggesting, and supporting something I love to do.
