So I don't consider myself much of a blogger, but if I were ever to say 'from one blogger to another' or 'my biggest blog crush' or 'damn that girl is such a badass I wish I knew her in real life blog award goes to' it would be Zana Bayne of Garbage Dress.
I had followed her for quite some time before moving to New York so having the opportunity to work alongside her excellence and that of the other badasses I run with was beyond amazing.
Baskery is a Sweedish all girl band and they are fekking out of this world.
It's been a while since I've found a group like this that I will seriously play on repeat whilst dancing all over my house. In fact, they make me want to be in california, driving up the coast with the windows down sing-screaming making other drivers point and laugh or get reeall jealous that they're not in my car having a party. Or something like that. Loved working with these ladies. They are gorgeous, down to earth funny, fun loving and really really great musicians. They played at one of the local bars in Long Beach a few nights before we shot the video and I heard the drummer made one other particular male drummer friend a little intimidated/impressed. Check them out; you seriously wont be disappointed.
Did I ever mention that I headed the grooming team for Native Son during this past New York Fashion week? Its months ago now, but worth mentioning. Take a look at these amazing photos by the expert menswear photographer Christian Rios.
The presentation was fantastic, no small part due to the amazing film directed by More Media's Isaac Rentz. Watch the video. Its mental. Actually, maybe read Trendland's write up first.
Whew! Here we go. Two weddings down and a summer to go...I have a feeling this year's wedding Season in New York is gonna keep me busy.
This is Katy and Chad on their big day.
This wedding was from last summer on one of my trips back to California (whoops, I've been bad at this blogging thing) It was featured on one of my favorite wedding blogs, Green Wedding Shoes.
This beautiful beachy wedding was shot by the awesome couple of Erin Hearts Court. I don't know about you, but I'm a huge fan of of husband-wife photog teams for weddings. They seem to catch really great, romantic and sometimes funny moments between the couple. To see more images make sure to check the green wedding shoes' blog entry here.
Check out one of the videos I worked on during my last trip to California. It was a beautiful day in the desert working with old friends. I just love the Bokeh (in-camera filter) effects.
Phew! These past few weeks have been a whirlwind. With NYFW, a music video, a short film and personal clients I have been busy to the max! Photos and updates are on their way.
First, let's start with Zang Toi Fall 2011 Fashion show!
I joined the insanely talented and inspiring Rudy Miles this season as part of the BeautybyRudy team. Working with Rudy is such a treat; he's an incredible coach/educator and he's super fun to work with. Plus he has the coolest eyewear collection ever. Done and done.
Once again, Amazing Cosmetics sponsored the show and provided an awesome array of products for us to work with. We used the Bronze Sunshine Quad to create the copper, gold and brown smoky eye to accent the neutral tones Zang used in his latest collection and finished the look with Barely lipgloss to give the lips a subtle sexy shine. Hit up your local Sephora to check out these shades for yourself. Oh, and trust, that concealer they do is REALLY TRULY AMAZING. Such a great consistency, covers well, and stays in place under the eyes. Uh, thank you!
Oh! And, I ran into this pretty young thing, miss Sarah Deanna, who I just love working with. We go "way back" if you will :)
Oh hey, Tedrick, what's up baby? You are the best let's-double-team-that-one-model-over-there-since-she-came-in-two-minutes-before-last-looks-partner ever!!!
And Voila! We're ready to go.
Zang Toi had such a beautiful collection! The emerald green, camel and textured blacks were absolutely stunning. I can't even tell you how amazing it is to hear the music, the crowd and shutters going off as these lovely models take their walk down the runway. What's more, when its Zang's elegant gowns or suiting, it practically takes your breath away.
Here's my girls:

GORGEOUS RIGHT?!
Please check out this video. You'll hear from Zang himself regarding his vision for this years collection, and from Rudy about how much Zang takes care of his people. Best video I've seen of the show yet.
