MY 1st NYC SHOOT

Once Egein (again for those of you who don’t speak Ghetto) JOHNNY hooked ya boy tha heck up. OK so while I was in NYC Johnny introduced me to an AMAZING photographer who has a REALLY Hott assistant! Well On my last day in the city we actually were able to work together. Let me mention that I had to pass up a chance to work with Makeup ICON Father Billy B. How does one do that?? I mean that was some crazy mess hontee on a crazy HOT day. Indeed it worked out for all parties involved at the end of the day. I was able to shoot with Daniel McCabe who is so smooth you will never know that YOU are even working in the building. Daniel has swag like a "brother" AKA black man and sounds like one on the phone too. He has to be one of the NICEST, REAL-IST, Most HUMBLE photographers that I know. Its one thing to be good behind the camera, but when you can make people feel appreciated THEN you have really done your job. I REALLY must wish every one I work with ALL the SUCCESS IN THE world!!! Thanks Egein Daniel for having me and I CANT WAIT TO DO IT Egein Brutha!!!!!!!!! It would be really fucked up of me to over look the other folks that were on set that day as well. As I waas uploading the pics I thought about it! One time for Pavel the photography assistant, the guy standing to your left. Then that makes Daniel the photographer on your right. Then there was Susie and Jessica. Thanks so much to the model, stylist and makeup artist you guys were the BEST I ever Had!!!!

SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE!!!!!

Mornin’ Beautiful!

I am up and EVE this morning trying to DO a little somethin somethin!!! By now I am sure that many of you already know that I went to do Seventeen Magazine as a assistant with my brother, father, and dear friend Mr. Johnny Lavoy. You guys may also know that this man was nice enough to allow LIL OL ME to stay the week in his Manhattan apartment. These days you just don’t meet too many folks who will allow a total stranger the chance to come into ones private world. Not only did Jonny let me stay BUT he gave me the key and allowed me to remain there as he went to his other home in Conneticut. Now PLEASE DON’T get NO ideas hontee IT AINT NO HOTEL FREE FOR ALL!!!! YOU CANNOT CALL HIM UP AND ASK FOR THE KEYS!!!! I AM SPECIAL!!!! SORRY HONTEES BACK UP!!!!!!!!! You know black folks honey we will call and let Johnny have it. Then he's gonna look at me like "WHAT IN THE WORLD!! did you say on that blog of yours." However had I not shared with you my total experience I would have felt cheated in a way. Anywho I want to thank Heather Muir the beauty editor over at 17 for having us. She and her staff were amazing and they really took good care of us. Hontee the people over @ 17 LOVE LOVE LOVE Johnny and his work I am SO Happy for my PoP YALL JUST DON’T KNOW!!! I am praying that Heather gets a CODE 10 before the December issue comes out LOL. We GOTTA give a MAJOR SHOUT out to MY NEW BUDDY Brian Duprey the man with the Makeup Plan!!! He banged face after face as Johnny created beautiful hair one after the other. You had to have been there to see it … HONESTLY I felt like I could be in the way at times. I really wanted to do all I can to make this my 1st Assistant Job in NYC a good one. WELL folks Picture time I hope you enjoy.

Where The HECK IS WARREN B.???

OK so I have been SUPER BUSY BUT hontee my Grandmother is now viewing my page. SO I am a bit more concerned with my site only because I want her to see my work. Those of you who really know me know that I have a VERY Special place in my heart for family. Although I don’t get to see them as much as I want to I LOVE MY FAMILY YALL!!!! HEY Grandma (whom I talk to like 10 times a day SERIOUSLY)!!!
So yeah I have been busy like shit and I MUST PRAISE GOD for ALL THE WONDERFUL BLESSINGS HE is giving to me!
Ideally I would like to go through each and every experience in GREAT detail but the odds of me actually completing that task are slim to none! Now if you see something that you may have questions about then JUST hit me up and I will TRY my best to reply. SOOOOOO I have had a gang of photo shoots, my 1st music video for this fine young rapper, my 1st national publication 17 magazine, a week in NYC with Johnny Lavoy, dinner with Billy B, and all kinds of other things. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that I may actually be living my dreams. I am finding that it is SUPER easy to make your dream a reality if you just keep chasing. In the process of this dream chasing you may get a little weary, confused, and scared but ONLY if you KEEP MOVING!!!! You gotta keep pushing, keep working, keep trying as hard as you can to do all that you can to become the BEST!!!! Before I get into these photos I MUST say thanks to a few of my NEW FRIENDS!!! 1st yall Johnny Lavoy (google him honey) has been an AMAZING mentor, teacher, and friend!!! I TOTALLY cant say enough words to describe the LOVE that this man has shown me! It has been JUST like catching up with an old friend and I LOVE IT!!! Thanks Johnny for introducing me to my world!! Thank you SO MUCH for giving a chance to be a part of your world!!! YOU MEAN the WORLD to ME!!
Gotta shout my girl over at scandalous beauty (google that too baby)!!!! YAZ I LOVE Erin who was recently named one of four TOP BEAUTY BLOGGERS by Essence Magazine!! With out this woman yall I wound just be Warren! Erin really created Warren B. and that means the world.
One TIME for Billy B Yall!!!! That’s whole other blog entry!!! NOT only is this man one of the GREATEST Makeup Artist (OoooooH don’t believe me google him too OK!!!) ANYWHO this man is more than Amazing on SO many levels. He and Johnny despite their success found it not robbery to give a young brother (sista if you like) a chance to walk in passion and I thank God for surrounding me with the greatest of the GREATS!
Enough of me talking here is some of what I have been up to!!

Oh and my lil brother Jadius the black male model made it to see Simon em’ @ American Idol CONGRATS BRUH!!!

Natural Beauty!!!!!

Today’s beauty has come a long way from yesterday’s idea of glam. It’s funny because although we are traveling in a totally different direction when it comes to makeup and hair, all the basics still remain the same. Bold daring women still wear red lips and matching red nails. Black eyeliner and mascara are still every 15 year olds idea of a complete makeup kit, or at least a good start. Airbrush nail designs, pink, green, and yellow OPI still rocks in every nail salon in town. With everything from yesteryear still pumping hard today you may wonder what’s new in beauty. Well honey let me be the 1st to tell you real quickly, NOTHING is NEW OK! The color wheel has not changed so trust me the colors are still basically the same. Hair is still getting cut with clippers, razors, and shears so that’s nothing new. As you know I aint here to just shatter all your makeup and beauty dreams so let me get to the point. Yes there are lots of new products, new lines, and new technologies when it comes to beauty. Thank GOD for the many companies who have done so much to bring us the best in quality hair and makeup products over the years. BUT BUT BUT beautiful, the most important part of beauty today is knowing when enough is enough. To know when to pull out some of those makeup tricks from drag queens past. To know when to avoid liner and lipstick all together is what beauty has become. To be politely flirtatious with color is what beauty has become. No matter what techniques you use remember to BLEND that crease, those cheeks, and that lip liner to the MAX. It all about beautiful healthy looking skin, and doing what you feel everywhere else. Now PLEASE DONT ask me “I am a NC50 and I was wondering what shade blush should i use?” Well no shade Honey use a mirror and use products you think looks good on you. Don’t listen to your hating girlfriends, or the lil chick at the counter who just started. Do some research and choose practical colors that you think will look nice. With the right application and a good foundation (perfect skin – my new fav foundation) you should be good to go. Now here is some new work for you!!!
