Recent Work

Hi Beautiful
here is some of my most recent work... there is so much more where this came from & i cant wait to share. thanks SO MUCH to Johnny Lavoy and AJ Crimson who both have given me such valuable information which has made me a stronger artist. Johnny has given me one on one OJT which has helped me to develop a stronger more aware eye for makeup. The following images hopefully will display a little bit of drama and a lot of clean skin. The hair is all bases on a solid foundation of beauty school basics with a little Warren Bisim to take you there. THANKS TO ME MENTORS for helping to keep me in the GAME!!! THANKS TO MY SAVIOR FOR PUTTING ME THERE IN THE 1ST PLACE!!!

Michael Jackson #1

Beautiful

I know it has been a while since we have communicated. Things have been a whirlwind over the past few week but I am yet holding it in the road. Praise God for all of His many blessings and for great friends like each of you. Lately I have been keeping busy with clients and shoots and it has all been totally amazing. I MUST thank God for this gift and the ability to be able to use it daily. So many people work on a job for a paycheck. Me I live out my passion for fun. When I think of what it means to actually live your passion I think of THE GREATEST entertainer to ever walk this earth. Throughout his 50 years on this earth Michael Jackson went through so much scrutiny. He had just as many highlights as he did lowlights yet through it all he carried on. We all sat back and watched as MJ grew from a little black boy from Gary into an interesting person representing the entire world. We watched him as he was subjected to the vicious lies and rumors that circulate through the media. We all were there when Michael faced those criminal charges for sexual molestation. Honestly I wish it all would have just gone away. Yes to the average person one could argue that there could have been something wrong with Mike. But that would be an average man judging a man who was far greater than average. Did we somehow feed into the medias destruction of the greatest entertainer in history? Don’t act like you were not trying to hear it when it was going on. I know I was being a little nosey too so don’t feel bad. In spite of all the things that I heard and saw I really never cast an opinion either way. After all we were not there so who the we to have a opinion either way? On top of all the drama this guy was clearly vulnerable and prone to people trying to make a quick dollar off of his hard work. To think someone would put a child up to no good just to get a few million. Well I guess that’s not such a bad idea??? No but really it is a totally twisted way of thinking. It is my belief that MJ is very normal in comparison to how he was raised. I mean lets be honest Michael just may be the most recognized person in the world, how normal is that? This man sold more albums than anyone will ever sell EVER IN LIFE… how normal is that? Mike broke all racial barriers, continental boarders, and lived a life of extravagance beyond anything most people could ever think of… how normal is that??? Yes this man was just a man but NOTHING about his life was normal. Even after death MJ came back to top the charts once again. Let me take that back. I do believe that there was much normalcy in Jackson’s life but I think we were looking so hard that we didn’t notice it. You see people are attracted to people they can relate to. That was the beauty of MJ is that he has so many faces. Each of us can find at least one thing about MJ that we can relate to no matter what walk of life we came from. Michael had a genuine concern for the human race and I trust that he really loved children. I honestly don’t think that Michael Jackson had the courage or the heart to hurt a fly. I do feel that he felt blessed to be able to live the life that he lived. It is my belief that Jackson was to some extent amazed himself by what he had accomplished. A big part of me knows that MJ was so thankful for all the blessings that he received in his lifetime. We all know that to whom much is give much is also required. As with Michael Jackson there were lots of people around him who required much from him. Mike was used and abused by so many people yet in our hearts we must forgive them all as he would have. In spite of all he had been through MJ was still able to leave behind a legacy that will live on beyond us all. His musical influence surpasses any negative idea that anyone may have of the megastar. We thank you Michael Jackson for all you did the good and the bad. I thank Mike for showing me that I don’t have to add up to what most people consider to be normal. I can be me no matter what the definition of normal may be. After all what is NORMAL anymore? Thanks to MJ I can be all that I can be ME and that’s that…

I Bought Hair Oil!!!!!!

Ok so last week I took the Mega Bus from DC to NYC for the day to attend IBS which is a Beauty Show… I think IBS must have been like the biggest one on the west coast at some point… the bus ride was cool I slept most of the way so maybe that helped. My salon owner had a free ticket waiting for me once I got there so I saved $85 off the break… Went inside the show which seemed like a sea of products and master stylist (I am sure they all were not master stylist some just master salespeople)… There was everything from wigs to foot scrubbers… Must have been 25 makeup companies (no major ones that you would know of)… I saw a rack of flat irons, brushes, blow dryers, etc… Products to make your hair curly like Miss Jessie’s and stuff to make your weave last 3 months… Beautiful I was overwhelmed with all the foolishness around me… Lucky me I have been to many hair shows so I am quickly able to separate the necessary from the useless… I bought a new blow dryer from RUSK and let me tell you I have been burning folks all week… The new blowtorch is not to be denied she gets super hot and I love it… I also purchased some makeup that I didn’t need at all… My biggest find was Moroccan Hair Oil… I love this stuff it smells amazing and not to mention it is weightless… Use as much as you want and it will not weigh the hair down… So now the Moroccan Oil is my new best friend… Simply apply a dime sized amount to damp hair and proceed with styling as usual… Trust me you are going to LOVE this one seriously… I often use a little more when I am about to curl and a drop when I am done… Now you see I have used a lot and I still get movement and shine but not that wet shine. Moroccan Oil gives you a natural healthy shine and she smells AMAZING!!!!!! GO GET IT NOW!!!!!

NuNU Part 2 HEAVY MAKEUP!!!!!

Here a little something that I did and I wanted to share it with yall!!!

Questions Question Questions!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Ok my beautiful people… I know I know… ya boy has been missing in action honey… yeah my schedule is wack, therefore I must do what I gotta do… Last month I did receive 2 emails with QUESTIONS for me…. You guys just don’t know how happy that made me feel… I guess you say “well if you were so excited what the heck took you so long to respond”… told you I been really working my fingers off… but it’s a good thing cause I love what I do and with every experience I get better… So anyways I received and email from a beautiful gal Miss. DE… she says that she has naturally curly hair and she wanted to know how to showcase the natural curl and for hair to not look dry once the water dries out… OK so here is the deal you have a little process that you need to go through in order to maximize the curl pattern. 1. Shampoo with a moisturizing and conditioning shampoo… This will leave the hair hydrated and help to bring out the natural curl… 2. Apply a generous amount of conditioner… Design Essentials Stimulations would be nice… I am not a big Design Essentials fan but I like this conditioner… Comb the conditioner with a wide tooth comb or a Denman Brush… 3. Rinse very well with cool water… HERE IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION: finally you should apply a heavy leave in agent that will sculpt and define the curl and prevent the hair from swelling and frizzing up… Cantu Leave In is good and so is Miss Jessie’s “Curly Pudding”… The “Curly Pudding” comes in 3 sizes and she work VERY WELL… you will need to work lots of the product in but it works well… Saturate the hair with either product and brush it with your Denman then pick it out a little with your wide tooth comb the be on your way… Let me know how it works out…
SECOND QUESTION… Miss TL wanted to know if it is good to go to the Dominican Salon to get your hair done… OK so here is the deal… Let me first say their pressouts are on 1000…. They are not intimidated by texture like many black stylist and they get you T Bone straight… If a texture is too course many of us (black stylist) run to the relaxer rather than struggling to do a blow out... thanks to my big sister who’s hair is VERY course I have a lot of experience with the best of them… not to mention that I work in a salon where 50% of the clients have natural hair… so I can do a blow out blindfolded… To get to the point yes the Dominicans are good I think I said that… and yes their process can damage your hair… but just like anything there are some good ones who know something about maintaining healthy hair… not many but a few… the thing with a pressout is that you MUST be sure that you are conditioning the hair VERY WELL!!!!! I would suggest a deep conditioner prior to the service and again when you shampoo… Be sure that you have your thermal protect spray leave in…. CHI has some great products for protection (trust me the Dominicans aint using that (and its cheap))… Finally let me say that every black stylist aint doing no amazing pressout either so you really have to look around… let me know where you are maybe I know someone… good luck finding a professional who can help you maintain your tresses… look me up when you come to DC!!!
