Video shoot this weekend with Jo Newman.

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Easter weekend and that the Easter bunny left lots of chocolate eggs from Godiva for you to find. hehehe

So this Sunday, instead of going for an Easter egg hunt, I did a video/photo shoot with my beautiful model Jo Newman.  She is absolutely a breathtaking beauty.  One year ago she relocated to L.A. and is doing great there.  In fact, she just booked a movie featuring Bruce Willis and Catherine Zeta Jones!  I'm so happy for her!

Unfortunately, just when my partner Larry and I thought we did a great video and photo shoot for the Shu Uemura Makeup Competition, when we got home, we realized there was no sound recorded in the video.  BUMMER!!!  So now, I will have to reshoot tomorrow with a different model, but it all happened for a reason, because the guidelines for the first challenge, required partial red floral lashes, which I did not use.  So even if all would have come out great, I would have had to reshoot anyway. You live and learn.

By the way, funny story about Catherine Zeta Jones I want to share with you.  About two years ago, I was working at Saks 5th Avenue in NYC as a freelance make up artist for Dolce & Gabbana.  I was standing there bored out of my mind, trying to catch a victim to put make up on, when I see this girl that seemed awfully familiar to me.  I immediately though, "OMG, that's my friend Nadia I have not seen in 10 years", so I ran up to this woman from behind, grabbed her by the arm, turned her around quickly and said to her... "NADIA, it's me.... Julio!"  She looked at me like I was nuts and pulled her arm away from me and said, "NO, NO" and ran away from  me.  I turned away puzzled and my friends who were behind me had this horrific look on their face and I said, "I thought that was my friend Nadia" and they said, "Girl, that was Catherine Zeta Jones you just grabbed." Needless to say, I  mortified!  LOL

So here are a couple of pictures that my boyfriend Larry and I took of Jo yesterday.  The challenge is called Cherry Blossom Beauty, but now I cant use them for the competition, so I'll post them for you to see since I'm going to do something completely different tomorrow!

Stay in tune for the next shoot I'm doing.
