Hello all!

Its 10 days in and it has been an incredible year already.  I really feel like Christmas strengthens bonds between friends, family, and of course if you are lucky enough to have one– your penguin.

This was the first Christmas I truly felt like a kid again.  From waking up at the crack of dawn and sliding under our enormous tree to a sea of gifts.  To a delicious breakfast in lieu  of the traditional xmas breakfast I had as a kid whipped up by my penguin (Danny) and a day to follow filled with the beginning of new traditions that we will have for years to follow. I feel like Christmas makes you fall in love again.  In love of course with your partner, but even more so with your life.

This new year my overall resolution is to really be in the moment.  Whatever it is that I do I am just staying there and enjoy it.  Last night for example Jisette (concierge/ cleaning lady/ best friend) and I tore down my massive tree and did a deep spring clean ironically enough into the dark night hours of the winter cold but how refreshing is it to wake up to the smell of Fabulousa, bleach, and the wide open space that miniature Santa Clauses, gifts, garland, strange christmas decor on every counter space, fake snow, and bowls of ball conceal.

I digress– what I am trying to say is that each thing I do– as simple as cleaning up the Christmas decor (something not as simple as it sounds) I am making it my goal to simply be there.  And that all encompassing resolution has of course flooded the gates of the Glam Factory.

I am a firm believer in following your passion.  As most of you know mine of course if being a Makeup Artist–and with that I utilize my artistry in as many areas as it will lead me.  Brides, education, photoshoots, classes, parties– anything and everything Glam is a place where I am following my passion.

Am I saying that I half assed all my trials, photoshoots, etc. in 2011.  Of course not.  Happy brides shoot out of the Glam Factory doors like Chocolate bars off a conveyor belt at the Hersey Factory.

However this week I had a trial with a bride who was a refferal.  She was reffered by my former bride who ended up taking a bunch of classes with me.  Its a domino effect here in the world of Glam.

In any event at this trial I really just let myself go.  Who needs one cheek highlighter when you can have two.  If my brushes were magic wands I felt like the chubby little fairy in sleeping beauty shooting out the full spectrum of fairy dust from my magic wand.  (And I don’t know why they call it dust when it looks like an electric bolt)

That said I feel like the look that I created was an incredible blend of traditional Indian makeup methodologies, fuses with the deeper end of the neutral pallet, balance shades to contour the natural curves of the face, and a golden opalescence to pull out the highest points of the face.  That– with a pouty Jlo tribute lip, cascading Dolce and Gabbana curls,  and WALA– my Masterpiece!

I hope you enjoy the manifestation of my New Years Resolution.

To all that haven’t realized– there is still time to book your seat for the amazing Glam Academy taught by The Glam Fairy– Alexa Prisco herself.  This is not just a normal makeup course– there are two levels– basic and senior.  Both create soldiers of glam ready for any situation.  Not only will you learn all of Alexa’s signature techniques and tricks but you will also learn how to make something of it.  You will not leave this program hoping to get a job at a makeup counter.  You will leave this program making something of yourself!!  Doing your own thing.  Alexa will personally teach you exactly how she got there, her formula for success– so include that with extensive hands on makeup training and incredible portfolio images taken by Miss Glammy herself you will have glitter oozing out of your scalp.  For more information please visit www.theglamfairy.com and see Glam Academy under classes.  To get the ball rolling on enrolling on this incredible program please fill out our contact form.

And my glam factory is Suite E410!  Come check out the Glam Factory this Sunday Nov. 6th!

If I said that googling myself wasn’t a past time I would be a liar!!  I am almost positive that nearly everyone has found themselves curled in front of the computer at some point in their lives, in oversized sweatpants, a ripped up t shirt, hair in messy oily bun, craming your mouth with some strange combination of chocolate marshmallows and pretzels putting the almighty quotations around your name inside your favorite search engine hoping that someone, somewhere, said your name.

In any event, on one of these signature evenings I found myself engaging in this all too familiar past time and came across a wonderful blog from Peace, Love, World — one of my favorite clothing lines!  They bring oversized fashionable comfort to a new level and of course are a staple in my closet of Glam!  PLW blogged about one of the shirts I wore in a recent Jerseylicious episode!

Well I connected with PLW and got a bunch of fabulous items that I wore for a bunch of recent press events!  Before The Glam Fairy premiere party hosted by Style at the Gansevort– the fairies and I made over some very special guests attending the swara and what is better Glam gear than a PLW sweat shirt!!

The next day before doing a satellite media tour I was literally HEAD TO TOE in PLW… from the fabu sweats that have PEACE down the leg, to the off the shoulder sweatshirt with PEACE across the chest– I literally felt like the one scene in Wayne’s World when Garth was head to toe in PEPSI gear but I couldn’t help myself!!! These are the most comfortable sweats on the planet!!

I found myself in this sweatshirt for a week… I felt like Linus with his blanket.  This is the ULTIMATE in loungewear.  Screw skin tight juicy pants that DONT make you look thin. They make you look chubby and like your on some strange conveyor belt that produces girls from the NE region. (juicy suit, uggs, baseball hat, and a vest over) SO over it.

You must get these comfy clothes IMMEDIATELY!!

#1 they are actually beyond comfy… fleece lined and super cozy.

#2 you don’t feel guilty wearing oversized sweats because they are so freaking cool– so you can go out and have REAL comfy sweats… not go out comfy sweats.  These are the sweats you don’t get out of when you get home and run for your pj pants– these are the sweats that you keep on for a week!

#3 If your over 25 like myself and don’t want JUICY across your ass however want a fashionable LARGER comfier option– then these are the ticket!!

Here are some pics of moi in my PLW gear!!!

Check out www.peaceloveworld.com to get your own googling sweats now!!  Its the best hibernation gear I have ever come across.  And if the fire alarms go off and you run out of the house– you won’t have to be embarrassed about your sweats!

I love peace love world!!!

Thanks Angie!!

Smooches!

Last Sunday I celebrated the premiere of my brand new tv show on the Style network with friends, family, press, and the amazing vendors that made this party possible!

About a month prior to this party I met my instant soul mate Samantha Goldberg also featured on several Style network show’s such as “Who’s Wedding is it Anyway?” and has graced the lens of nearly every news channel possible.

After endless conversation she offered to coordinate a premiere party for me and when Samantha throw’s a party– SHE THROW’S A PARTY!

This was the most fabulous event I ever attended!!  Samantha is not only such an amazing person and true friend but my god can this woman literally get into your brain and understand how you would want the party of your dreams to look like!

Floor to ceiling pink drapes uplight with pink light’s controlled by the click of a remote.  Black and pink shag rugs that would put an Austin Power’s party to shame accented incredible boutiquey zebra couches and a matching ENOROMOUS circular ottoman with fluffy pink pillows in the middle!

Lucite tables lit from underneath with a soft pink light were the home to the most fabulous drinks ever!!!  http://www.bar-candy.com/ the owner of this fabu company came and handed out these amazing drinks to everyone and my allergy to alcohol seemed to slip my mind that night as i couldn’t resist these chocolate champagne glasses topped with a fresh strawberry and filled to the brim with chocolate liquor.

And a glam party would not be a glam party without OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS!! www.occmakeup.com David Klassfield owner of this incredible line of vegan cruelty free makeup had is top artists there adding a smokey eye to all the guests!! And as if that wasn’t enough every guest left with the new fall collection of his incredible line of makeup!!

And what kept the vibe of the party going?? Of course my favorite 80′s tunes– courtesy of Mike Navarez from ANS entertainment!  He also had a fabulous flat screen that allowed all of us to cuddle up on the zebra ottomans and couches courtesy of the fabulous http://www.jsfrental.com/ and watch the premiere of the show!

It was such a great time!!!  All the guests got to take super fun photo’s in a classic pink and black photo booth courtesy of Josh Lynn– my very good friend and incredible photographer who also captured all the fun moments of the night!!

Everything was really incredible!!  Samantha had her upcoming BLING BAR with edible 2 & 3 Karat diamonds, rubies and other jewels that were SUCH a hit that they were gobbled up in seconds!!

And of course the liquor was served by a gorgeous model courtesy of Gianonne Liquore www.gwine.com They had this incredible signature drink which was a vodka made with the acai berry and the new upcoming hard and healthy liquor.  With a splash of lemonade and cranberry juice everyone was fascinated with this new fabulous drink!!

This party meant so much to me– not because of the show– because it allowed me to remember who the true friends and family I have had all along.  Celebrating this new venture in my life was made possible in the most fabulous glamtastic way by Samantha Goldberg.

Samantha was a person I only had seen on TV and I could only dream what she could do to an event– I never thought that not only would she be such an amazing person a friend– but also create a full blown GLAM LOUNGE out of a big vanilla box in the Monroe Art’s Center– home to The Glam Factory.  She preserved my brand’s integrity, had fabulous gifts for all my guests, had the walls dripping with pink and the room filled with enough glitz and glam that my jaw literally hit the floor.

Sam I cannot thank you enough for being such a great friend and for putting together such an amazing party for me!  Thank you to every vendor that made this possible and to all the truly amazing friends and family I have.
