IMATS 2010 Pasadena California!

IMATS (International Makeup Artists Show)
Sorry it took so long for me to post some images of the event but Gosh I got home and got swamped with work! Not that I am complaining work is good...keeps the light no, food on the table, makeup products all stoked up...

So here are some Images of the IMATS. This Year I went for both Saturday and Sunday! Last year I realized that one day is to short to really get the whole experience of this Event.
So Saturday was all day classes learning on tricks and tips of makeup and business, Sunday I took some classes but also wondered around a bit more to take pictures, buy some products and socialize.

So here are the pics!
Enjoy,

Pasadena Convention Center!

IMATS is in town! This Weekend!

OK not in "town", I actually have to drive for 2 hours to Pasadena ...but it's so totally worth it!

So... like every year, I have my product list ready, my pre-selected list of classes to take and this year I added a secured bed to crash on, (yeah) that way I get to go for both days!

Master classes are offered on Friday but that is something for next year.

I'm ready! Who will be there?

Inspirational Artist: Nelly Recchia

As an Artist I am always looking for inspiration, always looking to improve and challenge myself, push the limits just a little more, create just a little more, and maybe...just maybe be able to break the box and not just think outside of it...

I was told as a young child that "Sharing is Caring"...
So let me share with you some inspirational work from a fabulous artist!

Todd Homme from Blush

I normally do not watch TV...OK I do watch TV, I just turn it off if there is nothing good on. I do not channel serf for hours with the hope that something good will magically appear. I particularly dislike having a date/appointment with my television....that is why I record or wait till the DVD comes out at Hollywood Videos!!!

But once in a while the Magic does happen!! And that was "Blush :The Search for the Next Great Make-Up Artist" that aired on Lifetime for the past few weeks.

The Show was AMAZING!!! I learned sooooo much!

I recorded almost all of it....I think I am missing only one episode...

Sooo much Talent in on Show!

And for this reason I have to say I am sooo sad for the passing of Todd Homme, one of the finalist in the show.

A beautiful and Extremely Talented Artist with a Contagious Smile and a Positive and Light Heated View of Life.

My thought and prayer are with Todd's family and loved ones.

Go Paint The Beautiful Angels Todd!

The world has lost a great Talent :(
