We recently did a cute segment for Better TV in the Purple Lab apartment (a.k.a. my home/office/warehouse). They shot here once before and I have to say, it’s always fun to have a film crew come over!
The producer, Marianne, is heaven to work with and – I love this about her! – she writes vampire young adult novels (check her out). This was one of her last shoots for the network before she left to write full time (we’ll miss you, Marianne).
The spring runway – and even many fall runways – were stalked by glamazons sporting a fresh-faced, natural, no-makeup-makeup look. Have you noticed? So we put Ashley, one of our multi-tasking mavens, to the test and create the look herself.
Meet Ash:
She is an all-natural kind of girl to begin with (not to mention the most amazing singer ever – full on jazz vocals a la Norah Jones).
Armed with Silk Sheets luxe foundation infused with silk, Luxury Squared under-eye concealer and highlighter, collagen-packed Cheek Implants in Backstage Pass (ripe, delicious peach with golden undertones), Lashionista Modelista and Huge Lips Skinny Hips in Worship Kate, she turned herself into an exact replica of what Stella McCartney’s models looked like on the catwalk. (Love Stella, BTW.)
I have said this before but in case you missed it, I’ll say it again.
It took Todd and me two years to get Huge Lips Skinny Hips from our brain to shelves. With new partners behind us, a fantastic and experienced development team, it took five months – FIVE! – to create FIVE new products!
I can’t say it was easy and this time around, I wasn’t in the middle of manufacturing madness, which is a place I clearly do not belong. The ease of working with a team who knows exactly what they’re doing and has been doing this for more than thirty years is such a welcome change, I almost feel anxious because I’m not anxious.
