Behind The Scenes Of Bob Pressner's "King Of Nothing Video

Nicole had jury duty and since I had assisted her on Laura Michelle's video Kurt asked me to join them on another shoot. This time the location was a one day in downtown just a skip down from my hood. This shoot was at TJR Films a full service music video and commercial production company ran by the most rad guys. The oldest of the company is Collin who at 27 with his younger brother Taylor, 23 have already achieved so much success with their business for not even being opened a full year! It's really cool to see such ambitious people doing what they love at such a young age. These kids have been on set while they were in their teens and now they're taking off running with TJR some of them on the team not even in their 20's yet. They were fun and professional to work with!

Today I was working with singer song writer Bob Pressner

If there was eye candy for the girls, there was certainly something to look at for the guys. On set we had the lovely Lauren, Jasmine(right), Jen (below) and even Playboy's May centerfold Nikki Leigh rounded out the sexy models that Becks and I got to doll up!

I even grabbed Sam of the art department and took a spin around her brows with my pencil and some thread. See the difference from the left to the right one?

You would think that everyone would have gotten all twittered around all these babes but the girls were so cool and down to earth that you almost barely noticed that there wasn't much between you and their naughty bits :) Plus, there were other distractions.....

This is Nick Bishop . Nick has been handling snakes and scorpions and other scary creatures since forever. He brought his little friend Butters along to upstage our models.

You either ran from Butters, an albino boa (just like the one Britney danced with at the VMAs) or you took a picture with him.

Of course there was actual work going on in between the snakery. The crew busted a sweat building this dope set!

Eric reminds me of Wesley from The Princess Bride.

Matt and Emily checkin the stats.

Chad watching the monitor.

Michael Bolton loving what he does!

Laura Michelle even dropped by and we got to see some footage from her shoot "Chuck Norris"

If you film here there WILL be a monster truck rally !

We had fun and wrapped somewhere in the 3am zone. It was an awesome shoot with some amazingly wonderful people!!

Weekend Photoshoots!

What does one do when you're a makeup artist in LA on a warm March Saturday? A Beverly Hills photo shoot complete with Playboy bunnies and Maxim bombshells! Hot shirtless studs (oh yeah, I call em studs)playing volley ball. Models in the mineral bath, massive open self serve bar, an aviary! Parrots with the run of the house? It was one ferris wheel and a lama away from the Neverland Ranch. Apparantly Eddie Murphy owned this house 8 years ago and is now owned by a Mobile Home Park owner billionaire who likes to host these weekend photo shoots for LA's hottest photogs looking to update their books. It's also another great way to have Russian beauties lounge at the pool. So here is an inside look at how a billionaire spends a Saturday.

I could sing in here forever!

This is Aleksandra from Ukraine. What a doll! MM# ‎1558546

This was her second makeup look. I added a frosty green lid some Ben Nye orange cheek and lip. I wanted to bring on some funk to this breezy spring look. The dress designs are brought to you by the talented May Salem of Native Sol (http://www.nativesol.org/)
