The Bead for Health launch party.

Bead for Health has been a great success for Nikki Clarke. The Bead for Health book is already circulating in Chapters and Indigo bookstores throughout Canada. And her one-of-a-kind jewelry designs have made appearances on ETalk, and Rogers Television. Nikki has been super busy, hosting the Live with Trevor an Nikki show every Thursday,  aiding in organizing the Aroni awards and traveling across the country. So busy in fact, that the her book launch and recent Bead for Health store, had yet to be celebrated the way it should be.

What better way to celebrate then with friends, beautiful models and good food?!

With dim red lighting, and the aromatic scent of fresh roasted coffee beans wafting through the air, 

one couldn't ask for a more comfortable setting then that of Rendez-vous restaurant.

After I got models Banita and Carly ready to present Nikki's latest jewels, I got the chance to take in not only the restaurants comfy setting, but the amazing food as well. Offering everything from familiar sweet cakes to authentic Ethiopian dishes, there was something to satisfy even the most critical palette.

It was also the second time I witnessed the Bead for Health jewelry disappear at such an alarming rate! I had my eye one the blue feathered earrings but before I could makeup my mind, a lady scooped theme up. Within two hours every last piece of jewelry were sold out.

Loads of people came out to support the book and store launching. Including founder of the Black Music Association and Nikki's Co-host Trevor Shelton and owner of The Fashion District Sherryl Lynn Petrie.

I had a great time, my models looked fab , scored a beautiful Bead for Health bracelet, and as always  to met some great new people.

Don't forget to check out the Bead for Health store at 1114 Queen Street East, Toronto, Ontario. B.T.W word around town is Nikki Clarke got signed to a record label! Who knows, you might see 

Mrs Makeup going on tour with her! The sky's the limit!

A Millionaire Lifestyle charity event

Designer Sarah Gwan is starting to create some buzz around her Millionaire Lifestyle Clothing line. So much so, that InWithTheHype promotions asked Sarah to come to Niagara for a fashion show. What better place to host Millionaire Lifestyle clothing's, first fashion show than at The Bank Lounge in Niagara Falls?

 The upscale club is exactly what the millionaire lifestyle is all about, not only does the VIP have lushes leather furniture, but the walls display big murals of Canadian dollar bills.
 It was great to see some familiar faces again, Photographer Courtney Nicole, Lucky 73 and StrongArmEnt were there to capture background footage. Models Lola, SkinnyBuck and Stevie Nicks the original Millionaire models were there, accompanied by some pretty new faces, who came as far as Buffalo to model the brand. 

With 2 makeup artist and 2 hairstylist on board, we got more then 10 girls ready in no time, including designer Sarah Gwan (pictured above fanning herself with a stach of MLC 100 dollar bills).

 And with so much extra time to spare, all photographers got the chance to take some amazing pictures before the show.

The event went well,  and all proceeds  were donated to the Keep-A-Breast  foundation.

BTW Millionaire Lifestyle is looking for the next Millionaire Lifestyle Clothing Model!! If you think you have what it takes, email your contact information with two porfolio pictures to Sarahgwan@gmail.com

Backstage..Poppin Bottles with Brett Williams aka "Bowx" and Peter Jackson

Whats in the air over there in Ajax? Whatever it is, its gotta be good. Im starting to think that I live on the wrong side of the city. That little town is a breathing ground for talent it seems..Graphic Designers, Models, Rappers and.....Hockey players?

Brett Williams a.k.a Bowx is a 10 year pro-hockey veteran from Ajax, ON, who not only knows how to work a stick (no pun intended), but also knows how to rock the mic...and then some! Word around town is he has sold over 70,000 CD's thus far. So why not team up with rapper Peter Jackson another Ajax native for the "Poppin Bottles"  remix, of 9-0-Nickel Entertainment's Tussin Mixtape.

With food, liqour and beautiful bodies everywhere, the day couldn't be more perfect for a BBQ pool partied themed video with Videographer Duxx of Concrete Gorilla.




When I was finished with my touchups I got to scope out the scene from a distance.

Peter and Brett both did they're solo shots, surrounded by all the beautiful models.

After everyone got acquainted, it looked like

they've known each other forever.

Maybe a little too well........................?

With no complaints from me ofcourse! Makeup and water don't mix that well. So when bottles really started popping..

I knew my job was done!  Giving me the chance to finally enjoy some BBQ chicken!

Thanks Brett and Peter for your northern hospitality and hiring Mrs Makeup for this gig!

 

B.T.W!!!

Peter Jackson featuring Naughty by Nature's song certified Directed by G-Dot Solo) has gotten over  25141 hits on Word Star Hip Hop.com
Congratulations Guys!!

Dont forget to request the song on your local radio stations and show some love for Canadian talent.

Back stage with the Miss Eternity 2011 finalists

WWW.MISSETERNITY.COM

 The name screams pageant but, with a fushion of models, designers and fashion, its a model and designer competition like no one in Toronto has done before.  For the second year in a row, models compete in the Miss Eternity Fashion Showcase for the ultimate title of Miss Eternity 2011.

Invited to be one of the makeup artist on set for the promo shoot, I got to meet all the pretty models up close and personal. Some were shy and quiet, while others displayed moments of shear Diva-tude (not mentioning any names).

MafiaPhotography was on site as the photographer for the evening. Director/Co-ordinator Temo Primrose Gare was the best hostess, not only making sure the girls were fitted with the cutest summer dressed, but also insuring we were well fed.
