The diary of Mrs Makeup: Parties, Photoshoots and Loads of makeup!

What an eventfull weekend! It was so jam packed with excitement, that I have consumed more then the allowed dosage of Red Bull just to keep up.

As you all know, Friday night I celebrated the birthday of my photographic partner in crime Jennifer Conley. The event was called "Photogenic" taking place at the Empire Lounge located in Yorkville, Toronto.

I dont know if it was the night, the occasion or the setting. But this place was packed!

After finally squeezing my way past the burly bouncer (who made me line up even though I had a Ticket, was on the guest-list AND had a booth..ugh!!), I finally gained entry. By 1 o'clock, the club was over capacity and our other model friends were turned back at the door (even though they had their tickets and were on the guest-list). Promoter if your reading this feel free to make it up to me with another free ticket, booth and complimentry bottle of champagne :)

There were so many people inside, that going to the bathroom felt like a mini-field trip.

Yet I did manage to bump into my good old Mr Jayson Warbucks of Famus photograpy.

Not only is he a great still photographer, but is also well known on the club scene. We have done some amazing work toghether that is worthy of its own feature, but for now check out his work at http://www.famusenterprise.com/

Overall the atmosphere was ok, (if you like the packed-in-like-a -sardine feelling) we made the best out of a very tight situation and we partied the night away.

In the morning, while I was dreaming about my up coming makeup shopping spree, when I was woken out of my sleep by Maxwell Itoonz for an emergency makeup job. He was shooting a young lady by the age of 17 who had a strong desire of becoming a model. She was shy and timid, but with a little bit of coaching, I am confident that we will see her on the runway somewhere soon.

On sunday I finally made my way out to the Markham fair grounds for an Estee Lauder and Mac Makeup sample sale. Thanks to a VIP ticket kindly donated by budding photographer CreeCree Barrocks http://www.modelmayhem.com/1406679

The place was packed with women pushing and shoving their way through rows upon rows of makeup products. I was in Makeup Heaven! With prices ranging from 6 to 40 dollars. I scored some amazing deals on eye-shadows, lipglosses and powders. But unfortunatly there were'nt any lipglasses or eye pencils to be found. I had a set-amount of money to spend, but still went over budget and had to refrain myself from pulling a U-turn and running back inside for more goodies. Can you blame me? Its Mac!

Last but not least, next month look out for the Ridikulus Kouture fashion show and after party. Hosted by Hercules of http://www.gofash.com/ . I got the wonderful oppurtunity to celebrate his birthday at Suite 811. He is full of charm and personality.

As you can see, the ladies adore him and I am sure that Hercules will help make this red carpet event "The place" to be if you love everything fashion.
