Certified with Peter Jackson, Naughty by Nature and Director G-dot Solo

Peter Jackson is one of Canada's fastest rising hip hop artists. If you havent heard of him yet, you will very soon!  He has worked with Sizzla, Wu Tang, Obie Trice, Llyod Banks, Ray J, Drake, Kardinal Offishall, Joe Budden, Enur, Beenie Man, and Nas  (just to name a few). 


When I found out that G-Dot Solo was directing the video for Peter Jackson new single "Certified" with  Naughty by Nature, I had to jump on board! The weather couldnt be more perfect, as we all met up in a top secret location in the outskirts of Toronto. The set was filled with industry insiders, rapper PDollaz, Bandit, Photographer Courtney Nicole, Flight school clothing, the Eh-Team Management and the guys from Me studios, were all there to show support.

And ofcourse Treach from Naughty by Nature, was there for his cameo appearance. (Still looking absolutly gorgeous)

But the real star of the show was definetly the vintage Cadillac Escalade, as she lit up the curb (yes I said SHE, because this ride was sexy!!).

Accompanied by my new assistant Keisha, we got the the girls ready for their closeup.

Taped in 4 locations over 2 days. I scored enough picture memories to last me a lifetime. But if you want to see what really happened, check out this amazing background video courtesy of Eh Team: 

Special thanks goes out to Peter Jackson and Naughty by Nature for making Mrs Makeup part of this amazing experience. And of course G-Dot Solo for hiring me .

Make sure to see Peter Jackson open up for Snoop Dogg in Barrie!!

G-dot is celebrating his birthday next week. Come hang out with him and other industry proffesionals inside Rockwood nightclub.

The Stylus Awards with Nikki Clarke

I have been sitting here thinking about one word to describe Nikki Clarke, but all I can find are two...Super Woman. As a Event Planner, Manager, Publicist, Television Host, Writer and Jewelry designer, the only thing she cant do is fly. So when she asked me to do her makeup for the Stylus Awards, I couldnt help but jump at the chance. 

The Stylus DJ Awards is the biggest DJ award show in Canada. Held at the Queen Elizabeth Theater in downtown Toronto it was a star studded sold out, red carpet event. Drake, Deadmau5 and Shawn Desman were among the prize winners this years.

The Bead 4 Health table was fully stocked with Ms Clarkes latest creations, including chains made of silver and crystals.

After doing Nikk'is makeup, I stuck around in the gifting lounge to watch the guest arrive. In less than an hour the lounge was filled with Canadian all-stars. Including MTV's Aaliya Jazmin, Bishop, A-game, Julie Black, Shawn Desmand, Kim Davis and Keisha Shante.

But the Bead for Health booth was definetly a celebrity favorite.

Rapper A-Game couldn't wait to scoop up Nikki's Crystal Necklace, and was overheard saying he "couldnt believe he got it for free"!





Aaliya Yazmins face was in awe over Nikkis pretty bubbles!

After Michael Del Zotto of the NY rangers scooped up some swag for his girlfriend, Nikki Clarke was completely out of stock.

Other sponsors included Pioneer, Heineken, Appleton, and UrbN Lili, who gave away free limitless amounts of free cocktails. I even had the chance to smoke Shisha for the first time!

Booths like Blo and Titika offered free hair products and clothing, and celebrities got to choose their own pair of vintage shades

And special thanks to the girls from Curly Hair Solutions for hooking me up with free products!! My hair has never been the same since!!

As the hallways started to fill and people scrambled for seats, I made a quick exit stage left. Ok actually I took  the wrong way down the redcarpet, but atleast I got to practice my walk!
