Cruisin’…Tropic Thunder styles!

July 28, 2009 By valeria Leave a Comment

Ok. If you haven’t seen the movie…you’ll never get the reference…

In which case, you MUST ‘you tube’ Tom Cruise in last scene of Tropic Thunder.

Imagine. Rap blaring from your suped-up stereo system with the gold chains swingin’ as you break dance moves like you’re ‘smackin’ a ‘ho’….LOL.

and then there’s the Paul Buceta version…Bluetooth in ear, iphone in belt and SOCKS IN HIS THONG SANDALS!

If that’s not p.i.m.p. I really don’t know what is!

I have to pinch myself ‘cuz its such a dream to be working behind-the-scenes – doing makeup on the same fitness models whose pics I had taped to my fridge for inspiration. Cool, eh?

After weeks of letting summer get in the way of computer stuff, I’m finally ready to settle down and hook up the goods from in and around the studio!

So…I’m busy…

Today was my first time doing Tosca Reno’s makeup. Ummm, can you say nervous?

However, not only was the shoot awesome, but Tosca loved what the Nova brought! Yep, I do killer makeup ;)

New camera!!

May 18, 2009 By valeria Leave a Comment

I work with the greatest photographer EVER.

I came to work today to find a box on my makeup table…and inside was a brand new camera!

Paul Buceta got me a camera to inspire me to document my day-to-day life and blog more…

The first picture on the camera was a total blooper…but the second one’s pretty alright ;)

I think he has one hand in his pocket….’cuz the second one’s giving a peace sign. LOL
