Diva Quote of the Day!

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. ~ Coco Chanel

My last photo shoot of the year 2011 went exceptionally well. I've not only had the pleasure to work again with photographer, Abraham LaFleur and MUA, Dassie Dash, along with photographer/ video director Will Millions, I also had the pleasure to style actress/model Sally Ferreira. I have to admit that I didn't know who Sally was before I met. Then I googled her after our shoot together and I have to admit, I was very impressed with her resume. She was featured in a many videos such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj -"Monster", Keshia Cole Ft. Missy Elliot , Lil Kim – "Let it go", and Lloyd Banks ft. Lloyd -"Any girl" – lead just to name a few. She appeared in t.v. shows and movies like "Sex In The City", and was featured in numerous magazines. And oh wait...Did I just spot Sally Ferreira in tonight's episode of Love & Hip Hop trying to help break up he fight between Erica & Kimbella? Oh snap! LOL. She has been definitely branding a name for herself especially in the Latin community. All of this was just the icing on the cake for me because upon meeting Sally, I found that she was very "down to earth" and such a sweetheart to work with which matters the most to me. So far I have been truly blessed to work with very sweet models but Sally was one of few that knew what she was doing and knew how to work the camera and made my job easy to do. She was such a trooper and was down for whatever and I appreciated that. She made shooting in the freezing cold look effortless and also squeezed on extra small, hardly no stretch leggings. And on top of everything she was funny and the images came out AMAZING!!!!! Will Millions also shot a video during this shoot so stay tuned for that. I cant wait to see and watch Sally's career blossom. I really hope to work with her again and I wish her nothing but all the best in her continuing success. I am ecstatic that my year ended with a BANG! Check out photos from the shoot below!

Love Letter # 4 - Weekend highlight...

Dear Fashion,

The highlight of my weekend was styling another photo shoot. I also had the privilege 2 put my Make Up Artist skills 2 the test at the last minute without my my brushes or make up...lol. I felt like McGuyver making it work with what was available. I have 2 say that it came out pretty well. I use 2 do make up before in the past & I always practice on myself & always get compliments on my work, so I think I am going 2 add this add another notch on my belt & become a triple threat stylist. Erica B.-Designer, Stylist, MUA...Sounds nice. I had the pleasure again 2 work with Photographer, Abraham LaFleur again & for the first time with Model, Jeuly Cuevas. It was also a privileged 2 also share the shoot with one of my BFF's April Lynn, who officially made her debut as a stylist on this day. I truly believe in helping out & building up one another. Check out & follow her blog as well: woreit.blogspot.com. I also designed & printed up some business cards printed up quickly 2 have available until I figure out my logo & develop my website. I am so happy & grateful that I am receiving a lot of wonderful feedback and referrals. Everything is moving along smoothly, it's insane. I wish I started doing this earlier in my life rather than have gone though all the bull. But I only appreciate what I've went through more now because it not only built up my tolerance & character, but it helped me 2 be more appreciative, 2 see clearly what I want & won't tolerate in my life anymore. Check out the photos below & also check out & like my Facebook Stylist page @, www.facebook.com/EricaBStylist. Follow me on Twitter @, www.twitter.com/#!/Twenty47DIVA. Request me on Model Mayhem, MM #2464104. Until next time...

Smoochez,
