Project Runway at New York Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

Andy South heads East - to New York Fashion Week! 

Opening day for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in it's new home, Lincoln Center, featured one of Hawaii's own... Andy South. I was there to witness this epic moment for my fellow Hawaiian and was so proud, as he was one of the stand out collections within the Project Runway Shows- and I'm not just being bias, others agreed! 

So, to begin my Fashion Week coverage, here is one of his most delicious pieces... perfect for a Fashionista's escape to Paradise. Good Luck Andy!

LOST and found...

What a delightful reunion I had with 10 of the most beloved characters on LOST as they gathered together on the north shores of Hawaii to shoot for Entertainment Weekly with Michael Muller behind the lens. I had the pleasure of being on a great team as a groomer. I worked with Michael Emerson and Jorge Garcia. Farewell LOST... you will be missed. 

Crowning Glory

   It was quite a privilege to work with Hawaii's newest Miss this past Sunday at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel. From the opening number to the first walk as Miss Hawaii 09, Ariana Tseu stole the show! This woman is beautiful, poised, smart, passionate.... and I know she is going to do an amazing job representing Hawaii on the National Level!! I had the best time working back stage with her! Through four different hair/ makeup  and outfit changes.... there was never a stressful moment. It was so enjoyable! Don't get me wrong, backstage at a pageant you'll always be rushing.... but never a bad attitude, a negative word, or a wrong look came from Ariana. She in fact, was often mentoring and coaching some of the other contestants who had never done this before, backstage. It was rewarding to see someone take the crown who really was deserving of it! This evening marked the 10 year anniversary for Ariana, of being crowned Miss Teen Hawaii! It was a monumental night now taking the crown for MISS HAWAII as well. And as her Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist..... I was very proud!! I even got to jump up on stage to touch her up.... after she made her walk down the catwalk of course.... it was a crowning moment for both of us you could say!
