[ FAT ] Day One - Fashion Narratives





If you missed it earlier, I'm doing makeup in the media lounge for Toronto's Alternative Fashion Week each night of the event.  I'm not even going to bother posting any photos from Day One.  My lighting was horrible (try doing makeup in the almost dark....yeah, not fun...or pretty), the ceiling was leaking due to the rain storm, and I generally felt like a bag of dirt (getting caught in the rain en route to the location, again, is not fun....or pretty).  On a positive note, I saw my old makeup friends working backstage, a friend I went to college with who had a racy collection in the show, and talked to some interesting characters.  I also enjoyed  the live music.  More exciting things to report for Day Two....I swear.

Saturday's dinner was hosted by my dear friend Elizabeth and fiance Aaron.  Not your typical Easter dinner but it was the most delicious homemade lasagna!  How cute is Elizabeth in her modern kitchen with the cutest vintage accessories?!  She's a great little wifey already! ;)

[ FAT ] 2011 - Toronto's Alternative Fashion Week

I'm so thrilled to be teaming up with Make Up For Ever and doing makeup for FAT (Fashion.Art.Toronto) next week!  This is my 3rd year running doing this event with Make Up For Ever, and the last 2 years have been amazing! In 2009 I worked as a body painting artist, and last year I was doing makeup touch ups in the media lounge, which I will be doing again next week.  If you live in or around Toronto I highly recommend you check it out.  There is always lots of people, live music, and something amazing and bizarre happening amongst the runway.  Also, if you haven't used any Make Up For Ever products......you need to get down to Sephora ASAP.  Here are some photos from the past 2 years of the lounge, backstage, and my models:
