WatchBehind the Scenes of an upcoming editorial for Washington Life Magazine. I’ll excuse that lovely Tim Coburn said that hair AND makeup was done by James, but it’s because he is used to it being that way haha! I did makeup for this shoot using Face Atelier and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. Looking forward to seeing it out on stands the end of March! ~Kat

I was looking through old links I had favorited and came across this one, one that makes me question if a ton of my followers came as a byproduct of this article on Gawker introducing me as Demi Moore’s “stylist”. Looking back this is pretty hilarious, but shows just how powerful Social Media can be. I noticed a huge spike in followers after this quick article came out and after...

My hubby saw this of Andrej and noticed I was doing makeup in the background. lol. The makeup for the Yoana Baraschi show (keyed by Lottie for Make Up For Ever was amazing and so fun to do!) My good friend Stella did makeup for Andrej.

Workshops at Studio400
When the ideal of a community photography studio came to our minds year’s back, my husband and I decided we wanted to provide local Washington DC photography industry artists with advanced education that they would normally have to find in major US markets such as LA and NY. It was a very normal thing to have to travel back and forth to NY if anyone desired to get this type of education and...

This Bravo page kind of trips me out... →
I’m looking at a group of ladies who I worked with last year on a number of The Real Housewives of DC episodes, including my local agency owner in the group, and right next to them is the commercial I co-keyed with my good friend Richard for Top Chef DC. I remember when DC was by no means considered any kind of market for the type of work I do, but now it’s plastered all over this...

I’m glad Bravo cleared this up. The Salahi’s had already been on the show before the White House event and were not trying to make it on the show by the time that happened, as suggested in the media.

MONEY SHOT

I just got word that my hour Comedy Central special, “Money Shot,” will be airing on Saturday August 21st. Mark your iCal. Here is a sneak peek-a-boobie.
I modeled my hair do after Al Sharpton.
I’m not sure what I’m doing in the photo but I am definitely embarrassing my family.
Talking about either balls or vaginas.
Of course I have to reblog because this is the...

LUIS ARAGON: Commercialness →
I’m not one to shoot down people’s hopes and dreams but I’m certainly not in the business of taking someone’s money and blow smoke up their butts. It’s my responsibility as a testing photographer to help models develop and steer them in a path that would help them succeed.
I always run into…
It was a nice change of pace to work on a shoot like this with my husband. It’s mainly...

I had a great opportunity to key the series of commercial and print advertising for Top Chef DC alongside fellow artist Richard Bernal and our awesome hand picked team (James Cornwell, Warren Bolden, Bethany Townes) to do the hair/makeup/grooming. We worked on all the contestants including the male judges Tom Colicchio and Eric Ripert. After having spent time with all the contestants I am more...

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Denis and his lovely wife Ann Leary for the White House Correspondent’s Dinner last year, so when Denis came back to Washington DC on a leg of his Rescue Me Comedy Tour 2 I got called in to do grooming for Denis and “the boys” as I’d come to call them through the night. The likes of comedians Lenny Clarke, Adam Ferrara, and...

WatchEyeWear Editorial with Bill Diodato
What is better than having the opportunity to work on shoots with an awesome team? Having those moments captured on video!

You can learn a lot about people on a stranded bus
The most entertaining thing about a bus getting a blown out tire on the side of the turnpike HAS to be all the passenger phone calls you overhear afterwards. It ranges from “bus got stuck, gonna be late” to “It was so scary! We couldnt go under the speed of 60 or the entire bus would blow up and the moment we did we hurdled to our near death in a flaming inferno on the highway and something...

Happy Memorial Day
I have monumental respect for military families. I grew up as an Air Force Brat & saw the stress, yet pride in my mom’s face everyday. The kind of life they had to lead from my dad having to leave for top secret missions to my mom being by his side at the evacuation of Saigon, makes me proud. I also don’t know if I could have been a military wife myself. As a daughter of an Air...

New Discovery (for me) that delivers? Loreal Paris...
This was given to me in a little goodie bag at the last New York Makeup Show at the Loreal Paris booth. I decided to try it out on myself since my skin has always been out of whack in not being able to decide whether it’s dry, oily, uneven, rough, the list goes on and on. I slathered a bit of this onto my face and I have been using it ever since! I’ve even been able to go out without...
