Hollyrod Foundation Design Care 2015 #StylistDiaries #20Models #Charity #AutismAwareness

I’ve ditched all my vices these days in favor of becoming an adrenaline junkie. There is nothing more exhilarating in my life than being thrown into an extreme situation. I live for it. That’swhy when I get offered a 20 model fashion show, I can NEVER say no.

When I was asked to help out with the amazing yearly Hollyrod Foundation Designcare 2015 event to tap a quality designer I said yes. In the past they have worked with fashion superstars such as Naem Khan and Emmauel Ungaro. Finding a fit in Los Angeles would be difficult but not impossible. I have great connections, and know even better designers. I tapped the stunningly talented Adolfo Sanchez and within 24 hours he and the amazing , Holly Peete Robinson and Hollyrod Foundation were working together.

Once you commit and find someone that is high caliber to a charity event this size things get out of control. First you get the designer, than you get tapped to help, than you are the Key Stylist for 20 models, in 20 looks with two personal assistants. The models were gorgeous, the dresses were beautiful, and made me remember why I got in this business 8+ years ago, and the cause was worth working for.

Backstage was small but we managed to get all the girls in their dresses and looking stunning. All the headpieces, crowns, etc were provided by the lovely Fiori Couture. She makes the most magical fantasy pieces of couture you have ever seen.

Chaz Dean Studio provided Hair and make up s our girls looked professionaly made over. Backstage was cramped but we managed to get everyone in their dresses, head dresses with matching accessories.

We even had fresh flowers thanks to @VSanchezFlowers from Orange county.

Believe it or not this hot mess turns into the most beautiful, and well coordinated show you have ever seen. This is what we managed.

Overall this was a fantastic event to be part of. I got to be head/Key Stylist, had amazing assistants and co-workers .

HUGE thanks to Traci May Wagner for taking over backstage, she is an OG industry professional who works around the world and I was lucky to have her.

Marie Bargas and Drea Johnson for helping me. Dressing models in dresses with 15-foot trains is no joke.

Special thanks to the Hollyrod Foundation for including me in their event. They are amazingly professional, and they are doing their part to help educate families and children with Autism and give them the tools they need to to be strong, and overcome adversity and learning disability.

Cruise Compares Military Combat to Acting, Whalberg Loses It On Him . #Bravo #YouTellHim

If there is one thing I am totally behind in this world of ours, it is out troops. No matter where you stand politically, the men and women over seas fighting for us are beyond brave and deserve every bit of praise they get.

That is why there are so many movies over the years like this.

Stirring, dramatic and reminding us how much we take for granted. They are amazing counts of how everyday heroes save the world.

Unfortunately, Tom Cruise didn’t get that memo.

Once again our winsome not so heroic Cruise has let the Scientology devil take over with a good dose of verbal madness. Recently court documents came to light suggesting Cruise felt his job as an actor, was akin to ‘fighting in Afghanistan’.

According to The Gawker,

When asked by a lawyer if he was aware that his own counsel had “equated your absence from [his daughter] Suri…to someone fighting in Afghanistan,” Cruise said he hadn’t heard the analogy, but agreed that “that’s what it feels like.”

“And certainly on this last movie, it was brutal,” he added.

This of course had to be said during a press Q&A for the new movie ‘Lone Survivor’.

Cruise’s co-star, and leading man of the movie, Mark Wahlberg was not amused. And he flipped out. Very much in the right. Wahlberg cam back at him with a very lengthy tirade telling Tommy Boy, to STFU;

“For actors to sit there and talk about ‘Oh I went to SEAL training,’ and I slept on the — I don’t give a fuck what you did,” Wahlberg exclaimed.

“You don’t do what these guys did. For somebody to sit there and say my job was as difficult as somebody in the military’s. How fucking dare you. While you sit in a makeup chair for two hours.”

“I don’t give a shit if you get your ass busted,” the tirade continued. “You get to go home at the end of the day. You get to go to your hotel room. You get to order fucking chicken. Or your steak. Whatever the fuck it is.”

Ohhhhh, snap. Although it was a bit out-of-bounds, Wahlberg just OWNED it.

Later he apologized for his ranty-rant and said he was ‘proud to be part of the movie’. I figure it was because PR told him to. I think it’s so Scientology, Tom Cruise’s handlers and Xenu don’t hunt his ass down.

Oh Tom Cruise when will you come back to us? Remember the days of ‘Cocktail’ and ‘Top Gun’? You were akin to a sex god. Now, you are riding the Scientology short bus. I guess when you’re co-pilot is Xenu, you are on a fast train, bound to end on the bad end of business these days.

Here’s hoping Cruise learns to control the ‘alien’ in his head, aka his brain. Team Wahlberg for the WIN!
