Showgirl Reunion

This is a FUN blog! Most of you don't know I was a showgirl in my 'younger' years. Ha! Surprise! Below is a special event I wouldn't miss for the world.

100 year Reunion for Showgirls

This event is in Paris, France, at the famous “Lido” on June 24th, 2010.

There will be friends I performed with that I haven’t seen in over 20 years.

I worked for MGM Grand as a Showgirl for over 13 years. I began as a “Bluebell” while finishing my Senior Year in High School. I was the youngest showgirl in our show with a cast of 300 people.

The stage we rehearsed and performed on was the size of a football field. We had a FULL SIZE Airliner that filled part of the stage as we danced on the wings.

I couldn’t believe I was featured in a book posing in a white tux and cane with a cast of showgirls behind me on stage…the next chapter was about Marilyn Monroe. Unbelievable! I still am amazed when I think about my bright past.

I guess I did get my Grandma’s genes…she did all of Mae West’s beaded dresses---
Grandma was her private seamstress.

I am thrilled and excited to participate in this special celebration. It will be fun to reminisce with old dancing friends.

As of today, I am 45 years old and still take ballet classes, Pilates, Yoga and more. I absolutely love it.

Occasionally, I have colorful dreams of wearing beautifully elaborate head dresses with sparkling costumes…that’s when I wake up with a smile knowing I was part of the last generation of “True” showgirls.

My scar makes me feel insecure

Hiding a scar by permanently camouflaging it will help you feel so much better about yourself...but, be cautious. It takes time, money and a lot of patience! You might have to go through one or many color changes during the process! It all depends on how YOUR SKIN heals the color.

Sometimes it's better to LEAVE IT ALONE and resort to covering it with makeup. If you need help with color choices, I'll be able to assist you at my studio.

If you are willing to go the extra mile and stay with it until the end, it may bring back your confidence.

How do I cover my scar?

Most scars can be hidden by flesh toned pigments that are put in the skin with needles. You can cover your scar with camouflage work...permanently. With the right pigment color, topical anesthetic and the digital 'Nouveau' machine, it can be accomplished. In the permanent makeup industry, this is called a 'Para-medical' procedure.

For example...I had a client come to see if I could camouflage scars from a face lift. The 1 3/4 inch scar was white and located under the chin. With a simple 'color patch' test, (there were several involved) we found the closest color to the skin. Voila, no more scar!

Don't think it's that easy, though! While the end result is worth it, it does take time, patience and money. It's an investment that will bring back your confidence and self-esteem.

No more scars!

If you are a person who does not mind covering your scar with makeup every day, I will match the perfect foundation that will hide your scar. Otherwise, come and see me for scar camouflage work. You'll be happy you did.

How long does permanent lipstick last?

Permanent lips last a L O N G time but it varies with each client. I have a client who has beautiful soft pink natural lip color that has lasted over 7 years. It still looks as if I did her lips yesterday.

Other clients who are in the sun everyday have come back for a Touch Up visit every 3 years.

If you have small lips, uneven lips, wrinkled lips, bad vision or your lipstick does not stay on very long, permanent lipstick is for YOU!

I customize the color based on your personal taste, hair color, skin color and eye color.

You'll love it....and so will your significant other.

No more lipstick on drinking glasses, smeared on a man's shirt or left on his face after a smooch.

Go Permanent!!!

Does permanent eye liner hurt?

That's a good question and one that is asked frequently. I have to say from my own experience, having my eye liner done permanently did not hurt but it was strange. The pressure from the technician stretching the skin was weird because (let's face it) who ever goes near your eyes...no one. That is itself was different. During the procedure, my eyes were closed the entire time. That was relieving.

I have to sum it up by saying that having your eyeliner procedure done is Bizarre....not painful. I love it!!! It gives my eye definition 24/7.

Before the procedure, there is a topical anesthetic applied to numb the area.
Easy, Breezy!

Am I a candidate for permanent brows?

I recently had a 61 year wise client come to see me for permanent brows. She thought she might be too old for permanent cosmetics. Not so...you can be as young as 18 or as old as my client who is 93. All ages benefit from permanent cosmetics.

My younger client had hair but did not have enough...so she needed a bit of shadowing/ shading. After the procedure, it looked as if she added a powder to your brows. (but she didn't...she came to see me for permanent brows). Now she has more time for herself instead of spending time applying product to her brows.

My wiser client lost her brow hairs over the years so she needed a shape along with single hair strokes to make her look as if she had natural brow hairs. ( I loved it when she jumped for joy after her procedure)!

Both look beautiful. Both are happy. Both don't need to spend any more time and energy putting on their brows every morning....having permanent brows took care of that!!!

Yea!
