MY MARYLIN....

2011-10-03T19:10:00.001-07:00

I AM READING THE MEMOIR MY WEEK WITH MARYLIN BY COLIN CLARK. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE TO COME OUT SO AFTER READING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MOVIE IN THE OCT ISSUE OF AMERICAN VOGUE I RUSHED TO BARNES AND NOBLES(ANOTHER OF MY FAVE PLACES) AND GRABED IT. MICHELLE WILLIAMS PLAYS THE BLOND BOMBSHELL. IN THE BOOK COLIN EXPLAINS THE EVENTS THAT LEAD UP TO MARYLIN AND HIM BECOMING CLOSE ON THE SET OF THE MOVIE "THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL". COLIN KEEP A DAIRY OF EACH DAY WORKING ON THE MOVIE AS THE 3RD DIRECTIONS ASSISTANT( A GOFER AS HE PUT IT). HE DECIDED TO WRITE A BOOK ABOUT WORKING ON THE SET WHICH HE CALLED "THE PRINCE,THE SHOWGIRL, AND ME. PUBLISHED IN 1995. BUT A WEEK WORTH OF DAIRY ENTRIES WERE MISSING FROM THE BOOK IN WHICH COLIN GETS CLOSE WITH MARYLIN ESCORTING HER ALL AROUND LONDON. IN 2000 HE DECIDED TO ADD THOSE ENTRIES CALLING THEM "MY WEEK WITH MARYLIN.

LYNDSIE CORNELL.... SO INSPIRING

2010-10-28T11:52:00.000-07:00

ON SUNDAY I WAS INTERVIEWD BY A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR INSPIRING TO BECOME A FASHION STYLIST. LYNDSIE FOUND MY ONLINE PORT ON http://www.coroflot.com/ (my work can also be viewed at http://www.mialashay.carbonmade.com/ ) She sent me a email explain her assignment and her inspiration for working in the fashion industry. I was truly honored to be choose for this interview! At first I was a little nervous because I have only been freelance styling for 3 years and I am still learning the industry as well. I have came a long way.... but my god I still have a tremedmously long road ahead of me, to achieving all my career goals. I wanted to share my story with Lyndsie about a lot of things I went threw. Because NO ONE REALLY HELPED ME. When I first started I emailed so many stylist's that inspired me asking to assit them or just insight on getting into the industry....No one replyed back. I think that was the hardest lesson for me to learn...that everyone is competition. On a brighter note here are some pics from the interview and we went to a early dinner afterwards. Lyndsie's father was also a delight to meet.

GLAM UP BRIEF CASE...INSPIRED

2010-10-23T14:41:00.000-07:00

I HAVE BEEN A FREELANCE STYLIST FOR THREE YEARS NOW. I THINK I HAVE GROWN SO MUCH AND LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THIS INDUSTRY. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MY SELF AS A STYLIST AS WELL. MY STRENGHTS AND MY WEAKNESS. I HAVE COME A LONG WAY BUT STILL HAVE MILES, MILES AND MILES AHEAD OF ME.

I AM TRYING TO CHALLENGE MYSELF AS A CREATIVE STYLIST... USUALLY I STYLE BASED ON LATEST TRENDS AND STREET GLAM. THIS IS WHAT I WOULD SAY ARE MY STRENGHTS. MY WEAKNESS WOULD BE CREATING LOOKS THAT ARE NOT SLEEK AND WEARABLE. HOWEVER THESE LOOKS ARE WHAT GET YOU NOTICED AND TALKED ABOUT.

I PLAN ON A HAVING A VERY PRODUCTIVE CAREER IN THIS INDUSTRY. I HAVE NOW FACED MY WEAKNESS AND PLAN ON CHALLENGING MY SELF IN EVERY PHOTO SHOOT FROM NOW ON. UNTIL I AM COMPLETELY CONFIDENT IN EVERY ASPECT OF MY STYLING..... SO GLAD I WAS ABLE TO EXPRESS THIS.

I HAVE SO MANY PHOTO SHOOTS COMING UP JUST THOUGHT I POST SOME TEAR SHEETS I LOVE THAT GIVE SO MUCH INSPIRATION.....

MY RECENT SHOOT..... Behind the scenes

2010-07-28T19:48:00.000-07:00

I had a photo shoot on Monday. The inspiration was a little vintage, futuristic and classic. One of my fave looks was the futuristic one.... The hair stylist said it looked like a mix of futuristic mixed with the jetsons. I thought that was cool.... who doesn't love the Jetsons.
The classic look was a stylish girl out on a yacht with friends for the evening.... so cool.

I can't wait for the edited images. We shot them in my office at the Belvedre Hotel. I was really surprised because my space is really small but we worked it out. We also got some great images outside the building and in the conference room...We had a great team which created awesome images!!!! More images with the second model coming soon.

VINTAGE/THRIFT STORE SHOPPING

2010-03-02T20:13:00.000-08:00

Vintage shopping is one of most chicest thing to do now. For me being a new stylist to the Industry shopping at the thrift store is a great ways to shop looks for a photo shoot. Just starting out you really don't have contacts to pull from so you create other options....Thrifting always works for me. Here is one of my second shoots I done in a DC Metro station... Vintage Blazer and Belt
