We’re so excited that entertainment companies like MTV and Vampire Diaries (BTW, so Team Damon) have been buying our professional makeup mirrors for use both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. And I feel so lucky to pay it forward and be a part of the LA based women entrepreneur community. Groups like Ladies Who Launch and SmartyLA are a cornerstone of my brain trust. As are the smart and talented men and women on our internal IT, e-commerce and sales teams who make it happen day-to-day.
Here’s a little glimpse on how Vanity Girl Hollywood got started. We totally invite you to share your dreams for existing and/or upcoming companies. What do you want to say? What do you bring to the world you beautiful AND brainy gals!
Last night, Vanity Girl Hollywood sponsored my girl Kenetia Lee’s free workshop for makeup artists (MUA). She was giving some on-the-ground tips for hard-working MUA’s on how she created her Hollywood career that they may use to propel theirs. Her career highlights include being repped by super agency Cloutier, as well as spokesperson for Revlon and L’oreal.
At any rate, it was a great evening at Naimie’s. Questions flying back and forth and lots of resource sharing. This IS how things happen in Hollywood. And one of the most exciting things for me? Meeting these hard working pros who LOVE our vanities. It was so validating to hear from the front lines and chat with them.
So here is a lovely article from MUA (and Vanity Girl) Jessica M. She was fast! This went up last night right AFTER the event.
And here’s a tweet that evening from Leslie, another Vanity Girl who is studying makeup artistry. ` So glad she made it back to San Diego safely. (Yes peeps, she drove up from San Diego to further her makeup career. )
All in all, it was a really great night. Thanks to Jessica and Leslie for spreading the Vanity Girl message of life, liberty and the pursuit of glamour for every gal!! Make sure to visit their blogs and Twitter. You know I am all about supporting Girl Power and each other’s creativity.
xoxo Maxi
