Long time, no see.

It was brought to my attention tonight by my favorite stalker, that we have not noveled in over a month. This is NOT okay and you all have my deepest apologies. We will try to improve on our noveling skills.

We have had a very busy past month and a half which is crazy because typically, November and December move by in a snail-like manner due to the lack of weddings, photo shoots, and events. Not this year though! This year is full of firsts for us, I guess. Moving on....

Lets do a quick little replay of the last few weeks, shall we?

Well, first of all, we had an amazing photo shoot with London 5 Photography. It was a Dia De Los Muertos themed shoot and it went brilliantly. Jessica and Joe were are models, and Jessicas obsession with Americas Next Top Model was much appreciated. She knew how to execute every pose flawlessly. We went up into these caves (which we hiked 5 miles to get too) to do the shoot. All of the pieces in the puzzle just seemed to fall into place that day. I am so happy with the out come and I can not wait to see more photos!

The night of our Dia shoot, we met Adam Trujillo with Imagine photography and he pitched a shoot idea to us. Once we heard the words "Mad Hatter" we were sold. We were sooooo stoked to work with him, Weeds Floral, and Gimmie Some Sugar cakes, that Lauren and I could barely stand it. The next two weeks flew by full of weddings and an amazing VIP event at Red Rock Hotel and Casino. (PS the spa at Red Rock is GORGEOUS. I would literally DIE to work there doing makeup every day of my life. *hint hint* ;) Anyway, the night before the photo shoot, Lauren and I were chowing down sushi from Sushi Loca (She was eating the Pearl Special and I was eating Tuna) discussing our game plan and going over the makeup looks we had designed for the Mad Hatter photo shoot the next day. 8:30pm rolls around, Lauren is packing up her stuff to leave when suddenly, we both look at both of our phones. We each had 10 missed calls from an unknown number. Long story short, it was a celebrity client wanting our services for the next day. (Yes, the same day as the Mad Hatter shoot, AND PS the Latin Grammys!!!) Needless to say, we were BOOKED BOOKED BOOKED! (and stressed beyond words) We finally worked it all out and got our schedules together for the following day. We decided Lauren would go to the celebrity client and I would go to the Mad Hatter shoot and we would fill in the blanks with other employees.

The next day:

The Mad Hatter photo shoot...It was tough. I'm not gonna lie. I was trying to put foundation on our beautiful model Eva, and the dust brought up from the 200MPH wind was just layering on her face. The wind was so strong, it literally blew the false eyelashes I had put on her, off of her eye AFTER the glue dried. My makeup kit STILL has dust in it after I have cleaned it out several times. The wind knocked the cake and the flowers around everywhere. It was crazy, but the pictures turned out amazing! Weeds Floral, Imagine Photography, and Gimmie Some Sugar, all helped to make this photo shoot a total success and I had such a blast working with them!

After the photo shoot, I was rushing home to pick up my son and I ruin my car driving back to the main road from the shoot. By ruin. I mean total. I need a new engine, radiator, and a whole bunch of other things that I can't remember the names of. Sucked BIG time! I called a tow truck to come get my car and Mrs. Lauren Gardiner to come pick me up. As I sat at a dirty truck stop in Jean, NV, filthy and covered in dust from head to toe, with no car, I could not help but laugh at the fact that Lauren was in a Suite at the Mandalay Bay chummin' it with our celeb and the rest of the Style Siren crew. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

Oh and did I mention, we still had another 5 hour job that night AFTER all of this? Yeah. That was definitely the longest day in history.

I'm honestly tired just writing about all of this. I promise I will novel more. If you all would email me your beauty questions, I would be happy to answer them. This also helps keep me motivated to novel.

Have a wonderful night everyone! Don't forget follow is on Twitter, Myspace, and be our Fan on Facebook! (You can find it on my page www.Facebook.com/AllysonStagg)
